Shorewood Kiwanis donates money for pickleball courts
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
In a 6-0 vote at their meeting on May 19, members of the St. Clair Shores City Council approved the receipt of a donation
from the Shorewood Kiwanis to create more pickleball courts within the city.
Councilman Ronald Frederick was excused for this meeting.
According to items attached to the meeting agenda, the donation was in the
amount of $102,000. The Kiwanis approached the St. Clair Shores Parks and Recreation Department in January of this year and after discussions between Kiwanis board members, they approved this amount.
“The current site holds 2 pickleball courts within a tennis court-sized area, which is not ideal for pickleball conditions,” the agenda items said about the current courts. “With the rapid growth of pickleball across the country and the slowing trend of

Child injured in golf cart collision on parade day
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
An injury crash involving a golf cart occurred at 11 Mile Road and Harper Avenue on May 25, before the St. Clair Shores Memorial Day Parade officially kicked off.
According to a press release from the St. Clair Shores Police Department, a 75-year-old man in a golf cart struck an adult man and child while they walked on the sidewalk. The child sustained injuries and was taken to the hospital by ambulance.
The 75-year-old operator of the cart was uninjured. He was reportedly cited for violations, and his golf cart was impounded. The driver had not been consuming alcohol, according to police.
Police Chief Jason Allen said in an email the man did not experience a medical emergency during the crash.
The city of St. Clair Shores offered a “clarification” on their Facebook page stating the golf cart operator was assisting the announcers and was driving a personal cart. The man remained on the scene as police and medical personnel arrived. They also reiterated that no drugs or alcohol were involved in the crash.

Where fantasy becomes a reality
Have
a fantastical time at the Michigan Fantasy Fest June 14-15
BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Fantasy and reality will meet in St. Clair Shores at this year’s Michigan Fantasy Fest.
Aubrey Meade, an organizer, said she has an entertainment background including opera and stilt walking. She said she loves outdoor events such as Renaissance festivals and concerts which inspired her to create her own event.
“I think the performance aspect and how fun these events are and how I guess how many performances there kind of are around the grounds and things, that was really interesting to me, and I’ve always wanted to organize bigger events,” Meade said.
Miranda Marshall, another organizer, also has a background in performance and theatrical displays. She said she has done performances with Mead and that they have been friends for a long while. She has also worked at many different pop culture conventions and has taken part in game design.
“Both of us really just loved fantasy in general and so while working on another project we had mentioned like this would be something that would be perfect for both of us to do, that we’re both really into, that would utilize both our skillsets,” Marshall said. “And we’ve been having a lot of fun.”
Many different vendors, performers and food options will be at the festival. A few notable performances include mermaids swimming in a tank, a stilt walker and stage performers. Meade said they have over 100 merchants with different items for sale including jewelry, body care, henna, face-painting and wands.
The event will be held from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on June 14 and June 15. It will be held at the Cpl. Walter F. Bruce VFW Post 1146, located at 28404 Jefferson Avenue. There will See FANTASY on page 11A
St. Clair Shores Figure Skating Club finds magic in ‘Aladdin’
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
Over the final weekend of April, the St. Clair Shores Figure Skating Club performed its annual ice show at Civic Arena.
The event was a massive success, not only because of the big turnout and positive reception of the show, but the kids participating had fun performing and acting out a childhood movie.
“The last few years we’ve been trying to do more of a theater on ice approach,” St. Clair Shores Figure Skating Club Ice Show Director Claire LaDue said. “I think the kids really enjoyed that part of it.”
This year’s performance was “Disney’s Aladdin on Ice,” and the skaters, parents and audience all loved it.
“I think the community is recognizing it as real entertainment. We’re seeing that in the numbers and the ticket sales,” LaDue said. “I see people come back on Sunday because they enjoyed it so much.”
Participation was also a success this year with record high numbers of parents and
students. The numbers highlight the continued growth of the sport and the club itself.
“In the 17 years that I’ve been there this year was the most skaters I had in the show,” LaDue said. “I had maybe like 27 parents that wanted to be in the adult number. Years ago, I could barely scrape together five or six. But they’re seeing how much fun their kids are having, and they want to be a part of it. It was the most fun thing.”
Some parents were a part of the club when they were younger and are now participating with their kids. Today, the show and club continue to inspire the next generation.
“Our club is growing so obviously we’re attracting (new skaters),” LaDue said. “Every year kids come to see the show with their families. We have all of the council members come and they bring their grandkids and nieces and nephews.”
One of the reasons for the growth is the tradition of the spring show. The show has been annual for over 50 years and has become a staple in the community.
“It’s changed very much over the years,

St. Clair Shores Athletic Hall of Fame inducts 2025 class
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
On Sunday April 27, 2025, the city of St. Clair Shores inducted four people and three teams into the city’s Athletic Hall of Fame.
Don Fowler, Matt Trombley, Don Young, and Dave Divita are now forever linked with the city as their athletic achievements will be on display forever. The Hall of Fame also immortalized the three Lake Shore varsity football teams from 1975-
1978, which combined for just two total losses over the stretch.
“When you take a look at stuff like that, you want to see something that stands out,” St. Clair Shores Recreation Director and Hall of Fame Committee Member Rob Spinazzola said. “They barely lost, barely got scored on. The one year they went undefeated, they didn’t even get a chance at the playoffs because of how the system was set up. To honor that group, it was special for them.”

LOOKING BACK: ROSEVILLE CREAMERY CO. DAIRY BAR IN ST. CLAIR SHORES
The Roseville Creamery Co. had eight dairy bar locations in the area. The one pictured here, in a photo from the 1940s, was at 22535 Nine Mile Road (at Glen Court) in St. Clair Shores. There was a second location in the Shores, at 22425 Harper Avenue (south of 9 Mile Road).
Dairy bars were said to have begun in India in 1930. Started by an Englishman, the trend spread to the UK and was supported by temperance societies. The concept came to the U.S. in the 1930s as well. The shops, many established by local dairies, sold ice cream, milkshakes and soft drinks. Some had limited food menus, selling items like sandwiches and hamburgers. The inexpensive shops were popular, providing a place for young people to spend time and socialize with friends, as well as with families.
By 1955, the only Roseville Creamery dairy bar that was still in operation was the store on 12 Mile Road in Roseville, which had served as the base of operations for the creamery.

be food available for purchase. Admission is $10 for those 12 and older and $5 for those younger than 12. Parking is available at the post, but there is an overflow parking lot on Saturday at Lakeshore Presbyterian Church, located at 27801 Jefferson Avenue.
Eventgoers can dress up in cosplay or Renaissance and fantasy-inspired garb, Meade said, but it is not required to attend the event. There will also be merchants there who will be selling clothing items inspired by the Renaissance and fantasy.
Performers will wander the festival, Meade said, interacting with guests and taking photos with them.
This event is family friendly with things available for both adults and children.
“If you have kids, you don’t have to be worried about coming in because all the programming is designed to be kid friendly but it’s also a space for adults that just want to come in and enjoy some time, too,” Meade said.
No real weapons are allowed inside the event.
“At the Renaissance faire, some people will try to bring swords and stuff like that.
Obviously, we’re not encouraging that,” Meade said.
She does encourage people to bring sunglasses and sunscreen. Marshall said the rules are the same as any other public space.
“Just being respectful to other people,” Marshall said. “As people in the community say cosplay isn’t consent so stop and ask people if they’d like to take a picture with you so that they’re able to kind of pose and you both get a good picture.”
Outside alcohol is not allowed inside the event, but there will be adult beverages at the post for people to buy on Saturday.
Both Meade and Marshall are excited about the festival.
“Miranda and I have talked about doing an event like this forever and we’ve done so many other theatrical events. I think this is the first time we really focused on making it a marketplace, too,” Meade said.
She said she’s also happy that the event is held in St. Clair Shores.
“When we talked about it, we were like, ‘What kind of area doesn’t have that experience yet that’s local?’” Meade said. “Because not everybody can go to Holly to go to a huge festival, but they want to do something kind of close by, and so St. Clair Shores really is the perfect place for it.”
Marshall added that they’ve had this date set for over a year.
“It has been quite a journey, so we’re really excited to see it come to fruition,” Marshall said. Tickets can be purchased at shorturl.at/
qLOzQ or at the door. They take cash and cards, but there is a surcharge for any credit card transactions for tickets.

TAKE IT EASY RIDER
,
FATHER AND SON BUILD THEIR OWN ‘CAPTAIN AMERICAʻ E-BICYCLE
BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
David Royce was a kid in 1969 when the movie “Easy Rider” was released.
His favorite part of the film was the custom-built Harley-Davidson Panhead chopper motorcycle, “Captain America,” that Peter Fonda’s character, Wyatt, rode across the country.
David owned a Schwinn StingRay bicycle at the time. But whenever he gazed at promotional posters of “Easy Rider,” he wished for his own motorcycle with similar features.
Now he’s “racing with the wind” because David finally has his own replica of Fonda’s “Easy Rider” motorcycle. He and his son, Grant, custom built their own “Captain America” electric bicycle.
“It was a boyhood dream,” David said. “It’s a tribute to the chopper movement.”
It took the Rochester Hills duo
about 2 1/2 years to make the electric vehicle from scratch. A lot of planning went into it. During the process and with various materials, the guys created a few prototypes before completing the final version of the electric bicycle.
The e-bike is equipped with many modern-day safety features, including front and rear hydraulic disc brakes. David and Grant installed an electric motor in the rear hub to assist with the pedaling.
Each part of the bike serves a purpose. Two batteries help make the e-bike run. A larger battery is for propulsion, which David said is the pedal assist. A smaller battery operates the LED lighting system, which includes glow lights of different colors. The e-bike features fishtail exhaust pipes, and David even purchased a starsand-stripes helmet like Fonda’s “Easy Rider” character. The license plate reads “Grant’s Garage.”
Grant, 17, is an avid bicyclist. He was a member of the Rochester Unit-
ed Mountain Bike Racing Team while in school. The Rochester High School senior graduated last month and will now be a coach for the team. David knows quite a bit about working with machinery. His first career was as an aircraft mechanic. He eventually went back to school and earned a mechanical engineering design degree.
Building their own “Captain America” e-bike chopper required the pair to enroll in several classes at Maker Works in Ann Arbor, where they became skilled in woodworking, welding and more.
“We both did a little bit of everything. We had to cut and weld and design each piece,” Grant said. “I think it was a really good interpretation of the concept my dad had. I think it turned out really well.”
While building the bike, the father and son frequented salvage yards to look for motorcycle and car parts, which Grant described as “very in-

CRIME WATCH
Assault reported on Marter Road
At 2:25 p.m. on May 31, an assault was reported in the 23000 block of Marter Road.
An officer spoke to the victim, a 31-year-old woman, who stated a woman ordered food, ate and left without paying. Later, the woman returned, stating she was not happy with the food. She reportedly tried to return the soup and asked for a refund.
An employee told the woman she could not offer a cash refund and gave other options. The suspect reportedly grew hostile and threw a glass dragon at one customer and her bowl of soup at another. One customer offered the suspect $50, and she took it and left. The victim followed her outside where the suspect reportedly slapped her against the neck and pushed her to the ground. The suspect also allegedly smashed her vehicle door into her body when the victim approached. The victim took pictures of the vehicle and stepped away when the suspect revved her engine. The victim also stated the suspect purposely hit her with the bumper of the vehicle while leaving.
The victim was given a witness statement to fill out and was asked to gather evidence and place it on a flash drive for officers.
Planter stolen on Little Mack
At 7:40 a.m. on June 1, a case of larceny was reported in the 24000 block of Little Mack Avenue. The incident reportedly occurred the same day at 2:23 a.m.
A partial business owner, a 61-year-old man, met with officers and gave them a video to watch. On the video, an older male took a flower planter, placed it in his vehicle and drove away. The man stated this isn’t the first time the planters have been messed with and said he was sick of it.
The officer took photos, and the man provided an SD card with video of the incident. The planter cost around $250.

Home Care One Owner Perry Calisi believes in honesty, integrity, and compassion -- and has offered such quality care through his home care business for the past ffteen years in Grosse Pointe, St. Clair Shores, and Macomb Township in southeastern Michigan.
Home Care One provides assistance for seniors and patients in their homes, and helps with alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s Disease, hospital and nursing home sitting, interim care during hospice, physical and mental disability assistance for children and adults, and people recovering from surgery. Services also include full or part-time and 24hour care services, and daily living activities such as meal preparation, running errands, assistance with bathing, house cleaning, doctor visits and more.
as everything becomes more expensive,” he said.
“In my experience, more people have done better living in their home rather than facilities; just by familiarity and independence.”
Perry said he entered the business by hearing that someone needed help.
“I just set up my own business model for what I would want for my own mother,” he said. “I would want someone honest and compassionate in the house.”
Perry wants to increase community awareness about how his company offers these personalized services to keep your loved ones living independently at home. Perry added that he and his staff go further than the next by helping clients stay as independent as possible.
“The public should look at home care as a way of staying independent, and in one’s own home --
Perry said he tries to match his roughly 18 employees’ personality types with patients. “It assures that there is going to be an assimilation of getting along,” he said.
Betty, a client, said she is “really lucky” to have caregivers take really good care of her. “I get all that pampering,” she said smiling. “They’ve been with me ever since. I haven’t been let down for anything.”
Betty’s caregiver, Theresa, said Perry cares about his clients and he cares about his employees as well. “He is good about matching an employee with a client, which is nice,” she said. “We all work together. He cares all the way around... that is him in general.”

they can put those entry forms inside whatever prize jug they want to win,” Harville said.
The prizes change every week. If a patron wins, the library will contact them. Book bingo is also available this year for adults to enjoy. One winner will be chosen from all the book bingos. Programming is also available for adults though Harville did not have information about it at the time of the interview.
Liz Drewek, a St. Clair Shores Public Library youth services librarian, said young readers get the same program window, beginning on June 16 and running through Aug. 8. Youth services cover birth to 18 years old and the children are separated into four different age groups.
The kickoff party will be from 6 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. on June 16 where they can register for the summer reading program, get raffle tickets, enjoy activities such as magnet making and more.
“All of that’s pretty similar to what we have traditionally done,” Drewek said.
Programming with no required registration for the youth lasts for six weeks while the whole summer reading program lasts eight weeks. On Thursdays, projects will be available for children in grades three through six.
“They’re very hands-on projects usually with multiple steps involved so they need the fine motor skills and the ability to follow all those steps and work mostly independently,” Drewek said.
Registration for the program is required due to the hands-on nature of the activities.
Drewek said due to the theme, they will lean heavily into the art aspect, but there will also be music, nature, slime making and more.
Registration for the summer reading program must be done in person while reading and some of the programs can be done at home.
There will be an after-hours teen pro-
gram with nerf games and more.
“We haven’t done a teen after-hours program before since I’ve been here,” Drewek said. “We’ve done a couple adult ones. It’s fun for even us to be here with patrons after hours when no one else is allowed in.”
The nerf program will be from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. on July 11 and a tie dye party will be from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Both of these events are for kids in grades seven through 12.
The library’s tiny art program will also run during the programming. It’s for patrons 5 and older with canvas pick up on June 23 to June 30.
“And we’re going to have a big reveal event. We haven’t done that before,” Drewek said.
Canvases must be returned to the library July 21 through July 25, and the reveal will be from 6:30 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. on July 31.
The youth program will end with the touch-a-truck event from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. on Aug. 12 with multiple departments within the city bringing their vehicles for children to see. Patrons don’t have to be a part of the programming to take part in that.
Drewek and Harville watch patrons as they go through the program, from children to teens to adults.
“It’s nice to see that continuance,” Drewek said.
Drewek said once she gets over the initial panic of the amount of programming, she’s very excited for the summer. She said it’s a constantly changing program with new ideas popping up multiple different times during the process. Harville said some themes are easier to work with than others.
The summer reading program takes months to create. The librarians start work in the winter months and by February or March, patrons are eager to know what the theme is. Drewek said it gives her the boost to keep going.
For more information about summer programming, visit the library at 22500 11 Mile Road or go to its website at scslibrary. org.

teresting.” The handlebars, for instance, are from an old Harley-Davidson they found.
“We had to make adapters to go inside the handlebars to accept these,” David said. “A really fun part of the project was adapting motorcycle stuff to a bicycle application and adapting old stuff to new technology. We traipsed over a lot of old motorcycles that were scrapped out.”
The e-bicycle can go as fast as 25 mph. The bike will travel about 20 miles after it is charged. It’s a single-seater, but aesthetically it’s made to look like a two-seater.
“The seat on the back is more just for looks,” Grant said.
The bike did have some professional work done.
“The paint job was done at a professional place,” David said. “There’s some purchased parts — the tires, the fenders. The batteries are purchased.”
David and Grant also have another ebicycle, so they often go riding together on both vehicles in good weather. David loves to cruise to downtown Rochester and one stop is always O’Connor’s Public House.
He also rides “Captain America” to work, a 4-mile commute from home. The unique bike always starts a conversation. Many people initially think it’s a motorcycle.
“Everywhere we go, we get all kinds of compliments from people. It’s so much fun. Every day people yell, ‘What a cool bike,’” David said. “The prime one had to be I was riding to the gym and I had the glow lights on for the evening. The high school boys working at the burger place stuck their heads out of the drive-thru and yelled, ‘Dude, that thing is awesome.’”
David remembers his first cruise on the bike.
“It was wonderful. It was a great feeling,” he said. “First I rode it on pedals, and then I rode it with electric-motor assist. It was very smooth.”
David, an Air Force veteran, said “it was very special” to tackle the project with his son.
“He was very attentive. He was very patient in taking these classes while we meticulously went through every safety precaution. I do believe he learned a lot,” David said. “There are some skills you just can’t learn online, like when you’re operating the mill to cut away metal. You have to feel that with your hands. You can’t teach that on YouTube or LinkedIn or anything else.”

Vivian moved to St. Clair Shores in 1934 when the city was still developing and Nine Mile Road was the main thoroughfare. She said they moved to the city since her father passed away that year and her mother used the insurance to purchase a home.
“Otherwise, he had always liked the Shores, so that’s how we came here to the Shores,” Vivian said.
She went to South Lake during her school years, stating it was the most prominent school in the area for sports at the time.
“We had trophies, trophies, trophies,” Vivian said. “It was a beautiful group.”
She went on to say Edsel Ford donated the library to the school.
The streets in St. Clair Shores at the time were made of dirt and there were many ditches. Vivian said 13 Mile Road had one of the ditches. There was also a bank, a movie house, many different businesses, a pier at 11 Mile Road and more.
“We really were a family in the Shores,” Vivian said. “If you look at the names, they’re named after the families in the Shores.”
She gave examples such as Fresard and Allor, and said many of them were related to each other.
Vivian also called the South Lake district family, remembering classmates who died in service in the armed forces. Many South Lake students, Vivian said, worked at Jefferson Beach and it was the main meeting spot.
When Vivian graduated, she worked

at Parke-Davis before she went to Washington D.C. and worked as a clerk and in finance for the Maritime and War Shipping Administration for two years. After that she came back to the Shores and met her husband who had returned home from overseas. She remembers fun times spent at Veterans Memorial Park, hosting reunions. Vivian’s husband passed away in 1998 and they were married over 50 years.
Doug Tyrer, one of Vivian’s sons, said he was number four of the five siblings and that he had a good childhood. He said his mother was born into the Great Depression in the 1920s. She moved to the Standish area for a little bit before returning to the Shores.
Vivian said over the years she’s had many highs and lows, saying she’s “had it up in the mountaintops and down in the valleys.”
“They said, ‘What do you accredit your long life for?’” Vivian said. “Well, I’ll tell you what. I don’t know what I accredit my life to. But I do know that I can tell when I’m home in the Shores, because by the water you have a different breathing in and breathing out, I guess you say.”
She further explained in other cities she feels closed in.
“So people leave the Shores, but they come back to the Shores and the Shores is a wonderful place to be,” Vivian said.
She tells younger generations to love one another and to get to know one another because they really are like a family.
“Enjoy one another and seek the Lord,” Vivian said.

Hall of Fame
from page 8A
This is the first Hall of Fame class for St. Clair Shores since 2022 and the group was chosen by the selection committee, which looks over all of the nominated athletes every year.
This year, the nominees made up a strong class, with a handful of easy decisions.
“To be eligible someone has to nominate you. This was the group that we chose this year,” Spinazzola explained. “All of them went on to be exceptional college athletes. Just a special group of guys who were very honored to do this. We’re very appreciative of them.”
The ceremony was held at the Barrister Gardens Banquet Center in St. Clair Shores and was a great opportunity for inductees to catch up and speak to the city.
“I think we had a great event,” St. Clair Shores Assistant Event Coordinator Donna Hill said. “We chose a new venue this year and they were great with us.”
The inductees got a chance to speak and were acknowledged in front of the town while receiving their Hall of Fame plaques. They got one to take home and one is kept at the Civic Ice Arena.
“We talk about all of their accolades,
what they did in school, where they are now,” Hill explained. “Then they receive their beautiful plaque.”
Adding to the Athletic Hall of Fame is important for the community. It not only shines a light on the achievements that have occurred within the city limits, but it also inspires the next generation of students and children as well.
“You notice people looking and reading,” Hill said. “It’s very inspirational. (The kids) have a role model that was into sport… but (seeing) what they’ve accomplished in their life through the discipline of sports.”
Organizers said the new inductees have left an impact that will last a lifetime, and it’s a high honor to be rewarded in St. Clair Shores.
“I think it was a well-received event. The guys and ladies are pretty excited to be inducted,” Hill explained. “(Don Young) came from Texas to accept his award. That says a lot.”
For more information about the St. Clair Shores Athletic Hall of Fame, go to scsmi.net or email scsrecreation@scsmi.net.
The Hall of Fame is located at Civic Ice Arena in St. Clair Shores.

tennis, we feel that this project is a worthwhile endeavor.”
Carl Papa, president of the Shorewood Kiwanis, presented the item along with Parks and Recreation Director Rob Spinazzola. Papa explained at the meeting that the Shorewood Kiwanis has looked for projects in the city to work on as a way of putting the group’s name out there. He said that though they do a lot of work for kids in the city, not many people know who they are.
“We had something out there front and center which will put our name (out) and also benefit kids,” Papa said.
Papa said pickleball is huge, garnering the attention of young and old. He mentioned other cities that have pickleball accommodations.
He said St. Clair Shores needs more pickleball courts, stating that the six at the senior center are not enough.
“Shorewood is excited to partner with the city on this endeavor and to back it up, we are going to present a check for $102,000 later on this evening to put our money where our mouth is,” Papa said.
The pickle ball courts will be located at Kyte Monroe Park at 32701 Harper Avenue. Spinazzola said at one point, the city took two of the tennis courts at the park and converted it into a small pickleball court.
“However, the fencing system that is set up there is not adequate to how pickleball should be played and with the way pickleball is trending and the lack of tennis being played, we feel this is a worthwhile endeavor for us to move forward with,” Spinazzola said.
This project will create six new pickleball courts from two courts.
Mayor Kip Walby said the money donated is tremendous though they still have to put a little bit of money into the courts to complete one phase. Dustin Lent, St. Clair Shores city manager, explained the estimated
cost to renovate the courts is $186,480 that includes a 10% contingency.
The city applied for a grant to renovate the bathrooms at the Civic Ice Arena, but they were unsuccessful. Lent said they are going to try again and have allocated money in next year’s budget. Their matching portion for the grant was around $50,000.
“Since we were unsuccessful in that grant and now, we are going to be successful in this grant and the donation from the Kiwanis Club, I thought it’d be pertinent to be able to use some matching funds toward a matching project for the city,” Lent said.
That still leaves the city paying a little over $34,000 and Lent said they planned to use the contingency out of the general government fund. The grant and the general fund money amount to a total of $84,480.
Councilman and Mayor Pro Tem Dave Rubello thanked Papa and the Shorewood Kiwanis for the donation.
“Because that’s a mighty nice gesture right there,” Rubello said.
Councilwoman Candice Rusie said she remembered voting to have the courts redone and it doesn’t look like that happened. She said they were in rough shape.
“Thank you to the Kiwanis for helping us be able to renovate these. This is much needed,” Rusie said.
Councilman John Caron thanked the Kiwanis as well and he also asked when this was slated to be completed. Spinazzola said after the meeting that they planned to get the courts engineered as soon as possible.
“Get that bid out and then I would hope (for) construction sometime this summer or early fall,” Spinazzola said.
Caron asked for a more definitive timeline. He also asked about other projects within the city that need attention.
The Shorewood Kiwanis has plans to host a junior pickleball tournament in 2026 and Papa will also volunteer his time to teach kids pickleball in the same year.

Skaters perform a scene during the “Disney’s Aladdin on Ice” show at St. Clair Shores Civic Arena on April 27.
est stage, and everything in between. This show is important to the participants because it’s a celebration of hard work.
but I think it is definitely something that the community relies on,” St. Clair Shores Figure Skating Club President Aimee Miller said. “I hear that a lot from people. That this is something that they’ve been coming to for years and years since they were a little kid then grew up and took their kids to it.”
The most important attribute of the show is that it’s truly for everyone to be involved in. The show is a big production with a lot of moving parts, but the skaters range from year-round competitors to young kids in the Learn to Skate program.
“All genres of skaters participate. From our national level competitors… all the way down to our adaptive level skaters,” Miller explained. “And the adults and we have the alumni come back. It’s really just kind of a big reunion of sorts of everybody that’s ever been involved in the world of skating through St. Clair Shores.”
There is a lot of hard work that is put through this program at all levels. Kids are trying their best to learn how to skate, some people are practicing to compete at the high-
“I think every year our shows are really special to us. It’s almost a culmination of all the hard work through their fall/winter/ spring contract,” Miller said. “We do our senior send off. We know that this is their last show. There’s always a special moment within the show.”
The spring ice show is successful because it’s important to the community and the skaters. Not only is it something everyone can look forward to watching, but in the rigorous sport calendar, the skaters get a chance to continue participating while having fun.
“Most of (the performers) are very high (level) competitive skaters and they compete all year long. So the show is a little more relaxed and it’s a time for them to let their hair down,” LaDue said. “It’s this whole journey of passing on our love of the sport.”

family and especially to the child, hoping for a fast and full recovery,” the post read. “The City of St. Clair Shores prioritizes the safety of all its residents and visitors and continues to review the circumstances of this isolated incident.”
At the St. Clair Shores City Council meeting on June 2, Mayor Kip Walby acknowledged what happened and gave his well wishes to the boy as did a few councilmembers.
“The city is still engaged in a full-scale investigation regarding it,” Walby said. “I know on behalf of all of us who are sitting here wish the young child a speedy recovery back to full health. We are distressed that obviously it occurred at the parade and someone, A, would be hurt, let alone a young boy hurt.”
According to a Facebook post by the mother of the young child the day of the incident, the boy has a broken shoulder.
