Woods Council to take up controversial Mack rezoning proposal
BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com
WOODS — Proposed rezoning of 20160 Mack Ave. in Grosse Pointe Woods — from restricted office, or RO-1, to commercial business, or C — has been met with strong resistance from hundreds of local residents, who’ve been railing against it for months.
Residents are worried about increased traffic, reduced safety for children and pedestrians and overflow business parking on quiet residential streets, along with increased noise, trash, pests like rats, loss of green space and negative impact on property values, among other concerns. Medical offices currently occupy the single-story office building, but Buccellato Development is looking to redevelop the site to possibly include a national restaurant, up to three retailers or a combination of these uses, among other potential tenants.
As of press time, about 570 residents had signed petitions against rezoning, and signs opposing Mack rezoning could be found on lawns throughout the community.
City planners said that the proposed redevelopment is in keeping with the Woods’ new master plan, which calls for a greater variety of mixed uses — including restaurants, boutiques and personal service establishments — along Mack. The new master plan was approved in 2024, after a two-year process that planners said included community input and outreach.
Although no tenants have been identified for the property, Ashley Jankowski, an associate planner with the city’s planning firm of McKenna, noted that fast food and carryout restaurants, bars and

GROSSE POINTE WOODS HOSTS MICHIGAN LITTLE LEAGUE STATE TOURNAMENT
BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
WOODS — Ghesquiere Park in Grosse Pointe Woods hosted the ages 9-11 2025 Michigan Little League state tournament from July 26 to July 31 in what was a thrilling week of baseball.
Not only did a Grosse Pointe area team host the tournament, but Grosse Pointe Farms-City Little League made the championship game and played an exciting 11-7 ballgame against state champion Greater Bay Little League.
“It was a great game. Going into it, we knew that Greater Bay was the defending 10-year-old state champion last year,” Grosse Pointe Farms-City coach Bill Crandall said. “We got down 2-0 early, got back to tie it 2-2, then we went down again 4-2 and came back. … We tied it 4-4. It shows that the team never gave up and they competed.”
The score was 11-4 heading into the final inning of play, and GPFC managed to fight back and make it a closer game late.
Despite the finals loss, the whole week was a success for the Grosse Pointe area.

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.
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.
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 --
“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 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.”

COMMUNITY BRIEFS
Grosse Pointe Woods residents and their guests set up folding chairs and blankets on the lawn of Woods City Hall on the hot summer evening of July 25 to enjoy a concert by Mainstream Drive and celebrate the city’s 75th anniversary.
The concert — part of the Woods’ Music on the Lawn series — was one of the events city leaders organized in 2025 to mark this milestone in the city’s history.
Attendees noshed on complimentary hot dogs, chips and pop from a National Coney Island food truck while children engaged in activities including sidewalk chalk drawing and blowing bubbles, which drifted in iridescent splendor over the crowd.
State Rep. Veronica Paiz, D-Harper Woods, addressed the crowd briefly.
“It’s really wonderful to be here and see a celebration of your 75th anniversary,” Paiz said. “What I’ve come to know about Grosse Pointe Woods over the years is that there’s a lot of pride in your community, in your schools.”
She said that many families have lived in the Woods for generations, with grown children moving back to raise their own families.
Bryant invited residents to stop inside the Community Center during the concert to record some of their favorite Woods memories as part of the 75th anniversary.
The final anniversary event will take place Dec. 11 — the date the Woods formally became a city. Plans were still being finalized at press time for that event.
“Have a good evening, and enjoy other festivities put on between now and December,” Bryant said.

Tournament
from page 2A
There was competitive baseball played throughout the tournament that did a fantastic job of showcasing the best that Michigan has to offer.
“The state of Michigan is divided into 16 districts,” Crandall said. “You had to win your district so they then were the representative of the Little League that makes up their district.”
After the group stage of the week, the top eight teams are put into a single elimination tournament and the last team standing is the winner. This year, that was Greater Bay Little League.
“We were able to get in (to the championship game) with our one and two pitchers available,” Greater Bay coach Craig Francis said. “Grosse Pointe (Farms-City) hit very well; we were just able to make some plays in the field.”
The atmosphere for Greater Bay was comparable to a road game than a neutral field tournament. Facing off against a Grosse Pointe area team in Grosse Pointe posed a challenge, but Greater Bay was prepared and rose to the occasion.
“Yeah, we talked about that, but last year when these guys were 10 (years old) and we were up in the U.P., we played the home team up there as well (in the championship

Grosse Pointe
game),” Francis said. “But they ran a great tournament down there. … They made it a real good experience for the kids.”
To add to the experience, the hosts also sent the entire tournament field to the Detroit Tigers game the Friday before tournament play started. It was a special experience from start to finish, and Grosse Pointe Woods is being recognized as a great Little League tournament host.
Now focus shifts to the 12U year. On top of being a coach for GPFC, Crandall is also a Little League district administrator, the vice chair for the state of Michigan, and is on the Little League International Advisory Board. So, Crandall knows the importance of this group’s next season to the kids. 12U is the big one.
“The 12-year-old year is the big year. That’s the year you advance past the state tournament to the regional tournament in Indiana,” Crandall said. “And then the goal of all 12-year-olds is to make it to the Little League World Series in Williamsport.”
This year’s Little League World Series regionals recently started and are such a big deal that the games are televised on ESPN.
Greater Bay Little League will try to get as many of the team’s players back again next year for 12U baseball so that the squad can make a run at Williamsport. To follow along and learn more, visit michiganlittleleague.org.

Auto dealers: Buy now before tariffs drive prices up
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — With looming tariffs likely to push auto prices higher, industry insiders say now’s the time to buy.
It’s a buyer’s market, according to Robert Shastal, general manager of the Fox Automotive Group in Rochester Hills.
“Right now, buyers have an advantage,” he said. “If they wait, they could face higher prices, fewer incentives, missed opportunities on trade values, and the end of EV credits.”
Buying sooner may keep more green in your wallet, with tariffs on imported vehicles expected to lead to price increases in the near future.
“The tariffs and supply chain costs are rising, but right now, automakers are still holding their line with in-

Shores council approves first Warrior Run
BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com
SHORES — Participants are being sought for a charitable cross-country-style endurance challenge that will take be held this fall in Grosse Pointe Shores.
The first-ever Warrior Run will take place at 1 p.m. Oct. 12 at Vernier Hill, which is located behind the Shores Department of Public Works building. Shores City Manager Stephen Poloni said organizers are limiting the event to 100 participants, who will complete as many laps in the park as they can during a 60-minute period. The event will be contained to Gerald C. Schroeder Field and adjacent Vernier Hill. All funds raised will be donated to the JT Mestdagh Foundation, which was established in 2020 to support children and families facing colorectal and learning challenges.
“They would be required to provide liability insurance,” Poloni told the Shores City Council during a meeting July 15. “Parking would be OK.”
Poloni added that Public Safety Director Kenneth Werenski didn’t see any problems with the event.
JT Mestdagh is teaming up with PJ Vlahantones, co-owner of Fusion Integrated Training, to organize the Warrior Run.
“It’ll be a fun event with activity and exercise,” Mestdagh said.
Shores officials agreed, voting unanimously to allow the Warrior Run to take place on city property.

In his junior mayor role, Bishop gave a speech about Juneteenth during a Juneteenth event for the Grosse Pointes and Harper Woods June 19 at Wayne County Community College District’s Mary Ellen Stempfle University Center in Harper Woods.
“It was amazing,” Bishop said. “I loved the opportunity and experience to speak out. It was pretty awesome.”
Juneteenth, usually celebrated on June 19, marks the end of slavery in the United States. It commemorates June 19, 1865, the date enslaved people of African descent in Galveston, Texas, learned that slavery had been abolished, according to the U.S. National Park Service website. Although slavery was abolished in the rebellious states when President Abraham Lincoln issued the Eman-
Councilwoman Danielle Gehlert said. “It’s nice to see something else in the community.”
Mayor Ted Kedzierski echoed that sentiment.
“It’s a very good community event,” Kedzierski said. “We should promote that.”
Mestdagh’s grandparents are the philanthropists Marlene and the late John Boll, of Grosse Pointe Shores. He created his own foundation after dealing with VATER syndrome, short-term memory loss and dyslexia from a young age. Mestdagh hasn’t let his physical and mental challenges prevent him from living a full life, and today he’s a bestselling author, motivational speaker, podcast host and philanthropist.
“I’ve (always) wanted to give back,” said Mestdagh, whose foundation has provided medical supplies not covered by insurance to children who’ve suffered from medical conditions similar to the ones he’s dealt with.
He said they also work with Ronald McDonald House Charities, which provides a place for parents to stay while their children are receiving medical treatment far from home.
“We do adventures to raise money,” Mestdagh said.
He said they wanted to create a local event so that people in the community could get involved.
“Good luck,” said Kedzierski, congratulating Mestdagh and Vlahantones after the council vote. “I hope you have great weather.

ELECTION UPDATE
To Whom it May Concern,
I am writing this letter on behalf of Joe Ricci. Frankly, it is an honor to do so.
As a life-long resident of Grosse Pointe, I have personally known Joe for many of those years. We have enjoyed fellowship through mutual friends, membership at the Country Club of Detroit, and as parishioners at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church. I have bought a car from Joe, and two other friends have done so as well. Two of our children knew his children at school.
Joe has been devoted to our little community of Grosse Pointe Farms. He is now serving his 12th year on the City Council. He has been the Mayor Pro Tern as well.
He has been involved in the welfare of young people both in Grosse Pointe and in Detroit. Over the years, Joe has supported the Cornerstone Schools, six little schools across the city. He joined with me and my wife, and one other friend, so we could purchase a new school bus for the children of Holy· Redeemer School in southwest Detroit.
Whenever he has been asked to help, he responds with a joy lled generosity. Joe is a man for others.
Yours sincerely

centives. People will risk paying more once those costs hit because the manufacturers can’t take on the additional costs forever,” said Shastal.
Ledell Griffin, sales manager at Galeana’s Van Dyke Dodge in Warren, said tariffs will not only increase prices, but it will also affect incentives and how vehicles and parts are shipped.
“It’s passed down to the consumer, so it’s not something that the manufacturer pays for,” he said. “If a part used to cost $100, it might cost $150 to $200, depending on the tariffs.”
New vehicle inventory has rebounded to near pre-pandemic levels, so buyers also have a wider selection to choose from. And, with increased inventory, dealerships are more likely to offer deals to attract buyers.
“Whenever we have a lot of inventory, we put a lot of sales on, so that’s another good reason to buy, because inventory is now
at an all-time high for me. I’ve never had so many trucks,” said Griffin.
Those interested in purchasing a new or used electric vehicle, or an EV, can also take advantage of savings, but only for the next two months. The Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 qualified certain electric vehicles for a tax credit of up to $7,500 for eligible buyers. However, the federal vehicle tax credit is set to expire Sept. 30.
“One of the big incentives for all brands is the federal EV tax credit — $7,500 on new, and $4,000 on used — which ends Sept. 30, making the next two months the last chance to capture that savings for a buyer,” Shastal explained.
If you already have a car and are looking to trade, industry leaders say now is an excellent time.
“Trade-in value remains strong and used car inventory is still tight, so the dealers are paying top dollar for trades, making it a great time to maximize the vehicle’s value,” Shastal added.

tunate to be one of the first places in Michigan to serve it.”
It will be available at first on draft only, with bottles to come later, he said.
Kennedy and his wife, Allyce, are cohosting the Aug. 11 event, which will feature a visit from Yuengling representatives. Because Aug. 11 is a Monday, it coincides with the bar’s Monday $5 burger special. The bar is also known for its Philly cheesesteaks, which seems fitting for the arrival of Yuengling.
Tom Junod, director of business development for Yuengling, said Kennedy’s Irish Coffee is one of four bars in Michigan where the beer will be served in Michigan for the first time Aug. 11. The others are in Lansing,
Ann Arbor and Detroit, he said. More venues will be carrying it as well in the future, Junod said.
“There’s been a lot of excitement about our brand in Michigan,” Junod said. “It’s been a long time coming, so we’re excited to finally be bringing our beer to Michigan.
Kennedy said Yuengling appeals to a wide spectrum of beer drinkers and will make a great addition to the large variety of draft beers they already offer.
“We’re honored that they’re bringing it to Michigan and giving us the opportunity to sell the beer,” Kennedy said. “We’re excited.”
Like Yuengling, Kennedy’s Irish Coffee Bar & Grill has a long history. The bar, which was opened by Kennedy’s parents — John and Kathy Kennedy — in 1980, just celebrated its 45th anniversary in May.
Kennedy’s Irish Coffee will be serving
Yuengling’s original Traditional Lager, the light beer Yuengling Flight, and Yuengling Black & Tan initially.
Beer lovers will also be able to buy Yuengling soon for home and picnic use. Junod said packaged beer sales will start at Michigan liquor and grocery stores Sept. 15, where it should be widely available. Customers can expect to find Yuengling’s classic lager, light lager, low-carb Flight line and black & tan brews in store, Junod said.
“We’ve gotten a lot of great reception (from Michigan bars and stores),” Junod said.
Kennedy’s Irish Coffee Bar & Grill is located at 18666 Mack Ave. in Grosse Pointe Farms. For more information, call (313) 881-5675 or visit their Facebook page.
is more than an exhibition; it’s a celebration of community, culture, and the shared joy of discovery.”
The chamber worked with community leaders and museum officials to find good spaces for the artworks.
“This year we partnered with the Chamber of Commerce to do a larger installation throughout all the Grosse Pointes, increasing the impact of the program across the whole region,” DIA Community Engagement Manager Colleen McNamara said via email. “We worked with the communities to select locations where residents can easily engage with the art, from local libraries to pocket parks. Our hope is that seeing these images out in the community will encourage residents to come down to the museum to explore more of the DIA’s collection and take advantage of
some great summer programming.”
Inside|Out is a way for the museum to reach out to communities and share its collection with people where they live.
For Grosse Pointe Woods — which is celebrating its 75th anniversary as a city this year — having several of the artworks on view is especially exciting.
“I think it’s good because a lot of times people forget how great the DIA is and what’s available there,” Woods Mayor Arthur Bryant said. “I think it’s nice people in our neighborhoods can get reminded of what’s down there and help draw people to the DIA.”
Bryant is among the local officials happy to have the reproductions on display throughout the Pointes this year.
“It’s just a wonderful thing to have in the area,” Bryant said.

Back pain patients fnd relief with spinal decompression
Back pain can be a debilitating chronic condition that robs people of the ability to work or engage in daily activities, and it can be tough to treat.
Dr. Lawrence Mosurak III of Grosse Pointe Spine Center, a chiropractor with more than 10 years of experience, has seen this all too often, which has led him to offering a solution that works: nonsurgical spinal decompression. By gently expanding disc space in the neck or back, nutrients, water and oxygen can enter the space to stabilize and revive the discs. Research shows that spinal decompression has a success rate of about 85% to 90%, while spinal surgery success rates are just over 50%, according to a report from the National Institutes of Health. Grosse Pointe Spine Center uses the DRX9000, which Mosurak said is the best piece of spinal decompression equipment on the market.
Mosurak said he’s looking for patients
who’ve been unable to fnd relief after months or years of suffering. “I look forward to helping people who have not been able to be helped by other treatments and get them back to the things they love doing,” he said.
A patient in 2024 had been out of work for a year and was fve weeks away from spinal surgery when he visited Mosurak. He noticed improvement immediately.
“By the fourth week (of spinal decompression), he cancelled the surgery,” Mosurak said of his patient, who worked in construction. “By the sixth week, he was back to work.”
The conditions Mosurak treats include bulging or herniated discs, spinal stenosis, sciatica, arthritis and degenerative disc disease, among others. “Nobody gets worse,” Mosurak said. “That’s why I feel comfortable recommending this. We’ve seen that it works, and I love that I don’t have to recommend something that has scary side effects.”
Mosurak — who moved his offce from Warren to Grosse Pointe Woods in January 2024 — offers a free consultation so patients can see if this is the right option for them. For more information, call (313) 332-0388 or visit https://grossepointespinecenter.com.

Rezoning
from page 1A
liquor stores would be required to obtain a special land use approval, if any of these types of businesses were to be considered.
Justin Buccellato, a resident of the Grosse Pointes, owns 14 properties along the Mack Avenue corridor, eight of those being in the Woods.
“It’s just not salvageable,” Buccellato said of the existing medical building during a July 22 Planning Commission meeting. “I want to do a nice, class A development. … It’s for the community. I want to enhance it, make it beautiful, make it exciting.”
Bruce Nichols, Buccellato’s attorney, argued during the July 22 Planning Commission meeting that this seemed to be “more about the whole master plan” than his client’s development.
Nichols said that his client has made “favorable changes” to the redevelopment in response to concerns from residents, including reducing the square footage by almost 2,000 square feet and increasing green space and landscaping.
“He’s asking for rezoning for a building that’s practically obsolescent,” Nichols said of the medical building.
Planning Commission member Donna O’Keefe attempted to allay some concerns among residents.
“This is not going to be a strip mall,” said O’Keefe, noting that commercial zoning still allows for office use. “They’re not going to put in a Chick-fil-A or a Wendy’s. Grosse Pointe Woods doesn’t allow that.”
O’Keefe said redevelopment “helps the other businesses” in the area.
“Mack needs new development to stay vibrant and vital,” O’Keefe said.
Planning Commission member Michael Fuller said the revised proposal from the developer “addresses almost every single complaint I’ve heard,” including adding more trees and adding green space on the Oxford Road side in an area that had originally been slated for parking.
“All of your public comments were extremely successful,” Fuller said to residents. “I’ve never seen this much change from a developer based on citizen comments.”
Residents remain against the development, however. They said that they get additional petition signatures every week.
Oxford Road resident Gary Felts asked
the City Council July 21 how many residents needed to express opposition to block rezoning, pointing out the large number of residents who have signed petitions and regularly come to council and Planning Commission meetings.
Oxford Road resident Lynne Merrill Aldrich said this project risks “forever destroying the charm” of Grosse Pointe Woods when she addressed the City Council July 21.
Rezoning “would allow construction of a strip center,” said Aldrich, pointing to a marketing brochure for the parcel.
Multiple residents noted the recent closures of several restaurants in the Woods as one of the reasons they don’t need space for another eatery.
Helen Taylor, an Oxford Road resident, said residents aren’t opposed to change.
“We’re not against progress. … We want thoughtful change,” Taylor told the council July 21.
Some residents alleged impropriety with regard to this project.
“I find it upsetting that we have Planning Commission members that have a financial interest (in this property),” longtime Woods resident Mary Beth Nicholson told the council July 21.
Christina Pitts is another of the residents who have alleged conflict of interest, interest peddling, and bias in favor of certain developers and architects, among other concerns.
The architect for the project is John Vitale, of the Royal Oak-based firm Stucky Vitale Architects. Vitale has served as a member of the Planning Commission for more than 30 years.
Vitale denied any improper conduct, noting that he followed the proper protocol.
“Any project that we’ve done (in Grosse Pointe Woods), we would always recuse ourselves,” said Vitale, referring to himself and former commission member James McNelis, who recently left the Planning Commission.
“There’s no influence that we’ve put on any commission or council member. … There’s never been a conflict of interest.”
Vitale said he recused himself from any votes on this development, as well as from debate among the commissioners about it.
“Everything’s always been done properly,” Vitale said. “Nothing’s been done underhanded by the city.”
He said the current zoning “is very antiquated. It dates back to when the doctor
lived above his practice.” Vitale said changing the zoning to commercial will improve walkability and add needed flexibility to encourage new businesses to come into the city.
Some residents have likened the design to something they’d see in Royal Oak, which they believe is a bad thing for the Woods.
Lifelong Pointer Patrick Turnbull said he loves the charm of the Woods.
“I’m not opposed to development, but progress for the sake of progress isn’t progress. … Cookie-cutter development like this is going to tear this town apart,” Turnbull said.
Mia Tedesco, a 19-year-old college student who lives on Ford Court, said she always looks forward to coming back “to this beautiful town.”
“You’re going to be losing that smalltown charm that I brag about (to my friends),” a tearful Tedesco told the City Council at a meeting July 21.
The Planning Commission voted unanimously July 22 to reaffirm its prior vote in favor of rezoning the parcel to commercial. The matter now lies in the hands of the City Council.
At press time, the City Council was expected to consider the Planning Commission’s recommendation to approve rezoning at its next regular meeting at 7 p.m. Aug. 18. An agenda hadn’t been prepared for that meeting as of press time but will be available prior to the meeting on the city’s website at gpwmi.us/meetings.
