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 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 prior-

HISTORICAL MARKER DEDICATED AT VFW BRUCE POST
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
On May 1, the St. Clair Shores Historical Commission, members of the Cpl. Walter F. Bruce Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1146 and guests unveiled a new historical marker.
According to an email from the chair of the commission, Jerry Sielagoski, the post can trace its origins back to Halfway, Michigan in 1924. It went inactive in 1926, was revitalized in 1927 and once again went inactive in 1929.
In 1934, four men thought there should be a veterans organization in St. Clair Shores and, after several meetings, submitted their charter on Aug. 31, 1934. These men were Bill Randall, Joe Dendoven, Leo Delo and Charlie Pasters, the email states. The post was initially named “St. Clair Shores” but was renamed in 1935 after the first

Childcare worker charged with abuse
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
According to a press release sent by the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, a childcare worker is being charged with multiple accounts of child abuse involving a 10-month-old infant.
Prosecutors alleged that 31-year-old Samantha Franz “aggressively abused” the infant in her care causing bruising to the child’s arms. Video footage from March 31 and April 1 was reviewed that showed Franz aggressively and forcefully abusing the crying child, according to the release.
She is being charged with one count of child abuse in the second degree, a 10year felony, and one count of child abuse in the fourth degree, a one-year misdemeanor. Franz was arraigned in the 40th District court where she had a personal bond set at $5,000.
A probable cause conference was scheduled for 8:30 a.m. on May 9 with a preliminary exam scheduled at 8:30 a.m. on May 20.
“The safety and well-being of our children is our absolute top priority. These charges reflect our commitment to holding offenders accountable, and ensuring justice for our most vulnerable members, their families, and the community as a whole,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in the release.
Franz’s lawyer, Jeffery Buehner, said he didn’t have any comment.

Fatal freeway shooting in St. Clair Shores under investigation
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
An investigation into an April 26 shooting on Interstate 94 in St. Clair Shores con-
tinued at press time, as police have since reported that one of the victims died of his injuries.
According to a social media post by the Michigan State Police, the shooting occurred
at 12:55 p.m. on April 26 on eastbound I-94 near 10 Mile Road. The initial investigation showed that two drivers were shooting at each other while on the freeway. One was in a black vehicle while the other drove a silver
vehicle. The driver of the black vehicle rear ended the silver vehicle, which kept traveling along the freeway.
According to the original release, both

Firefighters climb for a cause
On May 4, members from the St. Clair Shores Fire Department participated in the 2025 Fight for Air stair climb at Comerica Park in Detroit.
Firefighter and paramedic Nick McCormick said the climb is annually hosted by the American Lung Association. It raises money for the association to help fight lung-related diseases. This year, the team of 10 St. Clair Shores firefighters raised $2,500. In full gear, the firefighters climbed the upper section of the park, which is around 2,200 steps.
Different fire departments participated the same day, including Roseville and Armada.
This is McCormick’s fourth time participating, and he said it was a good experience.

Grand Marshal, Veteran of the Year chosen
The Grand Marshal and the Veteran of the Year for the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade have been chosen.
The Grand Marshal is Tonora Shannon. According to an email, she served seven years in the United States Navy. While she served, she experienced two heart attacks. One resulted in a fall, which doctors believe led to glaucoma and complete vision loss.
“She worked for many years at the Department of Veterans Affairs at the (John D. Dingle) Detroit VA Medical Center and is now retired,” the email stated. “She also held office as Vice President of the Blinded Veteran’s Association - Michigan Regional Group.”
The Veteran of the Year is Bernard (Bernie) Jarzombek. He served in the United States Army in Vietnam and has served previously as an officer at the Cpl. Walter F. Bruce VFW Post 1146. Though he grew up in Hamtramck, he spent his adult years in St. Clair Shores.
“People who know Bernie personally say that he is one of the kindest, most humble gentlemen they’ve ever met,” the email stated.

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.”
The museum, located at 250 W. Pike St., opened in May 2024 with phase I of its installation. Just a year later, organizers will

LOOKING BACK: JEFFERSON BEACH AMUSEMENT PARK FIRE, 1955
In April 1955, 70 years ago last month, a fire began near the fortune teller’s booth and soon spread to many of the other attractions at the Jefferson Beach Amusement Park, as seen in this photograph.
Fire Chief Phillip Eckhout and the 26 men of the St. Clair Shores Fire Department responded with five trucks and 4,500 feet of hose. Fire departments from nine other neighboring communities also responded, lending men and equipment.
The park, which had opened in 1927 at 24400 Jefferson Avenue (between Nine and 10 Mile roads) contained numerous wooden buildings: the children’s area known as “Kiddie Land,” concession stands, adult rides such as the “Tunnel of Love” and the fun house, as well as the 1,000-foot-long wooden roller coaster.
The fire was extinguished, and the damaged buildings were razed, but the park never fully recovered. Jefferson Beach Amusement Park closed permanently in 1959, and the property was converted to use as a marina.

METRO DETROIT — They’re beautiful, symbolic and have been immortalized in poems and songs, but even seasoned gardeners can express trepidation when it comes to roses.
As one gardening pro recently observed, “They are fussy.”
Still, that doesn’t mean that gardeners should avoid this legendary bloom.
Monica Sabella is a rosarian, horticulturist and greenhouse specialist who takes care of the roses at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. During an April 8 presentation on rose care, she said there are three main categories of roses: old garden roses (sometimes called antique or historical), wild roses and modern garden roses. Sabella said old garden roses — which have been around since before 1867 and only bloom once per year — “are not as disease-resistant and not as hardy” as modern roses; modern roses are the ones most common in stores today.
The Ford House has 16 rose beds, with

Supporters, protesters gather to mark Trump’s 100th day
BY MARIA ALLARD AND NICK POWERS allard@candgnews.com npowers@candgnews.com
Editor’s note: While your local newspaper was denied credentials to cover the president’s remarks at Macomb Community College on April 29, our team of journalists spoke to those outside of the event who came to applaud or protest the first 100 days of his second nonconsecutive term. Here is what they had to say.
WARREN — Tien Tran, a resident of Fullerton, California, traveled from the West Coast to Warren to see President Donald Trump April 29 at the South Campus of Macomb Community College in Warren.
Trump, elected to his second term last November, held a rally at the local college to observe his first 100 days in office that has centered around tariffs, the Department of Government Efficiency, illegal immigration, securing the border and the possible dismantlement of the U.S. Department of Education.
“He’s a real leader. He cares about his people,” said Tran, 59, who wore a white suit, cowboy hat and Trump flair. “This is historic. This is an important event for the future of my three children.”
Tran was born in Vietnam and said he spent two years in a refugee camp before coming to the U.S. He is pleased the Trump administration has clamped down on illegal immigration through Immigration and Customs Enforcement and feels if people want to move to the U.S., they need to do it legally.
“We escaped communism. We lost South Vietnam 50 years ago. When you came here See TRUMP on page 11A
page 9A
then you had to be vetted, you had to learn English and you learned how to adapt,” he said. “You came here to support yourself. The government doesn’t support you.”
Trump was scheduled to speak at 6 p.m., and attendees needed a ticket to get inside the Sports and Expo Center. Doors to his rally opened at 1:45 p.m. Many supporters — wearing Trump T-shirt, hats and buttons — lined up early in the day. Merchandisers sold everything from flags to bumper stickers, media lined up to speak to supporters, and there was a police presence.
Cheri Veradi, 56, of Adrian, stood in line in the early afternoon waiting for her sister and cousin.
“I want him to know he has a lot of support. I love how strong he is,” she said. “He makes the United States strong.”
On March 20, Trump signed an executive order to dismantle the U.S. Department of Education. The department has not closed; by law, that would still have to go before Congress for a vote.
“I’m fine with that,” Veradi said of it possibly closing.
She commended the Republican president for working to secure the borders and deport known criminals.
“That needed to happen because of crime,” she said.
Veradi has attended about five Trump rallies.
“The camaraderie is what I love about them,” she said.

member of the post, Walter F. Bruce, died in November 1934.
Last year, the post celebrated its 90th anniversary.
Sielagoski said the first thing the commission did was approach the post and talk to its commander, Randy Shafer. He also talked to the VFW of Michigan as well as the national office.
“We were debating exactly whether this post number actually existed previously, how many times, when did it start, when did it end,” Sielagoski said. “And we contacted the national office and obtained all that information.”
A residential marker and a public marker are different. With the residential program, those who would like to date their home have to submit an application. The public markers are through the city. Sielagoski said it was interesting going through all the information.
“We enjoy that tracking down of information and putting the story together and sharing it with our community,” Sielagoski said.

open the second phase of the museum on May 17, and the public is cordially invited to the “Phase II Fanfare” event.
The day will begin at 9 a.m. with a car cafe kickoff that will include free coffee, doughnuts and cider. Car buffs who drive classic Pontiac, Oakland and GMC brands are welcome to showcase their models on the museum grounds as space allows.
The museum will open at 10 a.m. with “Phase I” admittance prices. At noon, the event will switch gears with guest speakers and a ribbon-cutting to officially open phase II of the museum. From 1 to 5 p.m., the public can enjoy live music outside, and food will be for sale.
“We want people to be proud of what happened in Pontiac. We want to attract heritage tourism to Pontiac,” said Connolly, a retired automobile engineer. “There was a lot of wealth accumulation in Pontiac at one point in time. It happened because of manufacturing prowess and science and technology.”
There are bits of history throughout the museum that highlight all kinds of vehicles made in the city: carriages, sedans, station wagons, sports cars, convertibles, 18-wheeler trailers, medium-duty trucks, pickup trucks, and buses. Inside the museum is a 1908 Pontiac High Wheel Runabout, a 1912 Flanders Colonial Electric, 1968 Pontiac Firebird Ram Air II, 1940 GMC pickup truck, the very last Pontiac 2010 G6 sedan and more.
“Pontiac had 80% of the transit market in the whole United States for about 40 years,” Connolly said. “The Department of Justice didn’t take kindly to that and took GM to court for about 10 years and said, ‘It’s a monopoly, you’ve got to break it all off.’ So GM sold it all off, but most of the transit buses in the United States were built in Pontiac.”
Also on display are Whizzer motorbikes, which ran on gasoline and became popular during World War II.
“Gas was rationed, and women began working at plants,” Connolly said. “They all bought Whizzers” to get to work. The Pontiac manufacturing plants also supplied vehicles during World War II, including DUKWs, antiaircraft guns, armored cars, torpedoes, parts for tanks and landing craft and artillery ammunition.
In another site, volunteers placed two cars next to each other that represent the beginning and end of manufacturing in the city: a 1927 Landau sedan and a 1982 Grand Prix. Guests might also spot the 21-foot 1986 Vixen recreational vehicle on exhibit. Only 587 models were produced in 19861987 at the Vixen Motor Co.; they really didn’t generate much interest.
“My assessment is it was too expensive for its market in the mid-’80s because you could buy a bigger motorhome for the same amount of money,” Connolly said. “These were built right next door to where the Silverdome used to stand.”
The Pontiac Transportation Museum was built inside the former Crofoot Elemen-

The two people in the black vehicle were transported by EMS to a hospital and no other injuries were reported. According to an update posted to the X social media platform on April 29, one of the occupants of the black vehicle, identified only as a

Shafer said he’s excited about the marker and that it was a good experience working with the Historical Commission. It took around six to eight months to gather all the needed information.
“As Paul Harvey said, now we know the rest of the story,” Shafer said. “They found out some things. He read off some things that I didn’t realize.”
Some archived papers were housed at the post.
Shafer said they’re happy to be there at the location on Jefferson Avenue, north of 11 Mile Road. He hopes the post continues on for more years and that they’ll be there for a long time.
“We have a lot of new members, lot
of younger members, joining that served in Iraq and Afghanistan and Korea and some other conflicts,” Shafer said.
With over 800 members, Shafer said they are still the largest post in Michigan. However, membership has gone down since Shafer joined 25 years ago.
“Just trying to maintain it and have a nice safe place for veterans to be and mingle and have camaraderie,” Shafer said. “And also, we enjoy sharing our property and our building with other nonprofits and people in the city and the nearby communities. It’s almost like an unofficial community center here.”
The post is located at 28404 Jefferson and the marker is placed in the front of the building for residents and others to view.

“Many foot problems in people with diabetes occur when injuries and infections go unnoticed and untreated. Healing can be delayed due to decreased feeling in the feet (neuropathy) and poor circulation. I will evaluate your feet regularly to detect any changes early, before they become a problem. Call me for an appointment and I will work with you to keep your feet healthy.”

Shores Historical Commission chair, unveils the new marker at the Cpl. Walter F. Bruce Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1146.

ing. There were also occasionally people who drove by to yell their support for Trump or yell obscenities at the crowd.
While many held up signs with the phrase “I Dissent,” there were a variety of messages displayed from Ukrainian solidarity to warnings of creeping authoritarianism. Some attendees wore black to symbolize loss.
Jon Halock, a Roseville resident, said Trump and his supporters have prioritized an earlier ideal of the American family, crowding out the LGBTQIA+ community. He ties this narrow vision of a preferred American into authoritarian movements of the past.
“I think trans people are under attack,” Halock said. “If we don’t have people out here doing this type of stuff, trans people are going to be the number one target. They can’t be. We have to put all Americans first, even conservatives. They deserve a right to be here and they need to understand so do we.”
Lisa Hile, who dressed in a cloak seen on the television show “The Handmaid’s Tale,” held up a sign that said “Unity is the Only Way.” Hile is from Lapeer and is a member of the Rural Caucus of the Michigan Democratic Party. She came to stand against the politics of division and to “wake up” people.
“The reality is unity is the only way,” she said. “We need to lift up the we people and we need to take out the me people. We don’t care what side of the aisle that is at
this point, but I’m looking to uplift the we people.”
Harrison Township resident Janet Stephens started an organization called Macomb Resistance, which gives women a place to talk politics in an often conservative county. She came out to the protest because she was concerned about education, women’s rights, LGBTQIA+ rights and voting rights. Across the political divide, Stephens hopes there are some issues that can unite women.
“There’s a lot of things we have in common, especially women,” Stephens said. “Even though we aren’t on the same side, we still are women and now your children cannot have an abortion in certain states.”
Randy and Linda Priest traveled from Belleville to protest. They helped start a local chapter of Indivisible, a nonprofit that advocates for progressive causes. Linda is on Belleville’s library board and Randy is on the city council. The pair helped organize a recent protest in Canton along similar lines. Randy lamented the division in the country.
“The truth will set you free, but don’t block access to the truth,” Randy said. “A coin has two sides for a reason. Turn it over, talk to people in a civil way. Let them talk for a minute or two without interrupting then give your point of view.”
Linda wishes more young people would get involved.
“Be with your grandparents out there fighting for this country because we love it and we know you love it, but you don’t know how at risk it really is,” Linda said

Supporters of President Donald Trump and his policies mixed with demonstrators outside of his rally at Macomb Community College’s South Campus in Warren April 29.
ity for Michigan officials in recent years. The state switched its focus to securing an F15EX 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
Estate
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 kitchen-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 service-
women and servicemen at Selfridge and all of our military and civilian partners who were engaged in these conversations.”

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.

Side Captain, is one of the event’s organizers. White said she felt alone after Trump’s 2024 election, but when she attended a 50501 protest in Lansing, she realized there were other people who felt the same way.
“I got hungry for that immediately and started organizing more,” the Madison Heights resident said.
White said one issue that motivates her to activism is the dismantling of the Department of Education. Her daughter is autistic and attends a school funded by the department.
“I don’t think a lot of people understand that what the DOE did was take care of children with special needs,” she said.
White said face-to-face interactions are more constructive than online discourse.
“Even when I meet a counterprotestor, we’re able to have a conversation with each other on a human level,” she said. “Protests like this are just a jumping off point for action. I’ve been able to reach out into the mutual aid sphere through protesting like this. It doesn’t have to all be about holding signs, it can be so much more if you want it to be.”
