Shelby and Utica put part of water and sewer MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY payments in escrow until state settles debt dispute ON MACKINAC ISLAND

S

BY GREG TASKER

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 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.

Mackinac from page 1A

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.

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 Perched atop a bluff overlooking the har-

bor, 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.

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.

Lathrup Village presents 2023 garden tour

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

LATHRUP VILLAGE — Lathrup Village’s annual garden tour has lain dormant for a number of years, but thanks to the efforts of Kirsti Hart-Negrich and volunteers from the Lathrup Village Nature Group, the garden tour has sprouted back up.

This year’s garden tour will feature seven local gardens, including native plants, water features, plant collections, garden rooms, hardscaping and more.

In addition to private gardens, the tour will also feature the city’s community garden, Pride and Produce; the Lathrup Village Children’s Garden, which has been around for over 20 years and invites residents to adopt a plot in the 4,000-square-foot garden; and the newest public garden, a prairie garden with Michigan native plants and grasses. All three gardens are located at the Lathrup Village Municipal Building, 27400 Southfield Road.

The revival of the garden tour serves as a way for community gardeners to gather and share their love of gardening and tips

Operation HOPE, GreenPath strive to increase financial literacy

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK

kpentiuk@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT —Many people view money as taboo and tend to keep their financial struggles in the dark.

However, nonprofits such as Operation HOPE and GreenPath Financial Wellness are helping those who struggle “to put their money where their mouth is” get on track and reclaim their financial freedom.

The nonprofit Operation HOPE, in partnership with

Bank of America, is expanding its HOPE Inside program, which offers free, in-person financial coaching services in 17 markets nationwide and 10 areas across Metro Detroit, including Center Line, Dearborn, Detroit, Lincoln Park and Southfield.

Operation HOPE is a nonprofit dedicated to providing equal and equitable financial opportunities to all since 1992.

Bank of America teamed up with Operation HOPE in 2020 to launch HOPE Inside to help people build savings, improve their credit scores and decrease debt. According to Bank

of America, on average, participating clients have “improved their FICO scores by 21 points, increased their yearly savings by $4,313 and reduced their annual debt by $837.” With the success of HOPE Inside at the end of last year, they announced that the program would be expanded to 180 financial centers, including Metro Detroit.

Though the program launched just a little over a month ago in metro Detroit, Reginald Hinton Sr., the vice president and community banking market leader who oversees the

Southfield native serves aboard U.S. Navy amphibious warship in Japan

SOUTHFIELD — Seaman Antoine Burks is a Southfield native who is currently serving in Japan abroad on the USS Green Bay U.S. Navy warship. Burks graduated from Canton High School in 2021 and joined the Navy one year ago.

Burks serves in Japan as part of the Forward Deployed Naval Forces to maintain a free and open Indo-Pacific region as part of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which has the largest area of responsibility in the world.

The USS Green Bay is an amphibious warship, which embarks, transports and lands U.S. Marines for a variety of warfare missions, such as supporting humanitarian and various contingency missions on short notice.

“The Navy is about maturing, learning how to work with people, having camaraderie and working smarter, not harder,” Burks stated in a press release.

Burks said he takes his role very seriously and views it as an opportunity to be a positive role model for his siblings. He thanked his father for making his Navy career possible.

SOUTHFIELD — The city of Southfield is accepting nominations for residents who have gone above and beyond to enhance the city’s beauty with the 2023 Community Pride Awards.

Police warn residents of jury duty phone scam

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

LTU joins $4.8M Oakland County grant program

SOUTHFIELD — Lawrence Technological University announced May 4 that they are joining United Way for Southeastern Michigan, Pontiac Parks and Recreation and the YMCA of Oakland County in the use of $4.8 million American Rescue Plan Act funds to help children and youth catch up in educational gaps caused by the coronavirus pandemic through a program called “Out of School Time Grants.”

The program will serve more than 11,000 Oakland County youth through activities such as tutoring, college readiness, support for neurodiversity students, youth sports, and specialty academic programs in areas such as coding, music, reading and mathematics.

LTU’s part of the grant includes 100 high school students from 10 Oakland County communities — Hazel Park, Holly Township, Keego Harbor, Madison Heights, Oak Park, Pontiac, Southfield, Wixom, Royal Oak Township and Walled Lake — in the university’s summer science and technology camps, a value of up to $950 per student.

Students can apply for the grant by using the code “Oakland” at checkout.

The application deadline is June 10. For more information, visit https://www.ltu.edu/summer-camps/.

OAKLAND COUNTY — Police in Oakland County are warning residents to be wary of an uptick in phone scams from people impersonating local police and threatening residents’ arrest because they didn’t show up for jury service.

In the past three weeks, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said, at least a dozen residents have been contacted by callers posing as Sheriff ’s Office personnel.

In each instance, the impersonator says there is an arrest warrant out because the victim didn’t appear for jury duty in either federal or state court. They say the only way to set the warrant aside is to pay a $900 cash bond — in either bitcoin or gift cards.

The caller, Bouchard noted, often uses the actual name of a person who is a deputy or commander in the Sheriff ’s Office and provides the victim with a phone number they say will connect them to the Sheriff ’s Office.

When the victim calls the provided number, a recorded message states the caller has reached the Sheriff ’s Office and all personnel are busy on other calls. The caller is then asked to leave a callback number, which the scammer uses to call them back, giving specific instructions as to how to make the necessary transaction, including providing an account number for the bitcoin deposit or the registration numbers for the gift cards.

Bouchard said at least two of the victims in Oakland County did pay the requested $900. Earlier victims were told they must pay as much as $5,000 to avoid arrest.

Bouchard said it is a scam if anyone ever calls and demands money over the phone.

Michigan Fashion Week is in style

BY MARIA ALLARD

allard@candgnews.com

DETROIT — Glitz, glamour and graffiti will enhance Eastern Market’s Shed 3 when the annual Michigan Fashion Week sashays down the runway June 15-16.

Fashion followers are invited to enjoy two nights of fashion shows featuring styles from local designers. Thursday night has been dubbed “Streetwear Showcase,” and the audience will get a look at styles straight from the streets of the Motor City.

“It’s a fun, casual street style. Detroit is known for their graffiti streetwear and rugged look,” MFW CEO and founder Loren Hicks said. “It’s sweatshirts, painted jeans, gym shoes, graffiti shirts, hats and beanies.”

Friday night’s “High-Fashion Showcase” will turn the spotlight on one-of-akind couture looks.

“It will have a Met Gala-type feel,” Hicks said. “It’s a very formal fashion show.”

Doors open at 5 p.m. both evenings with the fashion shows beginning at 7 p.m.

Models, designers, vendors, photographers, videographers, buyers and sponsors will all come together to put on an entertaining eve-

ning with all the current fashion trends.

“It’s definitely high-energy and very lively,” Hicks said. “It’s a lot of work but we have a great time. I have a great team.”

MFW originated in 2012 when Hicks thought it was time to have a fashion week modeled after Paris, New York City and Los Angeles.

“I saw the need for this here,” Hicks said. “Michigan is full of talented individuals. This provides an avenue for fashion students to stay here in Michigan.”

“Michigan Fashion Week provides the bridge between fashion designers, models, photographers, advertising agencies, model agencies, fine artists, make-up and hair stylists, exhibitors, and entrepreneurs in the beauty, and fashion industry directly to consumers. Michigan Fashion Week strives to produce an upscale quality event with the overall goal of bringing awareness and economic growth to the international fashion industry,” a MFW press release states. “Our objective is to provide real business opportunities to fashion designers and fashion businesses to showcase their skills and abilities in the most professional way.”

Behind Kirsti Hart-Negrich’s home is a garden oasis filled with colorful annual flowers and wildflowers that are expected to bloom soon.

Garden from page 3A

for new gardeners, and is an opportunity to meet neighbors.

Kirsti Hart-Negrich, who will show her native garden, expressed excitement for the upcoming event.

“It’s going to be fun. Our garden is primarily a native garden, and many of the volunteers who are showing their gardens are also experts in different areas, so there are some people who are really good with pollinator plantings. And for me, composting.”

Hart-Negrich explained that this is the first event to surface for the Nature Group as the garden club that once existed aged out, and if there’s a desire from the community, she’d be happy to see more nature and garden-type events crop up.

Nancy Perchard is gearing up to show her garden that she and her husband, Don, have maintained since 1994, which is considered a mature garden, since it’s been around for over 20 years.

“It’s kind of a strolling garden, like in an English cottage garden style,” Perchard said.

“It has little garden rooms in it with trees and shrubs and a mix of native and exotic plants.

It’s animal friendly and all-organic, for the most part. It has an antique swimming pool and, believe it or not, a bomb shelter from the ’50s.”

Perchard admitted that she felt her large garden, which is about an acre, fell to the waysides a few years ago due to her dedication to rescuing and rehoming stray cats.

However, Perchard stated that the garden tour has been a great way for her and her husband to return to spending time together in their garden. Perchard added that her three cats love to play in the garden and distract their owners when they’re working in the yard.

“We started this garden when we were in our 30s, and I wanted to have the biggest garden I could,” Perchard joked. “But now that we’re older, oh my God, what the heck were we thinking? But it’s great exercise and our way of getting back to nature.”

Tickets cost $10 and can only be purchased the day of the event, Saturday, June 24, at Lathrup Village City Hall.

Each ticket is a map of the seven gardens. The event will take place 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The proceeds from the tickets will go towards the purchasing and planting of trees in Lathrup Village’s city parks to replace those that were lost in ice storms. In the case of rain, the event will be rescheduled to June 25.

For more information on how to volunteer with the Nature Group, visit their Facebook page, “Lathrup Village Nature Group.”

Juneteenth from page 1A

after Congress passed the Juneteenth National Independence Day Act. Juneteenth commemorates the emancipation of enslaved African Americans. The holiday originated in Galveston, Texas, and has been celebrated annually on June 19 since 1885. Although President Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, the news did not reach enslaved people in Texas for another 2 1/2 years. Juneteenth represents freedom, unity and a celebration of African American culture.

According to Palina Drake, president of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority Inc.’s Pi Tau Omega Chapter, Southfield became one of the first cities in Michigan to honor Juneteenth when former AKA President Zena M. Kyles pitched the idea to Mayor Kenson Siver, and in 2020, Southfield was set to have its first weeklong Juneteenth celebration.

Unfortunately, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the celebration was pushed back the following year, and the celebration was held in 2021.

“Southfield is a very diverse community of all races and nationalities, and we all live harmoniously together.

And I was very impressed that the mayor felt the need to acknowledge this national holiday,” Drake stated.

Maurice Imhoff is a 21-year-old activist and historian, and he is hosting an event called “Born Free & Equal Michigan’s Colored Regiment.”

ored Regiment, also known as the 102nd United States Colored Troops. Imhoff is passionate about African American history in Michigan and has been reenacting in uniform since 2014.

“I’ve had several guys get involved, and they put that uniform on for the first time, and wow. I had one guy say, ‘I felt a part of something.’ There are so many stories that are significant to Michigan’s history that are untold. So to be able to share those stories and inspire others for positive change, but to talk about the dark times as well.” Imhoff ’s upcoming presentation includes the story of one of three African Americans lynched in Michigan, and he emphasizes the importance of passing these stories on.

Since Juneteenth’s beginning celebrations in 2021, Drake explained that things have shifted over the years, and Juneteenth is gaining more attention.

“We’ve been at this for three years now, and we’ve got a strong foundation and good standing in knowing what to do and how to keep things moving. And it’s funny — I look on Facebook and see that other cities are starting to emulate what we started. It’s a good thing for other cities to follow suit.”

‘It’s about the road trip’

BY MARIA ALLARD

ach 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 be rearranged to make bunk beds.

Breen has decorated the RV to make it “comfortable and cozy.” A white, fuzzy throw blanket, for in-

Karen E. Breen, of Birmingham, likes to hit the open road in her 1978 GMC Royale motor home she purchased in 2016.

Breen has traveled to New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia, Cleveland and northern Michigan.

stance, 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 See ROYALE on page 15A

STAY COOL AND KEEP ENERGY BILLS LOW THIS SUMMER

BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

W

ith 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.

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.

CRIME WATCH Car thieves ram gate at dealership

SOUTHFIELD — On May 21, Officers were dispatched to a car dealership in the 28000 block of Telegraph Road at 1:29 a.m. May 21 for a breaking and entering and unlawful driving away of an automobile incident.

Dispatchers advised officers that five unknown males wearing dark-colored clothing and masks were seen taking a silver pickup truck and a white SUV, turning left out of the parking lot and leaving the scene.

The suspects were gone once the officers arrived at the scene.

Upon further investigation, it was found that the suspects had rammed the metal security gate protecting the vehicles in the parking lot on the east side of the building.

A portion of the gate had fallen on top of a nearby vehicle.

The gate appeared to have been rammed as the suspects left the parking lot.

Officers found an unoccupied white Chrysler Pacifica in the east parking lot, which was left running with the headlights on. There was no damage to this vehicle.

Police said that suspects entered the premises through a broken-out glass panel on the garage door on the north side of the building. Officers noted that inside the business, the suspects went through several drawers.

Further investigation revealed that two vehicles had been stolen from the dealership, a 2021 black Jeep Grand Cherokee and a 2019 gray Dodge Ram. The vehicles were trade-ins and are still registered in the old owners’ names. The Jeep was located at a residence in Roseville by an auto theft task force. The Ram was recovered on May 23 at 12:30 p.m. by the Detroit Police Department. It was located at a residence in Detroit.

No arrests have been made; the investigation is still ongoing.

Classmate’s parents accused of attacking student

SOUTHFIELD — On May 16 at 8:42 a.m., officers were summoned to a school in the 16000 block of Mount Vernon to speak with a student regarding an alleged assault from the day before. The student stated that the day before, at 3:10 p.m., he was riding his bike southbound on Evergreen Road, near 12 Mile Road, when a black truck came at him. To avoid being hit, he had to get off his bike.

After the commotion, he saw the father of a classmate that he had been having issues with exit the truck and walk toward him. The student stated that he ran towards a nearby church’s parking lot, and the father allegedly chased him. The parent is accused of knocking the student to the ground and assaulting him.

While the student was on the ground, his classmate’s mother and his classmate began kicking and assaulting him, according to a police report. A person passing by observed the fight and approached, yelling at the family to stop.

The student got up and hid in a nearby backyard, where he called his mom for help.

He told police that his bike and shoes were stolen during the attack. He suffered several injuries to his face, so he was transported to the hospital for further evaluation and treatment.

The investigation is ongoing, and police have found that this appears to be an ongoing problem between the two students.

Woman arrested for disturbing the peace, assaulting an officer and resisting arrest

SOUTHFIELD — A woman was reported to be kicking doors and throwing garbage cans at a motel in the 22000 block of Telegraph Road at 12:34 a.m. May 21.

The desk clerk at the motel told the police what the woman was doing and stated that he wanted her evicted from the premises.

Officers approached the suspect’s door, and when she answered, she began yelling about the clerk.

Officers explained to her that she was being evicted and that she had to leave immediately. She initially told the police that she was not leaving because she lived there and had paid for the entire week.

After the officers explained the law to her multiple times, she began to pack her things. However, while packing, she would stop and call out to the officers to yell at them. This persisted for 30-40 minutes as the officers waited for her to finish packing. After packing, she carried her suitcase to the balcony and began screaming across the parking lot at the clerk and another subject in the parking lot. Officers advised her multiple times that she was disturbing the peace and needed to stop.

While the officers were taking her to her car and telling her not to return to the property, she allegedly struck an officer. She was then arrested, and police transported her to the Southfield lockup.

Upon arrival, she refused to exit the patrol car and locked her leg on the door.

Officers had to forcefully remove her

from the patrol vehicle and escort her to the lockup via the elevator, police said. The suspect then made a noise that sounded like she was going to spit on the officers, and the officers pressed her body against the door to avoid this. While in lockup, the officers were escorting her to the behavior modification unit, and she began slamming an officer into

the wall. Once in the jail cell, the suspect resisted officers and assaulted another officer, police said.

The suspect is being charged with disturbing the peace, assault and battery of a police officer, and resisting and obstructing a police officer.

program at Bank of America, explained that around 60 clients have scheduled appointments at the participating locations.

“What we hear in my market the most is about how to improve credit. That’s a big one because of the economy right now. Part of our structure and framework, when we’re engaging with clients, is a tool called ‘Life Plan,’ and it’s basically when we are asking probing questions about what’s important to that client so that we are able to offer solutions that are need-based. One of the things that they talk about with the economy is the inability to save. We give them ways that they can save, through various programs, making sure that we put them in the right product, and other things that we are able to guide the conversation to make sure that it’s client-centric so that we’re meeting the immediate and long-term needs of that client.”

HOPE Inside helps individuals become more financially literate through the personalized plan that their banking associate helps to curate for them based on their Life Plan.

From there, the client is given resources that help them get on track for the financial goal that they are trying to obtain. Following the first consultation, the banking associate will provide ongoing assistance to the client, answering any questions and supporting them in reaching their goals.

Hinton added that the appointment process is simple — scan a QR code that collects their primary contact information so that “they have everything at their fingertips to our technology to make it easier for our clients to stay connected with us.” Walk-ins are also welcome.

“Our company has an initiative right now that we’ve committed to $1.25 billion in loans, especially, specifically, in low-to-moderate income areas over the next five years. So our guidelines are not as stringent as they once were in a normal market. Through Operation HOPE Inside, with the down payment assistance programs, it’s making some of these clients change their whole mindset about being a homeowner and creating generational wealth in the process. I’m very proud that our company has taken such a stance on making sure that we’re actively engaged in using our resources to do that.”

GreenPath Financial Wellness is another local nonprofit dedicated to making a difference in the lives of those who feel overwhelmed by debt management.

While most counseling sessions take place over the phone, GreenPath offers in-person sessions at the Detroit location, 2470 Collingwood St. “Our biggest thing that we started out was providing holistic financial counseling that addresses our clients’ or consumers’ full picture of their financial situation, from housing to utilities, car payments, credit card debt, or any type of other debt as well,” Graham stated.

GreenPath provides free budget counseling sessions to anyone, even if they aren’t struggling financially and are just looking to get ahead of their spending habits. The counseling sessions connect clients with associates to discuss their goals and current financial state, and to create a plan to meet those goals.

Clients can then access their plan and track their progress through an online portal on GreenPath’s website.

Graham expressed that one of the most common topics that clients come in looking for help with is credit card debt management.

In 2022, GreenPath managed 49,000 debt management programs. GreenPath is a nationally recognized Housing and Urban Development agency, which allows them to provide pre-purchasing counseling for first-time homebuyers. Graham explained that though GreenPath does not provide financial assistance for down payments, they can provide a certificate that can help buyers with other programs that do provide financial assistance.

For those struggling financially, Graham advises them to take a deep breath and understand that they aren’t alone in this.

“The biggest problem I see clients coming in with is help with these credit cards, because they’re high interest. But really, that’s not the biggest problem that they have. The biggest problem is that if they paid all their bills without using credit cards, they’d be $1,000 short in their budget. So they were using the credit cards to supplement their income.” To remedy this, Graham suggests going through your budget and looking at the cash coming in compared to the cash going out without using credit cards. Seeing where you stand can help you make decisions on what your best option going forward is.

K E E W E H T F O RIME C • K E E W E F TH O E M I R C • K NEWSWORTHY OF THE WEE 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.

Former employee warned not to return to market

WEST BLOOMFIELD — An employee of a business was terminated from employment due to allegedly making threats to fellow employees at 2:40 p.m. April 28.

The employee was contacted via phone by the West Bloomfield Police Department and given a trespass warning to not return to the market.

Cellphone hack drains bitcoin

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — On May 9, Bloomfield Township police took a fraud report from a resident in the 4000 block of Pine Tree Trail. The victim said his personal cellphone was hacked through a SIM swap -- a removable card that stores data -- and $204,024.15 worth of bitcoin had been withdrawn from his Coinbase account. The case was under investigation.

Bank card stolen from ATM

BIRMINGHAM — On May 2 at 10:06 a.m., an officer was dispatched to take a fraud report.

The victim, a 62-year-old woman from Birmingham, reported that she had left her bank card in the exterior drive-thru ATM at Comerica Bank. Witnesses reported a vehicle pulled up to the ATM after the victim left, and the suspect used the woman’s card to withdraw $500 from her bank account.

Comerica Bank refunded the victim $500, and the victim canceled her debit card. An investigation was ongoing.

Residents caught dumping illegally

FARMINGTON — Police officers were dispatched to a local business on Grand River Avenue for a report of illegal dumping at 12:44 p.m. May 4.

Officers learned that the business owners had

observed two subjects throwing items into their Dumpster without permission. Officers were able to track the responsible individuals to a local residence, where the culprits were educated on illegal dumping laws.

Stolen moped pulled over

FARMINGTON — At 7:41 p.m. May 5, a Farmington officer conducted a traffic stop on a moped that did not show a valid registration sticker.

During the investigation, the officer discovered that the driver had provided the officer with a false name.

Officers ran the vehicle’s vehicle identification number through the Law Enforcement Information Network and learned that the moped had been stolen in Lansing. Officers confirmed with Lansing police that the moped had been stolen. The driver was arrested for showing a false ID to a police officer, as well as receiving and concealing stolen property.

Shoplifter arrested

HAZEL PARK — According to a police report, a 32-year-old Detroit man stole more than $340 in groceries from a Kroger store in Hazel Park around 8:50 p.m. May 1.

He was arrested and the stolen goods were recovered roughly a half-mile away.

Police were investigating.

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.

While speaking with the man, officers located an open bottle of whiskey. The man became agitated and began screaming profanities.

Security system alerts residents of home invasion

Student attacked by 3 classmates

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the 1900 block of Traceky on the report of a possible breaking and entering in progress at 11:03 a.m. April 22.

The residents, who were out of town, said their security video system alerted them to an unknown female inside their residence without their permission. The person had left, but the caller provided a description of her and the vehicle, including the plate number, she had arrived in.

Deputies checked the residence but observed no signs of forced entry. Police believe the doors were left unlocked.

The residents were contacted via Facetime, and a walk-through was conducted. It appeared that nothing was taken. The residents were advised to complete an inventory once they returned home, and the residence was secured.

Upon further investigation, the suspect — a 44-year-old Ortonville woman — was found to have been involved in an unrelated incident on Texas Avenue in Rochester Hills.

Deputies responded, located the responsible woman and investigated.

The woman was taken into custody and was transported to the Oakland County Jail for processing and housing.

Woman tasered after noise complaints bring police to party

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the 1600 block of Bedford Square for a noise complaint from a loud party at 12:59 a.m. April 23.

Deputies spoke with the lessee, a 23-year-old from Auburn Hills. Deputies were called back out to the location a second time on the same loud party complaint and witnessed a large party spill out into the hallway.

TROY PRESCHOOLERS HELP PLANT NEW TREES

Fights ensued between people attending the party, but deputies were able to de-escalate several of the altercations. At that time, a fight broke out between a 22-year-old from Pontiac and a 21-yearold from Pontiac. Deputies attempted to separate the two females, who continued to fight around and over deputies. Police had to deploy a Taser to gain control over one of the females. Both were then taken into custody.

The two females were issued citations, and one of them was treated by the Rochester Fire Department, was transported to the Oakland County Jail for processing and was released pending further investigation. The apartment lessee was also issued citations.

SOUTHFIELD — A student at a school in the 24000 block of Garner Street reportedly was jumped by three students in a locker room at 3 p.m. May 9.

Prior to the attack, the student observed some girls at school arguing and fighting, according to a police report. The victim stated that she had attempted to stay out of the drama but then began receiving harassing texts from one of the girls claiming that she wanted to fight her.

On May 9, the victim was in the locker room when three girls allegedly jumped and assaulted her multiple times, and the victim’s phone was allegedly stolen by the girls. The incident was recorded, and video shows one of the girls running toward the victim, grabbing her by her hair and assaulting her. The victim is then held down while the other two girls begin to assault her as well. The victim was eventually able to get up and flee the locker room. The three girls were identified, and the investigation was ongoing.

Cars targeted by thieves

TROY — Several Troy residents were targeted by an unknown suspect or suspects stealing parts from their vehicles in recent weeks.

Sometime between 3 p.m. April 30 and 7:59 a.m. May 1, the driver’s side rear wheel of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu was stolen in the 1900 block of Hempstead Street.

On May 1, between 12:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., the driver’s side front wheel was stolen from a 2023 Ford Focus parked in the 2800 block of Saratoga Street.

The license plate from a vehicle parked outside its owner’s home in the 4000 block of Three Oaks Boulevard was stolen at some point between 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. May 4.

Police were investigating and had not indicated whether they think the crimes may be linked.

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.
