Voters approve Fraser Schools bond measure

BY BRENDAN LOSINSKI

blosinski@candgnews.com

A bond approved by voters on May 2 will allow Fraser Public Schools to implement improvements and upgrades to its infrastructure and facilities, including its aging parking lots.

FRASER — Fraser voters went to the polls on May 2 and chose to approve the lone issue on the ballot: a bond measure from Fraser Public Schools.

The bond measure was approved with 2,249 voters casting ballots in support of the bond and 1,394 voting against it. This was a margin of 61.7% to 38.3% of voters.

“We’re thrilled about the fact that the bond passed,” said Superintendent Carrie Wozniak. “It is a sign that our community supports the schools. You know how much they value the work that our staff does every single day.”

“I’m thankful to live in a community that cares about its schools.

There were several bond measures this year in Macomb County from various school districts and voters

Clinton Township MaY tHe fOuRtH wAs wItH tHeM board supports liquor license for grocer

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — The Clinton Township Board of Trustees went the extra mile to support a local grocer’s bid for a liquor license at its April 24 meeting.

Vince & Joe’s requested a Class C liquor license to allow the sale of alcoholic drinks for consumption at its Garfield Road location. As of the meeting, only four of the township’s 67 stateallotted Class C licenses remained up for grabs.

A Class C license would be put to use in support of recent renovations to the Gratiot Road store, according to documents submitted in support of the license effort. A pizza and sandwich counter have been installed near the bakery to allow shoppers to buy hot food while shopping, while seating arrangements by the counter and in the wine section provide shoppers with a place to eat the food. The drinks could be purchased from the counter as well as during planned monthly wine dinners. Another proposed use of the license is selling drinks during the company’s 40th anniversary celebration.

If approved at the state level, this would be Vince & Joe’s second Class C license. Seth Tompkins, attorney for Vince & Joe’s, said the grocer holds a license for its Shelby Township location. By going to the township for the new license, Vince & Joe’s will avoid paying for an existing license, which Tompkins valued around $65,000.

According to Township Supervisor Robert Cannon, the township normally supports licenses for new businesses “who need a break,” but nobody in the township hall was under the impression that Vince & Joe’s was an up-and-coming business in need of extra help.

“The purpose of this is to support this business that supports the community and supports so many families that live and work in this community,” Tompkins said. “It’s not going to make them a million dollars ... but it will generate more foot traffic, it will generate more revenue (and) it will generate more people coming

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 7A

Solutions may be required to combat the health care worker shortages and to increase the number of those studying and entering the field after high school.

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. For more information or to RSVP, call (586) 469-5580 or visit macombgov.org\seniors.

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.

in at different times during the day for different reasons.”

The established nature of Vince & Joe’s did not stop unanimous support from trustees, though Trustee Julie Matuzak expressed some concern.

“You guys are a great business, an established business — you get all of my business,” Matuzak said. “But that does bother me, that we’re giving up one of these licenses when I would hope we would be using them to attract new businesses and to keep developing this great place.”

Cannon said there is “no line” for the Class C licenses at the township and that Clerk Kim Meltzer does not give them out easily.

Contract awarded for Water Trail improvement study

On April 24, Township trustees voted to award Brighton-based ASTI Environmental a $72,000 contract to perform an environmental assessment and necessary studies in support of the Clinton River Water Trail project.

Required in order to receive U.S. De-

partment of Housing and Urban Development Community Project Funding Grant money for the project, ASTI will evaluate the proposed site for a new kayak launch at Budd Park and a new rest area at Canal Park, investigate the removal of a deteriorating building along the river, and explore removing “woody debris” from the river between Sterling Heights and Mount Clemens.

ASTI’s bid came in roughly $30,000 less than the second and only other bidder, Environmental Testing & Consulting Inc. Scott Chabot, of the consulting firm Anderson, Eckstein & Westrick Inc., attributed that to ASTI not using subcontractors for the work.

New fire vehicle bought

The Clinton Township Fire Department is getting a brand-new staff truck, as the board approved the nearly $46,700 purchase of a 2023 Ford F-150 SuperCrew truck specced to the Police Responder Package on April 24.

The truck itself came in under budget due to another government agency dropping its order for the truck, though a letter from Fire Chief Tim Duncan says the cost of retooling the lighting and graphics will stay within the budgeted amount.

Synergy SPT looks to ‘revolutionize’ training industry A strong business model includes using a name and logo to represent what the brand is all about, and nobody does it quite like Synergy Sports Performance Training.

The logo portrays a representation of the Vitruvian Man, once drawn by the great Leonardo da Vinci in 1490, as he holds a hockey and lacrosse stick with his hands.

The background is filled in with a baseball, football, soccer ball and basketball to form a perfect, symmetrical circle.

That’s what the Vitruvian Man is all about; the embodiment of perfection and harmony, and the work Synergy SPT has done reflects just that.

“I wanted to come up with a name that would combine all the sports together, and originally I had the logo designed as an atom,” said Adrian Holcomb, Synergy SPT’s managing partner and president of operations. “I kept looking online at names that worked around atoms, and synergy was a word that just kept popping up.”

Shortage from page 4A

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

GREEN MICHIGAN

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.”

Motor City Comic Con to appeal to multiple fandoms

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

NOVI — The 2023 spring Motor City Comic Con, scheduled to take place May 1921 at the Suburban Collection Showplace, 46100 Grand River Ave. in Novi, will have its largest array of celebrity guests and exhibitors to date, according to MC3 team member Samantha Yankee.

Motor City Comic Con is a biannual event, with conventions in the spring and fall, that is marketed as “Michigan’s largest and longest running comic book and pop culture convention,” having been established in 1989.

It is known for having a variety of celebrity and comic book guests, and numerous exhibitors.

According to MC3 team member Beth Burland, whose brother founded MC3, fans are very excited for this con, as the guest list — which features actors from television, movies and streaming platforms, along with comic book creators — has something for everybody.

Among the nearly 40 celebrity guests this year is Christopher Lloyd, who is best known for his role as Dr. Emmett “Doc” Brown in “Back to the Future.” Event attendees will be able to have a photo taken alongside Lloyd and a DeLorean replica for $199.

This will also be the first con where they give attention to the “Harry Potter” fandom, with the presence of Jason Isaacs, who portrayed Lucius Malfoy in the “Harry Potter” films. Other guests include Tony Danza, who is known for his roles on the TV sitcoms “Taxi” and “Who’s the Boss?”, and native Detroiters

David Ramsay, who is known for his role in “Arrow,” and Richard Karn, who played Al on “Home Improvement.”

For Trekkies, Commander William T. Riker and Lt. Commander Data, aka Jonathan Frakes and Brent Spiner, will be at the convention. “Doctor Who” fans can look forward to autographs and photos with Donna Noble, aka Catherine Tate. And for fans of “Mighty Morphin Power Rangers,” Red Ranger Steve Cardenas will be on hand.

This year’s show will include many voice actors such as Chris Martinet, who voiced Mario and Luigi in the “Super Mario” game series; and Tara Platt and Yuri Lowenthal, of “Naruto” fame.

Thirty-three comic guests will be making appearances, including Bob Camp, who is known for “The Ren and Stimpy Show.” Other comic guests include Donny Cates, Ryan Stegman, Darryl “DMC” McDaniels, Amy Chu and Peter J. Tomasi.

“We’ll often get comments from previous shows about (a fandom) feeling left out, but I feel like we covered all of our bases here with big names in all of the different fandoms,” said Yankee. “This year, our guest list is probably the best that we’ve had, at least in a very long time.”

She said that when selecting guests, they look at not only who is available, but also try to make sure that they have guests from different fandoms. Yankee said they always make sure they have someone from “Star Trek” and “Star Wars.”

showed a lot of support for them all,” added Fraser Principal Ruan Sines. “We’re grateful to the community for trusting us and (voicing) their support for education at the polls.”

Wozniak stressed that this will not mean a tax increase for anyone and that it simply gives the school district permission to take out a new bond to help fund upcoming projects and improvements in the district.

The bond will be repaid using the income already received by the district.

“The current tax rate will not be changed. The tax rate for the current bonds will just be extended,” she said. “We’re grateful for the community and the trust they put in us. This is the third bond I’ve been a part of. We’ve had a lot of success with these bonds and that means the community really values and believes in what we are doing. If you look through the county, I believe all of the bond proposals in school districts passed.

It shows that voters are really voicing their belief that we need to support education.”

She added that the funds made possible by the bond will go toward building repairs and improvements.

“It will benefit all of our buildings,” said Wozniak. “It’s obviously going to happen over the next few years. The work will include upgrading safety measures and building infrastructure like upgrading roofs, mechanical and electrical units. This is very important to maintain and sustain the high quality we have in all of our buildings. What makes Fraser special is we take pride in how our buildings look and it’s crucial that we leverage this bond in a way that will sustain this level of excellence in our buildings.”

Sines said that while most improvements from the bond won’t be flashy, all are necessary to ensure that students have a safe and well-equipped location to learn and grow.

“Security improvements, repairs and upgrades to infrastructure are all great things that will benefit students in the long run,” said Sines. “The new athletics support facility will probably be the most visible change for students at the high school. It will be an indoor room for groups like the wrestling team and cheer squad so they can have a space without having to drag equipment like mats around.”

name, which was Macomb Sports Academy, and before that, Hockey Sports Academy when the building opened in 2015, Synergy SPT has provided high-quality training to athletes of all sports, which wasn’t the case in the beginning.

Once a hockey-specific training facility, Synergy SPT, on the east side of Kelly Road north of 14 Mile Road in Clinton Township, has now prided itself on branching out to all sports and making it well known to the public that their full intentions were to take on athletes of all sports when Synergy SPT rebranded in November 2022.

“When we took over in November, we wanted to take it to the next step, so we kind of remodeled everything,” co-owner and head hockey trainer Matt Thomas said. “It’s been kind of a step-by-step process, and you don’t rewrite a brand overnight; you kind of chip away at it. That’s what it’s kind of been, and we’ve had a lot of support from the baseball facility (Macomb Batting Cages) next door.”

Thomas, who first joined the facility when it was Hockey Sports Academy in 2017, has continued to lead the charge alongside Kyle Lamont as one of the best training programs in the state for hockey.

Having their own synthetic ice rink inside the facility, Thomas and Lamont are able to work with young hockey players through

stick drills, passing and shooting mechanics on the ice while also taking them through the off-ice training. Off the ice, trainees are working on box jumps, broad jumps, sprint machines, other strength exercises and the Synergy SPT favorite, the skating treadmill.

Thomas is a certified personal trainer who played Division I hockey at John Carroll University and currently coaches the 2009 Saints Red and 2012 Saints White.

While having that on-ice atmosphere that sets them apart from most, Thomas said Synergy SPT’s personable staff is what really matters.

“One of my mentalities for training is I’ll just be your older brother,” Thomas said. “Yeah, I’ll be tough on you, but I’ll care about you. You got school questions or life questions? Yeah, I’ll answer them for you and be that older peer influence. I am who I am because of my older brothers, and I think every person would be better off with an older brother. Someone to look up to and ask questions that aren’t your parents.”

While Thomas and Lamont handle the hockey side of things, Brian Krusinski, the head strength and conditioning coach at Synergy SPT, has trained athletes of all sports including football, track and field, and baseball.

Krusinski, who joined the facility in 2018, charged the initial spark for the training center to base its operations outside the sport of hockey as well, coaching on both the Grosse Pointe North football and track and See SYNERGY on page 18A

Teachers from page 1A

“It’s all done at the building level with each staff selecting their preferred teachers of the year,” said Superintendent Carrie Wozniak. “The past teachers of the year always seem to take an active role in selecting who comes next.”

Wozniak said that while many factors contribute to being good at what they do, the thing they look most for in Fraser is the ability to connect with students.

“I think it’s hard to pick just one teacher,” she said. “We try to celebrate them all during Teacher Appreciation Week, but we see again and again that those selected for Teacher of the Year are those who make a connection with their students on a really deep level. Students will share how those teachers affected them and that makes this very special. You always get a sense from our selectees that it’s not just about them knowing their content well but that they are able to inspire students and make a difference with them.”

Elizabeth Schmidt was the elementary level selectee for this year. She teaches fifth grade English language arts and science at Edison Elementary School. She said being chosen was a huge honor.

“It is surreal,” Schmidt said. “I was really excited and proud to be recognized for all the hard work I’ve done over the last 23 years. It’s tough sometimes, but this is the job I was meant for. It makes everything worth it. I wouldn’t be where I am without all of the people I have to support me.”

To her, the key to being a good teacher is always striving to do better and go the extra mile.

“I am always looking to be better. I’ve been doing this a long time and I am always looking for ways to improve my classroom and help my fellow teachers, whether in their classrooms or as part of the union,” said

Schmidt. “I am in it for the long run.”

Schmidt added that she is glad to work in a school district like Fraser.

“I am so grateful to be in Fraser and have the support system that I have. Even though it sometimes feels like my work goes unnoticed, it is recognized in ways that I haven’t always realized,” she said. “I am a teacher in Fraser even though I don’t live in Fraser and I bring my kids to learn in Fraser through School(s) of Choice so I think that shows what kind of district I work in.”

Wendy Jo Murray was the middle school level winner and is the yearbook and technology teacher at Richards Middle School.

Murray did not respond to requests for comment prior to press time.

Leesa Wright was the high school level winner for 2023. She has taught French for three years at Fraser’s middle schools and at Fraser High School for 27 years following two years teaching in Warren Consolidated Schools. She also is a Fraser High School alumnus.

“I was born in Scotland and attended Fraser High School from the 10th to 12th grade,” said Wright. “I was very honored and surprised by being chosen for this. There are a lot of good teachers in our district so it was very nice to be singled out.”

She said to be a good teacher, someone needs to enjoy connecting with their students and have a love for what they are teaching.

“My passion for my students and subject. I always enjoyed teaching French and I love getting to share that with my students,” Wright said. “(You need) a level of engagement with the students. You need to meet them at the level they are at and then take them beyond that. Other than that, you need to love what you do and be passionate for your subject and for your students.”

Warren resident, Clinton Township students place in college contest

MACOMB COUNTY — Macomb Community College’s Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship recently hosted the student pitch contest “Macomb Innovates!

College Reimagined.”

The challenge addressed declining college enrollment, with students presenting ideas to reshape the face of the college experience. Three Macomb students competed in the college division, and six teams of two from Chippewa Valley High School and Dakota High School competed in the high school division.

Each competitor developed a 1-minute TikTok video prior to the competition to submit to the judges. The students pitched their ideas in front of a panel of judges, who graded them on the idea quality, whether the TikTok video was engaging and their professionalism.

The Chippewa Valley High School team of Mia Apone, 17, and Madi Stewart, 18, both of Clinton Township, took first place in the high school division with their concept for updated classrooms utilizing technology and natural light to make classrooms more engaging.

Toni Faust, 35, of Warren, won in the college division category. Her idea included having the college provide transportation to

The high schools also competed for the 2023 Macomb County Rising Stars trophy, which Chippewa Valley High School won.

All the high school students and the college division winner received a $500 award from the Macomb Community College Foundation to use at the college for tuition, fees and books. The high school competitors also took home individual Rising Star trophies designed by the college’s Media and Communications Arts program.

MCHD issues Lyme disease, tick warning MACOMB TOWNSHIP — As the days grow longer and summer draws closer, the Macomb County Health Department is issuing a warning to watch for ticks and Lyme disease.

Lyme disease is caused by bacteria and is spread through the bite of infected blacklegged ticks. The health department has determined that ticks with the bacteria are in Macomb County.

Ticks can attach to any part of the body but require 36-48 hours or more before Lyme disease can be transmitted. Ticks can be found by doing full-body checks after spending an extended amount of time outdoors. They should be removed with fine-tipped tweezers as close to the skin as possible, pulling upward.

Lyme disease symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue and usually a “bull’s-eye” skin rash.

DNR asks people to not prune oaks

A tree affected by oak wilt has lost its leaves from the crown down. Oak wilt can quickly kill trees in the red oak family. The fungus can be carried by beetles during the spring and summer.

STATEWIDE — As spring gives way to summer, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking people to let the state’s oak trees grow.

“Oak trees should not be pruned between April 15 and July 15. These pruning guidelines can help keep infection from spreading,” said Simeon Wright, forest health specialist in the DNR’s Forest Resources Division, in a statement. “Once a tree is infected, there is no cure.

Without expensive treatments, the disease spreads to other trees and may in time kill all nearby oaks.”

During the April to July period, beetles actively carry fungal spores from tree to tree, putting oak trees at high risk for oak wilt infection. Oak trees with wounds in their bark are susceptible to oak wilt, which can weaken white oaks and kill red oaks within a few weeks.

If a white oak or red oak near you is damaged during the period, the DNR recommends immediately covering all wounds with tree-wound paint or latexbased paint. Painting tree wounds is not recommended for other tree species, as it can reduce the effectiveness of the healing process.

58 species added to Michigan endangered list

MACOMB COUNTY — The annual U.S. Postal Carrier “Stamp Out Hunger” food drive will be held May 13.

Residents wishing to participate can leave nonperishable, unexpired food items in a bag near their mailboxes before their letter carriers arrive on Saturday.

From there, the postal carriers will pick up the food while delivering mail and bring it back to the post office where it will then be transported to a local food program.

GARFIELD ROAD EXTENSION WORK BEGINS MACOMB TOWNSHIP — The extension of Garfield Road from 22 Mile Road to 23 Mile Road in Macomb Township is anticipated to start May 1 and last through the end of September. Construction operations will take place within the Garfield Road right of way, but disruptions to traffic are anticipated in the vicinity of 22 Mile and Garfield Road. Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to seek alternate routes when possible.

Stamp out hunger May 13

STATEWIDE — A recent update to the Michigan Department of Natural Resources threatened and endangered plants and animals list sees 58 species added and 36 species removed, bringing the total number of threatened and endangered species to 407.

The list was updated with the help of experts from universities, the Michigan Natural Features Inventory, other conservation organizations and the Michigan Department of Natural Resources recommended changes to the list based on recent data. It was the seventh update to the list in 50 years.

“When people come together to collaborate on conservation, we can recover rare species,” said Jennifer Kleitch, a DNR endangered species specialist. “For instance, trumpeter swans were just removed from Michigan’s threatened and endangered species list. Their populations have grown as a Photo provided by Michigan DNR result of significant conservation efforts by many partners over decades.”

Three bat species — little brown, northern long-eared and tri-colored — have been listed as threatened due to significant population declines in the state resulting from white-nose syndrome. Rusty-patched bumblebees and American bumblebees were added to the endangered species list because, like many pollinator species, their populations are seeing large declines.

“Many threatened and endangered species rely on high-quality natural areas that benefit all of us by providing clean water, clean air and places for us to enjoy nature,” Kleitch said. “When species are struggling, it can indicate declines in the functioning of those natural areas, which in turn can impact our quality of life.”

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.

Comic Con from page 8A

doms and try to choose people that would fit into all of those,” said Burland. “Honestly, there are so many fandoms, I definitely couldn’t name all of them. But the big ones that we are hitting for this one is we’ve got three people from ‘Arrow,’ and we’ve got ‘Psych,’ we’ve got ‘Doctor Who,’ ‘Supernatural,’ and anime has really had a resurgence, so we have a lot more voice actors than we usually have. And the great thing about voice actors is they will cover by themselves so many different fandoms, because they’re voicing characters.”

Celebrity and comic guests will be signing autographs and taking photographs with attendees for additional fees. Photos must be purchased in advance through the MC3 website, but autographs can be purchased on-site. Attendees will also be able to participate in various discussion panels, view anime screenings in the anime room all weekend, and see and purchase merchandise from a vast array of artists, crafters, comic book stores and other vendors. One vendor, HoverMatters, makes custom hoverboards, which Yankee said is something attendees could purchase to have autographed by Lloyd.

New to MC3 this year is HADO AR, which combines sports and gaming to form the “world’s first techno sport and physical e-sport,”

according to a press release. The game is played in two teams of three, and according to Yankee and Burland, it goes relatively fast. Each game costs $6 per person, but attendees can also purchase a $15 weekend pass for the game. Players must be at least 10 years old to participate.

“It’s essentially like a dodgeball game, but instead of dodgeballs, you are using virtual powerballs,” said Yankee. “The cool thing about the augmented reality versus virtual reality is you still get to see everything around you, and because most of our attendees will dress up in cosplay, you are going to be battling against Darth Vader or some other character.”

On Saturday, May 20, guests who register in advance will compete in the annual cosplay contest for prizes such as MC3 fall passes, autographed photos, cash and other prizes. Sunday, May 21, is Kids Day, where all children under 12 will receive free admission to the con. There will also be a kids cosplay contest on that day.

The Kids Den area will be located in the Legacy Room on the second floor of the convention center during the entire Con. The Kids Den will offer activities and crafts geared toward children, such as making slime with Ghostbusters, storytime, drawing classes, balloon animals and more. This year, MC3 will be handing out not only an adult guide to the events and happenings, but a kids guide as well, which will feature an activity book and a scavenger hunt for the kids.

“It’s a place where they can go, and it’s

specifically geared towards the kids and a quiet area for parents to take them to give them the chance to unwind,” said Burland. “We try to get something for everybody, from the littlest ones to the oldest ones.”

Several trivia games will be offered throughout the weekend, geared toward some of the celebrity guests. This includes a “Back to the Future” trivia game, and a “Doctor Who” trivia game.

According to Yankee, the number of guests varies annually. She said it often depends on how much space they will be able to utilize at the convention center. She said they don’t always have the entire center. This year, they will be utilizing all 371,000 square feet of the Suburban Collection Showplace. She said that attendance is generally somewhere between 20,000 and 40, 000 fans.

“I started out as an exhibitor, and this was one of my favorite shows to go to, because somehow no matter how big it was — no matter how big the guests are — it always has that small-town feel. And I think that’s because it’s a family business. You have the same people that are running the show that were running it when it first started in 1989. So people recognize you.

They know you by name,” said Yankee.

She said it might be an overwhelming experience for first-time attendees, but there are a lot of people at the con who make it “a very friendly, loving and welcoming environment to be in.”

“Before I went to my first Con convention, I was worried that I wasn’t nerdy enough to go to it, that I’m not a fan of all the nerdy things so I might not fit in. But the people that come to these shows, they’re just so passionate, friendly and open that I highly recommend that everyone try it,” Yankee said.

MC3 attendees can expect to see people in costumes, but attendees are not expected to have costumes.

“It’s just a fun place to be, and (people) feel comfortable putting on their costume and coming in. There’s so many people that do it,” said Burland.

When people come they can expect to spend an entire day, said Burland. She said you can come for just a few hours, but most people enjoy spending the day. Yankee said that if you only spend a few hours, you will not see everything.

The event is so popular that the show’s exhibitor list is currently waitlisted. Yankee said they have doubled and almost tripled some of their categories. She said they are getting twice as many applicants as they have in previous years. According to Yankee, for Artist Alley alone, the waitlist is 200 to 300 artists long.

“So if people want to be part of our convention, they need to apply early,” Burland advised.

field staff, and holding extensive experience in baseball. Krusinski is a certified strength and condition specialist through the National Strength and Conditioning Association.

While a huge advocate for a fun and lively atmosphere for his students, Krusinski said there’s one major thing he focuses on with his groups.

“Communication,” Krusinski said. “I make the kids come in, and they don’t know each other in their groups, they look each other in the eye, shake hands and say hi. We just teach them how to communicate with one another, and if an athlete has been here for a while and knows the ropes a little more and when someone new comes in, I expect them to help out a little bit and be a peer and mentor to that kid.”

Communication and education are two ideologies that Synergy SPT strongly values in its facility, and it stretches outside of the building.

Championing Foster Kids: This Month’s Mission of Hope As “Foster Care Awareness Month,” May is a time to shine a light on the thousands of children in the foster care system across the state.

Champ Life is an all-volunteer nonprofit organization dedicated to making a difference in the lives of children who have faced abuse, abandonment, neglect, or are considered atrisk or in foster care.

The organization is celebrating its 20th anniversary of providing hope and healing to local children through impactful camps and clubs, including a weekly Kids Club in Clinton Township that hosts 50 to 80 children every Monday — with games, prizes, music, candy, snacks and fun faith lessons — and a free camp for foster kids each summer.

“These are our children and our communities; how can we just stand by without stepping in to make a difference?” said board member and activist Nathan Mayes, whose heartfelt mission is to encourage others to acknowledge and support this vulnerable segment of society.

“We hope to touch these kids’ hearts, help with healing and allow them to make good memories because a lot of these children don’t know their worth as human beings — or the possibilities that may exist for them in the future,” Mayes added.

He emphasized that as he and the other volunteers forge stronger connections with the children, their love and compassion deepens, fueling an even greater desire to make a difference in their lives.

“At first, the kids are guarded, but soon they crave love, hugs, and attention, and proudly share their drawings and crafts,” Mayes said. He recalls a girl at Kids Club wearing a hoodie and big glasses, barely visible. “I told her she was beautiful, just like God who made her in his image. Moments like these fill my heart with purpose and joy.”

The organization also orchestrates annual bike and gaming system giveaways, distributes backpacks during back-toschool season and arranges festive Christmas parties for

Through Krusinski’s program of Always Repping SPT, which includes drills based on speed and agility, strength and conditioning, and mobility and flexibility, the education behind training is a key component that Krusinski wants to get across to his students.

“When they come here, they’re going to learn not only how to work out, but maybe make it a lifestyle as they get older and carry it into training their friends,” Krusinski said. “I always tell my athletes no matter the age, show your friends the proper way and educate other people how to do it correctly. Just education, having a fun environment, and teaching it the right way.”

Now on a full-fledged scale of over 500 athletes, and almost 1,000 during the winter with its offseason baseball team training, it’s safe to say Synergy SPT has found its footing in the training world.

Holcomb said there’s still work to be done, but the youthful company has exceeded expectations since opening its doors, and it’s only going to improve from here.

“We’ve only been open for six months, so we’re just learning how to crawl,” Holcomb said. “When we get up and sprint, we’re going to revolutionize the industry.”

the children. Additionally, their volunteers carry out home visits to determine and cater to specific needs within local households.

In this milestone anniversary year, Champ Life is seeking donations to sustain their ongoing mission. With a goal of raising $200,000, they aim to secure the future of their potentially life-altering programs, especially the upcoming free summer camp for foster kids aged 7 to 11, scheduled for August 7-11, 2023.

“Our volunteers are actively out in the community looking for children who would want to come to camp,” Mayes added.

With about 100 kids and 100 volunteers, the camp ensures personalized attention in a loving atmosphere. Set by a lake, it offers activities like horseback riding, swimming, kayaking, water games, campfires and birthday celebrations for those who have never experienced them before.

Each child at the camp is paired with a devoted buddy, and together they engage in morning exercises, share familystyle meals, and learn vital life skills. With intimate mealtime gatherings of 10-12 people, the connections made are truly priceless, Mayes said.

“After a memorable week last year, we’ve expanded to accommodate more kids,” he continued. “It’s heartwarming to hear these kids express how wonderful it is to be at camp, surrounded by love and care and without worry for the first time in their lives.”

Children often arrive without essentials like toothbrushes or underwear, and Champ Life not only ensures they’re provided for but also gives them a sense of security and normalcy.

Champ Life is located at 31700 Couchez St. in Saint Clair Shores. If you’d like to make a difference in a child’s life (or donate), call (586) 791-3590 or visit mychamplife.com.

Summer Camp For Foster Children 0393-2319

Last fall, Clinton and Brian Lane opened up Bingo Pet Salon at 41740 Hayes Road, between 18 Mile and 19 Mile roads in Clinton Township.

With a staff of dedicated employees, Bingo Pet Salon offers grooming services for dogs in a spacious, clean and caring environment.

Bingo Pet Salon offers shampooing, conditioning, nail care, ear cleaning, gland checks, baths and full haircuts. All the groomers are professionally trained and work with each customer to ensure their pooches are receiving the best care. All dog breeds and sizes are welcome. “We recommend the dogs come in every six to eight weeks for maintenance. We try to take more of an approach to educate and help customers as well,” Brian Lane said.

“We talk about brushing and maintenance to keep their dog looking good between groomings.”

The pet owners don’t stay with the animals while they are being cared for, because it tends to make them anxious.

A grooming session usually takes three to four hours. However, if the poochie doesn’t need a haircut, then the appointment will take one to two hours.“Our priority is the comfort of the animal,” Brian Lane said. “Our goal is to get them comfortable.”

Bingo Pet Salon uses all-natural shampoos and conditioners. Natural shampoos bring benefits to the skin and coats of dogs and puppies, creating thicker, shinier and healthier hair. The shampoos are gentle so the natural oil of the pet’s fur is not stripped away.

Deshedding packages are available, as are whitening baths.

Another service includes foot scrubs for dogs with rough paws. Grooming appointments are scheduled ahead of time, and walk-ins also are welcome for nail trimming. To receive service, the animals all must be up on their immunizations.

The Clinton Township salon is open from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesdays through Saturdays.

As a business, Bingo Pet Salon also is community-oriented and has been known to support various events by donating gift cards for services.

For more information on the Clinton Township location, call (586) 690-7504 or visit www.bingopetsalon.com. The business also has a Facebook page.
