BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Police Chief James Gallagher said 2022 was “an interesting year” for the Police Department.

“It was an interesting year for us, obviously, with the transition of Chief (Phil) Langmeyer — who did so many wonderful things for our agency — to the transition of me becoming chief, learning the role and developing the relationships,” he said.

Along with the chief, three lieutenants, two detectives, one dispatcher and a village officer retired, for a loss of over 200 years of combined service.

To help fill the gap, the Police Department hired five officers, two dispatchers and one animal welfare officer.

“As always, our mission of the Bloomfield Township Police Department is to ‘preserve the peace and protect our community with fairness, integrity, pride and respect,’” said Officer Nick Soley of the Bloomfield Township Police Department, who recently presented the department’s annual report to the Bloomfield Township Board of Trustees.

BIRMINGHAM — The Birmingham Shopping District is presenting a new event, the Rosé Soirée, to support local charity Cap and Conquer.

Birmingham’s Go Pink, Dine and Drink will take place June 5-11 in downtown Birmingham.

“The rosé-themed event was inspired by a group of restaurateurs that came together to bring a new dining event, with a charitable component, downtown this spring,” said Erika Bassett, the BSD’s public relations specialist.

This week-long event is sponsored by the Bank of Ann Arbor Birmingham.

BOARD AIMS TO USE $4.4M IN ARPA FUNDS FOR TOWNSHIP BUILDINGS AND CAMPUS, DISASTER PREP

Photos provided by the Franklin Garden Club

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Bloomfield Township was awarded $4.4 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds, and township officials have recently decided how the money should be used.

Before making their decision, the township asked the public to weigh in via an electronic survey that was sent in March to the 4,800 email addresses that subscribe to the township’s e-newsletter.

The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 is a nearly $2 trillion stimulus bill designed to speed up economic recovery for residents, businesses and governments in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. The federal government made the funds available to communities across the country to assist in recovery efforts. Township Supervisor Dani Walsh noted that the funding cannot be used to pay debt service or pensions, or to replenish any reserves.

Carrie LeZotte, the township’s director of cable and community relations, recently presented the results of the public survey to the Board of Trustees.

“This is the first survey that we have done, so, not only did we hear about ARPA and what the residents want, we also learned about managing a survey,” she said. “This is something that we’ll continue to tweak going forward.”

The township received 409 return surveys, which asked residents to rank seven spending options from highest priority with a number one, to lowest priority at a number seven.

“Those seven choices were determined by how the department heads brought forth projects that they would like to see funded, and they were narrowed down by the trustees,” LeZotte said.

Franklin event to explore local gardens

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

FRANKLIN — While it will take place a couple of weeks later than it usually does, the Franklin Garden Walk is back for another year of beautiful blooms.

The event hosted by the Franklin Garden Club will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. and 6-9 p.m. June 21.

The Franklin Garden Club is hoping for good weather during the event.

There will be six gardens in the walk this year

in Bloomfield Township, Beverly Hills and Birmingham. None of the gardens this year are located in Franklin. Participants in the garden walk will drive from one garden to another. This year, two of the gardens happen to be next door to each other.

Usually, the garden walk occurs earlier in June.

However, in past years, members noticed that the gardens were not as bloomed as they would have been if they waited for a few weeks. The extra time provided by the new date of the walk has allowed the gardens more time to mature on their own.

‘THIS IS THE TEAM’

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — Bloomfield Hills High School’s girls lacrosse program has been a master of consistency the past three seasons.

The Oakland Activities AssociationRed league champions have rattled off threestraight winning seasons and three-straight

BLOOMFIELD HILLS HIGH’S JOURNEY TO STATE FINALS GOES THROUGH A FAMILIAR FOE

trips to the Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 state tournament semifinals.

Only problem, it’s been Groundhog Day the past two trips to the semifinals for Bloomfield Hills (19-3) with back-to-back losses to Brighton High.

After earning a 19-10 win over league rival Birmingham Seaholm June 3 to secure the program’s third-straight regional title,

LEFT: Junior Ella Lucia controls the ball during a practice. RIGHT: Bloomfield Hills celebrates its third-straight regional title in a 19-10 win over Birmingham Seaholm at Troy Athens High School.

Bloomfield Hills was focused on unfinished business as it was scheduled to head into another semifinals matchup against Brighton June 7, after press time, at Fenton High School.

“I think, as a team, we didn’t want to feel that awful feeling of losing in the state semis to Brighton for the third year in a row, so we took what we had last year, which was a great group, and developed the younger girls into the style that we play and just come in with a sense of urgency, focus and just wanting to get to that next step,” junior Ella Lucia said.

This is nowhere near the same Bloomfield Hills team, and Lucia isn’t the same player Brighton remembers from past seasons.

Leading the team with 108 goals on the year, Lucia, a two-time first team all-State honoree, asserted herself as one of the most dominant scorers in the state, showcasing her ability to score wherever and whenever she wants.

“She motivates the rest of the team because she has a motor that does not quit,” See LACROSSE on page 8A

The top-ranked choice, at 27%, was disaster recovery — which township officials said would improve continuity in government and disaster recovery capabilities with enhanced backup, storage and application access for critical community services for an estimated $400,000. Officials said this would enhance disaster recovery capabilities in the event of a tornado, fire, flood, cyber attack, pandemic, terrorist threat or other issues.

Architectural designs for fire station three improvements — estimated to cost around $20,000 — came in second with 23% of residents ranking it as their No. 1 priority. Built in the 1950s and updated in the 1970s, station #3 is not big enough to house current lengths of fire trucks and has no room for additional equipment, township officials said. Having an updated fire station, township officials said, allows the township to improve services to residents with access to the most up-to-date equipment, technology and resources, and also would include male and female changing areas to attract both male and female recruits.

Architectural designs, Walsh noted, are the first step in the station replacement process and allow the township to apply for construction grants for public safety services.

Architectural designs for the remodeling of the police station — estimated to cost $65,000 — came in third with 17% of respondents ranking it as their No. 1 priority. Township officials said the new police station design would allow for modified workstations, the expansion of dispatch services and the addition of an all-female locker room.

At an estimated cost of $700,000, campus security enhancements ranked fourth on the survey with 14% ranking it as their first priority. The security enhancements would include improving video surveillance and building security controls and alarm systems in Bloomfield Township campus facilities.

Coming in fifth was improving records management — at a cost of around $400,000 — with 11% of people ranking it as their No. 1 priority. Township officials said there are 195 years of paper and digital records and documents across various storage areas. The first step would be to create the framework and infrastructure of standardizing how and where all records should

fort.”

Despite the ranking, with a unanimous vote, the Board of Trustees agreed to move forward with issuing a request for proposals to move forward with all seven projects.

“In a perfect world, if all these estimates are correct, there is a chance that we can make all of the (projects happen). No matter where they ranked them, we could fund them,” Walsh said. “The danger is, what do we do if some of these come in much higher than estimated?”

“I would say that we try to do all of them, and if in fact it’s more expensive than what we have, then at that point we can prioritize,” said Trustee Neal Barnett.

Trustee Valerie Murray agreed.

“If we can afford it all, maybe start at the top with the top priority and just work your way down and if you get to the point where you get three quarters of the way down the list then we have to talk about it,” she said. “ But I would say it was a great direction, I was really pleased with the responses.”

Approximately 3.6% of survey respondents ranked replacing the existing outdated on-site phone system as their first priority. There are two options available: a hosted solution, which is estimated to cost around $250,000 the first year, with an annual recurring cost of $135,000; or an on-premise solution at a cost of $450,000-$600,000 the first year, with a $30,000 annual recurring fee.

Upgrades for the township hall auditorium came in last, with 2% ranking it as their first priority. For an estimated $225,000, township officials said they could improve the user experience of community group rentals and public board meetings for both in-person and streamed meetings by upgrading audio and video technology, lighting and seating in the auditorium.

“In short, residents were very positive on updating facilities for public safety, increasing disaster recovery efforts and updating/digitizing records management,” said LeZotte. “I thought it was a successful ef-

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Bloomfield Hills coach Christina Arens said.

“She keeps going no matter how tired she is.

If she got checked really hard in the hand, I can’t even get her to come off the field even if I wanted to because that just motivates her even more.”

Alongside Lucia on the scoring front are seniors Ilana and Marlee Watson, both all-state selections this season, who are 2/3 of Bloomfield Hills’ triplet attack with sophomore Adia Watson.

Marlee, who was sidelined with an injury last season, is a skilled defender to go along with her 35 goals this year, leading the team in caused turnovers. Ilana, on the other hand, is your floor general, dishing out 54 assists this season to go along with her impressive 56 goals.

With that kind of firepower, it’s no secret as to why Bloomfield Hills’ offense is averaging 14 goals per game and 13 games of 15 or more goals.

When the team isn’t exhausting opponents with a barrage of scoring, the defensive unit is as tough as they come, allowing seven goals per game this season behind three-time all-State goalkeeper and junior captain Sydney Butler.

Butler has locked down the goalkeeping position since stepping foot onto Bloomfield Hills, and she’s got a crew of all-State defenders beside her in juniors Abigayle Agbay and Aubrey Agbay, who are 2/3 of a triplets set, as well as senior Avery Lynch and senior Claire Rubel.

On the defensive front, no one made

more of an improvement than Rubel, who went from a role player in 2022 to an allState honorable mention this season.

“She’s just kicked it off this year like she was the starter three years ago as a freshman,” Arens said.

So yes, this isn’t the same team Brighton has faced the past two years, and Bloomfield Hills showed that earlier this season when the team went toe-to-toe with Brighton April 15 at Birmingham Groves High School in the East vs. West Tournament.

While Bloomfield Hills controlled the majority of the game, it was mental mistakes that Arens said still set the team apart from reaching their full potential.

“Our biggest issue within the last two years, and even when we played them in the tournament in the spring, was not necessarily to do with our skill level,” Arens said.

“We had a little bit, especially in the game this year, where we had mental lapses on the offensive end. We would just throw the ball away with unforced turnovers, and that kills momentum.”

As Bloomfield Hills goes to battle once more with Brighton, you can bet that they’re more prepared and confident than they’ve ever been.

With balance on both sides of the ball and the team playing the way they are, Butler said there’s no excuses to make this season.

“This is the group this year,” Butler said. “This is the group we know can make it far. Next year, it’ll be different without the seniors, but this is the group we want to take it to the next level with. I think we all know that if it’s going to happen, it’s going to be this year.”

LOCAL SCHOOLS NAME TEACHERS OF THE YEAR mgenson@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD HILLS/BIRMINGHAM — Teachers of the Year have been named for Bloomfield Hills Schools and Birmingham Public Schools, three teachers in each district.

The Bloomfield Hills Schools Foundation provided Bloomfield Hills Schools Teachers of the Year with a $250 grant as they were honored at the April 27 Board of Education meeting. The Bloomfield Hills teachers that were recognized are Angela Parker, Laura VanGemert and Krista LaLiberte.

Parker teaches at Conant Elementary School and was recognized as the Elementary School Teacher of the Year. Parker is a learning specialist at Conant Elementary School. She has been working with kindergarteners through third graders for the last 20 years.

Parker began her teaching career at De-

troit Public Schools.

Conant Elementary School Principal Robert Phelps presented the award to Parker at the Board of Education meeting.

“With a growth mindset and a relationship-first mentality, she scaffolds lessons for students that fold into their classrooms, providing them accelerated growth and more importantly, confidence in themselves,” Phelps said during the meeting.

Phelps added that she has been a leader in Conant Elementary School’s work with diversity, equity and inclusion.

Parker will be transitioning into retirement next year.

The Middle School Teacher of the Year recognition was given to VanGemert who teaches eighth-grade American studies at West Hills Middle School.

Rob Durecka, the interim associate principal of West Hills Middle School, presented VanGemert’s award.

“She achieves far more than just helping See TEACHERS on page 24A

Birmingham’s Movie Nights kicks off June 9

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — Starting June 9, the Birmingham Shopping District’s Movie Night series will be back at Booth Park.

The community is welcome to bring their lawn chairs and blankets to gather around the giant LED screen.

“Movie Nights has been a tradition in downtown Birmingham for many years,” BSD Public Relations Specialist Erika Bassett said. “The community looks forward to this special summertime series, which brings people together to enjoy free, good ol’ fashioned fun in beautiful Booth Park. There is something so special about being able to enjoy the simple things in life with family and friends.”

Movie Nights will take place June 9, July 14, Aug. 11 and Sept. 8. Each Movie Night is free and will include treats and giveaways from sponsors. Series sponsors include KW Domain and Goldfish Swim School.

Goldfish Swim School will have a tent with activities for kids to enjoy before the movie starts. They will have a game available where kids can win a prize.

“It is a really great way to be out in the community supporting our business but also supporting Movie Nights,” Jill Kibler, the general manager of Goldfish Swim School, said.

Goldfish Swim School has so far committed to being at Movie Nights in June, July and August. They have not yet been decided if they will be at the September event.

“Movie Nights is a great family community event.

STAY COOL AND KEEP ENERGY BILLS LOW THIS SUMMER METRO DETROIT — With summer and warmer temperatures just around the corner, many people are turning to their air conditioners to stay comfortable. But in conjunction with the increased use of energy, it isn’t uncommon for residents to see a spike in their utility bills.

So how do you keep your home or apartment cool without breaking the bank this summer?

According to Consumers Energy’s website, an air conditioner is one of the biggest users of electricity. To avoid trading a low utility bill for comfort, the utility recommends running the air conditioner in the morning so it won’t have to work as hard when utility prices are higher in the afternoon.

“Your AC won’t have to work as hard and you can get your home to a comfortable temperature before electricity prices rise in the afternoon,” Consumers Energy states. “Then, from 2 to 7 p.m., simply turn your thermostat up a few degrees. Your house should stay cool, and you’ll save some money.”

Additionally, Consumers Energy recommends using a programmable thermostat to take some of the effort out of controlling your air conditioning, as well as installing an air conditioner in the shade and ensuring that it is clear of any leaves or debris. If using a window-mounted unit, close any open registers to keep cool air from escaping.

“At the end of the day, our priority is ensuring our customers have the energy they need to power their homes and businesses, and we’re more than prepared to provide that this year, even on summer’s hottest days,” Consumers Energy spokesperson Tracy Wimmer said in an email. “But for those customers looking to reduce their energy footprint or simply save money on their bills, there are a number of very easy-to-implement tips that can be utilized in the summer months — from closing doors and registers in unused areas to operating appliances like the stove or dryer in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside — helping to keep costs low without sacrificing comfort.”

DTE Energy also recommends using Energy Star-certified appliances, which are tested and verified for technologies that improve efficiency and performance while being better for the environment.

According to DTE’s website, insufficient insulation can lead to uncomfortable temperatures and increased utility bills.

“Air can leak out of your house around openings that are not in obvious areas,” the website states. “Common household air leaks can be found around the plumbing vents, attic hatch, recessed lights and basement rim joints. To maximize home efficiency, seal all the gaps where air can leak out.”

DTE also suggests ensuring that rugs, drapes or furniture are not blocking airflow from registers and changing the direction of ceiling fans to cool more efficiently.

Cooling without an air conditioner

Lasko, which manufactures electric fans, has some advice for getting the most out of them. The manufacturer points out on its website, lasko.com, that cooler air is heavier than hotter air, so placing a fan lower to the ground may better disperse the cooler air in a room.

Lasko also recommends pointing the fan at a wall that is across from where most of the activity in the room takes place. It says this placement will bounce the air off the wall and mix it with the rest of the air in the space, cooling it.

Lasko states that twin window fans working together can take in cooler air while at the same time exhausting hot air to the outdoors. Opting for this two-way circulation can help cool a room and keep it from feeling stuffy.

“Box fans are versatile in their use due to their ability to operate in windows,” Brian Schaadt, Lasko’s business unit director, said in an email. “When weather and safety permit, using a box fan facing outward in a window and opening another window in the room (or nearby room) can effectively increase fresh air indoors and exhaust polluted indoor air.”

Schaadt also suggested opening windows when it’s cooler outside at night and placing box fans to circulate the fresh air and create a cross flow ventilation system.

Looking for more ways to save?

Many local utility companies — including DTE Energy and Consumers Energy — offer rebate programs and other incentives for switching to energy-efficient appliances.

Consumers Energy also offers inspections to help homeowners find ways to make their homes more energy-efficient, while DTE can help connect homeowners with contractors.

For more information on either program, visit consumersenergy.com or dteenergy.com.

by featuring rosé wines, cocktails and mocktails paired with chef-created special menus.

Some restaurants are donating a portion of the proceeds to Cap and Conquer, the amount donated varies per restaurant. The nonprofit strives to provide need-based funding for people going through cancer treatments, specifically chemotherapy. Their services support cancer patients who are interested in using or learning more about cold caps.

The organization was founded by six women. Four of them went through cancer treatment and used cold caps during chemotherapy.

“Cold capping is a non-medical way to prevent hair loss,” Cap and Conquer cofounder Janet Gendelman said. “We all had the same desire to help people use cold caps to prevent hair loss during chemotherapy because it is really one of the toughest side effects to go through and probably the most visible side effect that happens during chemotherapy.”

Gendelman said cold capping is very expensive, so some people can’t afford to do it to prevent hair loss.

“Not only does it affect them during chemotherapy, but for a long time after. because it is still very visible that you do not have your hair,” Gendelman said. “Mentally, it is very challenging to move forward after

you are done with treatment.”

More information on Cap and Conquer can be found on capandconquer.org.

“We are so excited and really humbled that we were picked to be the nonprofit that will get the proceeds donated to our organization,” Gendelman said.

EXTRA COMFORT AND CARE FOR THE ANXIOUS PET 20A/ BIRMINGHAM-BLOOMFIELD EAGLE • JUNE 7, 2023

BY MARY GENSON mgenaon@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Anxiety is something that many people are familiar with as it troubles a large percentage of humans, but it is important to consider how anxiety may be affecting pets at home.

There are multiple different types of anxiety that animals experience. Some of the most common ones include separation anxiety, travel anxiety and thunderstorm anxiety.

Laura Wiltshire has been training dogs for about 20 years and has been with Wolverine Dog Training Club for about five years.

“Training is a good source to help alleviate anxiety, and when you train a dog, it actually builds the confidence in yourself, and the dog and you do form a bond,” Wiltshire said.

For rescue dogs, Wiltshire shared the “3-3-3 rule.”

“It takes three days for the dog to settle down, three weeks for your dog to get comfortable and three months for your dog to open up to you and show what their personality is,” Wiltshire said.

Angela Tolonen is the owner of Tolonen Family Pet Shop at 23320 Farmington Road in Farmington.

One of the managers at Tolonen Family Pet Shop, Sofia Solis, is experienced in working with pets with anxiety.

“The COVID dogs were almost like a little mini generation of dogs that lived through a good portion of their life without ever needing anyone who was not within their four walls, and I think for a lot of pet

parents, it did not occur to them what that experience would be like once they finally got their pet out and about,” Tolonen said.

Anxiety can be experienced by smaller animals as well. For smaller animals such as cats and rabbits, Solis said enrichment is helpful in reducing their anxiety.

Unlike humans, animals cannot use their words to share that they are anxious. However, there are several signs to look for. For dogs, excessive panting, barking or tail tucks are common signs of anxiety. Other animals may be reactive in their own way to people or other pets when they are anxious.

Solis said the first thing owners should do when they notice their pet is anxious is look at the root of the problem. For instance, owners should reflect on if their animal has been given sufficient enrichment to stimulate them.

A product that can help with enrichment is a snuffle mat, where owners can hide treats that the pet has to find.

“It can just be part of their day that they are doing some sort of job for their food, which is actually incredibly rewarding for them. It not only keeps their anxiety down but just really helps their relationship with their human as well,” Tolonen said.

One of the ways Solis has helped remedy pet anxiety is through CBD oil.

Mike Palmer, the owner of Premier Pet Supply, which has several local locations, said that oftentimes, one of the best things to do is to supplement with a

product like CBD. “They don’t make it so that they lose their functional motor skills, it actually just triggers receptors in the brain to provide calm and make it easier to manage situations, whether that is traveling, visiting the vet or the groomer, fireworks, thunderstorms and things like that,” Palmer said.

CBD is also one of the first things Solis would recommend. CBD is derived from hemp plants but does not cause a “high.”

“It is one of my top recommendations just because it’s not a sedative; it’s not a medication like you would get at the vet.

It’s kind of just a more natural way to bring them down a couple of levels,” Solis said.

While there was not a specific brand she recommended, she said she typically mixes CBD oil in her dog’s food. Other CBD options include CBD peanut butter powder, CBD treats and CBD water.

Dogs with high anxiety can potentially benefit from a daily dose of CBD, with higher doses given on more high-stress days.

If people do not want to go the supplement route, thunder jackets are a product

that can be used to help reduce anxiety. They are like a compression shirt that works similarly to a weighted blanket.

Palmer, Wiltshire and Solis all recommended using thunder jackets for anxious pets.

“It provides almost like a swaddling effect that you would do for a newborn baby,” Palmer said. “And what that does is essentially provides them the comfort and calm of feeling almost like a warm hug.”

Wiltshire also recommends owners try using pheromones for dogs. Pheromones are chemicals that animals (and humans) emit to signal to other animals. These can be sprayed in a dog’s bandana or through an air diffuser in the home. By smelling pheromones, some dogs become more relaxed.

For anxiety that is situational, Palmer suggested testing out a product before the stressful scenario and giving it time to become effective.

Solis said it is important to remember that anxiety in pets is very common, and the best thing to do is use different resources and reach out for help.

Keeping an open mind and following research from professionals is a good way to make sure your pet is getting the care they need.

METRO DETROIT — Each time Karen E. Breen travels in her 1978 GMC Royale motor home, it attracts a crowd.

“There’s a lot of excitement. It’s an attention-getter no matter where I go,” Breen said. “The minute I pull into a campground, I’m approached by young kids and older people. Everyone gives a thumbs-up. People get their cameras out. You can’t be an introvert and own a GMC.” Breen purchased the 1978 model in 2016. The Birmingham resident is the fifth owner of the 26-foot-long vintage vehicle, which has logged miles upon miles of adventures.

“It’s about the road trip,” Breen said. “It’s about the experience.”

Since getting the keys to her own RV, Breen has hit the open road with good friends traveling to New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia and Cleveland. There are some favorite spots up north Breen likes to visit, and she has two trips on her bucket list: Route 66 and U.S. Highway 89 through seven national parks.

The ardent traveler always tries to find a campsite in which the RV’s bedroom faces the water. Not one to stay idle, Breen finds various activities, such as hiking or checking out lighthouses, when traveling. A professional photographer, Breen takes plenty of snapshots of the spots she visits.

Breen keeps a journal of each road trip by tracking the date, starting point, time of day, mileage and destination. The GMC motor home has everything needed to hit the open road. It’s equipped with all the original appliances — refrigerator, stove and microwave. The walnut cabinets provide warmth. The dinette table located near the front of the vehicle can be made into a bed. The sleeping area can accommodate a large bed, or

23A

be rearranged to make bunk beds.

Breen has decorated the RV to make it “comfortable and cozy.” A white, fuzzy throw blanket, for instance, fits snuggly on the back of the booth dinette and a Lucite table provides a bit of home. There is a bar area for a favorite cocktail and an espresso coffee maker. Control panels adjust the RV’s systems for climate, water and power.

The Detroit native, who grew up in South Bend, Indiana, discovered the GMC motor home when she was 11 years old. She remembers when they first appeared on the market.

“It was so futuristic looking. When you saw them, it was a rarity. They were not cheap,” Breen remembered. “My parents said, when they retired, they would get a GMC motor home and travel the U.S. Who knew they would only be around five years?”

That’s right. The GMC motor homes were only produced from 1973 to 1978. The RVs were designed with contemporary styling and large windows and built in Pontiac.

There were four models named after national parks: Canyon Lands, Glacier, Painted Desert and Sequoia.

Breen and her family eventually moved back to metro Detroit, settled in Warren and in 1980 Breen graduated from Mott High School, which is now Warren Mott. According to Breen’s findings, the GMC motor home was the only motor home produced by a car manufacturer and was considered to have been “ahead of its time.”

“The technology of the front wheel pin allowed it to be lower to the ground,” Breen said.

She also discovered almost 13,000 GMCs were produced from 1973 to 1978, and over 8,000 are registered. While the majority of GMC motor home owners are in the U.S., there are also owners in Canada,

the U.K., Australia, the Netherlands, Venezuela and other parts of the world.

The vehicles were produced by GM Truck and Bus at the site that is now M1 Concourse, Breen said. Because 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the GMC, the international club, GMCMI, is planning a fall convention in metro Detroit culminating with a caravan through Pontiac to M1 Concourse.

“We are expecting approximately 100 GMCs to participate,” Breen said.

Through her on-the-road ventures she has crossed paths with other GMC motor home owners.

“They are salt-of-the-earth people,” Breen said. “They’re super helpful. Everyone is always willing to help out.”

Breen is a bit of a vehicle collector. She owns a 2013 Volkswagen Golf R, which is her car and a rare production vehicle. She also owns a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 and a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet “Epilog” edition, which she said is the last year of the German-produced Beetle.

Breen, a data factory communications lead with Ford’s Global Data Insight and Analytics division, volunteers throughout the community, including with M1 Concourse in Pontiac and the GMC Great Lakers club.

The ardent camper is a board member of the GMC Great Lakers, where she is the editor and publisher of the club’s newsletter.

The Great Lakers was the first GMC club chapter, formed in January of 1976, according to Breen. In addition “there are a few very active GMC Facebook groups providing lots of information and camaraderie.”

For more information on the GMC Great Lakers, visit gmcgreatlakers.org. The GMC Motorhomes International website is gmcmi.com. The Facebook page is called GMC Great Lakers Motorhome Club (1973-1978).

students gain a deeper understanding of our country’s history,” Durecka said during the meeting. “Laura helps students better understand who they are as learners, supporting the growth of critical thinking, communication and self-management skills, all while building meaningful relationships with her students.”

LaLiberte, Bloomfield Hills High School’s instructional coach, AP language and composition teacher and student leadership advisor, is the High School Teacher of the Year. LaLiberte has been with the district for 19 years and is very involved with students’ extracurriculars, such as the National Honors Society.

Bloomfield Hills Schools Associate Principal Cathy McDonald presented the award to LaLiberte.

“She is the pulse and heartbeat of our community at BHHS. It is with her wealth of institutional knowledge, Krista takes the lead and does so naturally,” McDonald said during the meeting.

LaLiberte said one of the most rewarding parts of being a teacher is experiencing her students’ “aha moment.” She said she got to experience this recently after her student’s AP test when they shared with her how prepared they felt for the exam.

“The best part for me is when they realize for themselves how (much) they have personally accomplished,” LaLiberte said.

Birmingham Public Schools Teachers of

the Year include Thomas Zabawa, Kathleen Courage and Anthony Fink. They were also recognized as nominees for Oakland County Schools’ Outstanding Teacher of the Year honor.

Zabawa was recognized as the Elementary Teacher of the Year for Birmingham Public Schools. Zabawa is now a fourthgrade teacher at Bingham Farms Elementary, but he has taught every grade level from first through fifth.

He has been working at Birmingham Public Schools for over three decades and has taught at Midvale, Greenfield and Bingham Farms elementary schools.

“I love getting to know the kids and building those relationships. I love when they come back and visit and share their memories of the year we had together,” Zabawa said.

When Zabawa was presented with the award, administrators and his family came to his classroom to surprise him.

Zabawa was able to read the testimonies of people he has worked with. He said he was especially touched by the testimony written by a former student who is now in sixth grade.

The Birmingham Public Schools Middle School Teacher of the Year award went to Courage. She is a math and science teacher at Derby Middle School.

Fink was named the Birmingham Public Schools High School Teacher of the Year.

Fink is the art teacher and head of the Groves Mural Club at Wylie E. Groves High School.

Each of the Birmingham teachers was given a celebratory gathering at their school.

MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY ON MACKINAC ISLAND

0345-2323

Spending a day on Mackinac Island is a rite of summer for many Michiganders.

But most of us, I’m betting, aren’t making the most of that day. We scurry off the ferries right into the heart of downtown Mackinac Island, rent a bicycle for the traditional loop around the island, and then spend a few hours searching for souvenirs and fudge. We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock.

While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native American, European and American history. And while Mackinac evokes images of being lost somewhere in time, there’s always something

new to check out.

New this season, for example, are: Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub, named after a contractor of Irish descent who helped build a number of important buildings on the island; the Mackinac Island Pizza Co., which serves Detroit-style pizza and is among the restaurants operated by the Grand Hotel; and the Cedar Grove Bike Track, a dirt bike trail designed for children 12 and younger. In the last few years, a distillery, a brewery and a whiskey-themed restaurant and bar have opened as well.

So how do you make the most of a day trip to the island, which was recently named Best Summer Travel Destination in the country by USA Today readers. Here’s a loose itinerary to make sure you enjoy the highlights.

This might seem like a no-brainer, but it wasn’t until my third trip to Mackinac that I hopped aboard. What a difference. It’s a leisurely and nearly two-hour excursion that provides a better sense of the island. There are several stops, so you can get off and explore. The company bills itself as the oldest horse and buggy service in the world.

11 a.m. — Explore Fort Mackinac

Perched atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, the limestone fort is a one-of-akind attraction in Michigan. Costumed interpreters offer rifle-firing demonstrations and tours, sharing the stories of the Revolutionary War-era fortress. Exhibits share the island’s role in the War of 1812. For a unique experience, make a reservation to shoot an authentic cannon. Cap your visit with refreshments at the Tea Room at Fort Mackinac. Run by the Grand Hotel, the Tea Room boasts some of the best views on the island.

Other lunch options: For a leisurely break, order a picnic from the Mission Point Picnic Society and spread your fare on the expansive lawn at the family-owned Mission Point Resort overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Other options include grabbing prepared foods at Doud’s Market, the island’s only grocer, run by descendants of the aforementioned Patrick Doud. The island is home to a variety of restaurants; most of them can be found along Main Street.

It is well worth the short uphill walk from downtown to the Grand, among the last of the big wood-frame hotels in the country. For $10, you can explore the venerable hotel and the grounds. Take time to secure a white wooden rocking chair on the front porch, the world’s longest, and breathe in the mesmerizing views. The public is welcome to join activities (for a fee) at the Woodlands Activity Center, which includes an 18-hole miniature golf course, and the Cedar Grove Bike Track.

I passed through recently with a 3-year-old in tow. She was mesmerized. Before leaving, stop by the Pink Pony (inside the Chippewa Hotel), one of the island’s most famous bars, and toast its 75th anniversary. Cheers.

Report from page 1A

“We really appreciate all you do,” said Trustee Valerie Murray.

In 2022, the Police Department handled 25,883 calls for service, down from 26,970 calls last year.

“A call for service is any call that our police respond to that comes in through our department — that also includes traffic stops and things that are found on patrol,” Soley said. “It slowed down compared to our calls in 2021, almost about 1,000 calls down.”

Despite calls for service dropping, the township saw a slight increase in “Part A” crimes — what Soley said are the “most serious crimes,” including sexual assault, robbery, murder, stalking and larcenies of high value items.

“This has been a strange year — really a year and a half going into 2023 — for Bloomfield Township. I don’t think I have ever seen or written as many press releases for serious crimes as we’ve had,” Soley said.

“When I say serious, it doesn’t have to mean violent. They can still be property crimes, but we do see those crimes going on.”

In 2022, police investigated 809 “Part A” crimes — including 243 cases of fraud (including ID theft), 94 larcenies from vehicles, 83 larcenies from buildings, 62 cases of retail fraud, 59 drug violations, and 59 assaults, to name a few. There were also 12 use of force incidents, compared to 13 in 2021.

Last year, the Police Department reported 716 “Part A” crimes — including 228 cases of fraud (including ID theft), 70 larcenies from vehicles, 82 larcenies from buildings, 31 cases of retail fraud, 46 drug violations, and 57 assaults and other incidents.

In 2022, the department reported 302 “Part B” crimes — typically misdemeanors that carry less than a year in prison, such as minor thefts to driving-related incidents, such as impaired driving and hit-and-run crashes — compared to 309 last year. As for “Part C” crimes — which are relatively minor misdemeanors but also very common calls for service, like traffic crashes — police reported 23,302 in 2022, compared to 23,499 in 2021.

“When we are dealing with 38 stolen vehicles in four months, that takes patrol’s time away from being on the road, because they are investigating that,” Solely said.

Last year also marked the first full year of the mental health Co-Responder program — also known as CoRE — with clinician Hillary Nusbaum. The three participating police agencies — Birmingham, Bloomfield Township and Auburn Hills — referred a total of 664 cases to Nusbaum last year, including 239 referrals from Bloomfield Township alone. The program has since been used as a model and was implemented by the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Office and the Troy Police Department.

In September, the CoRE program was awarded a federal grant of $260,000 to ex-

pand its team by adding the Rochester Police Department and hiring a second clinician to handle the case load.

The township, Soley noted, prides itself on providing service-oriented policing, providing a number of services to residents.

“If our residents call Bloomfield Township and they need something and they reach our police dispatch, we don’t often say, ‘That’s not our job,’ or ‘That’s not something that we do.’ We find a way to handle it and get it done,” he explained.

Over the past year, the Police Department completed 1,451 vacation house checks, responded to 281 vehicle lockouts and made 415 routine school security checks.

Solely highlighted the department’s participation in Skate with a Cop, Welcome Back to School night, homeowner association meetings, neighborhood picnics, Halloween events, Christmas with Bloomfield, Special Olympics events and more.

“It’s hard to paint the full picture of what we do here, because it changes so much day to day. … It’s not always running and gunning and arresting people. It’s a lot of service-oriented policing that we do, and we want to highlight that,” said Soley. “If you want us to get involved with your organization, reach out. We’ll find a way.”

The full annual police report is up on the township website at www.bloomfieldtwp.org, under “Police,” “Transparency,” and “2022 Annual Report.”

BIRMINGHAM-BLOOMFIELD EAGLE, June 7, 2023 - 3B

INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Laser light jeopardizes helicopter

MADISON HEIGHTS — Trooper 2, a Michigan State Police helicopter, was in flight at 9 p.m. May 16 when it was struck by a green-colored laser, which was reportedly later traced back to an address in Madison Heights. A male suspect in the 26700 block of Osmun Avenue was arrested and a laser device was located on his person.

“It is a crime, both federal and state, to point a laser at an aircraft,” Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said in a prepared statement. “We are fortunate that no one was hurt (and that) the aircraft didn’t crash in this incident.”

He added that the suspect, 44, was transported to the Metro North Post, processed and released pending prosecutor review.

Lost wallet found by fellow shopper

NOVI — A woman filed an online police report after her wallet was stolen from a handheld shopping basket at an unidentified store between 6:20 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. May 2. She had placed the wallet in the basket while she shopped. She told police she put the basket down several times but never walked away from it, but she did turn her back away from it multiple times. The woman said she didn’t realize the wallet was missing until she went to check out.

The dark blue wallet contained her driver’s license, $55 in cash, credit cards and five miscellaneous gift cards worth $228.25. Police advised her to cancel all her cards that she lost and to call the three major credit bureaus and report the cards as stolen.

The woman said none of the cards had been used.

On May 10, the woman informed police that her wallet had been returned to her. She stated a female shopper had placed the wallet in between her front door and screen door shortly after the initial incident, with a note. The shopper explained that she did not trust the store employees and decided to drop it off instead.

The owner of the wallet stated she does not use the front door, which created the delay in finding the wallet. All contents were present except for the cash.

ReLeaf Michigan, a nonprofit tree organization, in collaboration with the Troy School District, SavATree, and the DTE Energy Foundation, planted 20 trees at the Troy School District preschool in Troy May 6.

Students and members of the community came together to plant the trees and educate the young students on ecology. DTE donated the 20 trees of various types, SavATree dug the holes and donated site prep services, and more than 80 volunteers attended, including current and past preschool families, preschool staff, community members and representatives from five different tree planting groups.

“The trees planted will create a tree canopy for shade, improve the aesthetics of the new school, create an outdoor learning space, and provide a fantastic teaching resource,” said Troy Schools Maintenance and Operations Supervisor Larry Franckowiak.

“What a joy to see our community come together for something so close to our Preschool hearts, our connection to nature.

These trees will provide learning opportunities and beautify our space for years to come,” added Preschool Director Erin Keyser.
