WOODS — The city of Grosse Pointe Woods will once again be honoring those who have served their country in the armed forces, and especially those who died while serving.

The 41st annual Memorial Day program will take place starting at 10 a.m. May 29 in the Veterans’ Memorial Parkway Circle of Honor, a large median on Vernier Road near Mack Avenue.

The event is open to anyone — not just Grosse Pointe Woods residents.

This year’s keynote speaker is Lt. Cmdr. Nicole Deem, of the U.S. Coast Guard, who is also a Woods resident. Grosse Pointe Woods Mayor Arthur Bryant — himself a veteran of the U.S. Navy — said Deem will be discussing women in the military. He said the city tries to have a theme each year for the keynote speech.

Deem is only the second female speaker in the history of the Woods remembrance, said Woods resident Suzanne Kent, who has been with the Woods Historical Commission for 41 years and has served as president, vice president and secretary. The Historical Commission organizes this event.

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

Early Cancer Detection Made Possible: Michigan’s First MRI Total Body Screening Clinic Now Open in Southfield, Pioneering Symptom-Free Diagnosis.

I’ll never forget the words of a patient who recently completed a total body cancer screening with me: ‘Doc, you saved my life!’

Despite having no symptoms, we discovered a tiny tumor lurking and growing inside of him. Without early detection, the mass could have silently grown into late-stage cancer, leading to excruciating treatments and a potentially dire outcome.

Thanks to the power of early detection, cancer was discovered before it was too late. It’s moments like these that are precisely why total body screening saves lives. As a general rule, when someone presents to the doctor with a symptom related to cancer, they are usually at stage III or stage IV. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screening tests that are covered by insurance companies only cover about 29% of cancers. The other 71% of cancers occur in areas where doctors are unable to screen, and insurance companies will not pay for screening. This is where Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield can save lives.

I am Dr. Warren Ringold, and last month marked the fifth anniversary of the day my life changed forever.

Five years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in my chest and

abdomen. The most alarming part is that I had no symptoms before this diagnosis. This is the great dilemma of cancer: the need for early detection.

Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and cancer needs to be detected when it is most treatable.

My personal stage IV cancer journey has been long and rugged.

My tumor eventually was recurrent in my brain after an initial seven months of chemotherapy. I have been extraordinarily lucky. After being told that I would live only two months without treatment on my brain, I was fortunate enough to become patient number one in a new drug study and I have been in remission 5 to 8 times longer than expected.

During that time, instead of ending up with the indignation of dying, from a brain tumor in front of my family with seizures and eventual blindness, I have been able to see twins, born as grandchildren, ball games, swim meets, graduations, while watching my grandchildren and children achieve.

Most importantly, I’ve gotten to hold my wife, Nancy, in my arms for more than 1500 more nights of my life.

I get to hug my children and kiss my 13 grandchildren. They don’t have to look at me with tears in their eyes, because

Dr. Warren Ringold, M.D. they see Papa deteriorating. What a gift that has been. But very few patients are as fortunate as I have been, which is why I founded Bionicc Body Screening.

At Bionicc Body Screening, we can screen for cancer from the top of the head through the genitals, detecting cancers as small as the size of a pencil eraser. We use highly advanced and sophisticated MRI screening, which can find small cancers in areas where doctors cannot order testing that will be covered by insurance.

The irony is that these cancers start out very small, and they are very treatable at this stage. They are usually stage one and can be seen in

every organ of the body, including the dreaded pancreas. While screening for cancer, we can also find many other things that need to be treated or watched, such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms.

If detected at this stage, treatment for stage one cancer is usually simple resection of a tumor. Unfortunately, if you are stage III or IV like most people, it results in vigorous and difficult treatment with much poorer outcomes.

It is unfortunate that some patients resist screening due to fear. Despite their desire to take the test, they unnecessarily delay it out of fear of receiving potentially distressing news about their health. Giving in to fear can only make matters worse and potentially allow undetected health problems to spiral out of control.

Don’t put off your screening any longer. Ask yourself, when is a better time to take action than right now?

Don’t wait another 6 months or even another day. Prioritize your health and get screened today.

The only regret patients have is that they waited. Don’t wait. Get a total body cancer screening today. Call 1-833-BIONICC (1-833-246-6422) today, or learn more now by visiting www.BioniccBodyScreening.com.

New townhome façade wins support of Grosse Pointe City Council

CITY — A revised façade for the eight new townhouses being constructed on the Notre Dame Street side of the former Grosse Pointe Public School System administration building at 389 St. Clair Avenue has passed muster with Grosse Pointe City officials.

A month after the Grosse Pointe City Council tabled approval in April for the townhome façades because officials felt the design was too modern and imposing, developer Brian Giles and his architects with Birmingham-based McIntosh Poris Associates came up with a revised design that officials believe is a better fit for the community.

The Grosse Pointe City Council voted unani-

SHORES — A veteran Grosse Pointe Shores Public Safety Department detective has closed his last case file.

Detective Lt. Scott Rohr, 53, retired May 3, exactly 27 years after he started working for the city. He’s believed to be the longest-serving detective in the Grosse Pointes, having started working with the Shores’ detective bureau circa 1998. Rohr has been the lead investigator in the Shores since about 2010.

In a small public safety department like the Shores, Rohr had multiple responsibilities, including serving as the EMS coordinator since 2001, the evidence technician, the juvenile officer, the gun rangemaster and the Local Area Security Officer, or LASO. In addition, he managed all the department’s investigations and prosecutions.

Rohr said being a detective “allowed me to expand my career opportunities and explore other areas of the position — investigations, field work, the challenges of paperwork, using different aspects of training. There’s a plethora of other responsibilities.”

Public Safety Director Kenneth Werenski worked with Rohr dur-

mously May 8 in favor of a conditional rezoning agreement amendment for the property. The conditional rezoning was initially approved in November 2021. The council approved a revised conditional rezoning agreement in October 2022 after Giles took over from the previous developer; the revised agreement reflected a new construction schedule because a new developer was involved.

The previous design featured eight gables — one over each townhome — which City Planner John Jackson, of McKenna Associates, said “we thought was a little austere” and not in keeping with the traditional architecture of the community.

The modified façade looks — and actually is — lower and more in scale with Grosse Pointe City, Jackson said.

was her husband, Randy, who died a couple of years ago.

“This is one of the reasons I do it, in their memory,” Kent said.

The Memorial Day service in the Woods started in 1983. Kent said they didn’t have an in-person event for 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. They film the ceremony each year and in 2020, Kent said, they streamed a previous Memorial Day service that featured Woods Mayor Robert Novitke — a veteran — as the keynote speaker. Novitke died in March 2021 at the age of 74.

Bryant said parking doesn’t seem to be a problem for Memorial Day observance attendees. Parking is available nearby on Vernier and along Mack, as well as in the A.H. Peters Funeral Home lot. Additional parking can be found at Parcells Middle School, at Vernier and Mack.

The service is an important reminder of the reason behind the Memorial Day holiday — a reason that has nothing to do with the barbecues, picnics and vacations many associate with it.

“I do think it’s important for people to come out and celebrate the participation of our neighbors and friends in service of their country,” Bryant said.

The event lasts roughly an hour, meaning that attendees still have plenty of time to enjoy other activities.

In the event of inclement weather, the service will be moved into the Parcells auditorium.

“The Memorial (Day) service that we put on here in Grosse Pointe Woods is very much a small-town ceremony,” Bryant said.

He said the city honors local people who have served in the military. Local participants are also involved, including Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops who raise the flag.

Bryant said the service typically draws more than 400 attendees.

“It’s usually very well attended,” Woods Historical Commission Chair Sean Murphy said. “We have a lot of volunteers who help out. … It’s a beautiful ceremony.”

While there are some chairs placed on the grounds, organizers recommend that attendees bring their own, if possible, as Bryant said the seats quickly fill up and many attendees wind up standing for this program.

Bringing a chair “guarantees them having a seat,” Bryant said.

Kent said the Swing Shift Orchestra will be performing this year. She encouraged attendees to arrive early, as the band also plays for 30 minutes before the program starts, from 9:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.

Murphy said the Swing Shift Orchestra is “a great band,” so attendees don’t want to miss its performance.

Kent, who prepares the flyers for this event, always includes a historical recipe, which is something people have come to look forward to. She also includes significant quotes.

Kent called the service “a wonderful community event” where attendees will see city officials and neighbors.

“It just fosters a sense of community,” Kent said. “And also, you don’t want people to forget” about the veterans who died serving their country.

Kent said the Historical Commission and the Beautification Commission started the event together, but at some point, it became the sole responsibility of the Historical Commission.

Kent said it’s her understanding that former Woods City Administrator Chester Peterson and Beautification Commission member Dr. Albert Howe, a dentist, were among those who launched the Woods Memorial Day ceremony because both had relatives who died in World War II. “I believe they started that ceremony to honor their relatives and anyone’s relatives (with military ties) in the city,” said Kent, who didn’t get involved with the Memorial Day program until a few years after it started.

As was the case for Peterson and Howe, for Kent, this event hits home. Her fatherin-law and late father were both veterans, as

CITY/PARK — Federal funding is making work on a portion of Cadieux Road possible for Grosse Pointe City and Grosse Pointe Park this year.

At an April 17 Grosse Pointe City Council meeting, Grosse Pointe City Manager Pete Dame announced that the City had gotten bids to resurface Cadieux Road between Kercheval and Jefferson avenues.

Cadieux divides Grosse Pointe City from Grosse Pointe Park. The Grosse Pointe City Council unanimously approved a low bid from Ajax Paving Industries Inc. — one of four bidders — to do the work for $754,488.88. The total cost of the project, with engineering, is $903,362, Dame said.

An award of Federal Surface Transportation Funds will pay for $613,922 of the construction costs, or more than 80%. The funding came through the Wayne County Federal Aid Committee.

Dame said the bids came in about 13% above the City engineers’ estimates.

“It’s still a great deal,” Dame said, noting that the federal match covers the majority of the costs.

“Sounds good,” Grosse Pointe City Councilman Christopher Walsh said.

Grosse Pointe City will pay about $242,575 to cover its portion of the project, while Grosse Pointe Park will pay $46,865.29.

As Grosse Pointe Park City Manager Nick Sizeland said during an April 24 Park City Council meeting, the Park collects Act 51 funding for the northern 55 feet of this stretch of Cadieux.

The arrangement of who is responsible for this border road is different from the arrangement Grosse Pointe City has with Grosse Pointe Farms for Fisher Road, another major street that separates two municipalities.

Dame explained in a memo to the Grosse Pointe City Council that, “unlike the See CADIEUX on page 17A

ing Rohr’s whole career.

“Just to call him a detective is an understatement,” Werenski said. “He wears a lot of hats, and therefore replacing him takes time.

We have to groom someone else to wear those hats and run this (division).”

Shores Municipal Court Clerk Sue Butkovich praised Rohr for his “high work ethic and integrity.” A former Shores Public Safety dispatcher, Butkovich has worked for the city for more than 30 years. She said Rohr has gotten multiple convictions over the course of his career, bringing those cases to a successful close.

“I’ve known Scott for a very long time,” Butkovich said. “I have a lot of respect for him. He’s extremely knowledgeable in the field. He’s very precise.”

She said Rohr had the ability to calmly defuse a tense situation and keep it from escalating.

“I’m going to miss him terribly,” Butkovich said of Rohr, who she said is “like a big brother” to her. “He was my go-to person if I had a problem with a case or a police report.”

She said all of those years of knowledge and experience will be missed by others in the department as well.

No one in Rohr’s family was in law enforcement. He grew up in East Detroit — now called Eastpointe — where his dad was a mechanic and his mother was a stayat-home mom.

Rohr holds a paramedic license from the state, is Firefighter I and Firefighter II certified, is an instructor coordinator for paramedics, and has a Bachelor of Arts degree in public safety from Sienna Heights University.

Rohr’s official first day with the department was on May 3, 1996, but he started working in the Shores even before that. Rohr spent about six years as a paramedic for Taylor Ambulance, and for the last couple of those years, he found himself stationed in Grosse Pointe Shores. This was before the Shores Public Safety Department was triple trained — with all officers either being emergency medical technicians or paramedics. Today, the city operates its own ambulance service for residents.

“As I was working as a paramedic here, I enjoyed the structure of the Public Safety (Department) and pursued that as a career based on that experience,” Rohr said.

He also found the tiny, close-knit community to be a special place to work.

“I enjoy working for the city,” Rohr said. “I enjoy our residents. I think we have some of the best residents anywhere. I think they care about the department, and in turn, the department cares about them.”

Rohr was promoted to sergeant circa December 2003 and ascended to the rank of lieutenant on Dec. 26, 2012.

One of the first cases Rohr ever worked on was one around the late 1990s involving cloned cellphones. At that time, he said cellphones operated by using a radio signal, not transmitting data digitally like they do know.

In addition, that was an era in which most cellphone plans charged users based on the number of minutes they were talking on the phone, so minutes were a valuable — and costly — commodity. Rohr said the suspects in this case were stealing the radio signal of legitimate cellphone subscribers and putting multiple phones on that radio signal, so the cloned phone users could make calls free of charge, while the victim ended up with a high bill for all those fraudulent minutes of usage.

A lot has changed since then — including the technology — but the objective for a detective remains the same.

“It’s always enjoyable to see a case through to fruition to see (a suspect) brought to justice after they’ve victimized a resident,” Rohr said. “That’s a rewarding part of the job.”

Rohr said he’ll miss the camaraderie with his co-workers.

Although Rohr is a licensed real estate broker and licensed lender — something he’s done in his spare time for years — he said he hopes to find a new position in law enforcement in the area. He didn’t have anything lined up at press time but would accept the right opportunity if it came along.

“I still feel a passion towards law enforcement,” Rohr said.

For now, Rohr plans to tackle projects around his Macomb Township home and anticipates traveling, tinkering with his 1967 Camaro and doing more adventure biking.

Rohr is the father of a 19-year-old son who’s heading to college soon. His wife is a teacher.

“We’ll miss him,” Werenski said. “His thumbprint was everywhere, in the way we conduct our investigations, in our policy and procedures. … A little piece of Scott Rohr will be here for a long time.”

GALA RAISES FUNDS FOR SCHOOL

The Liggett Knight gala and auction April 28 at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Shores raised nearly $500,000 for the school, whose campus is in Grosse Pointe Woods.

Funds from this year’s event will go toward energy efficiency, sustainability and beautification efforts at the school.

The fundraiser was co-chaired by Donna Gormely (pictured with her husband, Louis Gormely) and Savarior Moss-Service (pictured with her husband, Errol C. Service Sr.).

“We would like to express our thanks to our Liggett Knight co-chairs, Donna Gormely and Savarior Moss-Service, and to all of our volunteers whose leadership and hard work made Liggett Knight successful this year,” said Cressie Boggs, director of development and alumni relations, in a press release. “We are also grateful for our generous bidders, donors and sponsors, whose generosity made Liggett Knight 2023 an exceptionally rewarding event.”

Students to share their research with public

University Liggett School seniors will share their independent academic research projects in art, science, economics, film, sports, mental health, history and creative writing during Celebration of Research, an event open to the public from 7 to 9 p.m. May 30 to June 1.

“The program this year resembles that of a conference in which participants can choose a platform to learn about all sorts of interesting topics. Members of the community can enjoy a different experience each night,” Shernaz Minwalla, head of Upper School, said in a press release.

ULS is located at 1045 Cook Road in Grosse Pointe Woods. For more information, visit uls.org.

Nafeesah Symonette, of Grosse Pointe Woods, has been named by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer to the Michigan Arts and Culture Council. Symonette is the co-founder and network coordinator of arts education, advocacy and research for Detroit Excellence in Youth Arts at Connect Detroit and is an adjunct professor at Oakland University.

The Clinton Township-headquartered Michigan Schools and Government Credit Union recently announced the recipients of its 2023 scholarships, and that list included a couple of students attending high schools in the Grosse Pointes.

Winners of the Educational Solutions Scholarship included Ava Carr, of Grosse Pointe South High School, and Ian Gudenau, of University Liggett School. Educational Solutions Scholarships are given to high school seniors who will be attending a two- or four-year college or university.

“As an organization founded by teachers, we believe education is the foundation for success and provides individuals with the tools they need to reach career goals,” MSGCU President/CEO Steve Brewer said in a press release.

FUNDRAISER FOR EDUCATION FOUNDATION PLANNED

The Grosse Pointe Foundation for Public Education will hold its spring fundraiser at 6 p.m. June 1 at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club in Grosse Pointe Shores. The theme is Experience the Impact and will focus on what the foundation and its supporters have done for schools and students in the Grosse Pointe Public School System since 2006. At press time, the GPFPE had donated more than $4.1 million to the schools since its inception.

“Spring Benefit is an important part of our year. ... Not only does it give us a chance to celebrate and reflect with our amazing donor community, but it is also one of the most critical pieces of our fundraising,” GPFPE President Cynthia Sohn said in a press release. “This year’s theme — Experience the Impact — will be especially memorable because we are going to bring a few of our grant recipients to the event, allowing our guests to directly experience the difference the GPFPE makes in our school district.”

City applies for state funds for water, sewer infrastructure work

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

CITY — Like several of its neighbors, Grosse Pointe City is hoping to secure state funding for water and sewer infrastructure projects.

During a meeting April 17, the Grosse Pointe City Council voted unanimously in favor of applying to the state for money from the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund and the Clean Water State Revolving Fund.

City Engineer Stephen Pangori, of Anderson, Eckstein and Westrick Inc., said the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund, or DWSRF, is a low-interest loan offered through the Michigan Department of Environment and Great Lakes, or EGLE, with interest rates on a 20-year loan in the range of 2% to 2.5%. He said there is a chance for loan principal forgiveness through state or federal infrastructure dollars.

The City application is for a $7.5 million project that would primarily focus on lead water service replacement — which would account for nearly $6 million of the total. The City is required by the state to replace 5% of its known lead service lines annually over the next 20 years, Pangori said. The rest of the project would focus on water main replacement and looping, which would account for $1.67 million of the total.

Pangori said the project plan for the DWSRF needed to be submitted to the state

by June 1. The City won’t know until this fall whether it qualifies for funding, he said.

“The bad news is, it’s extremely competitive,” Pangori warned city officials.

He added that cities “that fall into the disadvantaged range get top priority” but said there are other considerations the state takes into account when determining who gets this funding. For example, while the city used to have relatively few water main breaks, Pangori said those have increased in recent years.

The cost to the average City user would be $112 over 20 years, but that assumes that the City would receive the loan, accept the funding and pay for it over a 20-year term. A longer payback term, such as 30 years, would also be possible.

“It’s a fixed cost, so it’s based on meter size,” explained City Finance Director/Treasurer Kimberly Kleinow. “It’s not based on (water or sewer) usage.”

City Manager Pete Dame recommended that City officials only agree to accept the funding if they could get principal forgiveness.

“The whole point in doing this application is hoping we get loan forgiveness,” Dame said of the Drinking Water State Revolving Fund application. “If we don’t get the grants, you should say no to the loan.”

As Dame pointed out, the City has 20 years to address the lead service line issue, and it might qualify for a grant to do this in the future.

The Clean Water State Revolving Fund, or CWSRF, is also offered through EGLE and also involves low-interest loans with interest rates at around 2% to 2.5%. The City’s application is for $32.69 million worth of sanitary and storm sewer rehabilitation, as identified through a sewer cleaning and televising project over the last 18 months. The costliest element of this project would be $28.25 million worth of sewer separation, including a region north of Waterloo Avenue between Grosse Pointe Boulevard and Fisher Road.

The cost to the average water/sewer user would be an estimated $424 per year over 20 years, if the city received and accepted the loan and used a 20-year payback period.

Pangori said the application deadline for this program was May 1.

As was the case with the DWSRF application, Dame said they were recommending that City leaders only accept the state funds if they can get principal forgiveness or grants. The city has also filed for a Federal Emergency Management Agency grant for this work; if approved, Dame said the FEMA grant would cover about 80% of the cost.

The city won’t find out until this fall whether it has qualified for FEMA or CWSRF funds, officials said.

Mack Ave.

CITY — Plants and arcade games might not seem to have much in common, but both have come together in a unique way in a pair of adjacent businesses on Mack Avenue in Grosse Pointe City.

Timothy Grand — whose wife, Pam Grand, owns Otherworld Plant Nursery — sought site plan approval for a new business at neighboring 17738 Mack Ave. called Mum’s Arcade. The Grosse Pointe City Council voted unanimously in favor of the request at a meeting April 17, although approval was subject to some conditions, including façade improvements.

Gage Belko, an associate planner with McKenna Associates, said Timothy Grand had been using 17738 Mack Ave. to repair, store and resell vintage arcade games over the last few years. During roughly the last year, though, Belko said the business had shifted into an arcade where visitors of Otherworld could play the games. They also began hosting events on the weekends by appointment only, as well as charity events and tournaments, Belko told the council. The small rental gathering space can accommodate up to 45 people on weekends and evenings.

The building at 17738 Mack Ave. was once a gift shop and it will retain some of that retail element in that Belko said Mum’s Arcade would include a store area for arcaderelated products. Both uses are deemed to be in keeping with what officials want for the Mack business corridor.

“We want to have a vibrant and pedestrian-oriented environment on Mack,” Belko said.

The arcade will generally be open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Mondays through Sun-

days during the nursery season, or by appointment. Later evening hours — until no later than midnight — would be for special events. Although most businesses in the city close at 10 p.m., the city’s planners felt allowing later hours for specific events would be appropriate.

Belko said they recommended upgrades to the façade to let more light in and make it more pedestrian friendly.

The owner wasn’t seeking a liquor license or a food service license, Belko said.

“So, there’s not going to be an issue with (business patrons) parking on residential streets?” City Councilman Seth Krupp asked.

Belko said they don’t see that as a problem.

“As far as parking goes, we find there is sufficient parking in the general area,” Belko said.

City Manager Pete Dame said that, in the evening, there is plenty of parking in that area along Mack, as many neighboring businesses are closed at that time.

The City’s business regulations specifically prohibit mechanical and electrical devices like pinball machines, slot machines and video games, Belko said. In speaking with the city attorney, he said they concluded that this ban isn’t needed and should be repealed.

Based on the recommendation of the city attorney and city planners, the council unanimously approved repealing the prohibition on mechanical and electrical amusement devices. Had this ban not been lifted, much of the activity at Mum’s Arcade would have been illegal under City code.

PLAN A RELAXING TRIP TO THE TRAVERSE WINE COAST

BY GREG TASKER olfers, sailors and outdoor enthusiasts have long flocked to the wooded hills and crystal-clear lakes around Traverse City, but in recent years, the Cherry Capital has increasingly become a hot spot for casual and even serious wine enthusiasts.

No wonder. Some 40 wineries surround this small, postcard-pretty town, which sits at the base of two peninsulas, each designated as its own distinctive grape-growing region. These wineries on the Leelanau and Old Mission peninsulas are a huge part of the tourism scene in Traverse City, especially in the summer and fall.

What makes this region so special in the vast world of wine? Location. The moderating waters of Lake Michigan and Grand Traverse Bay enable winemakers here to grow familiar European grapes, including chardonnay, riesling, pinot noir, cabernet franc and others. The warm waters protect against late spring and early fall frosts.

Also worth noting is that the region lies along the 45th parallel, the same latitude as famous wine areas such as the Piedmont region of Italy and the Rhone Valley and Bordeaux in France.

Traverse City makes for an easy weekend visit from metro Detroit. To make the most of a visit to the Traverse Wine Coast, as the region has dubbed itself to the wine

G

world, it’s best to do some planning. Hours and tasting procedures vary from winery to winery.

Designated trails on each peninsula can help navigate options. You can also hire a driver for group or personal tours, as many of them are very familiar with the wineries, including their selection of wines, tasting procedures and more.

It used to be that you could show up at any winery unannounced and enjoy a sampling of wines. Since the pandemic, however, many wineries require reservations; it’s best to check before your visit. Many of them also offer only flights of wine or wine by the glass.

“Planning is essential for visiting the wineries because there are so many to choose from,” said Nicholas Hartmann, managing director of the Leelanau Peninsula Wine Trail, representing about 20 wineries.

“Checking with a winery ahead of time can save you the disappointment of showing up to find out they’re full because reservations are required.”

Visiting wineries, he adds, is “the best way to relax and enjoy this beautiful region.”

Traverse City is an ideal staging area for a wine weekend. There are plenty of hotel options and the downtown boasts a vibrant shopping district and top-notch restaurants.

The city is also home to a winery, Left Foot Charlie. The winery grows grapes on both

GROSSE POINTE SHORES RECOGNIZES GUN VIOLENCE AWARENESS SHORES — In the wake of a mass shooting that claimed the lives of two bright and promising young people with ties to the community, Grosse Pointe Shores is taking a stand against gun violence.

At the request of Grosse Pointe Shores residents Mark and Denise Neville, the Shores City Council voted unanimously May 16 to recognize June 2 as National Gun Violence Awareness/Wear Orange Day. The council didn’t approve a proclamation, but instead voted in favor of the following language: “As a Community, The Village of Grosse Pointe Shores proclaims Friday, June 2nd as the official day to wear orange in honor of National Gun Violence Awareness Day.

This encourages our neighborhoods to light up and wear orange in honor of those lives lost by gun violence in the United States.”

Mayor Ted Kedzierski recalled the Michigan State University campus shooting in February, which claimed the life of two local students — Grosse Pointe South High School graduate Brian Fraser, 20, of Grosse Pointe Park, and Grosse Pointe North High School graduate Arielle Anderson, 19, of Harper Woods.

“Certainly, we know how this community was affected (by gun violence),” Kedzierski said. “What a tragedy.”

While City Councilman Donn Schroder wasn’t opposed to the resolution, he did ask if the organization behind it — Moms Demand Action — had a political bias to it.

Denise Neville said the Wear Orange campaign is “to bring awareness to gun violence and gun safety.”

“The violence that happened at Michigan State, the loss of these two individuals, is traumatizing,” Denise Neville said after the meeting.

peninsulas and offers an impressive selection, including riesling, pinot blanc and chardonnay. The winery is located in the Village at Grand Traverse Commons, a former state hospital that is now an entertainment complex with boutiques, coffee shops and restaurants. The winery’s Barrel Room provides a more intimate wine-tasting experience with charcuterie options.

Old Mission is the narrowest and busiest of the two peninsulas, largely because it’s so close to downtown Traverse City and a strip of waterfront hotels. Vineyards share the pastoral landscape with tidy apple and cherry orchards, along with unparalleled views of Grand Traverse Bay. One of the first wineries along the peninsula’s main road is Mari Vineyards.

The Italian-style tasting room and winery look like it was plucked from Tuscany and dropped on the hills of Old Mission. The Italian architecture is a clue to the wine being poured inside. Mari is known for growing Italian varietals, including teroldego, nebbiolo and refosco, not so common in these parts. Their growth is aided by the use of “hoop houses,” metal hoop structures draped in plastic. By the way, Mari is owned by the family featured in the reality series “The Curse of Oak Island,” which follows treasure hunters on the island off the shore of Nova Scotia.

Brys Estate Vineyard and Winery is an ideal place to enjoy a glass or flight of wine on the deck, which overlooks vineyards and Grand Traverse Bay. Standout wine options include pinot blanc, sauvignon blanc and cabernet franc. Not to be missed is the frosé, a frozen rosé. You can top the concoction with a small pour of your favorite wine.

Stroll the secret garden to pick lavender in season and browse a selection of lavenderinspired products.

wine and complimentary wine tastings. A gourmet breakfast is served on a patio overlooking vineyards and Grand Traverse Bay. Cap an afternoon on Old Mission with a stop at the historic Mission Point Lighthouse at the peninsula’s tip. The 1870 lighthouse is open for self-guided tours.

The much larger Leelanau Peninsula lies west of Traverse City and is home to Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore.

The national lakeshore is a must-see and makes for an easy stopover before heading to wineries. Climb dunes or take a drive up Pierce Stocking Scenic Drive for panoramic views of Lake Michigan.

North of Sleeping Bear, on Route 22, Good Harbor Vineyards is one of the peninsula’s oldest wineries and pours favorites like riesling, chardonnay and pinot grigio. Its sister winery, Aurora Cellars, is outside Lake Leelanau. Known for its red wines (like blaufrankisch and cabernet franc), the winery includes a renovated 19th century farmhouse that is open to overnight guests.

At Shady Lane Cellars, you can sip alfresco in a tasting pavilion with a furnished patio and outdoor fireplace. Top choices here include gruner veltliner, pinot gris and Franc ‘n’ Franc, a blend of cabernet franc and blaufrankisch. Eight miles from Traverse City, this property was once a 100-acre fruit farm. Be sure to step inside the tasting room, a restored 100-year-old fieldstone chicken coop.

South of Suttons Bay, the Inn at Black Star Farms, which includes a winery, boasts upscale accommodations in a Kentuckystyle estate home. The inn is set amid 160 acres and boasts 10 classically furnished guest rooms. Besides the winery, the property includes a farm-to-table bistro, an equestrian facility and hiking trails. The tasting room menu boasts an expansive selection of dry and sweet wines and spirits. Be sure to try the dry riesling, chardonnay and the dry reds.

Greg Tasker is a Traverse City-based freelance writer and works part-time at a winery on the Leelanau Peninsula, Verterra Winery.

He highly recommends visiting the winery’s Leland tasting room or vineyard, The Ridge at Verterra, just south of Northport.

DPW from page 1A

eral months, the event marked a chance for Park leaders to share a project that had been in the discussion phase for years before it finally came to fruition.

“This is a big day for the city of Grosse Pointe Park and our residents,” City Manager Nick Sizeland said as he introduced the local and state leaders and organizations present for the grand opening.

The roughly $4 million project is being paid for with a 15-year bond using money raised by the Tax Increment Financing Authority, Sizeland said previously.

“This won’t raise any taxes,” Sizeland said in 2021. “There’s no special assessment.”

Mayor Michele Hodges said it was only fitting that the city would have the best DPW facility for its DPW crew. She also said it was important that the city be “good partners” with its neighbors in this process.

“You have to invest in your community if it’s going to thrive,” Hodges said. “And that’s what we did.”

DPW Supervisor Tom Jenny thanked city leaders.

“We are very appreciative of the new digs,” Jenny said.

The DPW had operated out of the former Ted Ewald Chevrolet dealership, adjacent to City Hall, for about 30 years.

With its half-moon upper windows, limestone and brick details, the front façade of the DPW doesn’t have the industrial appearance one might expect of a structure where function is more important than form.

“It was important, once we settled on this site, to make it look attractive,” said Robert Denner, who was mayor when ground was broken for the new DPW in October 2021. “It needed to look like it belonged in Grosse Pointe Park but still be functional.”

Denner noted that redevelopment in this part of Mack has been in the works for years, with the city acquiring parcels of land — including the site of the new DPW and the site where a relatively new neighboring Huntington Bank now sits — for that purpose. The Huntington Bank branch is partially located in the Park and partially located in Detroit.

The DPW site was once home to iconic businesses in the community, including the original Tom’s Oyster Bar and Grumpy’s Pub, Denner said. Most recently, it was occupied by Verdonckt’s Franco Belge Bakery, which had an address of 15046 Mack Ave. City Councilman Vikas Relan, who was on hand for the opening, said the building is long overdue for the city’s DPW.

Here, Mayor Michele Hodges cuts the ceremonial ribbon — which, in this case, was caution tape. RIGHT: City vehicles can be repaired and parked more easily in the Park’s new DPW building.

“Our team definitely deserved a new building 15 to 20 years ago,” Relan said. “I’m not proud of the process we went through, but I’m glad our team has a shiny new building.”

Relan felt the building should have been funded by the city, not the use of TIFA dollars, which he said could have been used to make improvements in the whole neighborhood that the district covers.

Former Park Planning Commission chairs Dave Gaskin and Malik Goodwin both praised the new building.

“It’s a great addition to the Mack Avenue corridor,” Goodwin said.

Gaskin called the building “fabulous.”

“It looks a lot better than what was the previous DPW on Jefferson,” Gaskin continued.

Former longtime City Councilman Jim Robson said he’s lived in the Park for the last 45 years and is close enough to the new DPW that he walked there for the opening.

He said he used to call the area “the block of blight” because of all the empty buildings.

Not anymore.

“Every time I drive by, I just have a nice feeling in my heart,” Robson said of the revitalization on Mack.

Community and business leaders also lauded the new development.

“It’s a wonderful addition to the Park, and it’ll be great to have all of the Public Works trucks and facilities housed in one place, in a state-of-the-art facility that will offer great services to residents,” said Abigail Turnbull, membership and events coordinator for the Grosse Pointe Chamber of Commerce.

The DPW building had originally been slated to open in spring or summer of 2022, but the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain issues and shortages of materials such as concrete and asphalt delayed the process. DPW

staffers said they started working in the building in late December 2022.

While the new building is roughly 17,000 square feet — about the same size as the old DPW — the layout has been substantially improved.

“We’re getting the bugs worked out, but it’s been working really well for us,” Jenny said of working from the new building. “(Having this new facility) can make our

jobs 10 times easier. It’s functionally easier to work out of here.”

City officials said Jenny and his predecessor, Pat Thomas, played a key role in designing the layout of the building so that it would better serve the department’s needs and those of its personnel now and in the future.

“A lot of the elements in here are sort of Tudor in style. … All in all, we feel it’s a big improvement from the original submission and the last submission,” Jackson said.

John Skok, a principal with McIntosh Poris, said they wanted to “still keep some of the elements” they liked, including the large bay windows, while also taking concerns from officials into account.

“We don’t want it all in (one) line. That looks too commercial,” Skok said of the façade, which retains a feeling of depth by having some aspects protruding forward, such as the covered front doorways, which double as small porches.

Skok said they took cues from older designs in the community, including buildings designed by Albert Kahn. These elements can be seen in the woodwork detail.

“We think it’s a good modern response to the form,” Skok said.

Several other changes from the last plan that were supported by City officials are being retained, including the elimination of an existing storage building, the addition of four parking spaces, elimination of a proposed 3-foot-tall decorative wood fence along the side lot lines and the increase in height of a fence on the side lot lines adjacent to singlefamily homes from 6 feet tall to 8 feet tall.

Jackson said the two fence changes came about as a result of the developer’s discussions with neighbors.

Electric vehicle charging stations with solar panels are also slated to be included in the parking lot, although the developer isn’t required to do this and could decide not to add those.

Skok said if they build EV charging stations, they would also add a couple of covered carports in the parking lot to protect the charging stations from the elements.

City officials praised the revised design.

“I think you guys did a great job of hearing us and making it work,” Tomkowiak said.

She said the latest version of the façade “feels traditional to me” and is a good blend of a traditional look with modern or updated touches.

“I like how open your second floor is,” said City Councilwoman Maureen Juip, who also felt the patios and balconies would be appreciated by those living in the townhomes.

The former GPPSS administrative building is being redeveloped as apartments.

The building consists of two former GPPSS school buildings that were connected in 2002-2003.

The older structure is the Cadieux School, built in 1905-1906 by the architectural firm of Stratton and Baldwin. It’s one of only two of the school district’s original buildings that are still standing; the other, the Cook Schoolhouse, was moved to Grosse Pointe Woods-owned property adjacent to Woods City Hall in 2006 and is maintained by the Grosse Pointe Woods Historical Commission. The Cadieux School was named for the Cadieux family, who lived in the community; according to the Grosse Pointe Historical Society, Francis Cadieux was the District No. 1 School Inspector for 33 years.

To accommodate a growing student population, a second building, designed

by Joseph E. Mills, was constructed on the north side, at 399 St. Clair, in 1916.

Skok said they recently received recognition by the National Register of Historic Places — which is operated by the National Park Service — for the Cadieux School. At press time, this was the only building in Michigan added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2023.

City Councilman Seth Krupp congratulated the developer on achieving this recognition and thanked Giles and the architectural team for working with officials and residents to revise the façade of the townhouses.

“I appreciate you guys incorporating our feedback,” Krupp said.

Cadieux based on the Act 51 delineation.

Grosse Pointe Park is 100% responsible for Cadieux from Kercheval (Avenue) to Mack Avenue. The end result is that each municipality is still responsible for half of Cadieux as a border road but it is split side to side instead of essentially down the middle like Fisher Road.”

“It’s been a cooperative (effort) between both of our cities that’s worked out well for years,” Sizeland said. “It’s quite a deal.”

Dame said this is the second time the City and Park had gotten this federal funding for Cadieux.

Sizeland said the work would likely be done at the end of the school year.

“This is a win-win,” Park City Councilman Max Wiener said. “It’s needed.”

BRING YOUR GARDEN TO LIFE WITH THESE TIPS FROM A GARDENING PRO

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Whether someone is a newbie or a veteran, master gardener Mil Hurley — owner of the Grosse Pointe Farms-based business, A Southern Gardener — believes anyone can create a garden of which they’re proud.

“She says, ‘Yes, you can,’” said Grosse Pointe Farms City Councilwoman Sierra Donaven, chair of the Farms’ Beautification Advisory Commission.

To help gardeners of all skill levels, Hurley outlined “The Principals of Garden Design and Maintenance” during a Farms Beautification Advisory Commission program May 10 at Pier Park.

Hurley has a lifetime of experience working with plants.

“Her love for gardening started as a child,” Donaven said of Hurley, who grew up on a farm in the South.

Hurley said principals of garden design include unity, proportion and balance — whether the garden is formal or informal, symmetrical or asymmetrical. Proportion extends not only to elements within the garden, but to whether the garden is in alignment with the home and the lot. Unity refers to everything working together to create an overall design, Hurley explained.

Every garden should have a focal point or focal points.

“It can be something fun,” said Hurley, noting that one person used painted dowels to add interest.

The focal point can be a plant, but it can also be an object like a bench. It just

needs to be something eye-catching.

“The focal point doesn’t necessarily have to be in the center,” Hurley said.

Simplicity can make for an effective garden.

“Simplicity doesn’t mean it’s boring,” said Hurley.

If gardeners put in the right plant or plants, the garden won’t require a lot of work, she said.

Rhythm can be created in a garden through repetition or something like a curved hedge, Hurley said.

Small gardens can make a big impact.

Hurley said consider putting a small garden in the middle of a large yard.

One of the most important things gardeners can do is to read the tags on the plants before buying them. Hurley said gardeners need to pay close attention to the amount of sun each plant requires, because putting a plant in the wrong spot means it won’t thrive or bloom.

If you’re not sure how much sun a portion of your yard gets, Hurley said to put a timer on at 8 a.m. one day and check that area every hour during the day. Plants that require full sun need a spot that’s sunny six hours or more a day; plants that need partial sun/partial shade should get roughly four to six hours of sun daily; and plants that need to be in shade should be in a location that gets four hours or less of full sun. This can change from year to year as trees grow or are removed, a homeowner or neighbor adds an addition, or other aspects of the surroundings change.

Soil is the foundation on which every garden grows. Hurley said there are three

types: clay, which doesn’t drain well; sand, which does drain well but lacks nutrients; and loam, which is nutrient-dense. Compost be used to create soil that will give plants the nutrients necessary for healthy growth.

Gardeners also have another natural and nutritious, free resource to improve their soil: leaves. Hurley said gardeners should leave the leaves in their garden beds in the spring, rather than having them blown out.

“You are doing a disservice to yourself by having those leaves taken out of your gardening beds,” Hurley said.

If people don’t like the look of leaves in their garden bed, they can put mulch on top of them. Hurley said the leaves will still break down underneath the mulch, and gardeners don’t need to put as much mulch in their garden beds when there’s a layer of leaves below.

Because mulch breaks down, Hurley recommends that homeowners consider

avoiding dyed mulch, because the chemicals used in those dyes will end up in the soil and water.

Hurley said homeowners don’t need to tear up their entire yard for a garden — a container with interesting plants can also work well. She said the same principles of good garden design apply to containers.

When planting trees, shrubs or other plants, Hurley said, mulch should be placed at the base of the plant in a doughnut shape, not a volcano, because mulch piled up at the base will make the plant or bark wet and weak, as well as create an environment that can harbor bacteria or pests.

Whether a garden is formal or informal is up to the homeowner. The same is true of how it’s designed. As Hurley observed, “There are no garden police.”

“I encourage you to be yourself with your garden,” Hurley said. “Let it speak to who you are.”

SHORES — The Grosse Pointe Shores City Hall parking lot off Vernier Road — sometimes referred to as the Department of Public Works lot because it’s adjacent to the DPW building — will be getting a makeover this spring.

The Shores City Council voted unanimously during a May 16 meeting in favor of a low bid from Detroit-based Asphalt Control Corporation to repave the lot at a cost of $131,349.90. Asphalt Control Corporation was one of three bidders who vied for the job.

“The parking lot in back here definitely needs it,” Public Services Director Mike Way told the council.

Way said the work will involve putting down 4 inches of new asphalt and restriping the parking spaces in the same way those spaces are configured now.

It will be “like a brand-new lot when we’re done,” Way said.

The project wasn’t included in the 2022-23 budget but will be paid out of that

T S E F E N JU 3

budget with money transferred from other accounts, Way said.

“This is one of the many projects that were included in our capital improvement list,” Way said.

Mayor Ted Kedzierski asked if the city did “due diligence” with regard to making sure that the low bidder was reputable.

Way responded that this would normally be the case, but Asphalt Control Corp. is a firm that the Shores has done a lot of work with in the past, so they’re already a trusted contractor and didn’t need to be vetted further.

While a start date for the work hadn’t been set at press time, Way said the project would be completed before the current fiscal year ends June 30. He said the parking lot is expected to take roughly a week to do.

The city has a second parking lot adjacent to Shores City Hall that’s off Lake Shore Road, so City Hall visitors will be able to use that lot if they need to do business with the city while the DPW lot is being repaved.

HE W T F O E M I R C WEEK •

F THE O E M I R C • NEWSWORTHY OF THE WEEK INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Upset man yells at hotel

STERLING HEIGHTS — A “highly upset” man reportedly was yelling and threatening staff in a hotel lobby along Van Dyke Avenue April 23.

The hotel reported that the man had reserved a room at another hotel and went to the wrong place.

According to police, staff later said the man left, and police were no longer sought for help.

Ex-worker evicted from child care center

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a child care center in the 38000 block of Utica Road April 21 upon hearing that someone was being disorderly there. Police said they heard a woman yelling and demanding a check. Police reportedly learned that the facility had fired her and wanted her gone. The woman was reportedly given her paycheck.

Police said the woman went to her car and loitered by it for a while before entering it. Police said the woman then drove the vehicle “in a manner to prevent officers from looking at her license plate” and allegedly wasn’t leaving the parking lot. Police said they ordered her to leave via a loudspeaker, and she did.

Vehicles drive recklessly in parking lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — A red Chevrolet Impala and a white Ram were recklessly driving in a parking lot along 18 Mile Road the night of April 21. The reporting person told police, with some uncertainty, that the vehicles’ occupants might have been exiting their vehicles to fight.

When police arrived, they didn’t see the vehicles.

Burglary reported
