City picks new garbage hauler, expands social district

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

MOUNT CLEMENS — Goodbye green trucks, hello yellow.

Mount Clemens residents will soon see Priority Waste’s trucks rolling down their streets after the City Commission granted the company a contract as its residential waste hauler on June 5.

“Everything will be exactly the same other than it will be a different contractor picking it up,” Public Services Director Jeffery Wood said.

Priority Waste’s contract lasts for five years, ending on June 18, 2028, at about $826,050 per year.

Included in the contract is solid mixed waste collection and disposal, street litter containers, yard waste collection and disposal, and recycling collection and disposal. The switch to Priority will mean a slight increase in the annual cost of waste services per household, starting with $148.43 in the first year of the contract and ending at $167.57. The current annual cost under GFL Enviromental’s contract is $133.36.

The commission explored including garbage and recycling bins as part of the contract, though adding

MOUNT CLEMENS — While the COVID-19 pandemic affected everyone, art capturing the feelings and effects of this period is just beginning to be explored.

One project looking to illustrate the experience of this era is the traveling art show “Let’s Zoom!” The show makes its final stop at the Anton Art Center from June 3 to July 5.

“Since about late 2020, early 2021, it was first put together by a metro Detroit artist named Marta Carvajal,” said Stephanie Hazzard, exhibition manager for the Anton Art Center. “Initially, she got in touch with another artist, her name is Amanda Koss, and they got together and they molded the project from there for a couple years.”

The Carvajal-Koss duo took inspiration from the limiting confines of a video call screen and put out a call for artists to create a self-portrait that could be presented via a 12-by-12-inch canvas.

“I put a call for art out throughout our artist communities, just posting on social media,” Koss said. “I had an email list I shared that to.”

Trustees address noise and food truck ordinances, park projects

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Various items pertaining to life in the township were addressed by elected officials at the Clinton Township Board of Trustees meeting on June 12.

One item discussed that would affect everyone in Clinton Township is a new noise ordinance, which was introduced for a public hearing. As introduced, the ordinance stated loud noises generally could not be made from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. It specifical-

ly mentioned no landscaping machinery (such as lawnmowers) from 9 p.m. to 7 a.m., and no nongovernmental construction projects near residential areas from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Monday through Friday and 6 p.m. to 9 a.m. on Saturday and Sunday.

Trustee Tammy Patton pointed out the longer hours for the landscaping times compared to the standard 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. times. That led Trustee Julie Matuzak to recommend bringing landscaping into the same allowable times as construction.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — The Harrison Township Board of Trustees turned its attention to the Fire Department at the board’s June 12 meeting, focusing on both personnel and equipment needs of the department.

First up was the hiring of a new Harrison Township Fire Department firefighter/paramedic, Colton Ociepka, who came into the position with much enthusiasm from the fire chief.

“We had an excellent candidate apply,” Harrison Township Fire Chief David Bostater said. “We put him through an oral board interview. He had a composite score of 90.3. He’s fresh out of the fire academy in Macomb. He’s also fresh out of paramedic school. He’s pretty green but also did ride-alongs with us in the Fire Department, and he was really impressed by how we operate as a fire department. He wants to work exclusively in Harrison Township and for Harrison Township Fire Department after having done ride-alongs with other communities, so that’s a real feather in the cap for all of our firefighters.”

Ociepka’s offer of employment — depending on his acceptance of the offer, passing a physical, passing background checks and completing a probationary period — comes at a time when the department has four firefighters who are nearing retirement eligibility and

‘PARTNERS IN PUBLIC ART’

Work has begun at the Mount Clemens Fire Department on a mural. Part of the DIA’s Partners in Public Art program, the mural is by local artists and mother-daughter duo Alana and Angelika Wynes.

“The Anton Art Center is excited to partner with the DIA and City of Mount Clemens to bring this new mural to the side of our local fire station,” said Phil Gilchrist, executive director of the Anton Art Center and treasurer of the Macomb County Art Institute Authority, in a statement. “Public art like this can help a community develop a sense of pride in place and build community through creative expression, and we are proud to play a part here in our hometown.”

The Partners in Public Art program works with communities to create art in highly visible places in order for residents to form a stronger sense of community through the experience of engaging with art in their area.

Chippewa boys track and field claims regional title TEAM FINISHES SECOND AT STATE FINALS

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Chippewa Valley boys track and field has progressed in every phase each season as they inch one step closer to a state title.

Finishing 28th at the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state finals just two seasons ago in 2021, Chippewa Valley was seeking their second-straight top-three finish behind junior sensation Shamar Heard this year.

Moving up one spot from their 2022 finish, Heard’s state title in the 400-meter and Chippewa Valley’s first place 4x200 meter relay finish led by Heard, junior Noah Morris, junior Chris Estell and senior Jonas Morris propelled Chippewa Valley to a state finals runner-up finish on June 3 at Rockford High School. The 4x200 relay squad also earned third in the 4x400 relay.

“I was really pleased with how our kids performed,” Chippewa Valley coach Terry Wilson said. “They were really unified and they set some goals for themselves. For the most part, they achieved their goals.”

Heard continued his state finals dominance this season

following state titles in the 100 and 200-meter in 2022. Only in his junior season, Heard will look to be a state champion for his third-straight season next year.

Heard was also regional champion this season in the 400-meter and led the 4x200 state-title-winning relay team to a regional title as well.

“He’s cut from a different cloth,” Wilson said. “He’s very technical in what he does. Let’s say we’re running a 200, and we want to get at a 24 and he comes in at a 23. He’ll come back and say before we even tell him the time, ‘I felt like I was a little fast.’ We’re like, ‘Yeah, you were a little fast.’”

With Heard running the 400-meter, Noah Morris made his mark this season in the 100 and 200-meter events.

Taking first in both the 100 and 200-meter at the MHSAA Region 10 championship on May 19 at Macomb Township’s Dakota High School, Morris’ progression this season played a vital role in Chippewa Valley’s regional title win.

Wilson said Morris, who finished seventh and fifth in the 100- and 200-meter, respectively, at the state finals, has improved this season due to his work ethic.

“He made extreme steps this year,” Wilson said. “He qualified for the 100 and finished seventh, he qualified for the 200, and he ran on both relays. He’s been working his butt off since the last state meet up to this past weekend. It’s

bins increased costs for both GFL and Priority by about $320,000 and $1.1 million, respectively.

“Given the increase, I certainly don’t want to,” Commissioner Laura Fournier said during the discussion about adding carts.

Access to carts was another concern about adding them to the contracts.

Residents are still able to use their own cans. The trash pickup schedule remains the same as before. Residents are still able to dispose of bulk items. Priority’s contract begins June 19.

Social district newcomer

The Oasis social district will likely see a new face soon as the City Commission expressed its support for New Age Noodles to participate in the district.

Commissioners unanimously approved the Asian food restaurant’s social district permit, sending it to the Michigan Liquor Control Commission for final approval.

are expected to do so. Given the challenging environment for hiring firefighters, trustees approved a memorandum of understanding put forth by the International Association of Fire Fighters local 1737 to address the incoming period of minimum staffing.

Under the memorandum approved by the board, firefighters will be eligible for overtime pay rates for all overtime hours worked. This is a departure from what is normally in the collective bargaining agreement, which only allows for overtime pay after working 200 hours within 28 days.

“This is an incentive to encourage folks coming in on their days off because they recognize that during these critical staffing times they will be paid at the time-and-a-half rate,” Harrison Township Supervisor Ken Verkest said.

The memorandum will remain in effect until Dec. 31, during which time it will be determined how much the overtime incentives cost in case they are added to future collective bargaining agreements.

Finally, the board approved repairs to

“It’ll be nice to have another establishment, especially on that end of the city,” Mayor Laura Kropp said.

Commissioners expanded the social district’s borders at the May 15 meeting, adding New Age Noodles to the list of downtown establishments eligible for participation in the district.

City manager contract approved

Interim City Manager Gregg Shipman is interim no more, as the City Commission approved a contract at $110,000 per year with Shipman to serve as the city’s full-time manager.

Currently the city’s fire chief since 2020, Shipman will leave the Mount Clemens Fire Department’s top spot once a new chief is found.

“It is not an easy position to be the city manager; your feet are to the fire,” Kropp said.

“I think you apparently like fire, so thank you very much for signing up for this job.”

Shipman’s contract as city manager lasts for three years ending on May 31, 2026. For that time, Shipman will work as an independent contractor. the department’s Engine 2. Normally the reserve engine, a torsion arm control failure rendered the Pierce engine inoperable.

“It’s a proprietary part by Pierce Manufacturing,” Bostater said. “They had one in stock. We had them put it on hold immediately.”

The repair will be performed by R&R Fire Truck Repair Inc. in Northville for just under $6,100, with the motion funding the repairs allowing for work up to $7,000.

Other business

In other business addressed on June 12, trustees set aside up to $10,000 for drain cleanouts in the township. Macomb County Deputy Public Works Commissioner Dan Acciavatti estimated the cost of drain cleanouts for 2023 at between $10,000 and $15,000.

The township’s contract with website host Revize was also renewed for the next five years for a $2,000 annual fee. Revize will perform a refresh of the township’s website to make sure everything works properly.

Kent Communications Inc. will be paid up to $21,000 to print and mail the township’s tax bills and associated newsletters for the 2023 tax billing year.

CITIES AND ORGANIZATIONS WORK TO MEET OVERWHELMING DEMAND FOR SENIOR HOME/CHORE SERVICES

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Karyn Curro, the CEO of Interfaith Volunteer Services, said she first noticed the need while working with people in nursing homes over 31 years ago.

“I found that a lot of people who were living in nursing homes didn’t necessarily want to be there and, with a little extra help, they could stay in their own homes for longer and perhaps forever,” said Curro.

She said that some people were not in the nursing home for medical care but simply because they couldn’t take care of their daily needs at home. She said often they just needed help with daily housekeeping or transportation to appointments, or they were lonely.

However, when she started researching organizations that provided these types of services, she found there were a lot of gaps and approached the Area Agency on Aging, who was in the process of launching what would become IVC. Initially, IVC was started by a fiscal grant received by Catholic Charities of Macomb in 1992. In 1994 it became an independent 501(c)3.

IVC offers aid to seniors throughout Macomb county and parts of Oakland and St. Clair counties. The organization pairs seniors with volunteers to help them achieve a desired task. Curro said they are able to help hundreds of seniors a year with home chores, but she stresses that there is no guarantee that they will be able to assist with any given task.

“We are an all-volunteer organization,” said Curro. “We do have some paid staff in the office who are running the program, but all services are provided by volunteers. So that limits what we can do. … Since we’re an all-volunteer program, if someone calls in for help, regardless of how much they might need that help, we can’t guarantee we can give them help. … It just depends if we have a volunteer (with that skill set) in that area.”

The types of services that IVC routinely provides include yard work like trimming bushes, raking leaves and pulling weeds; cleaning windows, and changing screens and storm windows out; sweeping garages; and

even taking the trash to the curb.

It also provides transportation to and from doctor appointments and grocery stores, as well as basic housekeeping, decluttering and organizing of rooms or closets, doing laundry, and washing dishes, along with minor home repairs such as plumbing, electrical and carpentry work, if they are small simple fixes.

“Regular housekeeping is a big need, because a lot of times people can manage in their own home, but they can’t do all the chores to keep up their home safely,” said Curro of Interfaith Volunteer Services, based in Roseville. “If you start having mobility issues, it’s much more difficult to clean a bathtub or a shower and do some of the heavier cleaning in your house. I think that is a real ongoing need that a lot of people have, and to hire a cleaning service is usually incredibly expensive for someone of a very limited income.”

The one service that they don’t provide frequently is lawn mowing services, because of the amount of equipment necessary to do so. However, the service might be possible if the person requesting it has a working lawn mower.

“We tend to describe the types of things we can do as something that you would ask a neighbor for help for. You know we don’t do anything too extensive. We don’t take on major repairs and renovations,” Curro said.

“You might be comfortable having your neighbor rake your leaves for you, but you wouldn’t ask them to put a new roof on your house. It’s kind of the neighbor helping neighbor level of services that we are able to provide.”

Last year the organization served close to 500 people and their families, approximately 300 of whom were in Macomb County, while 200 were in Oakland and St. Clair counties. Curro said the reason for that is simply the amount of volunteers they have available in each area. Services are not provided on a daily basis, but some services are provided once or twice a month, depending on the need.

IVC does not have any income requirements but tends to focus its service offerings on those who would not otherwise be able to afford the help and who don’t have family to

assist them.

“We are really trying to get to the people that are isolated and impoverished and just really need a helping hand, largely because our volunteers are doing this just from the kindness of their own hearts, and they want to help the people in the greatest need,” said Curro.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services also offers a few programs to help seniors with chores such as seasonal yard cleanup and the Handy Helpers Program.

The Handy Helper program offers light repair services such as replacing light bulbs, door locks, window catches, faucet washers and faucets. Program workers will also install screens, storm windows, window shades, curtain rods and weather stripping around doors, and caulk windows and repair furniture. Workers will provide heavy-duty cleaning of appliances, carpets and rugs. They scrub floors, wash walls, and clean interior windows that do not require a ladder to reach. They provide pest control and rodent services (except bed bugs) and install safety devices for seniors such as grip bars and bath chairs.

The Macomb County Office of Senior Services offers spring, summer and fall yard cleanup services. Volunteers rake leaves, clean flower beds, trim branches, wash exterior windows, and the like.

They do not provide snow removal services and will only provide lawn mowing services on a one-time basis if there is an “urgent need.”

However, some landscaping companies, such as Workhorse Services Lawncare and Landscaping, offer seniors a discount on lawn maintenance. Norm “Workhorse” Adams Sr., the owner of Workhorse Services, said seniors comprise about 80% of his busi-

ness. He said that he always tries to give seniors a 10% discount on their lawn services.

He offers lawn mowing, yard cleanup, small tree removal, bush and hedge trimming, etc.

“It’s kind of rewarding when you are able to help people who can’t help themselves,” Adams said.

One of his clients is an elderly couple; the man has cancer, and although he would like to cut the grass, he just physically can’t do it anymore. Adams said that the man will start to cut a path, and the wife will call Adams in to finish the job. “So, I really understand the problem that they go through.”

Adams, 55, said he understands seniors more than most people. He has had personal experience with struggling to find someone to help his aging mother with simple things around her home and to take her to her appointments, as well as someone his mother could trust.

“I pay (a caregiver) $25 an hour, but what she does is priceless, because they built a bond, and I don’t know what I would do without her,” Adams said of the woman who helps him with his mom.

Adams services Oakland County residents in Southfield, Eastpointe and Oak Park. He can be reached at (313)-415-0274.

To get services from the Macomb County Office of Senior Services you must be 60 or older and live in Macomb County. The services are offered free of charge, but donations/contributions are appreciated. Director Sheila Cote said there are currently only three part-time workers handling the tasks requested through the Handy Helper program. Due to the popularity of the program and limited funding, they are only able to provide a limited number of services, and the programs See SENIORS on page 11A

are waitlisted. There are currently 150 people on the list for handyman services and 100 people desiring spring/summer yard cleanup, which runs through the end of June.

Cote said that they are doing their best to get through the entire list by the end of the month. However, those who do not get yard service this season will be put at the top of the list for fall yard cleanup.

“Our mission is to support seniors so that they can age in place and stay in their homes longer. And a lot of times they just need a little extra help,” said Cote. “They need somebody to fix a few things around their house or make it more comfortable for them.”

Cote said seniors are often so thankful for the volunteers who help them to maintain their homes and yards.

“It makes them feel so good that their yard looks nice. It really boosts their spirits when their house is looking nice. A lot of seniors worry about that. They can’t get to the lawn like they used to. They can’t trim their bushes. They can’t clean their yard. So, they feel self-conscious and upset that they’re not able to do that. So, when we’re able to send a team out there to do it, it just does wonders for their spirit.”

IVS and the Macomb County Office of Senior Services both provide “friend” services as well. IVS will send a volunteer to a seniors home as a “friendly visitor” to provide companionship, and the Office of Senior Services has “Friendly Callers” who will contact a senior via phone a couple of times a week to simply check in on them.

“It’s a much-needed program,” Cote

said. “Our goal is to assist seniors to live independently and age in place, but, unfortunately, the funding isn’t enough to do that with every senior in Macomb County, so we try our best to get to everybody, but, unfortunately, it’s a funding issue. There just isn’t enough funding to meet the need at this time.”

A limited number of volunteers greatly limits the number of people who can be serviced. According to Curro, the number of volunteers working for IVC has dropped dramatically since the pandemic. She said they used to have approximately 600 volunteers, whereas today they have around 350.

“As much as we publicize services, we can’t help anybody if we don’t get the volunteers,” said Curro. Cote stressed that they appreciate the large organizations who volunteered their time to help with yard clean up this season, but they can always use more volunteers to be able to get to all those who are on the waiting list.

“The population is still continuing to age, so there are more people with these types of needs,” said Curro.

For more information on IVC, to obtain services or volunteer with IVC, call (586) 757-5551 or visit IVCinfo.org. To obtain services or volunteer with MCOS call (586) 469-5228 or visit.

Many other cities and communities throughout Oakland and Macomb Counties have home chore programs and offerings. To find out what your community has to offer, contact your city offices or senior center.

Places such as IVC are part of the National Volunteer Caregiving Network — a coalition of caregiving communities throughout the nation. If your city does not have any offerings, you can go to Nvcnetwork.org to find additional resources.

Clinton from page 3A

Trustees discussed how the limits would affect landscaping companies and how the ordinance would be enforced.

“Oftentimes, it means they go out and give a warning first, say, ‘Hey, we got some complaints. Can you cease and desist the noise because it’s a problem for your neighbors?’” said Clinton Township Treasurer Paul Gieleghem. “Then, if they have to come out a second time, that’s when they have to enforce it.”

Gieleghem expressed his satisfaction with the ordinance as it was presented to the board, followed by Township Supervisor Robert Cannon’s suggestion that the ordinance go into effect as presented.

“I’m with Mr. Gieleghem,” Cannon said. “I think we should give this a try and then come back to it if it doesn’t work.”

Trustees will take a final vote on the ordinance at the July 26 meeting.

Food truck changes

After about a year of being in effect, the township’s food truck ordinance is undergoing a number of changes.

The $25 application fee is being removed, the fire department is taking over application and inspection fee collection from the clerk’s office, and inspection fees will not be waived going forward.

Though it was not stated in the ordinance or the fee-adjusting resolution, a memo by Gieleghem, read aloud by Clinton Township Clerk Kim Meltzer, mentioned that the supervisor’s office and Community Relations & Media Services Department will make a food truck page for the township website to help truck operators find the information they need to do business in Clinton Township.

“I wish other communities that are not doing anything would take a look at some of the things we’re trying to do, because it is very difficult for us to be only one sometimes out front,” Cannon said.

Parks projects

Trustees also approved a change in scope for the Prince Drewry Park pathway project, as contractor Best Asphalt Inc. is donating fill soil from another project to help level 3.5 acres of the park’s fields.

“This is a major improvement to Prince Drewry Park,” Matuzak said. “Prince Drewry Park was built on a landfill that shifts

— NOW OPEN —

Octopus’s Beer Garden PEACE, LOVE & BEER

and moves and changes; and when you’re on the fields, there are dips and dives; and when it rains, there are puddles. The fact that this contractor was willing to work with us to make a substantial donation to improve this park is unbelievably good.”

The soil will be used to level out the northern end of the park for football and soccer uses. Transportation, regrading, furnishing and installation of the soil will be done at no cost to the township, while $51,250 will be added to the project cost for hydroseed restoration, watering and soil testing.

While the project is expected to improve park conditions once completed, two groups will be inconvenienced by the work in the short term. The Quinn Road Reunion will have to work around the park’s condition as it may be at the time of the event, while the QRD Tarheels youth football program will need a new practice field for the time being. The township will work with the Tarheels to find a new field, with the Clinton Township Housing Commission’s fields being the most likely site.

Trustees also accepted a $100,000 grant from the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and the Environmental Protection Agency to help fund improvements to the parking lot at Joy Park.

from page 1A

Between online posts, media exposure and word of mouth, Carvajal and Koss attracted more than 70 artists of various ages, styles and professional backgrounds to create portraits for the show.

“Some went very literal with what was actually going on in their lives, and some kind of just created a snapshot,” Koss said.

“We have one child, he created a snapshot of his daily life and how that changed. It showed him at his computer doing schoolwork.

Christina Haylett did a piece where her cat is crawling all over her while she’s trying to do a Zoom call.”

Other artists took a more abstract approach, like Dione Tripp’s colorful springfilled submission and Carol Kellogg’s fiber art piece for the project.

“She created a fiber art piece, and she left the head open,” Koss said. “You can go into Anton and pull the brain out, and there’s a little box she created as the brain. And in there she created little fabric pictures and each one is supposed to be (Kellogg’s) thoughts and curiosity in the artist, and every single piece of fabric she used has some type of symbolism.”

Some of the fabric in Kellogg’s piece was sourced from a map of Michigan, and the piece is mounted to the canvas with buttons from her late husband’s shirt.

“As it is traveling around, he is traveling

really paid off and it showed for him.”

A memorable finish for Jonas Morris, the senior, a Purdue University Fort Wayne commit, was able to end his high school career as a state champion alongside his brother Noah. It was a moment the two will never forget.

“That’s a memory I will always hold onto because that might be the last time, and we don’t know that and we’re not sure, but it’s really a time I’ll remember,” Noah Morris said.

Jonas Morris finished second in the 400-meter, junior Jack DeWaele finished third in the 3200-meter and senior Kaelin Shaw finished first in long jump at regionals. Chippewa Valley seniors Shaw, Darren Hawkins and Justin Parker teamed up with sophomore Jailen Thomas to take second in the 4x100.

Chippewa Valley’s impressive 2023 campaign also included their second-straight Macomb Area Conference Red league meet title, edging Macomb Dakota by one point on

around with her,” Koss said.

The works in “Let’s Zoom!” will not travel around much longer soon. The Anton Art Center exhibit is the last stop on this 10show tour, and its closing will mark the end of Koss’ first curated show.

“Running the show was a lot more work than I initially anticipated, but I do feel it was very rewarding in the sense of the unity and connection and friendships that we all built together,” Koss said. “We had three totes that we’ve been dragging around for about three years now, storing it, creating tags, doing all of the proposals … it’s been a labor of love for sure.

Art from the show will be either returned to the artists or sold in bulk if a buyer can be found. Koss says Marygrove College has expressed interest in the collection.

Until the doors close on July 5, visitors can glimpse into the lives of artists in a pandemic at the Anton Art Center from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday with free admission.

More information about the Anton Art Center can be found at theartcenter.org.

Macomb Township-based Koss, who works as an abstract impressionist and has since been selected to curate shows and collections for Crain’s Communications and Amazon, can be reached for inquiries at amandakossart@gmail.com. Her work can be found at www.amandakossart.com while Carvajal’s can be found at www.martacarvajal.art.

May 16 at Grosse Pointe South High School.

Inching one step closer to a state title, Chippewa Valley hopes consistency is key as their loaded senior class enters the 2024 season with one goal in mind.

“I think they’re looking pretty good going into next season even though I’m not going to be there,” Jonas Morris said. “You got Noah, Shamar and Karol. You got a lot of good assets to the team that’s going to be running people down.”

One 2024 senior with something to prove is Karol Kozlowski, who was a part of Chippewa Valley’s 4x400 relay team that finished sixth at the 2022 MHSAA state finals.

Sidelined by injury this season, Wilson said he expects Kozlowski and the rest of the squad to come into next season extremely motivated.

“I’m looking for him (Kozlowski) to do big things,” Wilson said. “He struggled all winter trying to figure out what was wrong with him, and I think within the last two and a half weeks they narrowed it down to what his issue was. I think once he gets back, he’ll have a huge year next year. I think our kids will be a little more hungry next year because we came so close.”

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A 26-year-old Detroit man is said to have tampered with beverages at the McDonald’s at 18201 Mack Ave. in Detroit and then did the same with a water bottle at Village Food Market across the street at around 9:15 a.m. May 29.

According to a police report, the suspect poured an unknown substance into beverages in an employees-only area at McDonald’s just before they were going to be served to customers. He is then said to have opened a bottle of water for sale at Village Market and poured something in it that turned the water pink.

The suspect told police that he needed to give people “the cure” and was following a directive from his god to add this substance to beverages to heal people. The suspect was cited for retail fraud for taking the water bottle and tampering with it without paying for it, and he was transported to a nearby hospital for a psychological evaluation.

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — A resident in the 500 block of Heather Lane filed a report with police May 31 after becoming the victim of an unknown con artist or con artists. In February, the victim said she was contacted by an unknown male suspect who claimed he was Todd Sloane, senior vice president of Publishers Clearing House. The suspect told the victim she had won $5.5 million but needed to wire cash to pay for taxes on the winnings before claiming the jackpot.

The victim made seven cash transfers over a six-week period totaling $102,000 that were wired to the suspect. In March, the suspect — who police said appears to be in Connecticut — instructed the victim to purchase and send a Rolex watch to an address in New York. Police said the watch was received and signed for by a different suspect March 21. The victim has since changed all her accounts and gotten an identity theft monitoring service, police said.

Women get into fight at store

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 43-year-old Harrison Township woman and a 60-year-old Grosse Pointe City woman could be facing assault and battery charges after police said they got into a physical confrontation at The Village Kroger store at around 9 p.m. May 31. A police report states that the fight stemmed from the actions of the daughter of one of the suspects.

Someone tries to duplicate woman’s debit card

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 11 a.m. May 13, a woman came to the Police Department to file a fraud report. She stated that she had received a call from

her bank May 10 informing her that someone was trying to duplicate her debit card. The bank also advised her that someone was trying to change her personal information that was associated with her bank account. Upon talking to the bank, it was discovered that someone had tried to charge more than $9,000 worth of purchases on her cards, but the transactions were all declined.

Breaking and entering, theft reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:50 a.m. on May 25, a report was made about a breaking and entering and theft that occurred between 2:50 a.m. and 3:10 a.m. on the same day in the 21000 block of Madison Street.

Upon arrival at the listed location, two officers spoke with the victim, a 35-year-old man, who said when he woke up that morning, he discovered someone had gone into his garage and taken one of his ATVs. The man had posted the ATV for sale on Facebook Marketplace, but he did not recall any suspicious activity regarding the post.

The garage had been left closed but with the pedestrian door unlocked. Behind the garage, a large hole was cut into the fence. It appeared the driveway was too congested with cars and there was not enough room to get through.

An officer spoke with a neighbor, a 65-year-old man, who said that at around 3 a.m., a camera in his backyard captured two male subjects pushing the ATV out of the yard and down the driveway.

The victim did not notice any other belongings missing from the garage. While going back to the station to pick up equipment, an officer located the stolen ATV on Madison Street. The ATV did not appear to have any damage but was missing the ignition key.

The ATV was dusted for fingerprints and the victim was notified.

Ear wax remover, cane stolen from drugstore

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to a drugstore along Van Dyke Avenue May 20 and heard from a manager that a heavyset woman in her 20s or 30s wanted to return a medical ear wax remover and a foldable walking cane, without a receipt, that she claimed she had bought earlier from another store location.

The manager reportedly told the woman to return to the original store from which the items had allegedly been bought. Store staff reportedly added that a cane and ear wax remover were missing from their shelves.

Surveillance footage reportedly showed the suspect going into the store with an empty plastic bag and then being in the section where the stolen items are shelved. Police said they have no leads and took no other action.
