Neighbors celebrate Juneteenth in Southfield
BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD — The city of Southfield is home to a number of events that celebrate and recognize the national Juneteenth holiday.
This includes one event put on just by residents in their own backyards.
Residents in a Southfield neighborhood have been putting on a Juneteenth celebration for the past few years in the backyards of six neighboring yards. Juneteenth is celebrated each year on June 19 and commemorates the end of slavery in the U.S. in 1865.
Patricia Jones, president of the Juneteenth Jubilee Committee, said the event began in 2021 while people were still dealing with social distancing amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
“Everybody had cabin fever and we all like to work in our yard. So social distancing, we’re always talking to each other and so forth, and we decided, well, why don’t we See JUNETEENTH on page 7A
MIRACLE LEAGUE BASEBALL SEASON KICKS OFF IN SOUTHEASTERN MICHIGAN
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD — Easterseals MORC’s Miracle League celebrated opening day for its 2025 baseball season June 7 at the Southfield Civic Center’s Miracle Field.
Over 550 individuals with cognitive and physical disabilities are signed up to play baseball this summer as part of the Miracle League, and opening week showed what makes the organization so impactful.
“We’re off to an awesome start,” said Nick Lionas, the Miracle League’s director of adaptive recreation. “The amount of love that is exuded just from being in this environment … it’s all positive all the time.”
Games are played on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays throughout the summer and every group plays at least once a week. The players are joined by volunteer “buddies” on the Miracle League adaptive field, which is custom-designed with synthetic surfaces to accommodate wheelchairs and other mobility aids.

MOTORCYCLIST FROM SOUTHFIELD DIES IN CRASH
BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com
STERLING HEIGHTS — A crash that occurred on 15 Mile Road left one dead on June 17.
At approximately 8:45 p.m., Sterling Heights police and firefighters responded to an injury crash involving a motorcycle and a black Dodge Journey on 15 Mile Road, east of Ryan Road.
The motorcyclist, a 22-year-old Southfield man, was treated at the scene before being transported to a nearby hospital where he was pronounced dead, according to a press release from the Sterling Heights Police Department.
The driver of the Dodge Journey received minor injuries.
According to the press release, an initial investigation revealed that the motorcycle was traveling eastbound on 15 Mile when the Dodge Journey exited a private drive on the south side of the road and attempted to turn left. The motorcyclist could not avoid the collision and struck the driver’s side of the Dodge, the release states.
Sterling Heights Police Capt. Mario Bastianelli said the road was closed for several hours.
The incident is still under investigation, though alcohol is not believed to have been a factor. The Sterling Heights Police Department asks anyone who may have witnessed the crash to call the Traffic Safety Bureau at (586) 446-2920. The case number is 25-41791.

John Shippen Women’s Invitational creating more opportunities for Black women golfers
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD — Plum Hollow Country Club hosted The John Shippen Women’s Invitational presented by DOW June 2-4, which featured exhilarating golf.
According to The John Shippen website, John Shippen Jr. was the first American-born golf professional and the first Black golf professional. The goal of the John Shippen invitationals and The John Shippen Memorial Golf Foundation is to create opportunities for Black men and women in golf and to fundamentally increase diversity in golf nationally.

DISCOVER GLEN ARBOR
BY GREG TASKER
GLEN ARBOR — If you’re looking for a classic summer vacation in Michigan — the kind where water, woods and whatever are available at your will on any given day — look no further than Glen Arbor on the Leelanau Peninsula.
While this town of about 700 year-round residents swells in the summer, Glen Arbor still manages to invite relaxation. No wonder. Glen Arbor is surrounded by the woods and hills of Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore and lies on the sandy shores of Lake Michigan — so there’s ample opportunity for beach time, hiking and biking, and kaying and stand up paddle boarding.
And much, much more.
Wander along M-22 through Glen Arbor and you’ll discover boutiques, T-shirt shops, art galleries, outdoor outfitters, and welcoming cafes and restaurants.
Like any resort town, businesses come and go. And then there are those like Art’s Tavern that become part of the landscape and evoke memories for generations of families who summer in Glen Arbor.
Art’s Tavern has been around for some 90 years and is throwback to another era, welcoming tourists and locals alike, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner almost every day of the year. Staples like burgers and tater tots and a rotating selection of Michigan craft beer and other ales keep customers coming back.
The dining room is pretty much as it has always been: college sports pennants blanket the ceiling, old photos line the walls, and a streamlined jukebox awaits to play your favorite tunes. It’s an anomaly — cash or check only — in an era of Apple Pay and Google Pay.
Glen Arbor is the home of Cherry Republic, the purveyor of all things cherry in Northern Michigan and

Southfield celebrates Juneteenth

The annual John Shippen invitationals began in 2021. The winner of each event also receives an exemption into future PGA Tour or LPGA Tour events.
“When we first started this event, a lot of it was based off of Rocket’s commitment when they brought the PGA Tour to Detroit the first time,” The John Shippen tournament lead Sommer Woods said. “The Shippen birthed out of that … and southeastern Michigan has a significant representation of African Americans and people of color. Black golf is strong here in metro Detroit.”
That point is proven by the increase in interest year after year for the invitationals. Now, five years in, the public is making it a point to return every summer.
“They’re always excited to come out and to volunteer and to watch the players. Every year people are like, We can’t wait to come back.’ That’s pretty cool,” Woods said. “For the golfers, they (get to) play on these championship courses and compete as well.”
Bailey Davis, Anita Uwadia, Lakareber Abe and Staci Pla finished in the top four, respectively, in the event.
“It was amazing. … We had support. People came out to watch the ladies and walk
around with the ladies,” Woods said. “The ladies obviously always come to play … and we were really excited to have a diverse group of women from HBCUs and SEC schools and representation from all over the country as well.”
This was the first time the women’s event was held at Plum Hollow Country Club.
“The membership was great, the staff was great and it was a beautiful location,” Woods said. “They were willing to say, ‘Whatever you need, let us know.’ We could not have asked for a better partner with Plum Hollow.”
In this year’s invitational, University of Tennessee golfer Bailey Davis became the first amateur to win the women’s event.
“Yeah, it was awesome. You know, it’s an event I try to play in every year. … It’s around my peers and friends and so I really wanted to win it this year,” Davis said at the 2025 Meijer LPGA Classic for Simply Give press conference. “My game felt really good and so I’m super excited I was able to pull it off.”
Davis is someone who is a rising star in the sport and is vocal about how important The John Shippen events are to the game of golf going forward.
“I think it’s really important to see people that look like you and that you can relate to,” Davis said. “All the girls in the field look like myself. So, I think it’s just important to have that representation.”
Woods agreed that representation is one of the goals of the events so that the next generation can watch a more inclusive and diverse version of the game of golf.
“Girls that are younger can see us and see that this is a game for us as well,” Davis said.
At press time, Davis was exploring her options but could make the transition to professional golf this calendar year.
The John Shippen National Invitational presented by Rocket men’s field competed June 21-22 at the Detroit Golf Club. The winner, Joe Hooks, who grew up in Southfield and Commerce Township, receives an exemption into the PGA Tour Rocket Classic June 24-29.

“Michigan started in 2004 with this field in Southfield. … Now I think there’s eight or nine fields in Michigan,” Lionas said. “There’s rare spaces in this world that are truly all inclusive.”
Opening day got everyone involved and excited for the rest of the summer. At Southfield’s opening day, former Detroit Lions quarterback and current mental health advocacy partner with Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan Eric Hipple threw out the ceremonial first pitch of the season — with a football. Hipple also spoke about the importance of mental health and signed copies of his book, “Real Men Do Cry.”
The day also highlighted the growth of inclusive sports and activities in Michigan. On opening day, the Miracle League celebrated its new adaptive field in Flint, giving those in Genesee County an opportunity to play baseball. The Miracle League of Greater Flint built the field and has partnered with the Miracle League Michigan, which now has fields in Flint, Orion Township and Southfield.
“This is their inaugural season. They’re super excited,” Lionas said. “We had a goal of getting 40 participants for the very first year and we got 63. … It’s really great to see the growth throughout the state of Michigan.”
The impact that the Miracle League has had on adults and children with disabilities all over the world
can’t be overstated, but the impact that these events have on volunteers and ‘buddies’ is just as moving.
“About 14 years ago my daughter had been out and volunteered with her friend and she came home and said mom you got to go (volunteer) you’re going to love it,” Susie Glasgow, who now runs the Orion Township field, said. “So I went with her and we buddied for one game. We were back the next game and the next game. And I have not left.”
Glasgow then began coaching teams and got involved any way she could. Her story is not a unique one in the Miracle League. A lot of people that work for the organization started as volunteers, and a lot of the volunteers tried it once and now are staples on game days.
“The nice thing about the Miracle League is once you’re a part of the Miracle League family, you are always a part,” Glasgow said. “My dear friend … always used to tell me, ‘You know, Susie, when I walk on this field I feel like somebody dropped a happy bomb on me,’ and that’s something that sticks with me.”
The Miracle League gives the community a safe space for anyone who wants to play organized baseball, and once a participant starts, they won’t ever be told to stop.
“A lot of the players in Southfield have been there for almost 22 years. So that is part of the reason we have now started to break up our groups into divisions by age,” Glasgow said. “We didn’t want any of our players to age out of our program. We wanted a place for them to stay. … They will always have a place to play. We have an age for you from when you’re 4 until you’re 102.”

have a dinner, a Juneteenth celebration for our families, just social distancing and we’ll all do it in each other’s yards (and) kind of talk over the fence,” she said. “That’s what we started, and since then it has grown from maybe about 30 people to about 100 people.”
The six families meet each year to plan the event, which took place on June 14 for the fourth year.
The event each year starts with a program explaining what Juneteenth is with speakers, followed by a dinner, games and ending in a fireworks display.
Ledell Griffin III, son of one of the organizers, Ledell Griffin, spoke this year about the meaning of Juneteeth.
“What this day means to me is that it let people have an equal say in the country with being able to realize that any race, any kind, they can have something that if they participate in the country, it’ll help them to feel like they’re needed in the country,” he said.
Jones said the growth of the event has been great as people each year get excited for the festivities.
“The yards are open to everybody so all the neighbors, we get together and we’re just going fellowshipping and going from yard to yard and just enjoying each other and the holiday in itself,” she said.
On the meaning of Juneteenth for her, Jones said the day is historic and important for people to know and understand.
“Lincoln emancipated the slaves in 1863, but Galveston, Texas, didn’t get the message until ’65 and so through whatever the reason, they did not get the message or they were withheld from the information,” she said.
“We feel it’s necessary that we celebrate, continue our history, continue our legacies through stories, through community, through food and just enjoy each other and pass this information on to our younger people so that they can continue it as well.”

SENIOR LIVING
LIVING WILLS TAKE GUESSWORK OUT OF MEDICAL CARE
BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com
While everyone hopes for the best of health, legal experts say that crafting a “living will” — and deciding who has the medical power of attorney to act on it — is a plan worth having.
Elizabeth Vincent has been a practicing attorney for 13 years and has specialized in estate planning her entire legal career. Her current practice focuses exclusively on the subject.
She explained that a living will is different from a last will and testament in that a
living will states the signer’s desires regarding life-sustaining medical treatments.
A last will and testament, meanwhile, provides guidance to the signer’s family regarding the distribution of the signer’s estate through the probate court.
She noted that living wills are utilized in medical cases where the signer cannot communicate their wishes regarding treatment.
“It’s something that many think their family members can just figure out in the moment, but I feel it’s unfair to place that burden on loved ones when we’re talking about something as personalized as medical care,” Vincent said.
Living wills are often drafted in conjunction with a designated medical power of attorney — the decision-maker who can act on the signer’s behalf. Both are included in an estate plan, providing guidance to family members making decisions.
The goal is to eliminate guesswork during what is already a stressful situation.
“A living will, however, is not a legally
enforceable document, unlike a medical power of attorney,” Vincent cautioned, noting it can only advise loved ones on how to proceed.
Still, that guidance can make a world of difference. The document lists specific directives with the signer’s preferences — for example, whether they would accept using
Miracle

The importance of events like this for the families is significant as well.
“I’ve talked to some parents who are like, ‘We go to a restaurant and my child is having a hard time’... but when they’re at the field they can be themselves,” Lionas said. “Everyone is there to cheer on each other.”
The Miracle League is making a difference every day and the work that is done will not only leave a lasting mark on the players, but on anyone involved.
“Come out and change a life,” Lionas said. “It’s probably going to be yours.”
This organization was Michigan’s first adaptive baseball program over 21 years ago and has been vital in offering children and adults, regardless of their ability, a chance to play organized baseball.

Ramp metering is now active on I-96 Flex Route
BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com
OAKLAND COUNTY — Motorists entering Interstate 96 from Milford Road might have already discovered the need to pause before entering the freeway, thanks to the new traffic light metering system that was activated June 18.
The flex route runs from Milford Road to Novi Road in Oakland County and has eight metered entrance ramps.
• Southbound Milford Road to eastbound I-96.
• Southbound Milford Road to westbound I-96.
• Northbound Milford Road to eastbound I-96.
• Wixom Road to westbound I-96.
• Southbound Novi Road to eastbound I-96.
• Southbound Novi Road to westbound I-96.
• Northbound Novi Road to eastbound I-96.
• Northbound Novi Road to westbound I-96.
Ramp meters have been used in many states with the goal of reducing crashes and
improving travel times by controlling the flow of traffic entering the freeway, according to a press release from the Michigan Department of Transportation.
MDOT will be activating the other ramp meters one by one over the next couple of weeks. Meters will function in the same fashion as traditional traffic lights, with red indicating to stop and green meaning to go.
Ramp traffic will be divided into two lanes. The traffic meters will alternate between the two. Only one lane and one vehicle will be allowed to merge at a time.
“By breaking up platoons of entering traffic, the need for drivers already on the freeway to slow down is reduced and vehicles
can merge more smoothly onto the freeway,” MDOT states in the press release.
Vehicles that choose to ignore the traffic signals will face the same penalties as running a red light on the main roads.
If the traffic meter lights are flashing yellow, traffic may enter the freeway without stopping.
An instructional video on metered entrance ramps is now available for drivers to view on MDOT’s YouTube channel.
For more information on freeway ramp metering, go to the Federal Highway Administration website ops.fhwa.dot.gov.

Glen Arbor
beyond. It’s well worth a visit to its small, tidy campus, where you can shop for chocolate-covered cherries, jams and salsa or sit outside and sip a cherry-infused beer or eat a slice of heavenly cherry pie.
Another iconic Up North brand — M22 — has a presence in Glen Arbor as well. You’ll find T-shirts, sweatshirts, hats, bags and other branded items at this location on its namesake road. Unlike the company’s other stores in Traverse City and Suttons Bay, the Glen Arbor location boasts a wine tasting bar. You can sit outside on the patio for a glass of locally made red or white wine or step inside the store for a flight.
Speaking of wine, be sure to check out Glen Arbor Wines on Lake Street, just a block from Lake Michigan and Sleeping Bear Bay. The tree-shaded patio is an inviting spot to chill and sample wines made especially for the business by a private winemaker. A bocce court and lawn games make it all too easy to linger.
Lissa Edwards Martin, who opened the wine store and art gallery several years ago after a decades-long career in journalism, has a long family history in Glen Arbor. Her parents purchased the property decades ago and her grandparents once ran a restaurant

around the corner on M-22. She spent her childhood summers here — swimming in the bay, floating in a tube on the Crystal River and hiking the dunes.
“I remember Glen Arbor as a dusty town back in the 1960s,” says Martin, who walks the block to the beach nearly every day to marvel at the water’s ever-changing colors. “It’s mostly a tourist town now but I’m happy to share Glen Arbor with people who appreciate it. It’s truly a magical place.”
At the town’s northern end, The Mill, a landmark along the meandering Crystal River, is creating its own magic. Shuttered as a grist mill some 80 years ago, the recently renovated 19th century structure now serves as a cafe, restaurant and gathering spot. The eateries offer seasonal and regionally sourced fare and freshly baked pastries. Guest rooms are available in the adjacent Queen-Anne style miller’s house.
Step inside for coffee or to look around and you’re likely to run into Corey Smith, the general manager, who encounters the curious nearly every day. “So many people have either been traveling to the area for generations or haven’t been for decades. These people are surely curious to see The Mill after our restoration,” he says.
Most people are delighted. Don’t be surprised if the great room, with its exposed post and beams and variety of comfortable sofas, chairs and tables, entices you to stay
awhile, play board games and cards or chat with locals and visitors.
“The work completed here is a feat of its own caliber. Not only has our team been thoughtful of the historical preservation, but also we have created a space that the local community is able to interact with on a daily basis,” Smith says.
Although Glen Arbor is spread along M-22 and side streets, it’s easy to walk around. If you prefer two wheels, pop into The Cyclery, Glen Arbor’s only full-service bike shop, for a rental. You can venture farther afield, cruise scenic roads or make your way to the Sleeping Bear Heritage Trail, one of the region’s premier bike trails. The paved, multi-use trail passes through the national park, stretching 22 miles from Empire to Bohemia Road to the north, running parallel to the lakeshore.
The Crystal River snakes through Glen Arbor on its way from Glen Lake to Lake Michigan. Need to cool off? Rent a kayak or stand up paddle board at Crystal River Outfitters and slip in the river for a leisurely two- to three-hour paddle. The river is slowmoving and shallow, which makes it accessible to the whole family.
Or save exercise for another day and check out the River Club Glen Arbor, which opened just a year ago. The well-manicured three-acre park offers mini golf and plenty of outdoor seating for food and drinks and live
music. River Club serves a variety of Michigan craft beer, cider and wine, as well as margaritas and cocktails.
On a recent afternoon, I met some friends there for drinks. We lounged in chairs along a bend in the river, watching kayakers and stand up paddlers mosey by. With Bob Seger songs playing in the background and Michigan wine and beer in hand, it felt like a classic summer day in Michigan.

a ventilator and for how long. Other preferences could be about types of pain relief, the use of feeding tubes, or even when or whether to terminate life support.
As for organ donation, that is decided by the person with medical power of attorney, Vincent said, and not included in a living will.
“In my practice, when medical powers of attorney are discussed and life-sustaining procedures are addressed, we go through a prepared estate planning homework to discuss the client’s wishes,” Vincent said. “We charge a flat fee for estate planning, which varies based on the client’s goals and overall needs. A case-by-case assessment is done in an initial consultation with each client.”

is an equally important decision.
“The biggest consideration I advise my clients to make is to appoint the correct person to make these decisions for them, and to ensure that the person whom they appoint is someone who will follow through on their wishes, regardless of their personal feelings,” Vincent said.
“Withholding life-sustaining care is a difficult call to make, whether you have someone’s wishes or not, and appointing an individual who cannot come to terms with a family member’s decisions can result in unnecessary delays,” she said.
It’s an uncomfortable scenario to imagine, but she said there’s comfort in having a guide for others to follow, should things take a turn for the worse.
“One of the best gifts a person can give their family is to have a comprehensive estate plan prepared with an experienced estate planning attorney,” Vincent said.

Troy-based attorney Ren Nushaj agreed, saying that a living will and designated medical power of attorney brings “immense peace of mind” to the signer and their family.
“It removes uncertainty during moments of great difficulty and ensures that medical decisions reflect the patient’s own
values and wishes,” Nushaj said in an email. “For loved ones, it eliminates the burden of making agonizing choices in the dark and allows them to focus on supporting the person they care about with clarity and confidence.”
