Southfield priest launches ongoing gun buyback program
BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD/BERKLEY — Rev. Chris Yaw, rector of St. David’s Episcopal Church in Southfield, announced the launch of Disamory Ministries on April 29. The nonprofit Christian ministry is “seeking to care for neighbors by providing gun buyback opportunities,” coupling thoughts and prayers with action to get unwanted guns off the streets.
“I stand before you with a very heavy heart, a heart weighed down with the senseless suffering of too many gun violence victims in our country,» said Yaw, the president of Disamory Ministries, at the press conference. “It is a nation where the cries of parents over their children, two of whom are shot every hour in the U.S., are too often heard. It is the wails of family members who discover yet another victim has died of a self-inflicted gunshot, the most common form of gun violence in America, and it is the general sobbing of the victim of a crime committed with a stolen firearm, as more than half of them are.”
Yaw has been an activist for gun buybacks, having appeared on “The Daily Show” and in a New York Times article that found the guns collected at buybacks in Flint and Southfield were not destroyed but were instead recycled and resold. Additionally, since 2022, St. David’s Episcopal has

ald 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 Na-
tional 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

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.”

City council appoints new fire chief, deputy chief
SOUTHFIELD — The Southfield City Council approved the appointments of Fire Chief Joey Thorington and Deputy Fire Chief Mark Jackson at its April 28 meeting.
A press release from the city outlines Thorington’s experience. He retired from the Dearborn Fire Department after 27 years, with his last three years serving as the department’s chief. Chief Thorington holds a bachelor’s degree from Central Michigan University and a master’s degree from Eastern Michigan University. He also has a Fire Staff and Command certification from Eastern Michigan University and an Executive Fire Officer certification from the National Fire Academy.
Jackson previously served 26 years at the Detroit Fire Department, most recently as a lieutenant, according to the release. In this role, he was primarily responsible for Fire Suppression and Rescue while supervising and teaching. He has experience in a number of roles, ranging from professional emergency manager to hazardous materials technician. Jackson earned two degrees at Cleary University: A Master of Business Administration and a Bachelor of Science degree in Leadership and Public Safety.
“Fire Chief Thorington has a strong desire to work with our management team to further the goals and objectives of our elected officials — namely to keep Southfield residents safe and secure,” Zorn said in a press release. “I am confident that Fire Chief Thorington and Deputy Fire Chief Mark Jackson will continue to do an excellent job in maintaining the Southfield standard of excellence in the delivery of fire and EMS services.”

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 priority 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 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-to-ground 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 re-
flected 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.”

hosted gun buyback events that have disposed of more than 650 firearms.
“We’re not waiting for our government to do something. We’re not waiting for our hospitals to do something. We’re not waiting for our institutions to do something. Today, we, the people, are taking decisive action to end the proliferation of dangerous firearms in our communities. Today, we are here to change America’s firearm disposal habits,” Yaw said, adding that Disamory Ministries will be the nation’s first ongoing gun buyback.
The mission was supported by other local religious leaders, including Rabbi Aaron Starr, spiritual leader of Congregation Shaarey Zedek in Southfield; Pastor Barry Randolph from Church of Messiah in Detroit, who started the Silence the Violence March in honor of gun violence victims in 2007; Rt. Rev. Bonnie A. Perry, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of Michigan and a co-convener of Bishops United Against Gun Violence; and the Rev. Anders Edstrom, the pastor of Greenfield Presbyterian Church where Disamory Ministries will operate.
Local government officials, such as
Berkley Councilman Dennis Hennen and Southfield Mayor Ken Siver, spoke in support of the nonprofit. Siver shared the story of a friend whose murder he witnessed.
“I can tell you I am very anti-gun, period. And my real dislike for guns happened 51 years ago while in Detroit on the street, meeting a friend. A mugging took place, and my friend was shot dead, murdered right from my eyes. It’s something I’ve never gotten over. To be right there and have someone shot through the heart and life of a 27-yearold man is over,” he said.
Siver added, “I applaud Father Yaw for his determination on this program, and we support it. I will spread the word that every Friday, we’ll be here to collect for those who don’t want these weapons.”
West Bloomfield resident and member of St. David’s Episcopal Church, Mary Bensmiller, oversees the “guns and crafts” portion of the program, where the broken gun pieces are used to create art. She said the point of making art out of the broken gun pieces is “to make something positive and beautiful to come out of a gun instead of something destructive.”
Bensmiller shared a story of a woman whose mother had Alzheimer’s and passed away:

for the United States. It’s nice to see our president on TV every day.”
For Baker, a former Democrat, one of the biggest issues for him is the Mexico border, which he said is now “very secure.”
“He’s doing a good job getting rid of the people coming here illegally. Those people are gang leaders and violent people,” Baker said. “As long as you (come here) the right way, there’s no problem.”
Shah Mehdi, of Prentice, Wisconsin, and Norma Holm, of Hammond, Indiana, met a few years ago at a Trump rally. They keep in touch, and both made it to Macomb for the rally.
“I’m here to speak for my nine grandchildren,” Holm, 55, said. “I want them to have the same freedoms I had growing up. Liberalism is confusing to them. The woke agenda has affected the kids.”
Holm remembers seeing Trump appear on talk shows in the 1980s, including “The Oprah Winfrey Show” about what he would do “to help our country get stronger” if he ever ran for president.
“He’s executing that plan,” Holm said. “These tariffs aren’t going to be fine overnight, but it’s going to benefit us in the long run.”
Rob Cortis, of Livonia, brought the “Trump Unity Bridge” to the college campus. He drives the patriotic float across the country in an effort to unite it.
“It’s to spread the message of unity through Donald Trump. Since 2015, his campaign is to put America first,” Cortis said. “There are more people that like him that don’t, and the mainstream media doesn’t get the word out. They don’t tell the good side of the story. They don’t tell how good the tariffs work, how good the economy works.”
Hundreds gather to protest Trump
Hundreds of protestors fanned out on the corner of Hayes and 12 Mile roads to show their dissatisfaction with Trump. There was the persistent sound of car horns honking. 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
“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.

ShowLTU CoAD 2025 showcases work from past, present students
SOUTHFIELD — For the fourth year, past and present Lawrence Technological University’s College of Architecture and Design students had a chance to showcase their work.
“ShowLTU CoAD embraces the university’s core philosophy of theory and practice by presenting new, original work and concepts that will shape the future of the industry,” a press release from Prologue states.
The exhibition, dubbed ShowLTU CoAD 2025, highlighted 250 works by “graduating students, select undergraduate projects and a digital showcase of works by alumni,” the release states. It took place on May 8 at the College of Architecture and Design’s Building 3 in Southfield.
“The energy and ambition of the students truly make this event special,” Lilian Crum, Associate Dean of LTU’s College of Architecture and Design, said in the release. “It’s not only a celebration of their academic journey, but a meaningful bridge between education and industry.”
The event featured a lecture by Billie Tsien, an architect and founding partner at New York-based Tod Williams Billie Tsien Architects.
Crum noted that the event served as a way for professionals to make connections in the release.
“This is a valuable opportunity to connect with the next generation of creative professionals and see how their ideas are already impacting the future of architecture and design,” she said.

STAR LINCOLN: WHERE EVERY JOURNEY BECOMES LEGENDARY AND EVERY RIDE MORE RELAXING.
Since 1970, Star Lincoln has delivered Metro Detroit’s nest luxury vehicles. Founded by the legendary Hoot McInerney, this venerated dealership has curated driving experiences with the “Star Treatment”—where handcrafted American luxury meets personalized service.
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. Features like adaptive suspension, serene cabin acoustics, and ergonomic seating re ect this commitment to passenger well-being.”
Lincoln’s sanctuary philosophy— designing tranquil retreats from stress— is highlighted by a new feature in all 2025 Lincoln Navigator and Nautilus models called Rejuvenate Mode. With a simple touch of a
button on the display screen while parked, this mode activates:
- **Massage seats** that recline to help you relax and recharge
- **Customizable scents** emitted from the dashboard
- **A tranquil display** that transforms into a serene waterfall landscape.
is advanced wellness technology enhances the in-car relaxation experience by adjusting lighting, scent, sound, visuals, air puri cation, and seating for ultimate tranquility.
May is Mental Health Awareness Month in the U.S., and Lincoln’s commitment to “driving peace of mind” arrives at just the right time.
McInerney adds, “You can relax while waiting in line or picking up your kids from school in your ‘Digital Spa on Wheels.’ e system was designed to help you calm down and recharge.”
Lincoln’s focus on wellness as a health-conscious brand sets it apart from competitors. is advantage aligns with the announcement of Employee Pricing for All on all new 2025 Lincoln vehicles: the Corsair, Navigator, Nautilus, and Aviator.
“Consumers are looking for a better driving experience today,” McInerney concludes.
“ e Lincoln interior is superior to the competition in every way— completely di erent. It’s essential for drivers to care for their peace of mind, body, and soul. Come to Star Lincoln, where you’ll be treated like family and a personal friend. You have to drive a new 2025 Lincoln to experience the exciting di erence— you’ll be truly impressed.”
Come celebrate 55 years of the Star Treatment at 24350 W. 12 Mile Road (@ Telegraph) in South eld. Call 248354-4900 or visit www.starlincoln. com for more information on the Lincoln Luxury experience.
