Shores City Council approves firetruck purchase

BY ALYSSA OCHSS

aochss@candgnews.com

At the June 19 meeting, the St. Clair Shores City Council approved the purchase

of an already-built, demonstration model firetruck by a vote of 7-0.

The price of the firetruck was $779,597.

City Manager Dustin Lent said it was discussed at their work study session. He said

the firetruck they have looked at and originally purchased isn’t going to be ready until 2025.

Lent also cleared up questions about the timeline and process of getting the demonstration firetruck.

They have a firefighter group that had to review the vehicle, Lent said.

“It took some time for them to actually bring the demo firetruck to our station for the See FIRETRUCK on page 7A

SELFRIDGE CELEBRATES 100 YEARS OF AERIAL REFUELING

BY DEAN VAGLIA

A KC-135 Stratotanker takes off from Selfridge Air National Guard Base on a foggy and rainy morning June 27. Two KC-135s were joined by two A-10 Warthog attack jets from SANGB for a statewide flyover as part of a nationwide celebration of 100 years of in-flight refueling.

HARRISON TOWNSHIP — When military planes roar by for a flyover, onlookers usually spot some of the U.S. Air Force’s fastest and flashiest jets. But on June 27, two unsung heroes of military aviation took off from Selfridge Air National Guard Base for a statewide tour in their honor.

The two KC-135 Stratotankers took off on a foggy and smoke-filled morning in late June for a nearly three-hour flight, buzzing by Michigan landmarks and communities in recognition of 100 years of in-flight refueling. Joined by two A-10 Thunderbolt II “Warthog” attack jets, the KC-135s showcased in-flight refueling across the state as part of a nationwide celebration of in-flight refueling’s centenary.

“On June 27, (1923) the Army Air Corps delivered fuel gravity-fed from one airplane to another airplane,” said Chief Master Sgt. Maurice Graves, group senior enlisted leader of the 127th Wing’s air refueling group.

In collaboration with the Detroit Institute of Arts, local artist Haylie Mousseau is bringing art and brightness to St. Clair Shores with a new mural.

Mousseau, who has been a full-time artist for about a year, said she was very excited when she was approached for the mural.

“I couldn’t believe that someone was reaching out to me for this mural,” Mousseau said. “This mural was my biggest wall I’ve done so far.”

She’s done other murals before in St. Clair Shores, including the ones at Baffin Brewing Company and others in the downtown. She’s also done murals in people’s residences.

The mural took about three months due to time limits and bad weather, Mousseau said. The mural is by the patio at Copper Hop Brewing Company, and she didn’t want to paint while the restaurant was in operation, she explained, so she worked until they opened in the afternoon.

High winds prevented them from being on the scaffolding as well, Mousseau said.

Mousseau said, at first, she came up with three designs which turned into multiple designs.

LANSING/ST. CLAIR SHORES — Senate bills 148 and 149, known as “Teddy’s Law,” passed in the Michigan Senate on June 28, according to a press release.

The bills would require that cats and dogs used for animal testing would be offered up for adoption instead of being euthanized following their time in the lab, the press release said. The bills were sponsored by state Sen. Kevin Hertel, D-St. Clair Shores, and state Sen. Dayna Polehanki, D-Livonia.

Senate Bill 149, sponsored by Hertel, requires dogs and cats be adopted out through a registered animal shelter.

“It also holds both shelters and research facilities harmless, provided they have acted in good faith with the act,” the press release said.

Senate Bill 148, sponsored by Polehanki, “provides the reporting requirements for facilities to send to the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development (MDARD) annually.”

“I am grateful to all the advocates and animal lovers throughout the state who have kept the momentum going on these bills throughout the years,” Hertel said in the press release. “Today’s vote is another step in getting this legislation across the finish line and to the governor’s desk.”

St. Clair Shores City Councilman Dave Rubello adopted Teddy, the dog after whom the bill was named, and also testified on the bill.

“People really respond well to Teddy,” Rubello said. “It’s one thing to hear about the bills in theory, but when you have a chance to meet one of the lab beagles and see the type of life they’re able to live once they’ve been adopted, it’s hard to say no to giving other animals this chance.”

South Lake Schools improvement bond on August ballot ST. CLAIR SHORES — Though there are no primary elections for City Council and mayoral seats in St. Clair Shores, there will be one school bond proposal on the ballot Aug. 8.

The bond is for improvements in the South Lake Schools district and is asking voters for permission to borrow up to $49,750,000, according to the ballot language posted by the Macomb County Clerk’s Office.

The money will be used for the following purposes, according to the proposal language: Remodeling, equipping, reequipping, furnishing, refurnishing school buildings, athletic facilities, playgrounds and other facilities and the construction of an addition to the existing high school building to create a modern learning environment for students and enhancing health, safety, security and energy conservation.

Acquiring and installing technology equipment and technology infrastructure in school buildings and other facilities.

Preparing, developing and improving sites at school buildings, athletic facilities, playgrounds and other facilities and the purchase of school buses.

According to the proposal language, “The estimated millage that will be levied to pay the proposed bonds in the first year is 2.07 mills (which is equal to $2.07 per $1,000 of taxable value) for a -0- mill net increase over the annual debt millage levied in 2023; the estimated simple average annual millage that will be required to retire each series of bonds is 3.78 mills annually ($3.78 per $1,000 of taxable value); and the maximum number of years any series of bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of refunding, is not more than 30 years.”

The school district currently has $21,095,000 of qualified bonds and approximately $0 of outstanding loans under the School Bond Qualification and Loan Program, according to the language, which also states that the repayment of bonds will be guaranteed by the state if approved by the voters.

ning of July 5. An investigation remained ongoing at press time and anyone with information about the case was asked to call the Lansing Police Department at (517) 483-4600 or the FBI’s Detroit field office at (800) 225-5324.

Trice already faces a list of felony charges related to the alleged assault and abduction in Lansing, including assault with intent to murder, first-degree criminal sexual conduct, unlawful imprisonment and motor vehicle theft, according to 54th District Court records. He remains jailed without bond. Keith Watson, an assistant public defender in Ingham County listed as Trice’s attorney in court records, could not be reached for comment at press time.

In Macomb County, Trice will reportedly face charges of third-degree fleeing and eluding, attempting to disarm a police officer, resisting and obstructing a police officer and assault with a dangerous weapon. According to the release from Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido, Trice will be arraigned at a later date.

A St. Clair Shores Police Officer received medical treatment for injuries from the collision and was discharged. Trice also was transported to the hospital for injuries sustained during the collision.

According to a press release by the St. Clair Shores Police Department, at approximately 4:45 a.m. on July 3, an officer saw a vehicle associated with an Amber Alert issued by the Lansing Police Department. The vehicle was traveling near Nine Mile Road and Harper Avenue.

The Amber Alert was for a missing child, 2-year-old Wynter Cole-Smith, who was reportedly taken on July 2, according to the Michigan State Police Facebook page.

A St. Clair Shores officer reportedly attempted to stop the vehicle. The suspect, identified as Rashad Trice, 26, allegedly fled from police, leading them on a chase that ended near Little Mack Avenue and 10 Mile Road, where the suspect vehicle stopped after colliding with another St. Clair Shores police vehicle.

Trice allegedly resisted arrest and was apprehended with the help of Eastpointe officers on the scene.

According to a release from the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office, it is alleged that Trice assaulted his ex-girlfriend, kidnapped her 2-year-old daughter and drove in the mother’s car from Ingham County.

An update posted to the Michigan State Police Facebook page confirmed the body of Cole-Smith was found in Detroit on the eve-

James and Hackel talk about defense, auto industries

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

DETROIT — In a time where finances are all over the headlines, two of the region’s most prominent politicians took time in late June to discuss the state of Macomb County’s economy.

U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel joined Michigan business leaders for the “State of the Economy” forum in Detroit on June 26, held at the offices of law firm Butzel Long and sponsored by the Michigan Chamber of Commerce. The two elected leaders addressed the county’s defense and transportation industries.

chief to be able to review it,” Lent said.

After that, the letter of recommendation to purchase the firetruck was drafted to Lent.

Lent said they did tell the company they have positive feedback from the City Council about the demo truck and that the purchase was listed as pending because of the council’s interest.

Councilman Chris Vitale asked if it would be possible to salvage some of the parts from one of the city’s existing trucks. Fire Chief James Piper said the oldest truck in the current fleet does have a “twin sister” and that it could be an option to keep some parts.

Piper said later in an interview that the demonstration firetruck was built by Spencer Manufacturing out of South Haven.

He said when they learned it was still available, they decided to look into it. The dealership that makes the department’s ambulances, Kodiak, approached the Fire Department about the demo firetruck.

“It was good timing that that truck was available, and we were made aware of it at a time when we already had one on order because we needed to replace a few of our firetrucks anyway,” Piper said.

Employees of the Fire Department were able to look at the firetruck, Piper said, and it was a good match.

In the industry, Piper said, it currently takes three to four years to procure a new firetruck to department specifications. He said the firetruck they already have on order was first estimated to be here between August 2024 and November of 2024 but that, now, it’s going to be ready around October 2025.

“Before COVID, that was maybe two years for a firetruck. Ambulances used to be a year to year and a half, tops. Now they’re coming in two to three years,” Piper said.

Talking to the city manager and council, they agreed they have to keep the fleet updated.

“Unfortunately, the delays that are happening in the industry mean you have to plan so far ahead now,” Piper said.

Piper said the vendors are telling him that there are issues with the supply chain, but that he’s not sure which part of the supply chain.

He said that a previous vehicle was delayed because of the chip shortage, he said.

“The manufacturing, the place they actually put them together seem(s) to all be fine, it’s just a matter of, they’re not necessarily short people, it’s short the items,” Piper said.

Along with delays in manufacturing, the prices of firetrucks have been going up as well.

Piper said the last two trucks, the one they

originally ordered and the demo, are $724,000 and $779,000 respectively. He said these are not fancy trucks.

“Ten years ago, or even earlier in my career, $700,000 was the price of a ladder truck.

Now, that’s the price of a pumper,” Piper said.

Piper said the city has done a good job at keeping up the firetrucks, but they do get a lot of use, hence the need for the new trucks.

“On any given day, we really have to have four working engines here in town,” Piper said.

“It takes a lot to keep the fleet up and running and the city, thankfully, does a good job at it and our firefighters do a really good job of maintaining and checking on them, making sure they’re ready to go every single day.”

gil Hine and 1st Lt. Frank W. Seifert made the first in-flight refuel by running gas down a hose from their DH-4B biplane to another DH-4B on a flight from Los Angeles to San Diego. Though the six-hour flight proved refueling could be done, another flight was made on October 25, 1923, from Lumas, Washington to Tijuana, Mexico, in order to prove in-flight refueling could extend flight distances. A fatal accident a month later stopped in-flight refueling operations for about five years, but refueling resumed for demonstrations in 1928 and were fully embraced by the Air Force in 1948 to support the Strategic Air Command.

The first in-flight refueling planes were stationed at Selfridge in 1959 with the KC97 Stratofreighter being flown by the 4045th Air Refueling Wing and the 500th Air Refueling Wing into the 1960s. The 127th Wing’s 171st Air Refueling Squadron began operating KC-135s in 2007.

The 127th Wing’s KC-135s feature five crew members, including one pilot and boom operator. The operators are the ones who handle the job of moving the fuel from

plane to plane.

The mission of refueling planes in-air has become an essential part of the Air Force, giving equipment based in far and remote locations the ability to be utilized around the world.

“It’s aerial refueling that really expands our Air Force’s power,” said 1st Lt. Jacob Hargrove, a KC-135 pilot. “Without it we are severely crippled. We are the true force multiplier, doing so as a deterrence against our enemies and it really does boost our allies in doing such things.”

Planning for KC-135 flights begins well in advance of the mission and starts by examining expected weather conditions, planning routes, determining fuel loads and coordinating with the other receiving squadrons. Maintenance squadrons are also making sure planes are running as expected and operations support squadrons help with coordination between pilots.

KC-135 pilots begin their training by learning how to fly within 10 feet of other planes with further training focusing on in-air stability and managing the fuel being passed. Boom operators begin on simulators before moving onto a series of test flights over six months.

‘I could definitely feel it’

Detroit and Izzo are winners again in celebrity scramble

Fan-favorite Fowler wins Rocket Mortgage Classic

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

DETROIT — It was the biggest sigh of relief he’s taken in a while.

Facing off against Collin Morikawa and Adam Hadwin in a threeman playoff on the 18th hole at the Rocket Mortgage Classic on July 2 at Detroit Golf Club, Rickie Fowler stared down a potential tournament-winning putt from 11 feet out.

It’s been a roller coaster of a year so far for Fowler, with three top10 finishes in his last four tournaments, which included the U.S. Open, where he held the lead going into the final round.

The Fowler faithfuls chanted his name while he approached the green. Then it was a roar of excitement unlike anything the Rocket Mortgage Classic has ever seen when Fowler’s putt dropped into the cup for a birdie and a tournament-winning score of 24 under par. It was 1,610 days since Fowler’s last tournament win, which came on Feb. 3, 2019, at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

“Going in there, I had a pretty good idea of what the putt was going to do after seeing Adam’s (putt). He was on a pretty similar line,” Fowler said. “Yeah, just kept telling myself, ‘Just hit a good putt and give it a chance.’ I didn’t see a whole lot of the putt until kind of the end; it hung on and caught the right center. Yeah, I was kind of just still and quiet and everyone was going crazy around me. It was a nice mo-

DETROIT — As another year concluded at the Rocket Mortgage Classic in Detroit, both the city and Michigan State basketball coach Tom Izzo were winners once more.

A part of Matt Kuchar’s team last year that won the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble, Izzo returned this year on June 27 at Detroit Golf Club looking to earn back-toback titles, and he didn’t disappoint.

Representing Team Lineage alongside two-time major winner Collin Morikawa, John Shippen Invitational winner Paige Crawford, and corporate partner John Patchoski, Izzo’s team claimed the championship with a 3-under-par showing in the

She said she received feedback on the designs from a multitude of people. In the end there were about nine compositions before she had the final one. She also said they originally contracted her for the compositions, but they could have gone with a different artist.

“They said to me at the time that they could go with a different artist to end up doing different compositions, but I was chosen in the end,” Mousseau said.

The community has been very supportive of the mural.

“Every day, I’ve had people walking by saying, ‘Great job. It looks great — it looks amazing,’” Mousseau said. “And people would say they’re so excited about it. The community has been amazing.”

Ani Garabedian, community arts coordinator with the Division of Learning and Audience Engagement for the DIA, said the mural projects began three years ago and they’re all over.

Ian Rapnicki, public affairs officer for the DIA, said the project, which is called Partners in Public Art, is a tri-county program that benefits from the millage that supports the museum.

“So this project is specifically focused in the three counties nearest to us, and so it’s not a statewide program,” Rapnicki said.

In Macomb County, there is an agreement to complete two murals per year, Rapnicki said, and it’s entered into the equation recently.

“Now there’s going to be this regular expectation of completing two in Macomb County until every community, whether it’s a township or a city, they have the option to apply for it,” Rapnicki said.

Rapnicki said they’ll keep creating murals until everyone who wants one has one. He said they try to put the murals in bustling areas where they are noticeable.

Garabedian said they received an application from St. Clair Shores and Rapnicki added a person reached out on behalf of the Cool City Committee. They’ve heard about the Cool City Committee before as they’d applied for another project called “Inside|Out,” Rapnicki said.

This program brings reproductions of the artwork found inside the DIA to the outside for the summer.

The other mural in Macomb County this year is in Mount Clemens and the plan is to finish it before September. Garabedian said it is going on a fire station.

Selfridge Air National Guard Base.

“When you look at the degradation of our fighting force here in Michigan — the A-10 Warthog, that fighter mission is being run off — we need to make sure that we have a fighter to replace it here,” James said. “We’re going to lose not only the economic impact but the likelihood of getting another fighter here. We cannot allow that to happen.”

Currently home to KC-135 aerial refuting and A-10 attack jet missions, local officials have been trying to secure a fighter mission as the U.S. Air Force remains on track to eliminate its A-10 programs. A recent attempt to secure a training school for foreign F-35 fighter jet pilots failed earlier this year, but the base recently unveiled a new hangar for servicing fighter jets. Hackel shared news about a runway reconfiguration that could make Selfridge a more attractive destination for a future fighter jet mission by shifting the runway north to reduce the base’s effect on a residential neighborhood.

Moving into the automotive part of the discussion, Hackel spoke about how the county is improving its infrastructure. He said one such way of doing that is by building high-tech road corridors.

“We have the most connected corridors than any other county, not only in the state of Michigan, but I dare say the entire country,” Hackel said. “We started years ago when they started implementing some of the technology for cameras to visualize what’s happening on our roads.”

The potential of the connected corridors includes changing traffic light patterns in real time and notifying drivers of obstacles ahead of them.

James focused his remarks on the auto industry, expressing a disinterest at emissions regulations set to impact cars for model year 2027 and his disappointment toward the industry for not aggressively opposing them.

The White House is directing companies to have at least half of all passenger cars and light trucks sold in 2030, and all medium-duty and heavy-duty vehicles sold in 2040, be “zero emission,” and James in particular took issue with the penalties for noncompliance.

“The penalties that will happen between when this regulation goes into effect … will result in $90 billion (in) additional costs to the industry, and that’s not including an additional $9 billion in penalties,” James said. “If you take a look at the nearly $100 billion that would be through the enactment of this regulation at the end of that model year, it is the government taking a punitive approach to businesses.”

James also expressed skepticism at the focus on electrification as a substitute for gaspowered cars, stating his desire for “an all-the-above energy approach” for future cars.

“I have a hybrid; I have nothing against an ‘all-the-above’ energy approach,” James said.

“If you want a battery car, get a battery car, but forcing people into one thing or another and then penalizing our job creators for noncompliance on a short or nearly impossible timeline is a recipe for disaster.”

Secondhand items can cut costs and add style to a new place

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Furnishing a new home can be daunting, but buying used items from Facebook Marketplace and secondhand stores can cut down on costs while adding personal flair.

Brianne Minaudo has a job in New York and is split between Michigan, where she resides, and the Empire State. She used to have a house in north Rochester, Michigan, but sold it to get something smaller. Recently, she has been cleared to spend more time in Michigan.

She was tired of buying new furniture and said her one rule for her condo was to find things used, preloved or at an outlet.

Foundational things such as curtain rods could be purchased new.

She collected things from places such as antique stores, old book stores, Facebook Marketplace, clearance sections and other places. She’s even got some things from her grandma and friends. One of her favorite places is called Lamb’s Tail Antiques, which is an antique store on a farm in Armada.

Minaudo also decorates with things she already has and feels like she does something called “dopamine decorating.” It’s decorating with items and things that make you happy.

“Like just reminders instead of just, you know, going to Pottery Barn and plugging in what’s trendy. I like to do this a lot better,” Minaudo said.

Going on a marketplace such as Facebook, Minaudo said, is where she recommends beginners go to get furniture and other decorations for their spaces.

“I’d rather pay people who don’t have the use for it instead of Home Depot or Target or bigger corporations who don’t need it as much,” Minaudo said.

She said it depends on the style, but she also frequents antique stores because she loves vintage style. She recommends following people who have storefronts on Amazon or who do Ikea hacks — customizing Ikea products.

Another perk of buying secondhand is that it’s good for the environment.

“Because you’re not just buying new and then having all this waste going everywhere See SECONDHAND on page 23A

Scramble from page 10A

three-hole competition played on holes 14-16.

In a classic Michigan-Michigan State rivalry, former Wolverines basketball legend and Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Famer Chris Webber — with teammates Tony Finau, Chase Johnson and Michael Murphy — were neck and neck with Izzo’s squad throughout the scramble as the groups were paired together.

As Webber’s group trailed Izzo by only a stroke on the final hole, Webber sank a crucial birdie putt to keep the possibility of a tie alive, but a Michigan-Michigan State bout never settles for a tie.

Izzo would drain the ensuing putt and give a Tiger Woods-like fist pump to earn his back-to-back celebrity scramble title.

Maurice Allen, a World Long Drive competitor, has had an ongoing rivalry with Izzo in the event for the past few years and exchanged some friendly banter with Izzo as the two waited for the awards ceremony.

“His game isn’t efficient at all,” Allen said. “He just gets a great team. He can putt. You get him to the green, he’s lights out. Before that, not so much.”

Allen, who is passionately involved in his community in his home state of Florida, has played a vital role at the RMC’s Community Days both with the scramble and the youth clinic, which focuses on growing the game and teaching young golfers.

Allen said the Rocket Mortgage Classic and the city

of Detroit have done a significant amount of work to bolster the game and the community as well.

“I think it’s great for the city,” Allen said. “I love the way, how it embraces all the cultures that come with Detroit. No one is excluded here. When you go to a lot of the other events, you see some stuff going on where it’s not really diverse and you don’t see a lot of Black Americans, you don’t see a lot of Hispanics, and you don’t see a lot of kids. It’s cool to see everybody out here. I think Detroit really brings the melting pot together, and it works out beautifully.”

Other notable golfers in the event were Detroit Lions legend Barry Sanders and Detroit Red Wings star Dylan Larkin, but one particular celebrity golfer had an energetic showing in his Rocket Mortgage Classic debut this year.

World Wrestling Entertainment superstar The Miz, who’s no stranger to the city of Detroit through his time in the WWE, showed off his personality and impressive golf play throughout the competition. Along with his appearance, The Miz and WWE were able to provide four replica WWE championship belts for the winning team.

The WWE is slated to host its pay-per-view SummerSlam on Aug. 5 at Ford Field, and like the wrestling crowd, The Miz, also known as Michael Mizanin, said the RMC drew a great showing for the celebrity scramble.

“The energy is fantastic,” The Miz said. “The energy is absolutely electric.”

The Miz, an Ohio native, is a Cleveland Browns superfan but wasn’t shy to give praise to the ascending Detroit Lions.

Kylie D’Andrea is crowned as Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen.

Girls who take part in the competition come from all over the state, D’Andrea said.

“Girls are from the bottom of the state. One girl is actually from the Alpena area, so very far away. Then, there’s a lot of girls from metro Detroit, Saginaw, so we’re all kind of scattered,” D’Andrea said.

The categories for Miss Michigan’s Outstanding Teen are a 10-minute interview, talent, athletic wear, evening gown and an onstage question, D’Andrea said. Her talent performance was a jazz dance to “Baby I’m a Star” by Prince.

Miss St. Clair Shores, Izzy Wallace, was the first runner-up in the Miss Michigan competition that occurred the same weekend.

Miss Michigan Maya Schuhknecht will compete in the Miss America competition in January.

Wallace said it takes quite a while to get ready for the competitions.

“Only because it’s just a lot of preparing to bring your best, you know, the best version of yourself to the table,” she said.

The categories for the Miss Michigan competition were evening wear, fitness, talent, onstage conversation and a private interview. For the talent category, Wallace chose singing and she performed “I (Who Have Nothing),” by Jordin Sparks.

Both D’Andrea and Wallace said they have community service initiatives and that each contestant gets to choose the platform they stand on. Wallace’s platform is called “Success by See TEEN on page 19A

ment, just to kind of feel like the weight on my shoulders was finally off.”

The Rocket Mortgage ambassador played in front of what felt like a hometown crowd for the California native and Oklahoma State University Cowboy, who sported his iconic orange shirt and hat for the final round.

The crowd had his back every step of the way, and Fowler said he recognized every minute of it throughout the weekend.

“I feel like we’ve seen this tournament continue to grow and grow and more fans come out every year,” Fowler said. “To feel the support this year, I feel like it helps that I’ve been playing well and have more people in my corner, so it seemed like it just kind of got bigger and bigger every day, especially today. I’m glad the weather cooperated for the most part, and to kind of see the crowds grow over the day, especially come the back

nine, yeah, I could definitely feel it. They were pretty much pulling for me.”

Weathering the storm of the rain and a 1-stroke lead heading into Sunday, Fowler found himself in a familiar position that seemed to be a constant throughout his resurgence this year.

While Fowler looked to maintain the lead, which had been a sore spot so far this year for him, Morikawa did everything in his power to reach the top of the leaderboard, shooting an 8-under-par 64 in the final round.

Morikawa held a 1-stroke lead late down the back nine, but Fowler’s iron shots and putter ultimately were the differencemakers. With back-to-back impressive iron shots on 18 and the playoff hole, Fowler’s tee shot on the playoff hole, which was the only tee shot between himself, Morikawa and Hadwin not to find the fairway, was made up for within minutes as Fowler stuck a beautiful second shot on the green.

Morikawa, known as one of the strongest golfers with an iron on the tour, put his

Fowler’s win ends his first-place tournament drought of 1,610 days, dating back to Feb. 3, 2019, at the Waste Management Phoenix Open.

second shot just off the back of the green, which would be the end of his explosive Sunday round.

“Yeah, playoffs suck when you’re on the wrong side of them,” Morikawa said. “You put everything you want into it and it comes down to one hole, but that’s what golf is.

You’ve got to perform, you’ve got to execute the shots.”

The win couldn’t come at a better time for Fowler with the Ryder Cup just two months away and a shot up the FedExCup standings to No. 8 with eight top-10 finishes this season, but it also showcased what his new inner circle of legendary coach Butch Harmon and caddie Ricky Romano have brought to the table since joining Fowler last fall.

Harmon’s clientele list includes Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson,

and more legendary golfers, and Harmon is no stranger to Fowler after working with him earlier in his career. Romano, who was Nate Lashley’s caddie in 2019 when he won the Rocket Mortgage Classic, might be a cheat code by now at the RMC, but he was also the most excited person after Fowler won, cheering up and down and jumping into Fowler’s arms.

Harmon and Romano have been matches made in heaven for Fowler.

“That’s been big because I think Butch is a very — he’s the best golf coach out there,” Fowler said. “He does a great job with players, taking what they have and, ultimately, I think, making them the best that they can be with who they are and how they swing and making what they do well that much better, and bring up the weaknesses.

Essential Care Family Medicine: Now accepting new patients Preventive care, through regular check-ups and early detection, is essential to maintaining health and avoiding illness.

Marcus Koss, M.D., a board-certified family medicine physician with two decades of experience, launched Essential Care Family Medicine last year to deliver high-quality, comprehensive healthcare to patients across all age groups, from children to geriatrics.

Following the closure of several local medical practices in recent years, Dr. Koss and his staff have stepped in to provide primary care to those who desire to reestablish regular care Dr. Marcus Koss M.D. with a physician they can count on.

Family Physician “Primary care physicians are recognized as the gatekeepers of medical care, being the first to encounter various presentations of illness, diagnose conditions and initiate treatment,” said Dr. Koss. “I encourage people to come in early and prioritize their health because prevention is much easier than treatment.” While maintaining its status as a private practice, Essential Care has established affiliations with Henry Ford and Beaumont health systems, which means that patients can receive referrals to a range of providers or systems based on their individual needs and preferences.

“During the last year, we have also seen quite a few patients who haven’t had a checkup or any medical care in two or three years due to the pandemic,” said Dr. Koss. “Some of these patients are discovering new health issues that are causing them to finally get back into the mindset of putting themselves first and reassessing their health.”

He credits the success of his practice to the teamwork that he and his staff have established over the last 10 years. Dr. Koss’ staff has extensive experience in resolving patients’ insurance issues and getting them the best referrals for their needs. “Our medical assistant brings more than 36 years of certified medical assistant expertise and with blood draws, which we do here on site,” he added. “I am proud of the people I work with, who are willing to serve the community in the way that they do. Each of us finds great personal satisfaction in guiding our patients through the healing process.”

Hours of operation are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Monday through Friday, and the office is handicapped accessible. Lab work and EKGs are also conducted on the premises. Telemedicine options are available for those preferring online consultations, which allows patients to receive care from the comfort of their homes without compromising the quality of service. A patient portal enables seamless scheduling of appointments, bill pay and access to personal medical records.

Essential Care Family Medicine is located at 21603 East Eleven Mile Rd. in St. Clair Shores.

Professional Development, Bridging the Employment Gap,” and D’Andrea’s is called “Hope for the Homeless.”

D’Andrea said she goes around the state volunteering at homeless shelters and food pantries. She also makes “Faith in a Bag” gifts with everyday necessities and a Bible verse.

“It’s really cool because, depending on what’s near and dear to your heart or what you personally are connected to, you’re able to then go out in the community and act on it,” Wallace said.

They also both said they knew some of the other girls before they came to the competition. D’Andrea said they call it the “sisterhood.”

“The girls are just so sweet, and each and every one of them just empowers you to be better and truly is a great joy to be around,” D’Andrea said.

She recalled a moment when they were calling out the top five and both she and her best friend in the organization were called.

“We ran into each other and gave each other a huge hug, and it’s just those connections and friendships you make are not like normal ones because you have a lot of the same interests and you want to help people and you want to do good,” D’Andrea said.

The next step for D’Andrea is competing in the Miss America’s Outstanding Teen competition in January. She said it is a very neat experience.

“Not only are you competing to be Miss America’s Teen and competing in those categories again, but also you’re meeting girls from the whole entire United States, so then you make connections in each and every state,” D’Andrea said.

WATCH Tips stolen from dock box

At 3:21 p.m. on June 18, a report was made about a larceny that occurred on the same day in the 24000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

When an officer arrived at the scene, the victim, an 18-year-old woman who works for a boat club, stated she put $90 worth of tips in the dock box. Approximately two minutes later, she was helping a customer when she looked over and saw the suspect closing the top of the box.

She looked in the box and the tips were gone.

She stated she asked the man if he took the money and he denied it. She followed him as he walked away, and he got into a black vehicle with tinted windows. She gave the officer the plate number. There were cameras in the area.

Boat electronics stolen

At 6:29 p.m. on June 19, a report was made about a larceny that occurred on the same day in the 22000 block of Kramer Street.

Upon arrival at the scene, an officer came into contact with the victim, a 53-yearold man, who stated he and his wife were cleaning the boat that morning and around 1 p.m. they left to get lunch. They returned about 30 minutes later to find the boat’s electronics missing. The missing electronics included two Lowrance HDS GPS systems valued at around $1,600 each; a remote control for the autopilot system, valued at around $3,000; a ship-to-shore radio, valued at around $400; and a Minn Kota motor remote of unknown value.

The victim indicated he did not know who would have done this. The man had been all over the boat throughout the day and for several hours after the theft and the officer was unable to check for fingerprints.

The man was advised to contact the police if he could find any more information.

Identity theft reported

At 10:50 p.m. on June 26, a report was made about an identity theft that occurred the same day in the 22000 block of Francis Street.

Upon arrival, an officer spoke with the victim, a 28-year-old man, who stated an employee from Best Buy reached out to him via messenger. She stated a man had been in their store and had a fake Michigan driver’s

license with the victim’s information on it and a different picture. The employee sent him a picture of the license and she also said the man had a Social Security number. She never said what it was, so it is unknown if it is the victim’s or not.

The employee did not tell the victim what the man was trying to do with the license but did tell him there was nothing they could do at the store because they could not prove it was a fake at the time. The victim also stated that his Ring camera alarm went off randomly that night.

He said the only way to do this was through the app. The officer advised him to change his Ring account password, to check his credit reports and get monitoring for that.

The phone was black and unlocked, but the woman was able to call Verizon, which locked the phone so no one could use it.

The woman does not have the serial number for the phone. The suspect was using a fake Facebook account which has been deleted.

There was no other information available about the suspect.

Swindle reported

At 11:40 a.m. on June 28, a report was made about fraudulent activity that occurred at 12:45 p.m. on June 27 in the 28000 block of Jefferson Avenue.

An officer was working the front desk when the victim, a 30-year-old woman, came in and stated she agreed to meet a man at her residence so he could purchase a cellphone she was selling on Facebook Marketplace. The suspect gave her 18 $50 bills in exchange for the iPhone 13 Pro Max.

Team Lineage, which consisted of, from left, PGA golfer Collin Morikawa, John Shippen Invitational winner Paige Crawford, Michigan State’s Tom Izzo and corporate partner John Patchoski, earned first place at the AREA 313 Celebrity Scramble with a 3-under-par score.

from page 16A

With SummerSlam just a month away, maybe a Detroit Lions player will be in the mix for a celebrity appearance at the action-packed event, especially with all the excitement The Miz said the Lions have surrounding them.

“You’ve been lighting it up, and it’s one of the fun teams to actually watch in football, because you look at what you were seven or eight years ago with no wins, you built the team up with Jared Goff, a person the Los Angeles Rams were willing to get rid of,” The Miz said. “The Lions saw talent, and he displayed his talent last year. Now, I think he’ll be set up and ready to go.

I think this team actually has a great coach who motivates, and you can see the players are behind him.”

been amazing on the bag. We’ve known each other for a long time, grew up in the same town, so when Joe (Skovron) and I split, he was basically at the top of my list, because he’s a great player, one, and I’ve known him a long time.”

Fowler’s biggest supporters, wife Allison Stokke and 1-year-old daughter Maya, were at the Rocket Mortgage Classic, and it made for a picture-perfect moment as Fowler held his daughter while conducting an interview after the end of the tournament.

Fowler said they’ve been by his side all throughout his struggles on the course, and he said they’ve been a big part of why his mental game has continued to stay strong.

“It will be very special for me to have Maya and my wife there with me on the 18th green (when I think back on this win), especially with the last few years, how they’ve been on the golf course, dealing with that,” Fowler said. “It was tough just because everything else in my life was amazing, and then to have the one thing that I obviously love doing — it’s not everything to me, but it’s a big part of my life — it was kind of the missing link.”

as well; you’re giving it a new life,” Minaudo said.

Her friends and family helped at her place with painting, having an eye for style or fixing up different fixtures. She said her little sister helps with ideas for decor and goes to antique shops with her.

Kellen James, Minaudo’s partner, said it’s been a lot of fun helping her out.

“She has such an amazing vision of what she wants and how to get it, and she’s just an amazing decorator,” James said.

He said Minaudo has really made their condo feel like a home.

“It just feels like home because she makes it such a warm and inviting place and it’s beautifully put together,” James said.

Both Minaudo and James have a lot of fun working on projects and going shopping for decor and furniture. Minaudo said she’s just getting into repainting and refurbishing furniture.

“I’ve seen on social media people who just take the most beat up, kind of awful pieces and make it into something so cool and beautiful. I love it,” Minaudo said.

“A mother-daughter team of artists who are local to Mount Clemens are executing that one,” Rapnicki said.

Garabedian said the community is involved in the design of the mural with surveys and they give the feedback to the artist who makes multiple designs.

“It’s important for us to have the community involvement and since it is in their space, we want to make sure that it’s something they want to look at on a daily basis,” Garabedian said.

Rapnicki said the official goals for completing the work are to help people “explore, express and strengthen their sense of community,” and to deepen the bond between the DIA and the communities in Southeast Michigan.

“We’re looking to provide the community with something that they truly feel represents them and they’re proud of but we’re also looking to kind of strengthen that bond that they have with the museum too,” Rapnicki said.

Remembering Richard Bown: ‘The most honest person I had ever met’

In life, Richard Hubert Bown built homes where people built memories. Now, after his passing June 17 at age 88, family and friends remember the Harrison Township businessman as someone who tried to do each job right because he believed in doing right by others.

Locally, Bown was known as the second-generation owner of Bown Flooring, a business his father founded nearly 100 years ago, in 1925. Bown took ownership in 1971. While flooring was his company’s focus, he was also well-versed in building homes and renovating them.

Bown also built himself a family. He married Stella Hunt, his sweetheart from Lakeview High in St. Clair Shores, shortly after graduation. They were married for nearly 68 years, with Bown dying one day before their anniversary.

Together, they raised three children: Colleen Gingas, Ron Bown and Mike Bown. Bown was also a grandfather to Jamie Gingas, Jessie Gingas, Paige Walsh and Luke Bown. He is pre-deceased by his parents Everett and Estella, his son Mike, and granddaughter Jennifer Gillie.

Colleen Gingas described her dad as well-meaning, if a tad blunt at times.

“First and foremost, he was always honest — he was one of those people who would just tell it like it is. And if he thought you really needed to hear it, he’d say it, even if you didn’t want to hear it,” she said with a laugh. “I think he was just trying to pass on his vast knowledge.”

But she said her father backed up his words with action.

“He was one of the bravest people I’ve ever known — he wasn’t afraid of anything,” she said. “He’d take on huge tasks, and he would succeed. Like finding ways to lift a house off its foundation. Or when my boyfriend and I had a wooden boat and needed to finish the bottom, my dad devised a large framework and used chains to actually flip it upside-down.

“He was always busy, always doing something,” she said. “He believed in

hard work, and that hard work pays off. Totally — that’s him.”

Bown was of English and German ancestry, and loved his mother’s German cooking. His wife learned many of the same recipes. He was also fond of small dogs like poodles and cockapoos, and had a soft spot for classic love songs from the ‘50s and ‘60s.

Bown was also an avid boater, and enjoyed water sports like skiing and kneeboard surfing. Lake St. Clair was a favorite place, and he also loved visiting relatives at Lake Tarpon in Florida.

“He just wanted everyone to have a good time,” Colleen Gingas said, noting how her father gave her and her siblings a yard full of playthings that made them a popular destination for the neighborhood kids — from the suburb’s first aboveground pool, complete with a deck and slide that Bown installed himself, to a sandbox, swing sets, jungle gym and more.

“He was pretty chill about life, and very hands off, letting kids be kids. But he was always there when you needed him, and always supportive,” Colleen Gingas said.

She also noted how her father tried to give back to the community.

“He had a soft heart for people who worked hard but just couldn’t make it because they didn’t have the good luck or good fortune,” Colleen Gingas said. “Like as he got older, if there were chores around the house, he would try to work with people he knew might be going through a rough spell, just so they’d have more money. He tried to employ people like that, giving them opportunities.”

Karen and Walter Bozimowski were Bown’s neighbors. Walter, an attorney, recalled how Bown bought the house right next to the lot where they were going to build their home.

“We got to seeing each other, and hadn’t known each other at all before, but after meeting him and seeing him next door — he was always friendly, always gracious, always helpful — we just liked him from the start,” Walter said. “Then Richard had an issue with his business, and wanted to see if I could help. And

through that representation of him, it really became apparent to me that this was the most honest person I had ever met in my life — a person of great integrity.

“As attorneys, we will often look at a situation and try to have our clients frame their answer in a way where they’re not lying, but where it’s most favorable to them — telling it the right way,” he said. “But Richard would have none of that. He saw things the way he saw it, and was willing to live with the consequences. He felt it would be dishonest to himself if he didn’t live his life that way.

“That was the integrity portion of him, and he imparted that idea — to live your life with honor — to his kids, including his son Ron, who will now take over the business as the third generation,” Walter said. “All the things you heard about him being a great builder, a great family man, helpful to his friends and neighbors — that’s all absolutely true. But the area that impressed me most was what an honest guy he was. And seeing that is how we got him to build our house.”

Walter said that Bown “did a fantastic job,” overseeing nearly every aspect of construction, finishing it himself with the help of his sons, his wife and some friends.

“I don’t think there’s a house in the neighborhood built as structurally sound as ours,” he said. “The heating and cooling? Richard said, ‘I can do it.’ Electrical?

‘I can do it.’ Insulation? ‘I can do it.’ Whatever it was, he could do it. And he did.”

“But he was a simple man, too,” said Karen. “A meat-and-potatoes kind of guy.

And just really, really kind.”

Added Walter: “He was a successful man, both in his relationship with his family and friends, and also financially, building a very nice business. But he also gave. If someone needed it, he would give them the shirt off his back, down to his last dollar.”

Karen agreed.

“Anyone who met Richard was a better person for it,” she said. “To have him in your life — even for just a little bit — he would make you a better person.”

ing style is if it makes you happy, it’s part of your style. This can include things found in reading, writing or what people are watching, Minaudo said. She personally gravitates toward history.

“So if anyone is looking for their style, look at what you’re naturally into,” Minaudo said.

She said she thinks people know their style, but they’re hesitant, and she sees this

Shaving cream fight reported

STERLING HEIGHTS — During the morning of June 9, at least one juvenile was reported to be in the median around the intersection of Schoenherr and 19 Mile roads. A juvenile was reportedly engaged in a shaving cream fight and stepped into the road at some point, police said. Police arrived around noon and said the situation had “cleared out.”

Suspected Kohl’s shoplifter tries to flee from police

STERLING HEIGHTS — Police went to Kohl’s, 44200 Schoenherr Road, June 9 upon hearing that suspected shoplifting was in progress. A repeat offender was reported to be putting items such as kids Nike clothing in a cart.

The suspect was described as tall and in his 50s or 60s. He reportedly had a salt-and-pepper beard and four missing front teeth. He was reportedly accompanied by a woman wearing a bandana and a tie-dyed shirt.

Police waited for the individuals to leave the store and reportedly saw the woman leave from the north entrance and get inside the red Ford Taurus she had arrived in. Then the man reportedly came out of the store with a full shopping court, headed to the Taurus and started unloading merchandise into it.

Police contacted the man, but he allegedly tried to run away. Police said they pursued him and eventually found him hiding under a parked vehicle.

Although police ordered him not to run away, he allegedly did so again.

When police reportedly caught up to him, they demanded he stop, but he allegedly said “no” and ran westward, crossing Schoenherr Road. Police said they finally arrested him for first-degree retail fraud after he crossed the street.

Police said the suspect stole 41 items of merchandise worth a total of $1,458. Police also investigated the Taurus and said that, besides the one woman, there were two more female individuals in the car who never went inside the Kohl’s. Police said they released the three females.

Juveniles argue, fight in Target parking lot

STERLING HEIGHTS — A group of male juveniles were reportedly witnessed arguing, yelling and brawling in the parking lot of Target, 2310 Metropolitan Parkway, the night of June 9.

The fight eventually broke up, but the juveniles reportedly continued to yell at one another before dispersing. Police said they talked to some of the juveniles, who said the dispute was over “girl troubles.”

They reportedly denied that any assault happened, didn’t want help from police, and said they planned to return home. Police took no further action.

Retail fraud reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 3:18 p.m. on June 19, a report was made of a retail fraud that occurred on the same day at 1:30 p.m. in the 23000 block of Greater Mack Avenue.

According to the report, an officer received a police run for an earlier retail fraud. Upon arrival at the stated location, the officer was met by a 19-year-old man who said an unknown woman walked out of the store at approximately 1:30 p.m. with an EGO Power Generator. The man stated the store was busy and he was mixing paint some time before 1:30 p.m.

The woman entered the store, selected an EGO generator, placed it in her cart, and continued to the front of the store. There she removed it from the cart and exited the store, passing all points of purchase and making no attempt to pay for the generator.

The man stated the theft was captured on the video security system. He was advised to keep the video and place it on a thumb drive.

Break-in reported

ST. CLAIR SHORES — At 9:43 a.m. on June 17, a report was made of a breaking and entering that occurred between June 15 and June 16 in the 20000 block of Ardmore Park Drive.

According to the report, an officer and an evidence technician were dispatched to the stated location where they spoke to a 56-year-old man. He said on June 16, he noticed things moved around in his unattached garage. The television on the shelf was pulled out, liquor bottles on the bar were moved and his son’s tools were missing. The 56-year-old man was going to a graduation party, so he didn’t immediately call the police.

The tools were last seen around 5 p.m. on June 15 and are valued between $400 and $500. The garage door was closed when he noticed the items were missing. The garage opens with a remote or code. There were no signs of forced entry, and the technician dusted the stated touched items and found four prints.

Man found guilty of criminal sexual conduct with stepchild

ROSEVILLE — A 37-year-old Detroit man was found guilty in mid-June in Macomb County Circuit Court of two counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct.

Following a four-day jury trial that ended June 16, Dewon Henderson was found guilty of the two

counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct with a person under 13, defendant over 17.

In December 2021, Henderson sexually assaulted his stepchild in a Roseville hotel, the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office stated in a press release.

Henderson is scheduled for sentencing Aug. 2 in front of Macomb County Circuit Court Judge Kathryn Viviano.

“This guilty verdict marks a significant triumph for justice and a resounding message to sexual assault survivors that their voices will be heard,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a prepared statement. “It is our duty to fight for justice, to protect the vulnerable, and to hold perpetrators accountable for their reprehensible actions. This verdict is a step forward in creating a safer society, and we remain steadfast in our commitment to pursuing justice for all survivors.”

Joshua Jones, Henderson’s attorney, declined to comment.

Suspected drunken driver drinks mouthwash after crash

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — At 6:25 p.m. June 11, officers were dispatched to a crash at 24 Mile and Mound roads. Upon talking to the driver who was at fault in the crash, the officer could smell the odor of alcohol on his person. The officer also noticed a short time later that the driver put mouthwash in his mouth. The officer then placed the driver through field sobriety tests. After completing the field sobriety tests, the driver was offered a preliminary breath test. The driver would not take the PBT, the police report states. He was then arrested for suspicion of operating while intoxicated.

He was transported to the Police Department, where a search warrant was completed to draw blood from the driver to determine his blood alcohol content. He was then booked and processed and placed into a holding cell.

Customer attempts to use counterfeit money

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to a convenience store in the 15000 block of 22 Mile Road, near Hayes Road, for a counterfeiting report at 8:15 p.m. June 10. An employee stated that someone had tried to pay using a counterfeit $20 bill.

When the employee told the suspect that the bill was counterfeit, the suspect left the store.

The clerk then went outside to take a photo of the suspect’s license plate, at which point the suspect slapped the cellphone out of the clerk’s hand. The suspect then fled in his vehicle. The detective bureau was investigating the incident.

Masked suspect brandishes gun

GROSSE POINTE PARK — Police are looking for an unknown male suspect who reportedly pointed a gun at a witness who saw the suspect enter a vehicle belonging to a person who was inside a bar in the 15000 block of Charlevoix Avenue at around 4:20 a.m. June 18.

According to a report, a bar patron approached the suspect after seeing the suspect go into the vehicle, and the suspect pointed a gun at the patron.

The suspect is said to have then run to a dark-colored SUV waiting nearby.

Police said the SUV turned out to be a Hyundai that had been stolen in Detroit. They attempted to pull over the suspect’s vehicle, but it fled the scene.

Police respond to alleged threat

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — Police were called to the Shell gas station at Mack Avenue and Moross Road at around 1:20 p.m. June 15 after a man reportedly threatened another man with a gun. The victim, a 24-year-old man from Shelby Township, told police that the suspect — a 41-year-old Grosse Pointe Farms man — had walked around the victim’s vehicle, told the victim, “I’ve got something for you,” and gestured toward his hip as if to indicate he had a gun.

The victim’s statements were backed up by video of the incident he had recorded on his phone.

The victim could also be heard telling the suspect to get away from him. Police, who handcuffed the suspect, searched the suspect and found no gun on him or in his vehicle, but did locate a large folding knife in his pocket attached to his keys and found that he had an invalid license plate. The suspect’s vehicle was impounded. In addition, police issued the suspect a citation for disorderly person “for causing a large disturbance in relation to him making an overt threat that caused fear in (the victim) and citizens in the area,” a police report reads.

The suspect told police he hadn’t threatened the victim and that he was warning him that he could get pulled over in Grosse Pointe for having tinted windows.

Banned hospital patient returns

GROSSE POINTE CITY — A 50-year-old Detroit man was issued a trespassing ticket after police said he went to Corewell Health, Beaumont Grosse Pointe, on June 22, despite the fact that he had previously been banned from the hospital. However, a police report states that the suspect was accidentally scheduled for surgery at the hospital. Police were called to the hospital after the suspect refused to leave. He departed from the property after he was given the trespassing ticket, police said.
