At the recent budget meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council, mayor and staff heard that their budget is balanced for the upcoming year. Assistant City Manager Michael Greene said the general fund has around $43,746,634 in expenses and that the total expenses for all funds in the proposed budget are $114,584,483. He said it is very similar to years past. There is a surplus in the budget, which Greene attributed to the staff. “The way that comes about is just good budgeting on behalf of staff,” Greene said.

Season approaches for farmers market BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

As the first St. Clair Shores Farmers Market of the season approaches, it’s been smooth sailing for those doing the planning and working to get vendors. Donna Hill, farmers market coordinator, said getting vendors for the farmers market this year hasn’t been a problem. “Fairly simple,” Hill said. “We have a good following, so people are just calling and signing up all the time.” Hill said they have a good variety of vendors at the market this year and they never let more than two of the same product in the market. This gives way for a little competition but not too much. St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation Director Henry

Bowman and Hill have been planning the market for four years and before that, Bowman said he thinks it was happening for about 10 years. “Before we got here, it was really successful before,” Bowman said. Bowman said they are hosting musical guests this year, including the opening weekend. “We’re going to have a brass quintet there the opening weekend on the 21st and we’re going to have Rock Steady there in the afternoon,” Bowman said. The brass quintet is called the Macomb Symphony Orchestra Brass Quintet. New musical guests include The Dirty Elizabeths, Mojo Filter and others. There is also going to be an Elvis tribute show, Bowman said. Hill said there are going to be kids events. See MARKET on page 10A

SET SAIL FOR THE GREAT LAKES BOATING FESTIVAL BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

GROSSE POINTE SHORES — Summer is just around the corner, and for many Michiganders, that means time spent on the water. To get people ready to enjoy a fun season of outdoor recreation, the Great Lakes Boating Festival returns to the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club, 788 Lake Shore Road in Grosse Pointe Shores, where it will run from noon to 7 p.m. May 20 and noon to 5 p.m. May 21. Admission is free. This event has been taking place for more than 30 years, but this is the first time it’s being helmed by the Michigan Boating Industries Association. Amanda Wendecker, vice president of marketing for the MBIA, said it made sense for them to take over when the previous organizer retired. She said they were already See BOATING on page 21A

The St. Clair Shores City Council voted 6-0 May 1 to table a purchase agreement in relation to the sale of a parcel of vacant city-owned land on Jefferson Avenue, south of Masonic Boulevard. Councilwoman Candice Rusie was excused from the meeting. This property had a previous offer, but the arrangements fell through, City Attorney Robert Ihrie said. According to the agenda, the plan was to sell the land to the new purchaser, Triangle Land, for $850,000. The contract caused worry among a few council members and the mayor due to changes that were made at the last minute by the agent. The new changes were emailed to Ihrie the week before the Monday meeting, on Friday, and he said he immediately emailed that to City Manager Dustin Lent. One of these changes included a paragraph in the contract that was supposed to mean the opposite of what was originally stated. The original contract, before the changes, was presented as a hard copy in front of council the night of the council meeting. “In the event the purchaser does not send initial notice to proceed on or prior to the expiration in the initial contingency period, this agreement shall terminate and the initial deposit shall be returned to the purchaser,” Councilman John Caron read from the original contract. Ihrie said the language of the contract had already been changed prior to the council meeting. “I don’t have it directly in front of me, but essentially, it says that if they complete their 90-day initial contingency period and there are no material difficulties but they fail

to send their notice to proceed or present to us a proposal, they lose their earnest money,” Ihrie said. Ihrie also said there was pressure to get it out to the council to get the project moving. “We could have put it over a couple of weeks, but we wanted to get it addressed at this council meeting so we could get the project moving,” Ihrie said. Caron said he wanted a correct contract to vote on that has the correct language written in. “This has been going on for so long with this property and to get a contract that has a paragraph that where you’re saying it should say the exact opposite is not acceptable,” Caron said. Mayor Pro Tem and Councilman Chris Vitale said that, though it came through the prior architect and it is indicative that it’s the same project, there’s nothing that states that. “I think maybe part of the problem with this contract is that it’s kind of assuming a lot of things that we’ve already seen are going to carry on,” Vitale said. “And, you know, I read through this contract, too, and I don’t really see anything that states that.” Lent said this purchaser already knows a lot about doing their due diligence and they don’t expect this to take the full 90 days. He said they were very clear that they don’t want the agent to submit something that they know is going to fail just to get their money back. “So, it has to be as like (the) project that has already been submitted to council and has already been vetted at one point,” Lent said. Lent also said they were very strict on this purchaser probably because of the previous four years where they kept getting

his train station was located at 25814 Jefferson Avenue (between Statler and Madison streets, north of 10 Mile Road) on the Shore Line Interurban Railway. Interurban railways were widespread in North America between 1900 and 1925, particularly for passenger travel. The trains averaged 40-50 mph, much faster than a horse and carriage, which would have had to navigate on mostly unpaved roads. The Shore Line Interurban Railway was begun in 1896 and opened for travel two years later. In 90 minutes, a passenger could travel from Detroit to Mount Clemens along Lake St. Clair, for the charge of about 30 cents. Cars could accommodate up to 64 people and made routine stops, including several in St. Clair Shores, at stations like 66 1/2. By the late 1920s, interurban travel began to wane; the falling price of automobiles and the rising rate of wages made affording a car easier. Taxes supported the construction of more and better roads, and as privately held companies, interurbans had to support the costs of repairs and infrastructure themselves. Growth in cities also meant there was less space for the sizable train cars. In St. Clair Shores, the franchise for the interurban expired on June 21, 1927, and the Village of St. Clair Shores did not renew it. The interurban was replaced with bus lines, and with plans to widen Jefferson Avenue for vehicular traffic, the lines were torn up, so little of the era of the electric railway remains.

DETROIT — The day had all the makings of a beautiful homecoming for the Michigan Panthers as they took the field April 30 against the New Jersey Generals at Ford Field. The current Panthers had a perfect 2-0 record. The Ford Field scoreboard showed video highlights of the Panthers’ 1983 USFL championship. Panthers cheerleaders from the 1983 season were present, as was former Panthers quarterback Bobby Hebert. World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Big E was electric on the mic as the team’s emcee, working the crowd to perfection. The Panthers’ faithful were ready for their squad. Then the Generals offense exploded onto the scene with a quick 14-3 lead with six minutes still left in the first quarter, and the Generals went on to a 28-13 win over the Panthers. The Michigan Panthers fans made a good impression.

“I thought they were awesome; I really did,” Panthers head coach Mike Nolan said. “There were a bunch of people out there, and to be perfectly frank with you, that’s one of the disappointments I had, was not to have a better showing for the people that were here, because we’re a much better football team than that.” Although Panthers fans didn’t have much to cheer for in the first half, they weren’t afraid to show off their impressive dance moves on the jumbotron or, a crowd favorite, the Simba Cam where fans do their best impersonation of “The Lion King” with their child or friend. From a statistical standpoint, one would think the Panthers offense would have had a better showing offensively, totaling 22 more plays than the Generals and 11 more minutes of offensive possession, but the Panthers had no answer for the Generals’ big-play ability. Averaging 12 yards per passing attempt and just over 7 yards per carry en route to 377 total yards, the Generals offense had the

Firefighter loses battle with cancer

City Council approves architectural services contract for library renovation

Battalion Chief Shawn Goldie, 51, passed away on the morning of April 28 according to a post on the St. Clair Shores Firefighters Facebook group. Goldie fought a brain cancer related to on-the-job exposure to carcinogens, the post said. The St. Clair Shores firefighters offer their deepest condolences to Goldie’s family as they grieve with them, the post said. Goldie “His memory and legacy will forever be a part of the fabric of our department and the community,” the post said. The St. Clair Shores Police Department also offers their condolences in a post they made on April 28. “A true professional and a hero until the end,” the post said. “He will be missed.” At the May 1 city council meeting, Mayor Kip Walby conducted a moment of silence for Goldie and offered his deepest condolences to the family. “This community was blessed to have Shawn Goldie as a firefighter in St. Clair Shores,” Walby said.

On May 1, the St. Clair Shores City Council approved a request to award a contract for architectural services for the library renovation in a 6-0 vote. Councilwoman Candice Rusie was excused. City Manager Dustin Lent said in 2022 the library budgeted $15,000 and hired a consultant to renovate the library’s youth services room. Daniels and Zermack Architects were the hired architects in April 2022. Since then, the city has been awarded a grant for $1.5 million and the city received a donation of $181,844 from the Joyce A Robinson Trust for a new designated genealogy room, Lent said. The city went out to bid for the architectural services and the two companies, Daniels and Zermack Architects and PLY+ were interviewed. Lent recommended to go for the lowest bid, which was PLY+ in the amount of $185,941.30. The difference between the two was around $65,000. Rosemary Orlando, St. Clair Shores library director, said renovations include adding a genealogy area, moving the adult fiction collection, turning the adult meeting room into a teen and children’s area and much more.

ST. CLAIR SHORES SOCIAL DISTRICT STARTS THIS SATURDAY

Enjoy live music, yard games, great food and much more while supporting local businesses at the first social district event of the season in St. Clair Shores on May 13. It will take place from 5 p.m. to midnight, according to the St. Clair Shores city website. This event allows alcohol purchased at participating businesses to be carried around the designated commons area for the duration of the social district event. Alcohol must be in specifically designed cups, and guests are not allowed to bring their own alcohol into the district. Visitors and nonresidents are welcome.

Spring into action

Lakeview High School students will present “Just Great: A Retelling of Some Book by F. Scott Fitzgerald” on May 12 at 6 p.m. This play places characters from “The Great Gatsby” in a modern world where they are social influencers hosting a “1920s themed” house party. Madison Cooper, the drama teacher at Lakeview High School, said in an email that the play provides commentary on Gen Z’s overreliance on technology for socialization. She also said the modern scenes are placed together with scenes of conversations between F. Scott Fitzgerald and his wife, Zelda. “Those familiar with the original story will enjoy seeing the tension between Gatsby, Daisy and Tom play out as the same characters step into the modern era,” Cooper said in the email. “Anyone unfamiliar with ‘The Great Gatsby’ will see Nicole Carraway grow increasingly disgusted with the toxic culture of social media, before taking drastic action to show ‘Jason’ that he’s worth more as an individual than the digital crowd he’s been trying to impress.” This play will only be performed once, on May 12. Tickets are $5 at the door.

METRO DETROIT — Kimberly Anne Gillary was well on her way to an exciting athletic career at Troy Athens High School in 2000, earning a varsity letter in both swimming and water polo in her freshman year. Wes Leonard was an athletic icon at Fennville High School in 2011 between his impact on the football field and on the basketball court. Most recently, in 2023, Cartier Woods deserved more time on the basketball court to play the game he loved for Detroit Collegiate Preparatory Academy at Northwestern. “At 15, (Kimberly) was more mature than many people I knew at 50, and when I say that, her focus was on other people and not on herself,” said Randy Gillary, Kimberly’s father. “To me, that’s one of the signs of maturity, with realizing it’s about everyone else and not about yourself. She was always

focused on her friends, her family and doing what she could do to help other people.” Besides all being athletes, these young people had their promising lives cut short due to cardiac arrest during their respective athletic games. Eighty other students have lost their lives to cardiac arrest since 1999, according to the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation. Randy Gillary, founder of the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation, has teamed up with the Michigan High School Athletic Association for the second year in a row in honor of Cardiac Awareness Month in April. “What these foundations do is they provide funding to help schools and organizations get more (automated external defibrillators),” MHSAA Executive Director Mark Uyl said. “It’s easy to partner with our foundation people who are part of that group during this month to increase awareness and really keep the conversation going. Truth be told, our efforts and the megaphone we have are probably improved and enhanced, given what happened with Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who had a cardiac arrest in real time on national television. I think the big takeaway is, when you have certified people and you have the proper equipment, like an

In particular, in the first quarter, I think we were down by 21 points there pretty quick.” After the Panthers opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal from Cole Murphy, Generals quarterback De’Andre Johnson showed off his dual-threat ability, finding running back Darius Victor on a screen pass for a 51-yard touchdown and rushing for

AED, present, minutes don’t matter — seconds matter.” Randy Gillary and his wife, Sue Gillary, whose daughter, Kimberly, died in 2000 during a Troy Athens water polo game at Birmingham Groves High School, created the charitable foundation in honor of their daughter, and they have since made a significant contribution to cardiac awareness within schools. After Kimberly’s passing, the Gillary family immediately began raising money toward AEDs to donate to schools, and they donated their first pair of AEDs to Troy Athens and Birmingham Groves high schools. Since then, the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation has raised more than $1.72 million, donated more than 850 AEDs to Michigan high schools, and drew up the original cardiac response draft for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Now that the majority of Michigan high schools carry at least one AED, the MHSAA and the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation are focused on one particular objective. “What my goal is, I want every school to be a MI HEARTSafe School, which the cardiac emergency response plan and cardiac

METRO DETROIT HEALTH CARE OFFICIALS RESPOND TO NATIONWIDE EMPLOYEE SHORTAGE ‘THERE’S A LARGE DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES WILLING TO INVEST THE TIME AND MONEY IT TAKES TO GO TO COLLEGE’ BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI blosinski@candgnews.com

S

tatistics across the country are showing a decreasing number of professionals in the health care field, particularly among nurses and general practitioner physicians. This shortage has some worried that patient care is being negatively affected and that those working in health care are getting stretched thin, even now that the pandemic is over. “It’s really important to address this problem because, when you have nursing shortages, you have high stress and burnout among nurses,” said professor Suha Kridli, the interim chair of the Oakland University nursing program. “This leads to higher turnover, which leads to even fewer nurses. This all affects patient care. As a patient, you want a nurse that has a healthy workload so they are able to deliver quality patient care.” Data from the Pew Research Center show that hospitals lost

2.47% of their workforce in 2022 and that hospital turnover increased by 6.4%. The Michigan Health and Hospital Association performed a survey in March 2023 consisting of 95% of the MHHA’s membership that noted there were more than 27,000 current job openings, including nearly 8,500 open nursing positions. “Staffing shortages continue to impact Michigan hospitals and health systems throughout the state, in both clinical and nonclinical positions, ranging from physicians and nurses to food service and environmental service workers,” said MHHA CEO Brian Peters. “Hospitals and health systems remain committed to solving this crisis and are investing in innovative programs to address and improve the supply of health care workers through education partnerships, offering employees opportunities for higher education and increasing workplace flexibilities.” Dr. Paolo Marciano, the chief medical officer at Corewell Health in southeast Michigan, confirmed that virtually everyone See SHORTAGE on page 26A

Macomb County’s Adult Day Center: Providing Relief For Caregivers According to Cote, the Adult Day program includes transportation to and from the center, meals, snacks, engaging activities, exercise, health monitoring, medication management, personal care and socialization. The program’s small 1-to-3 ratio — one certified nursing assistant to three participants — results in more personalized attention, higher quality care, improved safety and increased satisfaction overall. “Macomb County is committed to providing innovative programs and services that ensure a high quality of life for all of our residents,” said County Executive Mark Hackel. “Our Goldenberry facility with its first-of-its-kind Montessori accreditation shows that commitment in action. We have an incredible team there and I know that they care deeply about the people they serve. So I hope you’ll join us for this open house and consider Goldenberry as an option for your loved one.” “We look forward to having caregivers come and visit our program to see if it would work for their loved ones so they don’t have to struggle at home and can get a break,” Cote said. “I know firsthand how stressful and difficult it can be at times because I did it myself for a while with my father.” Macomb County’s Adult Day program is located at 21885 Dunham Road (Entrance B) in Clinton Township.

Caring for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s can be an incredibly challenging and emotionally taxing experience. As a result, caregivers often neglect their own self-care while taking take care of their loved ones. To better support and reach out to Macomb County resident caregivers facing such hardships, Macomb Senior Services is hosting an open house at its Adult Day Center from 4 to 6 p.m. on Thursday, June 1, 2023. The event will give attendees an up-close look at the program’s extensive services, which were thoughtfully designed with both caregivers and their senior loved ones in mind. “We offer caregivers a sense of peace and comfort in knowing that while they’re taking care of their own needs, such as grocery shopping or attending doctors’ appointments, their loved one is getting good quality care in their absence,” said Sheila Cote, director, Office of Senior Services at Macomb County. “Our Adult Day Center is the first and only program of its kind in the country that is Montessori Inspired Lifestyle® accredited. Many nursing facilities offer adult day programs but none of them use the Montessori approach, so we are really a trendsetter.” At the heart of the Montessori approach lies an emphasis on showing deep respect for seniors by giving them a voice, focusing on their strengths, abilities and interests — and empowering them to be as independent as possible by supporting their choices.

drive capped off by a pass to wide receiver Trey Quinn for a 28-yard touchdown to pull within 11 points. From there, the Panthers offense stalled as Love, who played college football at San Jose State University, took over in the second half again, tallying only a 30-yard field goal in the loss as the offense totaled 265 total yards. “I think they obviously had a good game plan coming in against us, but we just can’t shoot ourselves in the foot,” Love said. “We got to go out there and do our jobs. We need to go out there with whatever play call we have and compete and get the job done.” For a photo The Panthers made it interesting as the Murphy field goal pulled the team within eight of the Generals late in the third, and a fumble gallery, visit recovery by the Panthers made it seem like all momentum had swayed candgnews. in their favor. com/com That was until a pair of penalties had the Panthers staring down a third and 20 at midfield, and to Love’s credit, he went for the first down before being picked off by Generals defensive back D.J. Daniel. One play later, Johnson connected with wide receiver Alonzo Moore on the right sideline for a 72-yard touchdown pass after a double move by Moore left him with nothing but daylight. “When we punted, obviously it was still an 8-point game, but the double move on the outside for the long pass, and that’s when they went up by 13, that’s when I thought the game changed,” Nolan said. “There was probably still a half a quarter left at that time, but I really thought, prior to that play, that we were in it.” The Generals jumped over the Panthers in the division standings with the win, improving to 2-1 on the year and moving into first place in the North Division.

burned on the project, and they don’t want that to happen again. “This purchaser, I can tell you, is so far in my conversations with him, for what that’s worth, is wanting to move and move fast,” Lent said. “So, he wants to get this process started, hence why he would like this to be put through to council.” Councilman Ronald Frederick asked if they could include the language in the motion at the table, and Ihrie said if the motion passed, he could go in his emails and find everything. Mayor Kip Walby said he appreciates the idea of trying to move it forward and that they have passed things in the past that needed a word or two, but changing a substantial line at the meeting wouldn’t be prudent. “We’ve waited a long time, I think, and I know we want to move forward, but I think two more weeks is what we should wait for to make sure that we have everything done,” Walby said.

MCC receives $4.7 million for programs

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College recently was awarded $4.7 million from Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation as part of its work through the Detroit Regional Chamber’s Detroit Drives Degrees Community College Collaborative. The funding is part of more than $30 million committed by Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation to provide support for the next three years to the D3C3 initiative. The initiative is a partnership with seven Southeast Michigan community colleges designed to ensure individuals have equitable educational opportunities and graduate with high-value credentials or degrees that lead to good-paying, in-demand jobs with local employers. “D3C3 is about transforming our talent pipeline through innovative partnerships with local community colleges that are uniquely positioned to help students enter the workforce with the qualifications employers need,” Sandy K. Baruah, president and chief executive officer of the chamber, said in a prepared statement. “Ballmer Group and the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation’s generous support speaks to the value of this initiative and importance of collaborative and job-focused education that will benefit employers, families and the region.” Macomb’s work through the collaborative is focused on student success and expands a pilot program of student success coaches in which students not only increase their grade point averages but persist in progressing through their course of study. Pictured from left are David Egner, president and chief executive officer of the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Foundation; Macomb President James O.

He said what could happen with that money is using it for an unbudgeted project. What isn’t used will go into the fund balance to use for one-time expenses. Expenditures included the typical things, Greene said, with the largest ones being the roads. The two biggest general projects will be at Kyte Monroe and the library. At Kyte Monroe, Greene said, they had $300,000 in their budget for a grant to redo the lighting. They received a congressional grant in the amount of $1.5 million for library renovations, Greene said. The library is an account they are watching carefully over the next few years because it is digging into the fund balance a little bit, Greene said. “We’re going to track to see how we can better control their expenses and maybe adjust their revenue some so we can still make sure we can have a thriving library for our city,” Greene said. Greene said the court’s budgets are normal. The Police Department is doing typical vehicle replacement and they have regular staffing. Greene said the biggest thing that might affect the police budget is the use of American Rescue Plan Act funds to redo their building. “Over this next year, we’re hoping to kind of finalize that plan to get that rolling so that might adjust their budget some,” Greene said. “But at the moment, it has not because we don’t know what the final plan is.” The Fire Department is the same, with regular staffing, and they are going to allocate some of the ARPA funds to redo their building. Greene said that’s going to be a discussion down the road. He also said they have additional safety equipment in their budget as well as a new vehicle. It takes a long process to customize a fire truck, Greene said, which is why it is go-

ing to take a long time to get a new one. “Since fire vehicles are so specialized, either an ambulance or an actual apparatus, they are essentially custom built every time you order one,” Greene said. “As soon as you place the order, you get put on the list.” The Community Development Department’s budget is up a little bit due to inflation, but Greene still expects them to do well. The Department of Public Works, utility, motor pool and streets is one of the biggest expenses due to streets being in there, Greene said. “This is probably our biggest change to our budget as we kind of, specifically motor pool, as we kind of just did some internal accounting to how we track expenses,” Greene said. “But other than that, they should be straightforward.” In the Parks and Recreation Department, everything is normal as well but they adjusted their funds a little bit. “For example, we took (the) pool and one other account out of their own funds and threw them into the general fund and we left golf in its own little enterprise fund,” Greene said. “But other than that, they’re going to keep on moving forward with their programming as they have in the past.” The budget is set as if the city is fully staffed, so there are no concerns if a department is not fully staffed at the moment. “So, in the event we do have full staff on board then we have no worry for the budget,” Greene said. Mayor Kip Walby said nothing was approved at the hearing and the budget will be approved at a City Council meeting tentatively set in June. Councilman Ronald Frederick said Interim Finance Director and Treasurer Renae Warnke and City Manager Dustin Lent did a great job with the budget. “We’re glad that it’s balanced. That’s the big thing,” Frederick said. Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

reelection, and barring a write-in effort, it will remain uncontested, with Mayor Kip Walby the only candidate to file by the deadline. “It’s wonderful,” Walby said. “We’ve got a lot of projects that we need to complete, and I’d like to see them completed.” There will be no primary in August and only a general election in November.

The candidates

Bertges, 59, is the vice president of B-AS Security Systems, which she owns with her husband, and is a co-owner of Bliss Nutrition in Clinton Township. If elected, she said in an email she intends to work with the council to make St. Clair Shores a role model for other cities. “I’d like to help build on the foundation we have as a desirable destination for homeowners and businesses and continue to focus on social, economic and environmental plans to make St. Clair Shores the best city it can be today and for future generations,” Bertges said in an email. Crook, 40, is a realtor and the owner of a disaster relocation business. If elected, she said in an email she plans to protect property owners’ rights and assets; clarify ordinances; continue addressing environmental issues; establish a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Committee; and much more. “As the founder of Saint Clair Shores Residents for Equality, I have heard the concerns of citizens that have not been remedied,” Crook said. “I have witnessed division in the last 5 years that seems out of place in this beautiful city. It is important that our community comes together for continued progress.” Frederick, 68, is an incumbent and has been on the City Council since 2004. He has a career in national advertising. If elected again, he said in an email his plans for St. Clair Shores include renovations and updates for public services. “Library renovations, police and fire station updates, continue adding new and upgraded playground equipment to our parks, attract young families and protect our senior programs,” Frederick said in an email. “Protect Lake St. Clair. Help our service and volunteer groups to continue their important contributions to St. Clair Shores life!” Heck, 54, retired from the Southeast Macomb Sanitary District and currently works as a seasonal employee for the city of St. Clair Shores as a gate guard at Blossom Heath Park and the 9 Mile boat ramp.

If elected, he said in an email he wants to keep the city moving forward. “My plan is to keep moving the City in the right direction but also not neglecting the assets the city already has,” Heck said in an email. Owens, 45, is an audioprosthologist and owner of Shores Hearing Center. Owens said in an email that, if elected, he wants to continue the separation of the storm and sanitary sewer lines, address residential and city blight, improve communication between the city and residents, and maintain the business community. “It’s so important to shop local. Because the business owners of this city are also our neighbors,” Owens said in the email. Vitale, 50, is an incumbent and has been on the City Council since 2011. He said in an email he is currently a prototype mechanic at the Chrysler Technology Center. If elected again, he said in an email he wanted to stay on budget and keep the city “trending in the right direction for what will be challenging times ahead.” “Specifically, I’d like to continue on our Fire Station Subcommittee, advocating for decontamination showers and other improvements,” Vitale said. “I would like to propose language for home office space within accessory structures, to keep us competitive with new-build suburbs.” Call Staff Writer Alyssa Ochss at (586) 498-1103.

coordinating most of the vendors anyway. “We’re just happy for it to be back,” Wendecker said. “It’s going to be the same successful show it’s always been.” The festival couldn’t be held last year because the GPYC marina was undergoing renovations. This year, attendees will get to see the redone marina as they browse among some 75 vendors — including at least one canoe company. Boats up to 60 feet in length will be displayed on land and in the water. In addition, there will be an art fair, music by the band Circle City Steel, lawn games, cocktails and food served by Flavors Food Truck. Although there’s no admission cost, attendees will need to bring money or some other form of payment if they want to get food or beverages. “There’s all kinds of things to see,” Wendecker said. “It’s a great atmosphere.” She said the event has typically attracted around 4,000 visitors over the weekend. Parking at the GPYC costs $20 per vehicle, but attendees can park for free and take a complimentary shuttle from nearby Parcells Middle School, 20600 Mack Ave. in Grosse Pointe Woods (at the intersection of Mack and Vernier Road). Wendecker said two shuttles will be running continuously throughout the festival. Get a sneak peek at the show during the Summer Breeze Kick-off Party May 19. The party is a fundraiser for the Grosse Pointe Youth Nautical Foundation, which awards scholarships to high school graduates who are sailors, supports school sailing programs and provides grants to young sailors who need to travel for national competitive events. “Come out and see beautiful boats,” Wendecker said. “It’s just going to be a fun, familyfriendly event. It’s the unofficial kickoff to summer.” The event coincides with National Safe Boating Week, which runs May 20 to May 26.

I’m quite satisfied with our progress.” The parade so far has 150 entrants, Ellis said, and they are still taking applications even though the May 1 deadline has already passed. They can email parade@scsmi.net. “Over a third of those groups are brand new to the parade,” Ellis said. “People that say it’s the same parade every year; it’s absolutely not. We’ve got a bunch of new things in the parade.” Ellis also said they have around 20 different musical groups including high school bands and a fife and drum corps. This year there were 560 attendees at the spaghetti dinner on April 27, Ellis said, raising a couple thousand dollars. The grand marshal for the parade is Robert Haffner. According to notes

Along with a lot of military entries, something the committee prides itself on, Rubello said they’re also going to have some futuristic guests from Los Angeles attending the parade. “The streets of St. Clair Shores are going to be shaking when we come through there,” Rubello said.

I’M A BABY, NOT A TOOTH! I’m a baby, not a tooth! A little baby sucking my thumb while being lulled to sleep by the sound of my mother’s heartbeat. I’m not a part of her body, not a tooth to be pulled out, or a fingernail to be cut off. I have my own DNA, my own heartbeat, my very own fingerprints, my own soul pleasing to God because I am innocent and have never sinned. Below is a true story of Kayla and her mother, Pam. (Names have been changed for privacy.) Pam was 16 years old and very much in love with her boyfriend, Jake. She became pregnant. She wanted her baby. Jake, 17 years old, did not. He insisted she have an abortion and he would pay for it. She refused. Her parents insisted “she get rid of it.” She refused. His parents insisted that she get an abortion. She continued to refuse. She knew this was a baby - her baby. She chose Life. She visited a prolife crisis pregnancy center referred to her by a girlfriend. They provided financial and material aid for her and gave her the encouragement and support she so desperately needed to save her baby. She had a beautiful baby girl whom Pam named Kayla. Guess what? When Jake saw his baby girl, he wanted custody. So did his parents and her parents. When she was born and they could see little Kayla, they all fell in love with her. Pam was awarded custody as was only right. Family members did work things out among themselves and Pam has a lot of babysitters. Jake realized how wrong he was. Pam is doing fine, getting on with her life, completing her education, and loves little Kayla who is the joy of her life. Let us work and pray for an end to abortion, if not through law then by changes of minds and hearts so that like Jake, and like Kayla’s grandparents, everyone will come to realize that the baby in her womb is not part of the mother’s body to be killed at will; not a tooth, not a fingernail, but an adorable baby girl or boy.

GOLDIE, SHAWN

Shawn Goldie, age 51, of Saint Clair Shores, Michigan passed away peacefully on April 28, 2023, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma multiforme. Shawn was born to Donald (d. 2015) and Virginia Goldie on July 30, 1971, in Warren, Michigan. Cherished husband of Andrea for 22 years, loving father to Nicholas and Jenna Rose, and beloved brother to Scott. Shawn graduated from Sterling Heights High School in 1989. He earned associate degrees in Fire Science and Paramedic Science from Macomb Community College. Shawn fulfilled his lifelong dream of becoming a professional firefighter on April 28, 1997, when he joined the Saint Clair Shores Fire Department. Shawn went on to have a successful and rewarding career as a Paramedic/Firefighter, earning many certifications, and rising to the rank of Battalion Chief, the position he held until his retirement on April 28, 2022. Although he retired from Saint Clair Shores, he was not ready to “hang up his boots” and joined the Oxford Fire Department on May 2, 2022, where he remained employed until his death. Watching his son, Nick, play hockey and spending time with his daughter, Jenna, were his favorite passions. He was an avid golfer and enjoyed life’s simple pleasures; being with family and friends, having his dogs, TJ and Cocoa, by his side and on his lap, and spending mornings in the backyard having coffee with his wife, Andrea, talking about anything and everything, and making plans for their future. Shawn touched many lives, and his death will leave a large empty space in many hearts. He will be missed beyond measure. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Shawn’s memory to: 1.

CRIME WATCH Burglary reported on 12 MIle Road

At 11:30 a.m. on April 20, a burglary report was made after an incident the same day in the 22000 block of 12 Mile Road. Upon arrival at the scene, an officer spoke to the victim, a 45-year-old man, who said his lawn equipment was stolen sometime overnight. He said the equipment was being held in the lawn shed on his apartment complex grounds and owned by the property owner. The shed’s padlock system was reportedly pried open and damaged to where it was no longer usable. The suspect allegedly stole two Echo brand lawn tools and nothing else. The officer scanned the shed for evidence but found nothing. There were no cameras on the property. The property owner, who was out of town, was notified about the case.

Larceny reported on California

At 9:11 a.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened between April 22 and April 23 in the 22000 block of California Street. An officer received a report of a stolen license plate and upon arrival at the location saw a red vehicle with no license plate. The officer spoke with the victim, a 34-year-old man, who said he parked his truck in his driveway on April 22 at approximately 10 p.m. He reportedly saw that his license plate was missing on April 23 at approximately 9 a.m. The officer asked him if he was able to review his Ring camera and he said he checked and it doesn’t show anything.

Bike reported stolen at 12 Mile and Harper

At 4:14 p.m. on April 23, a report was made about a larceny that happened the same day at 12 Mile Road and Harper Avenue. Dispatch advised two officers an unknown man had stolen a bicycle. After an officer checked the surrounding area, they spoke to the victim, a 33-year-old woman, at a business who said that she and her daughter were shopping when they noticed their bicycle was gone. A witness, a 42-year-old woman, said as she was pulling into the business, she almost hit a man riding a bicycle around the side of the building.

At 11:49 a.m. on April 26, a report was made about a larceny that happened between April 23 and April 25 in the 31000 block of Harper Avenue. Upon arrival, an officer met with the victim and owner of the business, a 50-yearold woman, who said she accidentally left her white sign frame outside of her business on Sunday around 6 p.m. The frame has a slide mechanism on it to put a personalized sign inside. She said she came to the store on Tuesday to do a few things and realized the sign was missing. The business is closed on Monday and Tuesday. The sign is registered with the city and she had to buy a new one. — Alyssa Ochss

Shortage from page 14A

in the health care field is seeing staffing shortages. “We are proud of the recruitment and retention efforts we have in place at Corewell Health in southeastern Michigan to combat the looming national physician shortage,” he said in an email. “Our continued retention of medical students, residents and fellows at Corewell Health is critically important to our success. Additionally, we are expanding existing Graduate Medical Education training programs to serve as a pipeline for much-needed specialties. We are working hard to align physician expertise with the needs of the communities we serve.” Melanie Stosik, McLaren Health Care’s director of provider recruitment, stressed that this is an issue that most in the health care field are dealing with and said that the Detroit area remains an attractive region for employees. “Though the current and forecasted physician shortage is affecting other regions of Michigan, and efforts are focused in those areas, metro Detroit remains a prominent and favorable market to practice medicine, attracting many physicians and limiting the current risk of a shortage,” she said in an email. “For several reasons, metro Detroit has long been a popular region for physicians to practice and establish their careers. Robust graduate medical education programs at our McLaren Macomb and McLaren Oakland hospitals provide those organizations with direct access to residents and fellows

to discuss and offer career opportunities with their respective medical staffs.” Kridli said that, while there are likely several factors causing this problem, one of the key factors — particularly in the nursing field — is that there are not enough students entering the field to replace those who are retiring. “It’s not one factor. There is an aging population of nurses. We were not prepared for so many nurses to retire at around the same time. … COVID is part of the retiring trend, in that people reflected on their lives and career choices and were just burned out, but it’s more about not having enough graduating nurses to replace them in the workforce,” she said. “The number of students going into nursing as a career is not sufficient to keep up with the number of those retiring. There is a large decline in the number of high school graduates willing to invest the time and money it takes to go to college. In addition, there is a significant decline in the number of high school students enrolling in college directly after they finish high school. Recently published data indicated that only 54% of 2021 high school grads in Michigan went straight to college. … There is also public skepticism about the value of a college degree. People are now questioning if a degree is worth the cost.” This is not a local problem. “It’s nationwide. Just this morning, I received a press release from the American Association of Colleges of Nursing. It said that the number of students in entry-level baccalaureate nursing programs decreased by 1.4% last year. This translates to a drop of 3,519 fewer students from the 2021 and 2022 school year. The decline in student enrollment isn’t just

at the entry-level baccalaureate; we are seeing it at all levels,” said Kridli. “Nationwide, at the master’s level, enrollment dropped 9.4%. This is close to 14,000 nursing students. At the Ph.D. level, enrollment dropped by 4.1% (183 nursing students). This translates to a decline in the number of nursing faculty and advanced practice nurses, which means that there are fewer educators to educate and train future nurses.” Solutions to the issue will likely take time and include growing the number of those entering the health care field from the ground up. “In my role as an interim dean, I meet with representatives from different health care systems and hospitals. We frequently discuss potential solutions. We think collaboratively and innovatively,” said Kridli. “For example, we recently developed an agreement with Corewell Health, The Corewell Health Nurse Scholars Program, which is a grant from Corewell Health for $20.7 million to increase the number of students in our pre-licensure baccalaureate program. Through our Corewell Health Nurse Scholars Program, nursing students can receive up to $20,000 per recipient of grant funding. This funding is available to Accelerated Second-Degree BSN or Basic BSN students admitted to our School of Nursing. The students would have to commit to work for Corewell Health for two years upon graduation. … We also recently got approved by the Michigan Board of Nursing to expand our program. … We can now accept 99 additional students per year.” Call Staff Writer Brendan Losinski at (586) 498-1068.

Cardiac from page 12A

The MI HEARTSafe School program, which is supported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, was not only designed to raise awareness and help schools prepare for sudden cardiac arrests, but also recognize schools who have met certain criteria to become a MI HEARTSafe School. In order to be part of the program, schools must have a written cardiac response plan, a certain percentage of staff and coaches having completed the CPR/AED training, one cardiac response drill per year, a cardiac response team, a sufficient number of routinely inspected AEDs and identified AED locations, and athletic group screenings that are in conjunction with the Michigan high school screening form. While schools continue to join the program, Uyl said he hopes more schools take part in the program. “(There’s) not enough,” Uyl said. “Of our 748 member high schools, the number right now is a little less than 200. Obviously, the Michigan HEARTSafe schools, those are elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. Most of our attention is at the high school level, and that’s part of our reason for

being at the table is that we want to see those numbers go up. There’s still work to be done. I’m never going to be satisfied because this is an area that, until you have every school that is a part of the program, that’s just not good enough.” As efforts continue to be made to not only raise awareness, but work together with schools across Michigan to make sure another young life isn’t lost, the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation’s donations of AEDs have already been used to save at least nine lives. In 2021, Evart High School’s Danny Witbeck suffered a cardiac arrest during a basketball practice, but a quick response from coaches and teammates to grab an AED helped save his life. Today, Witbeck plays baseball at Northwood University. That’s what cardiac awareness month is all about, and that’s what keeps the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation and the MHSAA going with their efforts. “The best parts of our meetings, when we meet here, is when we get to hear the stories — from a person involved — of another cardiac save from the action plan or AED used, and that’s really what keeps our work going,” Uyl said. To learn more about how to become a MI HEARTSafe School, visit migrc.org for more details.

Bleeding man taken to hospital

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a gas station in the 39000 block of Van Dyke Avenue April 9 after hearing that someone was being disorderly.
