he last time I had the opportunity to be in a parade, volunteering or otherwise, was in 2014. I was a high schooler at the time playing my instrument in a marching band in the early hours of Thanksgiving Day. I still remember all the fun I had at that time.

This time, during the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade, I wasn’t decked out in a full marching band uniform, but a

sparkling white T-shirt with the word “volunteer” in block letters on the back.

There was a certain pride in volunteering for this parade. It was a feeling of being involved in something bigger than myself, and memorializing all those who fell serving this country in such a grand way touched me. I was happy and excited to help out, even if my role was a small one.

Residents in St. Clair Shores have launched a fundraising effort to save the city’s water tower, a landmark they say holds great historical significance.

Michael McCain said the Save the St. Clair Shores Water Tower group was started a little over a year ago.

When they first started to find ways to save the tower, they thought of the idea of putting a cell tower on it, McCain said. That plan fell through, and they started to look at different ways to save it. McCain said he looked at making it a historical landmark.

“And the problem with that was going to be, was, yes, we could probably get the funding through state and federal funding, but then you would still have to do maintenance on the facility and that wouldn’t cover that,” McCain said.

Another issue with the historical designation is that they wouldn’t be able to change the tower in any way, meaning they couldn’t use it for advertising purposes or add a cell tower. The original goal was to

pending 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 South Channel lights sit in Lake St. Clair, and it’s the mission of the Save Our South Channel Lights organization to preserve their history through restoration for generations to come.

Kathy Brady, the group’s secretary, said Save Our South Channel Lights is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization founded by Charles Brockman.

“Him and his wife were avid boaters that used to go out in Lake St. Clair, and often went by the lighthouses and saw how decrepit they were in the ’70s and ’80s,” Brady said. “And he said, ‘Somebody ought to do something about that.’”

This prompted him to found the organization in 1988.

The range lights were built in 1859 to allow sailors safe passage through Lake St. Clair, and they were decommissioned in 1905 when the government no longer had any use for them, Brady said.

“They had actually dredged a new channel, at which point the border between Canada and the U.S. was changed with that dredging,” Brady said.

Brady said the need arose for the set of range lights as boats got bigger and bigger and started carrying heavier cargo. Some of that cargo grew to include iron ore used during the Civil War for weapons and munitions.

“The boats used to have to come up the Detroit River from Lake Erie into Lake St. Clair,” Brady said.

“The average depth of Lake St. Clair is just over 4 feet,

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 See MACKINAC on page 20A

The St. Clair Shores Waterfront Environmental Committee held their 28th annual Nautical Coast Clean up on May 21, drawing a crowd ready to clean up the beaches in St. Clair Shores.

The event started at the Jefferson Yacht Club, where volunteers were treated to a breakfast provided by sponsors before they set out to clean three different places: Veterans Memorial Park, Blossom Heath Park and the area around the Chapaton Drain.

Michael Droogleever, event director for the cleanup, said one of the big pushes this year was to get sponsorships since their participation had been doing well. He thanked the sponsors for helping them out.

“We had a great response this year and what’s great about the sponsorships is now it’s helping us cover all the costs,” Droogleever said at the event. “It’s really a self-sustaining event.”

He also said another point of the event is to bring attention and awareness to the

combined sewer overflows issue.

“We have big rain events that our facilities here can’t handle processing everything,” Droogleever said. “Our community leaders, our politicians are doing a great job of making a push in upgrading the infrastructure to handle that.”

Droogleever said the event was a huge success in terms of what they were trying to achieve that year with sponsors. He said, with all the participating sponsors, they were able to get enough supplies for the event.

“What’s important is we brought in enough funds to cover the event,” Droogleever said. “There are supplies, trash bags, gloves and then, of course, the food.”

Droogleever said, in the past, they recorded everything they picked up, but he said it was his decision to stop working off that figure. He said due to the amount of water in the organic material, it can inflate the numbers and it’s hard to separate.

“Because every year is different with the debris that’s washed up on the shoreline,” Droogleever said. “And the preponderance See CLEANUP on page 21A

With the summer months arriving and the weather heating up, there’s a lot of fun to go around, especially with the events planned in St. Clair Shores.

Henry Bowman, St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation director, named the events coming up in the summer. They include the farmers market where folks can find food trucks, fresh produce and musical acts.

“That’s going on the second Thursday of the month and the fourth Sunday,” Bowman said.

The pool opened on May 27 with a couple new features, Bowman said.

“We have a new dual flume slide there and it’s absolutely, it is really pretty cool,” Bowman said. “So definitely we want to encourage people, residents, get on down to the pool and enjoy it.”

He added that if nonresidents want to go to the pool, they have to go with a resident.

On June 17, the city will host Rock the

Dock with two bands, The Camp Counselors and Whiplash. Whiplash, Bowman said, disbanded and is hosting a remembrance tour this year.

“People remember Whiplash because they used to play every year at Music by the Lake, so it’ll be a nice reunion,” Bowman said.

Other events include Music by the Lake, starting on June 7, fireworks on June 23, Barbeque and Brews on July 29 and Aquafest on Aug. 6.

The Music by the Lake concerts are every Wednesday night, and they have brand new bands and old favorites including Blue Water Kings, Stone Blossoms, The Family Tradition Band, Rockstar and Sunset Boulevard.

“We’ll be running our concerts for 10 weeks, and in July, we start our Monday night series, and we do that at Wahby Park Monday nights,” Bowman said.

They’re also working on expanding their fishing program for the summer, Bowman said.

Lions’ Ragnow, Brown fish for a cause on Lake St. Clair

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

Michigan’s charter fishing industry.

Especially with Lake St. Clair as a close body of water for metro Detroiters, Michigan fishing offers vast opportunities.

“It’s one of the best,” Ragnow said.

“Lake St. Clair is a great lake, and the fishing opportunities all year round are incredible.”

The beauty of charter fishing is because it’s an excursion-like service, where boat owners and/or professional fishermen will take people out onto the water to fish, anyone can take part in it. Grab a group of family members or friends and enjoy the weather and peacefulness of the lake.

Michigan is widely recognized as one of the best states for fishing, and Ragnow said the experience of charter fishing is unlike any other.

“I think charter fishing in general is such an incredible opportunity, especially for people that may not have access to a boat or may not have access to fishing gear and are interested in tasting the waters and checking it out,” Ragnow said. “Even if you do have access and you want to try something new

METRO DETROIT — It was a true matchup of David vs. Goliath on the waters of Lake St. Clair at Emerald City Harbor in St. Clair Shores May 30.

Detroit Lions legend Lomas Brown, the charter fishing rookie, went toe-to-toe with Lions Pro Bowl center Frank Ragnow, the veteran angler.

It was a matchup with unmeasurable magnitude, like a goal line play with both sides of the trenches going at it.

“I’m in his territory,” Brown said.

“Now, this is his natural habitat. I’m like the city guy being thrown out into the country right now.”

The objective was to tally the highest total weight of their catches, which was smallmouth bass, but the mission stemmed far beyond the open waters.

In conjunction with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources and Great Lakes Fishery Commission, the competition was part of an effort to put a spotlight on

USPBL preview: Newcomers fill void for departed veterans

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK

UTICA — Baseball is back at Jimmy John’s Field.

An icon in the Utica community since opening in 2016, the United Shore Professional Baseball League is back and better than ever in 2023, continuing its tradition of assisting players in reaching their Major League Baseball dreams.

With 48 players signed to MLB organizations and three players making MLB rosters (Randy Dobnak, Logan Gillaspie and Jared Koenig), the USPBL’s growing reputation of elevating players to the next level continues to attract talent from all over the map.

“That was probably one of my main reasons for why I came here,” Utica Unicorns pitcher Conner Tomasic, an Indiana native, said. “It’s been seven seasons going on eight, and there’s already been 50 people drafted here, so you know people are watching and coming to see guys. It was a no-brainer to come here.”

Along with the exposure, it’s also ex-

tremely competitive baseball, and the fans are loving every minute of it.

Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers (0-2)

It’s only right to start off with the 2022 USPBL champions, but it’s a newlook squad coming into this season for the Birmingham Bloomfield Beavers, who are three-time champions of the league.

Missing their top-three hitters from 2022 and the majority of their pitching staff, the Beavers will look to rely on returning veteran outfielders Chris Davis and Travious Ford, and returning infielder JD Stubbs to bolster the offensive unit.

Davis is off to a hot start so far in 2023, batting .571 with two home runs in seven atbats while Ford is building off his successful 2022 campaign with a .500 batting average in 10 at-bats.

The Beavers have scored five or more runs in both of their games this season, but are looking for their pitching staff to provide some consistency.

COURT NOW OFFERING ONLINE RESOLUTION FOR SOME TRAFFIC CASES The 40th District now offers a new way to help people resolve civil infraction traffic cases more quickly and efficiently online, a press release said.

Individuals can now access the court using a smartphone, computer or a tablet.

Chief Judge Joseph Craigen Oster said in the press release they are excited to bring this new way to resolve traffic cases to the 40th District Court.

“Increasing access to justice through technology is one of our most important concerns, and implementing this program shows the value we place on user-friendly customer service,” Oster said in the press release.

make a way the city could make some money to keep it, McCain said.

“What we were trying to do was create revenue that could actually pay for itself.

That was our original goal, was to try to create revenue, that way you could keep it,” McCain said.

McCain said the group really started kicking off at a council meeting in May and more people wanted to learn about it. They only really started pushing the funding because of the different avenues they’ve taken.

“So that’s where we’re at,” McCain said. “Things have changed in the process of growing as an organization trying to save it.”

McCain said there were a few things that reminded him of home and made him feel safe and secure. One of them were the bells at St. Isaac Jogues as they rang, and the second one was the water tower. It provided a guiding beacon when he was lost on the lake and welcomed him home from his service in the military.

He said there are a couple things he doesn’t know, including how the tower fell apart the way it did.

“The one thing that bothers me, if

this thing was being dilapidated that much, wasn’t there any maintenance done on it, you know what I mean?” McCain said.

“There had to be upkeep. There had to be a budget for that.”

McCain wanted to make it clear that he is not trying to create any kind of animosity toward members of the council. He said he’s been on boards before and knows how hard the decision-making process is when there are last minute pushes to change something.

“I’m just hoping we can help and make a difference,” McCain said. “You know, that’s all it’s really about, (spread) awareness and maybe we can still save it.”

Bryan Owens, a member of the group, said he thinks the cost of taking the tower down is going to be a lot more than the City Council anticipates. He also has concerns about how the tower is going to fall if it’s taken down.

“When they try to tip it over, you know that steel is World War II steel, pre-World War II steel,” Owens said. “It’s the strongest steel on the planet and it’s not going to bend, it’s going to break.

“If the City Council thought anybody was in danger, I’m sure they would close down Masonic Avenue, I’m sure they would evacuate the people from the houses on Robeson, and they would do something about the school next door,” Owens said.

McCain said he believes the tower to be over 100 years old and that it was originally used to create pressure in the water lines to push the water out to the homes.

Like others within the city, Owens also has memories of the water tower when he was a child. He said his grandma’s backyard faced the water tower.

“My grandma has a willow wisp tree in her backyard,” Owens said. “And I remember as a little kid, you know, finding a place to sit and there were owls in the trees all over the place and just listening to the owls and looking at the water tower.”

Both Owens and McCain don’t know the exact timeline they have to fundraise due to the presence of the Great Horned owls nesting in the tower.

“I know owls take a little bit longer than normal migrant birds do, or normal birds do to migrate out of the nest,” Owens said.

Owens and McCain would like to keep pieces of the tower should it come down, but the main goal is to keep it standing where it is.

“During World War II, the English army wouldn’t destroy any buildings like Germany did and the reason being is because Winston Churchill said, ‘If we destroy the history, what’s the point of doing this,’” Owens said. “So what’s the point of doing this if we destroy the history?”

The GoFundMe effort for the water tower is called Save the St. Clair Shores Water Tower and it was set up by McCain. At press time June 1, it had raised $485.

so a lot of times, those big ships would run aground, and they couldn’t drive at night because it was dangerous.”

Range lights, Brady explained, are a pair of lights that work together. A smaller one sat about 1000 feet in front of the other one and sailors lined them up to make sure they were in deeper, safer waters, Brady said.

When there was no dredging and no lights, ships would stop overnight or when the weather turned and anchor in the bay.

The town Anchor Bay subsequently earned its name from this, Brady said.

“When the boats used to have to stop at nighttime, they’re losing money and they can’t travel, so it would take longer to get to where they were going, so they would have to anchor,” Brady said.

The range lights used to have a keeper’s dwelling, but Brady said it’s a mystery what happened to it.

“They really don’t know what happened to it,” Brady said. “We do know that the remains of the house are not there around the lighthouse.”

They know the government didn’t burn it down after it no longer served a purpose,

Brady said, because they have documentation of people renting it out after it was decommissioned. There is also documentation about a storm that swept through Harsens Island and Lake St. Clair in the early 1900s that destroyed many buildings.

According to the Save Our South Channel Lights website, one of the lights started to lean heavily to one side in 1875 and was dismantled and rebuilt on the same stone and timber base that it had been built on originally.

Gary Strobel, president of Save Our South Channel Lights, said the front light is currently leaning heavily to one side, prompting the need for fundraising. Brady said it is the third time in history it has leaned heavily to one side.

“We’re trying to raise the funds to do the foundation work that will straighten up the light,” Strobel said. “It’s estimated to be about $500,000 to $750,000 that we need for that.”

Right now, they currently have $160,000 saved in cash and investments, Strobel said.

The group is also involved in events such as art fairs, and there was a golf outing to raise money.

Ways the public can help include coming to the events, donating and applying for a membership.

or learn something because there’s so many different opportunities to learn, and have a great day because at the end of the day, when you’re on the water catching fish or not, it’s going to be a great day.”

It was a great day this time, especially for Brown, who edged Ragnow in the competition with the help of his son, Trey Brown, and received a first place “Fishing with a Pro” trophy, sporting a bass on it. Ragnow, on the other hand, received a last-place ring, but hopefully the ring represents foreshadowing of sorts for the upcoming season.

For now, bragging rights belong to Brown.

“He smoked me,” Ragnow said. “But it was great to see the smile on Lomas’ face when he pulled in that fish.”

“It might come up in conversation on team trips and maybe this trophy will show up at the first home game,” Brown said.

But Ragnow and Brown were fishing for more than just a ceremonial award, for both of their foundations received donations for taking part in the competition.

While also receiving donations, Ragnow and Brown were both able to bring light

to their efforts with Frank Ragnow’s “Rags” Remembered Foundation and the Lomas Brown Jr. Foundation being discussed all throughout the day with media members.

“The ‘Rags’ Remembered Foundation is in honor of my dad,” Ragnow said. “I lost him to a heart attack in college, and it’s a foundation I kind of have always been thinking about throughout my career and finally was able to launch a year ago. It’s able to help grieving families kind of get through their grief through the outdoors. It’s also helping underprivileged kids and underprivileged families have access to the outdoors because I’m incredibly grateful for the way I was raised, and grieving through the outdoors, both two-fold, has been great for me.”

Brown then discussed his foundation and the impact it’s made with low-income families, and how his competitive matchup with Ragnow could make for something special in the future.

“It’s geared towards helping our youth in the Southeast Michigan area,” Brown said.

“I have sports camps and I do educational camps, and the thing we try to do is make all our programs free to the kids. We never want to put a financial burden on the kids or their families, so we mostly serve the underserved area. I’m just glad my foundation is getting the opportunity to team up with Frank be-

“We’re doing some incentives to drive memberships,” Strobel said. “It entitles you (to) a newsletter and decals from the organization and we also have some merchandise that is sent to you, depending on the level of membership that you enroll in.”

More repairs are also in the organization’s plans.

“Our goal is to restore the fence on the rear light and to continue to raise funds for the front light,” Strobel said.

He said more restoration work has been done in the last couple years.

“What we’ve seen is a lot of damage caused by mother nature with the high waters and winds,” Strobel said. “We did do some restoration on the shed. We had to totally rebuild that. We spent approximately $10,000 on that to rebuild and restore that.

The group meets quarterly at the Chesterfield Fire Department to plan and resolve issues.

“They’re still standing tall today because of the way they were constructed and the group efforts to restore them and to save our heritage,” Strobel said.

Brady said the group has raised close

to $900,000 since its inception and has had two match grants. They also raise money through the sale of merchandise and memberships and through weddings and tours out to the grounds of the lights.

Brady said people are welcome to the events they are at. The group is also asking for any information or photos people have

“We want to teach more and more kids how to fish so we’re going to have fishing equipment every Sunday of the farmers market on loan,” Bowman said.

“They’ll be able to go out there. We’ll have people out on our new fishing pier helping kids learn how to fish.”

Bowman said both nonresidents and residents are allowed to access the parks during events, but that access is limited to residents only on any other day.

Residents need to have a park pass in order to enter the parks.

Matthew Hubinsky, the city’s senior center coordinator, named the fun events in store for the senior center this summer. They have a garden party, pickleball clinics and they’re trying to get out to the lavender festival. Hubinsky said they are involved with the Monday Chamber Concerts that start on July 10.

“Really nice setting,” Hubinsky said. “Great, different bands, they have festival of flutes, big band, all different options.”

They are also going to the Motown Museum, Eastern Market, two different boat trips and the sunflower festival as well, Hubinsky said.

“So just all different things,” Hubinsky said. “We want to get people outside having a good time.”

Hubinsky said the buses are accessible with lifts if needed and that seniors can navigate the festivals by themselves or bring a caregiver. The caregiver would be allowed on the bus.

Hubinsky said they’re working to lock in the behind-the-scenes things such as working with vendors and securing tickets needed for certain events. He said they are excited for the events.

“Our drivers are always there with them, sometimes a staff member,” Hubinsky said. “We like to take pictures just so we can remember how good of a time we had and it’s great to see how much fun everyone has.”

- In Memory of Laurie Eileen Lewis

0372-2323

Laurie Eileen Lewis was born on February 13th, 1953, and passed away peacefully at home on May 25th, 2023 at the age of 70, with her children by her side. She was greeted by the lord, her late husband Michael K. Lewis, parents Raymond and Doreen Muirhead, and sister Heather.

Laurie was born in Windsor, Canada, and raised in Michigan.

Proudly becoming a US Citizen, she graduated from South Lake High School and Walsh College with a bachelor’s in finance. Laurie resided with her children in Three Rivers, Eastpointe, and Harsens Island. Laurie followed her calling in the medical field for 50 years as a registered EEG Tech working with children and adults, finally retiring from Brevard County School District as a Bus Driver in Titusville, Florida.

She is survived and lives on through her brother Robert Muirhead and her four loving children; sons Jason and Christian Pravettone, Michael Lewis, and daughter Carly Charrette. Her son-in-law Scott Charrette and daughter-in-law Cody Butters-Lewis. Her grandchildren Allysa Wilfong, Jacob, Nick, Ava, Joshua, Nate Pravettone, Leanna and Matthew Charrette, and Parker and Cannon Lewis.

Laurie was an avid volunteer, always helping those in need anywhere and in any way she could, especially our veterans and those fighting cancer. She loved the sunshine and music, especially Fleetwood Mac, motorcycles, the ocean breeze, and she enjoyed watching the Kennedy Space launches from her lanai. Mostly she loved her family and friends! Her gypsy soul will be forever missed and live on through all those she loved in their hearts and memories.

There will be memorials on Sunday, June 11, 2023, at the VFW Bruce Post 1146 in SCS from 12:30 pm to 4:30 pm, and Saturday, June 24th at the VFW Post 4228, Titusville, FL from 3-6 pm, and laid to rest on Monday, June 12th, 2023, at Great Lakes National Cemetery in Holly, MI, at 10 am.

In honor of her memory, we ask for donations to be sent to The VFW Auxiliary Relief Fund, which provided financial support during her time of need.

collegiately at Rochester University, is one of the Beavers pitchers hoping to help bolster the staff this season.

A first-year player in the USPBL, Gajewski said that while it has been an adjustment, it feels like a full-circle moment to be playing in the league this season.

“Definitely trying to settle in and find your groove, but I don’t mind it at all,” Gajewski said. “Matter of fact, I like it a lot more than any other type of ball I’ve played prior, so I do enjoy the environment. I used to come to these games when I was younger, and here we are now.”

Utica Unicorns (2-1)

The four-time USPBL champions that won three-straight titles from 2019 to 2021 are back and looking to add to the team’s legacy.

The team has an imposing offense led by a mix of veterans and newcomers, with outfielder Alec Brunson and infielder Donovyn Curiel continuing to make their mark with the Unicorns, while newly acquired infielder Josh Baker and catcher Justin Gomez consistently provide at the plate.

“First look at it, I don’t think we’re going to be the same Unicorns that I heard of last year with the big boys, power, and lots

of home runs,” Tomasic, a right-handed pitcher, said. “I think we’re going to be more of the gap-to-gap and score guys more efficiently than relying on the long ball.”

Gomez, who was drafted by the Cincinnati Reds in 2019, is currently hitting .333 on the season, while Baker’s two home runs are tied for the league lead.

Like the Beavers pitching staff, the Unicorns staff will look to match the offensive firepower as the season progresses.

While the earned run averages may not be there yet for the Unicorns, Tomasic currently leads the league in wins (2) in his

first year with the league. A Michigan State University player in 2022, Tomasic will look to lead the pitching staff alongside Tristan Harvin, Jace Baumann, Jake Fiorito, and Michigan native Carsie Walker (Saugatuck).

Westside Wooly Mammoths (1-3)

It’s been a mix of emotions for the Westside Wooly Mammoths since joining the USPBL in 2017.

While holding a pair of runner-up finishes, the past couple of years have been tough as the Mammoths hitting never seemed to truly find its groove last season.

Eastside Diamond Hoppers (3-0)

Currently the only unbeaten team in the league, there’s a reason the Diamond Hoppers are not only the strongest team right now, but also the first team to have a player signed by an MLB organization for the 2023 season.

On May 23, the Minnesota Twins continued their USPBL poaching with the signing of 6-foot-8 right-handed pitcher Jake Wosinski, a Michigan native from Ada, who was dominant so far this season with zero earned runs and seven strikeouts in four innings.

Aside from Wosinski, the Diamond Hoppers are the most balanced team in the league right now with veteran infielders Joe Burke, Alex Pup and Saginaw native Noah Marcoux.

“We got a lot of returners, so having guys back that you played with and you know and you’re familiar with helps a lot,” Burke said. “We kind of have the dynamic together and know what to expect from each other, and we’re ready to get it going.”

While the hitting has improved since

Led by Luke Drummond, Ethan Young, Brett Erwin, Chris Kelly and Grand Rapids native Andrew Verbrugge, the Diamond Hoppers’ slew of arm talent mixed with offensive firepower makes it the team to beat in the league.

“I know we got the pitching, but I hope our lineup is going to be ready to go,” Burke said. “One through nine, I think it’s going to be the best in the league. It should be, but we got to go out there and compete like everyone else.”

Led by former Kansas City Royals 2019 draft pick Burle Dixon in the outfield and a crop of newly acquired talent, the Mammoths offense has been firing on all cylinders this season.

“I’m trying to be a leader for this squad and bring some wins to the Mammoths,” Dixon said. “They’ve been struggling the past few years, so I’m excited to be here and try and turn things around.”

Alongside Dixon, outfielder Francis Florentino, infielder Nick Webre and outfielder Reese Trahey, a West Bloomfield native, lead the offensive unit this season.

Macomb native and Michigan State University right-handed pitcher Kyle Bischoff headlined the Mammoths pitching staff with a league-high 15 strikeouts this season, and his numbers were strong enough to attract the Minnesota Twins’ attention. On May 31, the Twins signed Bischoff, who is the USPBL’s 48th player to sign with a Major League Baseball organization.

With Bischoff ’s departure, the Mammoths will rely on veterans Beau Atkins and Novi native Grant Pytel to be consistent contributors on the mound.

Dixon said there will be one major change with the Mammoths this season.

Mackinac from page 3A

for children 12 and younger. In the last few years, a distillery, a brewery and a whiskeythemed 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.

Bike rentals can be found along the village’s Main Street and at some hotels. It’s an 8-mile trek around the island and you can pedal at your own pace.

Photo provided by Steph Castelein, www.mackinacisland.org

9 a.m. — Join a horse-driven tour with Mackinac Island Carriage Tours

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

1 p.m. — Rent that bicycle

Bike rentals can be found along the village’s Main Street and at some hotels. It’s an 8-mile trek around the island and you can pedal at your own pace. If the views of the Straits of Mackinac, Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge aren’t enough to lure you away from the shops, the M-185 loop (it’s an official state highway) passes landmarks like Arch Rock, an unusual rock formation that stands nearly 15 stories high above Lake Huron.

3 p.m. — Grand Hotel

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. Ask about the hotel’s Secret Garden.

5 p.m. — Downtown Mackinac Island

Spend some time shopping. You won’t miss the ferries back to the mainland — they leave later in the evening during the peak of summer. Fudge shops here are almost as plentiful as hotels. There’s even a Sanders (btw, you can still find Sanders ice cream toppings here).

If you have children, be sure to check out the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House, where hundreds of butterflies, from around the world, flutter and amuse. 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.

Perched atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, the limestone fort is a one-of-a-kind 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 Fort Mackinac Tea Room. Run by the Grand Hotel, the Tea Room boasts some of the best views on the island.

Other lunch options: For a more casual break, order a picnic from the Mission Point Picnic Society. Customers select their own fare, everything from crackers and cheese to dips and charcuteries to sandwiches and salads. Lunch sacks also are available. Spread your picnic on Mission Point Resort’s expansive lawn 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.

of what is collected is organic. You know, it’s seaweed, it’s logs.”

Droogleever said the main idea of the event is to promote clean water throughout the year. He wants to help get residents involved and aware of the issue of the water quality in the lake.

“I want to stress throughout the year, especially in the summer, we have other smaller cleanups,” Droogleever said. “Where we just have a handful of people, 10 to 15, and we’ll go out there occasionally.”

He said the sponsors were happy to help out with the cleanup and he hopes the event can grow in the following years to include education about the lake.

“I hope that we can build off of this reputation, this success, these practices in following years where it grows and it becomes maybe a bit of a bigger event where we’re not just cleaning but we’re also having discussions about the water quality in this lake and the issues that surround it,” Droogleever said.

Mark Balon, co-chair of the Waterfront

Environmental Committee, said they had a great cleanup.

“We had a great day,” Balon said. “The weather was awesome. Our volunteers were very hardworking as we went through each of the beaches and cleaned up a lot of debris, seaweed, trash, large logs we got out of the lakes this year.”

Balon also said the committee offers three scholarships to students who participate in these types of events.

“There are three $500 scholarships, and they’re donated by, typically, Kevin Hertel, the Lions Club, Kiwanis Club,” Balon said.

He added that they got donations from others as well this year. They reach out to all the high schools in St. Clair Shores, Balon said, but they allow other schools in the area to participate.

“Really students are the lifeblood of our committee,” Balon said “They bring a lot of energy, they bring excitement, and they bring their friends and their family. We greatly appreciate all their help.”

Balon said the most important part of the cleanup is the volunteers.

Parade from page 1A

Parade volunteers hold up the sign announcing the start of the 70th Annual St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade.

The only obstacle I had to overcome when participating was the sun. Though it was beautiful to have such a clear, blue sky for one of the biggest volunteer-run parades in the nation, I knew I would be hurting later if I didn’t take the proper precautions.

When I got to the parade around noon, people crowded both sides of the street. Performers dressed up as a book-loving princess and a web slinger walked along the sidewalk and street, greeting kids as they went. People danced to the music from the loudspeakers of the stage without a care in the world, including a 76-year-old woman.

I was stationed at the very end of the parade and my job was taking the magnets off the designated vehicles. It was a relatively small job, but I knew it was appreciated.

The parade started with a parachutist landing gracefully on Jefferson Avenue, exciting the crowd for the lineup of floats, groups, guests and vehicles, historical or otherwise. The police led in the parade in a series of loud sirens and revving vehicles.

Our menu items are cooked to perfection - they are absolutely delicious and satisfying! Relax and enjoy your delicious food and your good time here!

Inspired by their shared passion for breathing new life into used treasures, father-daughter duo Marco and Stephanie Catalfio launched Zoey’s Selected Treasures in February to introduce the community to a diverse selection of previously owned yet carefully curated books, antiques, collectibles, household items and decor.

“It all started with my dad’s personal collection of books and a mix of his own photography, collectibles and other items he was interested in,” Stephanie said. “He’s an avid reader and has been a photographer for 65 years.”

Then, with the help and tireless work of Denise MacDonald, the Catalfios started hunting for antiques and found some intriguing pieces here and there, which they took pleasure in rescuing from the scrap heap and touching up when needed.

“A short time later, we got a gigantic shipment of books and, Holy Cannoli Batman, we were a used bookstore with other things mixed in!” Stephanie exclaimed.

The result is an eclectic haven for bibliophiles and collectors alike, featuring a wide range of titles spanning fiction, non-fiction, children’s literature, history, geography, pop culture and military studies.

Shelves are filled with books covering a variety of perspectives, from the “Diary of Anne Frank” to “Fallen Valor” to a collection of works by the renowned author Stephen King, as well as poignant accounts that illustrate how the machinery of war has evolved while the hopes and dreams of those struggling to survive it have remained unchanged.

With a little something for everyone, customers never know what’s around the next corner. They might be eyeing a vintage brass teapot or a 120-year-old fainting couch one minute, and the next they’re browsing through books on architecture or flipping through an enormous coffee table book on Alaska.

“You can walk around and look at Hot Wheels cars, check out our selection of Dr. Seuss books or go digging into the romance section for a juicy novel,” Stephanie said, adding that a visit to the shop is akin to going on

a treasure hunt. “Shopping from home in your comfy clothes can be fun but, especially post-COVID, people crave a place to get out and walk around.”

Carefully arranged little vignettes complement the spirit of specific genres. These scenes celebrate a wide range of interests, including science, animals, astronomy, dogs, gardening, and even the world of horror.

“We have cases of books that we are still trying to figure out what to do with, so at least once a week I ask myself whose idea it was to buy all these books,” Stephanie laughs.

Marco’s limited edition photo art is also available for purchase in a variety of formats, including frameable sizes, tote bags, puzzles, blank cards and grouped photo sets.

To honor the shop’s namesake, Zoey, a beloved Malinois rescue, Stephanie and Marco contribute a portion of their profits to support Macomb County Animal Control. Additionally, they proudly support Vets Returning Home through separate contributions.

CRIME WATCH Larceny reported on 12 Mile Road

At 9:10 a.m. on May 26, a report was made about an alleged larceny that occurred at 7:03 a.m. on the same day in the 20000 block of 12 Mile Road.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke to the office manager, a 51-year-old woman, who said a woman came into the location and took $125 in miscellaneous bills and a check for $92.67 given to the office by a customer.

Both the money and check were in a white envelope in a desk area. The drawer was locked, but the key was in an open drawer next to the location.

The office manager said the door to the suite was unlocked and several employees were on the premises, with only two witnessing the person they believed took the money.

The sliding doors to the building opened at around 6 a.m. and prior to that time, individuals needed an access badge to swipe and enter.

The officer spoke to several employees and received their reports of what occurred.

The officer called another officer, an evidence technician, to print the two drawers that were still open in the office and not touched by the employees. The other drawers were touched by multiple employees and could not be printed.

Decorative tree stolen

At 6:59 p.m. on May 28, a report was made about an alleged larceny that occurred on the same day at 12:39 a.m. in the 21000 block of Maxine Street. An officer working at the front desk of the St. Clair Shores Police Department spoke with the victim, a 42-year-old woman, who said she had a decorative tree stolen from her lawn.

She showed video from the time it occurred showing three juveniles, approxi-

mately 13-16 years old. A male teen walked up the driveway toward the camera, noticed it and made a comment about it before turning around. All three subjects then walked further down the sidewalk. The two female teens remained on the camera while the male walked off camera where he allegedly disconnected the lights on the tree and walked off with it.

She said the tree was worth around $100.

Breaking and entering, theft reported on Madison Street

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.

and a great mentor. I’ve been very appreciative of him because he’s always around the facility and he’s always supporting us, especially us big men, and he knows that the more support we can get the better, so I’m just very grateful to have him throughout my career.”

As Brown gave Ragnow a nod and a smile for the recognition, Brown described his relationship with Ragnow as well.

Spoiler alert: Brown is desperately hoping for a Lions Super Bowl.

“It kind of reminded me of when myself and Kevin Glover were drafted, you know, center and tackle, and it’s kind of that way with him and Taylor Decker, with those guys being so close,” Brown said. “I know the relationship me and Kevin Glover had as a center, and just to see Frank and how he’s come along is just unbelievable the steps he’s made towards being the type of player he is. Hopefully this is the year. Man, we want it. I think we want it, maybe worse than they want it.”

ST. CLAIR SHORES SENTINEL • JUNE 7, 2023

- In Memory of Constance Frock

Connie was the oldest member of Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church, the oldest resident at American House on Jefferson Avenue, the oldest patient for her doctors - Everett and Diora - “You just get used to being the oldest,” she said during an interview last year. She drove until 98 years old. She gardened into her 90s.

And moved into Independent Living at 102. She survived 2 global pandemics. Witnessed 19 US Presidents, from Wilson to Biden. And lived to enjoy 4 coronation ceremonies.

Although her days were quieter towards the end, she attributed her longevity to a life that included a lot of physical activity. She especially loved dancing, exercises with TV instructor Jack LaLanne, bowling, basketball (in high school), and weekly water aerobics classes - until the much younger instructor retired and the class ended!

Connie was born Constance Olive Ellingham in St. Albans, England (outside of London) on September 13, 1916. Her family moved to Windsor, Ontario when she was 6 years old, looking for a better life as England struggled in the aftermath of WWI. A move to the United States came a few years later, when Connie’s father found work managing apartment buildings across from Cass Tech High School in downtown Detroit. Her brother Fred was born in Canada, and sister Gladys Marie was born in the US. They referred to themselves as an international family.

After graduating from Southeastern High School in 1935, Connie enrolled in business school where she learned to use a Comptometer, an early adding machine. That led to her first job as a Bookkeeper and Payroll Clerk at Briggs Beautyware, where her father John also worked. She actually wrote her father’s weekly paycheck! She also played softball on an all-women Briggs team.

In 1941, she met Ivan Frock through mutual friends at a gathering on Lake St. Clair. They found they shared a love of square and ballroom dancing, and traveling - eventually, visiting every state in the US and many countries in Europe. Every Friday, they went square dancing with the Hayloft Square Dancing Club, and competed at the Palmer House Ballroom in Chicago. In 1942, the couple were married at St. Columba Church in Detroit. Carole (Frock) Krieger was born in 1945, joining Ivan’s son Roger as a family.

Connie stopped working after her marriage, although she filled in at Jacobson’s and Sears during the holiday seasons. After Ivan’s death in 1975, Connie went to work part-time in the men’s department at JC Penney’s store in Eastland Mall, a job she kept until she was 85 years old. She was beloved at work, receiving several employee awards and gathering embarrassing stories along the way. Daughter Carole jokes that they had to close the store so Connie would stop coming to work! She continued traveling with a Grosse Pointe seniors group to different US sites, and various countries abroad, including: Spain, Ireland, Italy, the former Yugoslavia, and many more.

A former Episcopalian, Connie joined Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church in the 1990s, along with her dear friend Warren Lust. GPUMC was so welcoming, she quickly became an active church member. She enjoyed helping with the annual rummage sale, and worked in the memorial gardens. “I did that until my knees gave out!” she once said.

Connie started each day by reading scripture, and treasured the annual Lenten devotion booklet. “The church is like family to her. If she can’t get to the church on Sundays, she is very upset,” Carole said. She was up at 6am on Sundays, to ensure that she was ready to go - and always sat on the left-side, second row. She also listened to a video feed of the service later in the day. She fondly remembers Reverends Bob, Judy, Ray, and her current Pastor David.

Connie’s favorite moments in life were visiting and sharing quality time with family from Pennsylvania, Maryland, California, Florida, Michigan, Canada, England, Texas, and Illinois. She was truly a hoot with all of her stories and practical jokes. And not to mention, the best hugger.

Connie was predeceased by husband Ivan, parents John and Olive Ellingham, brother Fred, sister Gladys Marie, and son Roger. She is survived by her daughter, Carole Krieger, grandchildren Lindsay Griffin (Kyle), Meredith Zielke (Michael Gretz Jr), Karen, Greg and Jimmy Frock, great-grandchildren Liam and Claire Griffin, Anais Gretz-Zielke, extended grandchildren Kim, Becky and Erin. And her very dear nieces, nephews and friends.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to the Grosse Pointe United Methodist Church (211 Moross Road, Grosse Pointe Farms MI 48236), or The American Heart Association.

Services were held at Kaul Funeral Home, St. Clair Shores, on May 20, 2023.

Parade

Photo by Patricia O’Blenes

reenactment groups passed, it was evident that the true meaning of the holiday was not lost in the flurry of fun and entertainment. St. Clair Shores residents and many others thanked military members and veterans as they waved to the crowd on foot or in the back of a vehicle.

Cheers erupted from the crowd every time a military member or group was announced.

Children grabbed candy from the streets as people threw it near the sidewalk. Other volunteers were handing out small American flags that people joyously waved in the air. It was truly thrilling to watch as the crowd celebrated their heroes by clapping, cheering and waving.

After almost three hours of celebration, an announcement rang out naming the last parade entry, followed by the police. By the end, I was tired and very hungry, but I left with a new appreciation for the people who serve in the military, including members of my family.

I know I will never be able to fully comprehend what a military member or veteran goes through, but I hope we’ll be able to celebrate them every day like we did at the parade.

POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Officers join chase

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — Clinton Township police officers were tapped in to help stop suspects on the run from Detroit police on May 9.

After reports of a red Honda Civic driving recklessly came in, officers spotted the car on the shoulder of Village Road with an out-of-state license plate. After officers turned on their lights, suspects drove the car toward 15 Mile Road and Gratiot Avenue, drove onto the grass outside of a gas station, hit curbs, and drove into a pharmacy parking lot before hitting a lamp post and flipping the car. Officers got the suspects out of the car and arrested them as flames were noticed coming from the vehicle, which was later “fully engulfed in flames.”

The car was allegedly connected to a stolen vehicle report out of Detroit, with teen suspects.

Police later learned that the two suspects were 11 and 14 years old.

Delivery deception

CLINTON TOWNSHIP — On May 5, a man walked into the FedEx store on Gratiot Avenue, showed identification and picked up packages for Ahee Jewelers.

A manager later called to inquire about the state of the packages. FedEx told the manager the packages were picked up, but the manager said nobody had the permission to pick up the packages.

Man arrested on warrants found with firearm, body armor

EASTPOINTE — An Eastpointe man was found with a firearm and body armor after being arrested on outstanding warrants, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office.

On Sunday, May 7, Devonta Moore, 19, was arrested on a felony probation violation warrant as well as other warrants in Eastpointe. When he was arrested, he was found with a firearm and body armor, according to a press release from the Prosecutor’s Office.

Moore was charged with felon in possession of a firearm and felon in possession of ammunition, both five-year felonies, and two counts of felony firearm, a mandatory two-year felony.

Magistrate Mark Makowski arraigned Moore May 8 in Eastpointe’s 38th District Court. Makowski set Moore’s bond at $200,000 cash or surety. He was scheduled for a preliminary examination at 1 p.m.

June 6 in front of District Court Judge Kathleen Galen.

“Mr. Devonte Moore is a young man with exponential growth opportunity,” his attorney, Jennipher Colthirst, said in a text message. “He has a lot on his plate right now, but he is looking forward to the day it will all be history.”

Back on Aug. 1, according to Eastpointe police, Moore escaped police custody while being transported after his arraignment at the 38th District Court.

Moore was taken into custody during a traffic stop Aug. 4 after Eastpointe police detectives tracked him to Interstate 96 near Brighton.

Roseville man found guilty of 3 counts of criminal sexual conduct with minor

ROSEVILLE — A 59-year-old Roseville man was found guilty on three counts of criminal sexual conduct with a minor.

On Monday, May 15, Mark Boodry was convicted by a jury on two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a felony punishable by up to life in prison; and one count of second-degree criminal sexual conduct (victim under 13, defendant over 17), a 15-year felony.

Boodry is scheduled to be sentenced at 8:30 a.m. July 19 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Joseph Toia.

Vehicle windows smashed

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 2:49 p.m. May 3, officers were dispatched to the 51000 block of Shelby Road for a vandalism report. The caller stated that a known acquaintance of hers had come by her residence and smashed out all the windows of her car.

Officers located the male suspect nearby. The suspect had cuts on his hands, police said. Police found video footage that reportedly showed the suspect holding a brick in his hand and smashing out all the windows of the car. The suspect was placed under arrest for malicious destruction of property and transported to the Police Department.

Robbery reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 8:43 a.m. on May 14, a report was made of a robbery that happened the same day in the 21000 block of Harper Avenue.

Six officers and a sergeant responded to the scene. Upon arrival, an officer spoke with one of the clerks, a 64-year-old woman, who said a man wearing a black ski mask and a black coat took over $500.

She said the man entered the business with his hand in his coat pointing what she believed to be a gun at a clerk. The suspect did not say he had a gun. The suspect said he needed money and started to open the registers and take all the money. The suspect then went northbound on Harper Avenue.

Officers secured the parking lot with caution tape and waited for a K-9 unit to arrive. The unit was from Warren and the officer called more officers to assist with the track.

The officer was able to view camera footage. The suspect was reportedly seen entering the business, opening most of the cash drawers, taking the bills, calmly leaving the premises and heading northbound on Harper. On camera, the officer observed a fourdoor vehicle parked facing the east side of Harper.

The vehicle arrived shortly before the robbery and left shortly after. It was unknown if it was involved.

Other officers received calls and were approached regarding the incident from multiple people. Another officer was able to collect possible evidence from the scene. Other businesses were also able to provide video.

Suspected counterfeit bill passed

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 6:37 p.m. on May 4, a report was made of alleged fraud on the same day in the 22000 block of Greater Mack Avenue, involving an alleged counterfeit bill.

Upon arrival, an officer made contact with the manager, a 57-year-old woman, who was on a video call with her staff. She said that two male subjects arrived in a black vehicle just before the call. One of them could be seen passing a counterfeit $20 bill to make a $12 purchase for a sweatshirt. The staff said the two suspects have attempted to pass fake bills multiple times at the store, but the staff had stopped them before today.

The staff turned over the two suspected counterfeit bills; the first one was a clear fake, and the second was a more sophisticated bill with a brown mark on it. The first was said to be caught by staff at a previous date and no purchases were made with it.

The second was used to buy the sweatshirt.

The vehicle used was registered to a 29-year-old man who matched the description of one of the subjects. The second suspect who passed the counterfeit bill was unknown.

Juveniles run through mall, fight

STERLING HEIGHTS — Juveniles were reported to be running through Lakeside Mall, 14200 Lakeside Circle, the evening of May 6, and at one point, around 12 juveniles were allegedly part of a group that was fighting.

According to a police report, at some point, the fighting parties had broken up. When police got there and checked out the parking lot, the juveniles were apparently gone.

Juveniles pretend to ride bikes from Flint to Sterling

STERLING HEIGHTS — A caller told police May 6 that four juvenile bicyclists who “looked lost and excitable” by the Sterling Heights Nature Center

were saying they lived in Flint and had ridden all the way to Sterling Heights. Police later learned that the juveniles were all Sterling Heights residents, and they reportedly were just fooling with the caller and thought the caller was laughing and taking it as a joke. Police took no further action.

Indecent exposure suspect sought

GROSSE POINTE CITY — An unknown male suspect was being sought by police after he reportedly exposed himself to a woman in the area of Charlevoix Avenue and Grosse Pointe Court at around 12:05 p.m. May 16.

Prop money used for real purchases

GROSSE POINTE CITY — Police said a pair of unknown suspects made eight purchases of less than $10 each over the course of several hours at Panera in The Village May 16 using $100 bills for each purchase and receiving more than $90 back in change each time. Police said the suspects were using movie prop $100 bills. A report states that the same cashier was responsible for each of these transactions.

Radar detector taken

GROSSE POINTE WOODS — An unknown suspect is said in a police report to have stolen a radar detector from the dashboard of a vehicle while it was parked in the driveway of a home in the 800 block of Woods Lane between 4:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. May 14.

Police said there were no signs of forced entry and the victim said he wasn’t sure whether the vehicle was locked at the time of the larceny.

Leaf blowers stolen

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Unknown suspects are said to have made off with three RedMax backpack leaf blowers worth a total of more than $2,000 while they were in a landscape trailer parked in the 1300 block of Audubon Road at around 3:50 p.m. May 16.

The crew was working in the backyard of the home when the larceny occurred, a police report states. A witness told police the suspects had been circling the area before they approached the trailer. While no description of the suspects was available, the witness told police they were driving in a white Jeep Compass and a white Chevy Trailblazer.

Flag swiped

GROSSE POINTE PARK — A police report states that an unknown suspect took a “Trump 2024 Make America Great Again” flag from the front porch of a residence in the 1000 block of Beaconsfield Avenue between the hours of 10 p.m. May 18 and 11 a.m.
