TRUMP ANNOUNCES NEW SELFRIDGE FIGHTER MISSION

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — During a stop in Macomb County on April 29, President Donald Trump announced that Selfridge Air National Guard Base would receive a new mission with 21 “brand new” F-15EX Eagle II fighter jets.

Announced at Selfridge alongside state and federal officials to an audience of Michigan National Guard members and press, the F-15EX jets will replace the aging and outgoing A-10 Thunderbolt II jets as the base’s offensive mission. The planes are expected to arrive at the base in fiscal year 2028, according to the Department of Defense.

“Well, I guess they think we’re going to save this place,” Trump said to begin his speech at the base. “And you know what? They’re right. A hundred percent right. We’re

Tollway text message scam on the rise

BY MARY BETH ALMOND AND GENA JOHNSON malmond@candgnews.com gjohnson@candgnews.com

FARMINGTON HILLS — Michiganders are warned to be on the lookout for text messages requesting overdue toll payments.

According to officials, the messages are one of the latest attempts to steal personal information.

The scam involves criminals mimicking the Michigan Department of Transportation website and sending text messages soliciting payment for traveling certain roads to unsuspecting drivers.

The Michigan Department of Transportation doesn’t operate toll roads, according to State Transportation Director Bradley C. Wieferich, so any messages requesting payment should raise a red flag.

“Please be assured this is a scam and the texts are not coming from the MDOT or another State of Michigan agency,” Wieferich said in a statement. “MDOT does not operate any toll roads. Some state-owned bridges are tolled but not through license plate capture. You would not receive a bill through text or email.”

While toll scams aren’t new, local police say this one is quickly becoming more prevalent in the metro Detroit area.

“We are aware of many people receiving text messages about alleged unpaid tolls, including some City of Farmington Hills employees,” Farmington Hills Police Chief John Piggott said in a statement. “The Farmington Hills Police Department is urging community members not to click links in unexpected text messages, and to never share any of their personal and financial information to unsolicited messages.”

The text message claims it’s a final reminder and threatens legal action if immediate payment isn’t made, with a deceptive link designed to resemble the official MDOT website.

Instead of complying, “Community members should block the number sending the text and report the message as spam through their phone’s messaging app,” the chief said.

Never enter any personal information unless you know it is a legitimate website.

“Before entering your credit card information in response to any kind of text message, take a moment to look closely. If the link does not include an official web domain, phone number or email address, ignore the message,” Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel said in a statement.

Those who click the link and input personal and payment details are exposing themselves to scammers, risking financial compromise.

“If they think the debt may be legitimate, they should go directly to the official toll website or contact the organization using verified customer service information,” Piggott said. “Community members who suspect they have fallen victim to one of these scams or a similar scam should contact the Farmington Hills Police Department.”

Those concerned about fraudulent messages can also reach out to MDOT at (517) 241-2400 or by emailing mdot@michigan. gov. Consumers can report smishing texts by forwarding them to SPAM (7726) and by sending the texts to the Federal Trade Commission.

Call Staff Writer Mary Beth Almond at (586) 498-1060. Call Staff Writer Gena Johnson at (586) 498-1069.

President Donald Trump delivers an announcement before members of the Michigan National Guard at Selfridge Air National Guard Base on April 29. Trump said the base would receive 21 F-15EX fighter jets in the coming years, fulfilling a goal of Michigan officials to maintain a fighter mission after the A-10 Thunderbolt II is retired.

impact statements to the judge about the trauma they endured at the hands of Levran before the sentencing.

Poles exceeded the sentencing guidelines and gave Levran the maximum sentence under Michigan law on nearly all charges, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald in a written release.

Poles characterized Levran’s behavior as “sociopathic” and found him “unrepentant” as she delivered the sentence, according to the prosecutor’s release.

The highest charges were the 10 counts of criminal sexual assault in the third degree, with each count punishable by up to 15 years in prison, according to McDonald in a previous statement.

These charges are more serious than the charges of criminal sexual assault in the second and fourth degrees because criminal sexual assault in the third degree involves penetration while the second and fourth degrees do not, according to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.

The other charges include two counts of criminal sexual conduct in the second degree, along with 12 counts of criminal sexual conduct in the fourth degree, and a range of child sexually abusive charges.

Jonathan Jones is the attorney representing Levran. He explained the sentencing range.

“Whenever you are sentenced on a felony, there has to be an indeterminate amount (of time) set,” Jones said. “The 10 (years) represents the minimum you have to do, or to be eligible for parole. The larger number (25 years in this case) is the max you can be

held, which is set by statute.”

Levran will receive various amounts of jail credit, according to Jones, because the charges did not arrive all at once.

“On the oldest cases, he got 888 days credit. On other cases, he got 749 days credit. And on the most recent or newest cases, I believe he got 208 days credit,” Jones said.

The sentences will be served concurrently, according to Jones. Levran was not surprised with the number of years he was sentenced.

“What we bargained for put us in a range where we knew that this was likely to happen,” Jones said. “It started off as a life (sentence), and we certainly wanted to avoid that. As Judge Poles said yesterday, if she could, she would have given him three life sentences.”

According to Jones, this has been a time-consuming journey for everyone involved.

“I hope the victims can all find peace, and get better, and the pain dissipates minimally, if not go away,” Jones said. “This is what we had worked toward.”

The Oakland County prosecutor expressed her view on Levran.

“Zvi Levran exploited his position as a trusted caregiver to abuse patients, including children. He now will be made to account for his crimes,” McDonald said in a written statement. “It’s never easy for sexual abuse victims to tell their stories. The courage of the victims who came forward against Levran helped prevent this predator from abusing future victims. Our community is safer because of their bravery.”

Those experiencing abuse can make an anonymous report or seek support by calling the National Sexual Assault Hotline at (800) 656-4673. The hotline is available 24/7.

Selfridge

going to save it and make it better, actually.”

Finding a new fighter mission for the base to replace the A-10 mission has been a priority for Michigan officials in recent years. The state switched its focus to securing an F-15EX mission for the base in 2023 after failing to secure an F-35 Lightning II mission.

U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, described the F-15EX as “the airframe (Selfridge officials) saw the highest likelihood of gaining” and worked to get additional funding for F-15EX production into a draft version of the 2024 federal budget. Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who

was in attendance to greet Trump when he arrived at Selfridge on April 29, pledged to fund a northward expansion of Selfridge’s runway and approved a $13 million allocation to do so in the state’s 2023 budget.

“Since day one, I’ve been laser-focused on securing a new fighter mission at Selfridge and supporting the brave service members who step up for our communities every day,” Whitmer said via press release. “I appreciate the President’s partnership on this new fighter mission that will protect jobs and show the world that Michigan is the best place to pioneer the next innovations in national defense.

Because of our tireless work with partners on the ground in Macomb County and on both sides of the aisle, the future of Selfridge is bright, lasting and secure. I’ll keep working with anyone to get things done on the kitch-

en-table issues and make a real difference for Michigan families.”

Local officials were quick to applaud the announcement with both Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel, a Democrat, and Macomb County Public Works Commissioner Candice Miller, a Republican from Harrison Township, releasing statements of support.

“This is the best possible outcome, better than either F-16 or F-35,” Miller said via press release. “The F-15EX is a refurbishment of the F-15, a major overhaul/upgrade that just entered the active inventory in 2024, so it will be around for a long time, and it is an extremely important mission. It can be configured for air-to-air or air-toground operation … With the F-15EX, plus the KC-46s that are in the pipeline for us,

the Michigan Air National Guard will be playing a major role in national defense for decades.”

Hackel’s comments in a press release reflected the bipartisan nature of the campaign to bring a new fighter mission to the nearly 110-year-old base.

“It’s fitting that a coalition of this size and scope rallied around Macomb County to help uplift Selfridge,” Hackel said. “This effort went beyond partisanship, and united us in the mission to protect our hometown airbase. I want to personally thank President Trump, Governor Whitmer, the servicewomen and servicemen at Selfridge and all of our military and civilian partners who were engaged in these conversations.”

SPOTLIGHT ON HEALTH

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — From the contentious political climate to the economy to the rapid pace of modern life, stressors are everywhere and impact people of all ages. A 2022 survey by the American Psychological Association reported that 76% of respondents experienced at least one stress symptom in the past month.

Prolonged periods of stress can put people at risk for many medical conditions, including digestive problems, weight gain, headaches, sleeplessness, anxiety, depression, high blood pressure, stroke, heart disease and problems with memory and concentration, according to the American Heart Association.

All of this means that stress management is vital for overall health and well-being. Fortunately, there are tools people can acquire to reduce stress and improve their quality of life.

Kristina Mansour is a therapist and part owner of Reflective Therapy Center in Troy and Northville. She said anxiety “is a fictional land” the mind creates, so focusing on the senses — what you see, smell and hear around you — can ground a person.

Challenging automatic negative thoughts is another tool.

“We don’t even recognize that it’s happening,” Mansour said of these intrusive thoughts.

She said it can take a lot of effort — and

Build a toOlkit to adDresS stresS

sometimes time — to do this, but the benefits are worth it.

Mansour said they use the ABC method to counter negative thinking. “A” is for the activating thought, such as being on a plane. “B” is for the belief, such as the fear the plane will crash. “C” stands for the consequence, or the emotion that comes from this thread.

She said patients keep the same “A” — so they’re still that person on the plane — but they’re asked to come up with a different “B” and “C,” such as thinking that they’re going to be seeing loved ones when they land, which would result in a happy emotional outcome. Mansour said she recommends that people journal an ABC once a night for the day to come, coming up with one negative and one positive scenario. It’s all about reframing.

“It’s just about redefining what the ‘A’ leads to,” Mansour said. “You have control (over that).”

Cognitive behavioral therapy is something she said she does with many patients.

“It just allows you to recognize you really have more control than you think you do,” Mansour said.

The ABCs can be recorded in a journal. Mansour said journaling is useful for many people, as they can refer back to previous entries and see the progress they’ve made.

A deep breathing exercise is something Dr. Jayanti Mischra, a psychologist at Mind Empowerment in Troy, recommends

Hoot’s sons and co-owners, Bob and Jim McInerney, work hand in hand with his grandsons, Executive Manager, Ryan McInerney and Sales Manager, Patrick Leonhard, to oversee his legacy. e late Hoot started a chain of automobile dealerships across the country 55 years ago, and Star Lincoln continues to celebrate this standard of excellence.

Ryan McInerney explains the standard: “ e Lincoln Motor Company has long been synonymous with luxury, innovation, and comfort. In recent years, Lincoln has expanded its focus beyond premium vehicles to emphasize wellness and a holistic driving experience.

Stress

for people of all ages. It involves inhaling for four seconds, holding your breath for four seconds and exhaling for four seconds, which can be done several times in a row.

“It helps a lot with people who are feeling stressed,” Mischra said. “It helps you to focus in that moment on the task that you are doing.”

Getting up from the chair or couch can help, too.

“I also recommend moving around,” Mischra said. “If you are at a workplace and you feel that tension in your back and your head, walk around the building for 10 minutes. If it’s possible to be outside, that’s the best thing to do.”

While walking, she said a person can also practice deep breathing for an additional calming effect.

Mischra said positive affirmations, such as, “I’m going to have a good day,” and having a positive conversation with yourself — speaking to yourself in a positive way, instead of a negative or critical way — can be helpful as well, whether these conversations and affirmations are said aloud or silently.

Mischra advises people to spend at least 10 minutes each day practicing mindfulness and meditation; she said guided meditation is especially good for people who aren’t used to meditating and there are guided meditation videos on YouTube and apps like Headspace and Calm that can assist newcomers.

We are often our own harshest critics, so Mischra said she asks patients to list three positive things from their day.

“It helps to be gentle to yourself and reflect on your day,” she said.

The mind-body connection is powerful. Mischra and Mansour both said they ask patients about their diet and sleep habits.

Sugar, caffeine and water intake, for example, “can contribute to emotional stressors,” Mansour said.

For better sleep, Mischra said people should turn off their TV and avoid looking at devices like their phone or laptop at least 45 minutes to an hour before they go to bed. Limiting stimulants like caffeine and sugar before bed is critical as well.

“Following good sleep hygiene habits helps to combat stress,” Mischra said.

Stress might seem like an insurmountable mountain to climb, but it can be done.

“If you put in the work, you will see that success,” Mansour said.

Low vision doesn’t mean the end of independence—and it certainly doesn’t mean the end of hope. At Beyond Low Vision in Novi, Dr. John Jacobi is transforming lives by helping patients with vision loss regain the ability to do the things they love.

Low vision is a condition that glasses, surgery, or standard medical treatments can’t fully correct. It can make reading, driving, watching television, or recognizing faces nearly impossible. For adults with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or other serious eye diseases, it can feel like the world is slowly slipping away.

Dr. Jacobi’s mission is to stop that slide—and restore more than just sight. With more than 35 years of optometric experience and advanced training in low vision rehabilitation, Dr. Jacobi is one of the only low vision specialists in Michigan who offers customized visual solutions using advanced optics like high-powered magnifers and miniature telescopes built into glasses.

“Most people with low vision have been told ‘nothing more can be done.’ That’s simply not true,” says Dr. Jacobi. “With the right tools and strategies, we can help patients read again, watch TV, see loved ones’ faces, and even drive in some cases.”

As a Fellow of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, Dr. Jacobi provides detailed functional vision assessments to understand how each patient’s unique condition affects their

daily life. Then, he designs personalized low vision systems—specialized devices and glasses tailored to help them meet real-world goals.

One of his most powerful tools is the miniature telescope lens system, which can be added to glasses to magnify and enhance central vision. For patients with macular degeneration or advanced glaucoma, it can make the difference between watching a grandchild perform in a school play—or just hearing about it later.

Beyond his work with older adults, Dr. Jacobi also helps younger patients living with congenital or acquired visual impairment. His practice is fully devoted to low vision, and he works closely with other eye doctors across the state to bring his services to more people in need.

“Every case is different,” says Dr. Jacobi. “I’ve helped a 12-year-old read her favorite books again, and I’ve helped a 99-yearold get back to doing crossword puzzles. That’s the power of low vision care.”

Appointments with Dr. Jacobi are available in Novi, and an east side location may open soon based on demand. He also offers phone consultations and is happy to speak with referring optometrists or ophthalmologists.

If you or someone you love is struggling with vision loss, don’t give up. Beyond Low Vision may be the answer.

“Low vision care is not about what you’ve lost,” Dr. Jacobi says. “It’s about what we can help you get back.”

Pontiac Transportation Museum gears up for its ‘Phase II Fanfare’ event

MUSEUM PAYS TRIBUTE TO PONTIAC’S CONTRIBUTION TO THE AUTO INDUSTRY

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

PONTIAC — Walking into the Pontiac Transportation Museum is like spending time in your grandfather’s pristine garage as a kid.

The museum is a leisurely walk back in time that pays tribute to the car manufacturers and assembly line workers who made everything from 19th century carriages to late ’60s GTOs in Pontiac-based automobile plants. That includes the Oakland Motor Car Co., Pontiac Assembly, the Pontiac Tractor Co. and GMC.

Memorabilia tells the city’s auto history, vehicles from different decades are on display, there’s a section dedicated to 50 years of Pontiac coach buses, visitors can view interactive videos, and much more. Volunteer docents are available to answer questions and take guests on museum tours. There’s also a gift shop that sells T-shirts, baseball caps, glassware and stickers.

“Our scope is basically wheel vehicles in Pontiac, either engineered here or manufactured here and or both. Forty-seven companies were here over time. We live in southeastern Michigan. Everybody is related to somebody that worked in the auto business,” said Pontiac Transportation Museum Board Chair Terry Connolly, a Rochester Hills resident. “The nice thing about opening the museum is people walk up almost every day with a box of stuff. You find some artifacts in there that are just amazing that people kept.”

are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and from noon to 5 p.m. Sundays. The public is welcome to attend.
