Supervisor

‘cautiously optimistic’

about Priority improvements

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — After sending Clinton Township-based waste hauler Priority Waste a notice of default following its last meeting, the relationship between the company and the Macomb Township Board of Trustees appeared to be improved at the July 23 meeting.

Township Supervisor Frank Viviano gave the board an update on the work being done with Priority near the end of the board’s final July session. Viviano and the township attorney spoke with Priority representatives on July 18 and noted that it appeared the hauler was making improvements.

“Since then, service — at least from what we can tell from the supervisor’s office based on the number of calls and emails we have been getting — seems to have improved rather dramatically,” Viviano said. “I can’t say that we’re back to the levels we were in the early spring and winter, but certainly the calls have fallen off to my office.”

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — Over two years since the Old Township Hall was relocated to the corner of Broughton Road and Plattsburg Street, plans to make the historic space stand out have been progressing at pace.

As of late July, several gardens have been planted around the Historic Township Hall with plans to add more in the future.

‘BENEFIT ON THE BAY’ CONTINUES TO HELP CAPUCHIN SOUP KITCHEN

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

HARRISON TOWNSHIP/ST. CLAIR SHORES —

When Michael Schodowski was studying tae kwon do to earn his black belt more than 40 years ago, another student invited him to

visit the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit after class one night.

“I didn’t know anything about it,” Schodowski said. “He drove me there and gave me a tour. I was taken aback from all the good work they do. I felt more appreciative about the things we take for granted.”

SPONGY MOTH: The insatiable leaf eater

BY DEAN VAGLIA dvaglia@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — For those who have been to the farther reaches of the region in the summer, a few odd sights stand out to the keen eye. Crop dusters flying low in the morning hours. Bands of burlap or duct tape stretched around trees. Dark green specks covering nearly everything in sight. Scores of trees left bare and unprotected from the coming winter’s harshness.

All of this is the doing of one little bug: the spongy moth.

The spongy moth — scientifically known as the Lymantria dispar, and until 2022 as the gypsy moth — is an invasive insect species brought to the United States in the mid-19th century. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, larvae kept in Massachusetts escaped sometime between 1868 and 1869 and the moths have made their way west ever since. Their travel has been facilitated by the wind, as the species’ larvae are carried away, and the spongy moth makes its presence in an area known with its infamous appetite for nearly all kinds of foliage.

“Generally, the feeding (on leaves) is going to impact stressed trees,” said Cheryl Nelson, a forest health

Historical beer to make Michigan debut in local bar

BY K. MICHELLE MORAN kmoran@candgnews.com

GROSSE POINTE FARMS — A beer that many Michiganders have sampled and loved while visiting states like Florida and Illinois will soon be just a short drive from home

Yuengling (pronounced “yingling”) will arrive at a handful of Michigan bars and restaurants on Aug. 11 as part of a statewide rollout this year. One of those locations will be Kennedy’s Irish Coffee Bar & Grill in Grosse Pointe Farms, which is inviting the community to celebrate this debut starting at around 3 p.m. Aug. 11.

Based in Pennsylvania, D.G. Yuengling & Son Inc. is America’s oldest brewery. Its founder, D.G. Yuengling, started brewing Lord Chesterfield Ale and Dark Brewed Porter in 1829. The company remains family-owned, with Dick Yuengling becoming the fifth-generation owner in 1985. His daughters have since become employed with the brewery as well.

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.

“It’s a big deal,” said Mike Kennedy, owner of Kennedy’s Irish Coffee. “It’s been a very popular beer (around the country). We’re fortunate 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.

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.

Auto dealers: Buy now before tariffs drive prices up

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

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

DNR asks Michiganders to spot, squish, and report lanternflies

MICHIGAN — The Michigan Department of Natural Resources is asking Michiganders to take action against the invasive spotted lanternfly insect.

Aside from being an outdoor pest, the spotted lanternfly feasts on over 70 types of crops including the also-invasive tree of heaven and native black walnut, river birch, willow, sumac and red maple. The insects cause direct damage by sucking sap from host plants and secreting large amounts of a sugarrich, sticky liquid called “honeydew.” The “honeydew” and the resulting black sooty mold can kill plants and foul surfaces, along with attracting other pests like yellow jackets, flies and ants.

Spotted lanternflies spread mostly through their eggs being moved, so Michiganders are asked to check surfaces on cars, trailers, firewood, outdoor furniture, equipment and more to make sure no lanternfly eggs are being carried. The lanternflies can be spotted in the juvenile stage as a black or red bug with white spots and as an adult with tan-clear wings covered in black spots.

To make sure spotted lanternflies are being properly targeted, the DNR recommends people to check its website for lookalike species. Once the insect is properly identified as a spotted lanternfly, Michiganders are encouraged to promptly squish the bug and report its sighting to the DNR by completing the survey at www2.dnr.state.mi.us/ors/Survey/38.

bed,” said Nethanya Fonseka, a Macomb Township resident and the founder of tree planting project Plant It Forward. “(Kathi Pipenbrock, a fellow resident volunteer and a master gardener) was able to bring in a lot of community master gardeners, and I was able to get a few student volunteers to come out and volunteer. Next spring we hope to plant one or two more, but obviously we’ll need more help from the community.”

The gardens, the first of which was planted on June 27, make up the heritage garden that aims to give the Old Township Hall landscaping reflective of what the township was like over 100 years ago. Consisting of native plants aiming to support local pollinators, the garden is just one of four intended to surround the old hall. The pollinator garden is located on the northwest side of the plot with a sunflower garden set to be planted in the southwest corner, a Victorian garden in the southeast corner and a white garden planned for the northeast corner.

“We’re trying to be aware of our environment when we’re planting, and also trying to teach others to be aware,” Pipenbrock said. “That’s the whole idea behind this.”

Along with the planned gardens, space behind the Old Township Hall that previously was sitting dormant has been repurposed to create a wildflower meadow.

“That area of land is pretty overlooked,” Fonseka said. “A lot of people just walk right by it because it was cluttered with a lot of invasive thistle and it had a lot

of construction debris there. We wanted to turn it into a space for biodiversity and our pollinators. We already have the heritage garden, but we wanted to go beyond that.”

Once the land was cleared of debris, the group received wildflower seeds from Green Macomb that will join the perennials and pollinator-friendly flora already planted in the meadow-designated area. Seeding is planned to begin this fall and take place in spring 2026 as well. Even in early stages of the meadow, butterflies and monarch caterpillars have been spotted feeding on the pollen.

The volunteers behind the gardens at the Old Township Hall are also responsible for planting a hummingbird garden on the south end of Pitchford Park back in April 2024. The garden has since been able to grow well after some minor touch ups, and the volunteers are in the stages of using the garden as an educational opportunity. Labels for the garden’s plants are being added on stakes, and pamphlets about the garden will be placed in the park as well.

“(The Pitchford plants) are getting a foothold in a difficult area that was compacted and heavy clay and poor nutrition and (had) a lot of flooding with all the torrential rains we’ve had,” Pipenbrock said. “I’m hoping by next year we’re going to have quite the garden.”

The volunteers are looking for support from community members or community groups interested in donating time or resources to their gardening projects around Macomb Township. Those interested in gardening can contact Pipenbrock at (586) 322-2268.

Ryan-Parsley’s daughter, Jennifer Ryan, had a prepared statement read by Heather Morman, Macomb County’s chief victim rights advocate. In her letter, Ryan said her mother was her best friend, confidant and many other things.

“Her death didn’t just end her life, it destroyed the life we had and the version of me that existed when she was still alive,” Ryan said in the statement.

Ryan said in the statement she has lost many family members but that losing her mother this way “shattered” what was left of her.

“She was strong, smart and loving,” Ryan said in the statement. “She had survived so much already. She deserved peace and safety. Not fear, not pain, not the violence he inflicted on her, and I live with the weight of that every single day, something I never asked for.”

In the end, Ryan asked the judge to hold Burns fully accountable.

that Ryan-Parsley was his whole life.

“This blue collar, machine shop working guy broke down in tears,” Fox said. “And that speaks volumes to the type of woman she was.”

Burns’ attorney, Elisha Oakes, said he expressed remorse for what he had done that afternoon in 2023. She said that while the jury didn’t find any evidence of insanity, he does have mental health diagnoses.

“Even a presentence investigation report does say that he is a diagnosed schizophrenic,” Oakes said.

Burns did not say anything during the sentencing.

He was convicted of eight charges related to the attacks. The list includes first-degree murder, assault with the intent to murder, multiple weapons charges, disarming a peace officer and a habitual offender charge.

Faunce called what Burns did a “horror movie in real life.”

“The random violence is rarely heard of in real life,” Faunce said. “It’s horrific. You left horror in the hearts of the family of Baecke and the Parsley family and all their friends that will never go away.”

Baecke was not available to come to court the day of sentencing.

Oakes, Fox and the Parsley family had no comment at the end of the case.

Viviano said he has been giving Priority Waste daily updates and has received reports that up to two new trucks may have entered service in the township.

In speaking with other Macomb County and Oakland County communities with Priority Waste contracts, Viviano felt assured that the issues were stemming from problematic vehicles operating out of Priority’s Sterling Heights lot, as explained by Priority. Oakland County communities appeared to not have the same service issues as Macomb County communities have, and the company’s Oakland operations are handled from a separate lot.

Despite an indication that problems were being resolved, Viviano indicated the township was not going to take Priority’s word alone on service improvements.

“Given that we’ve experienced this these last few months, my office is committed to at least going through the process of continuing to do due diligence, continuing to monitor,” Viviano said. “We will do everything we can to prepare ourselves so that this doesn’t happen again and educate ourselves on waste hauler issues and alternatives.”

Under the notice of default authorized at the July 9 meeting, Priority Waste will have a public hearing to discuss service issues at the Wednesday, Aug. 13 board meeting.

Grease program approved

Trustees approved a $112,000 contract with Auburn Hills-based wastewater management firm Eganix to set up a fats, oils and grease interceptor maintenance program for the township’s sewers. The program aims to reduce blockages caused by improperly disposed fats, oils and grease.

“Grease is very prevalent in our sanitary sewers impacting our lift stations and sanitary sewer infrastructure,” Department of Public Works Director Kevin Johnson said. “This program will have Eganix go through every business that introduces fats, oils and greases into our system which will include restaurants, oil change businesses, car washes and others, gather information on the grease traps and make sure they’re properly maintained.”

The plan calls for Eganix to draft an ordinance that, once approved, would allow the township to pursue penalties against businesses that put more than 100 parts per million of grease into sanitary sewers. A GISbased system will allow the township to track grease waste in the sanitary sewer system.

Sewer lining repair

During the annual camera inspections of township sewers, the DPW discovered 15 locations where electricity company DTE Energy bored grounding rods into sanitary sewer pipes.

The rods had since been removed, and

trustees approved having Duke’s Root Control apply sectional lining repairs at a cost of roughly $61,000.

Johnson said the DPW is seeking full reimbursement for the repairs by DTE. Call Staff Writer Dean Vaglia at (586) 498-1043.

Capuchin

After volunteering for several years, Schodowski — president of the company Shelving.com based in Madison Heights — wanted to do more. So, in 1993, he invited family and friends to Island Cove Marina in Harrison Township for a fundraiser to benefit the nonprofit organization.

While listening to music from an AM/ FM radio, a crowd gathered for beer and pizza and raised $1,400 for the charity during Schodowski’s initial fundraiser. In its 10th year, the “Benefit on the Bay” fundraiser moved from the marina to MacRay Harbor, located at 30675 N. River Road in Harrison Township. Schodowski has never lost his desire to help the Capuchin Soup Kitchen and is preparing for the 32nd annual Benefit on the Bay Aug. 22 at MacRay Harbor.

“Benefit on the Bay is very high-electricity. There’s a high vibe in the room,” Schodowski said. “It’s a very high-energy event.”

The event will include food, entertainment, silent and live auctions, an ice cream and frozen espresso cart, and more. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. Also scheduled is a performance by the Capuchin Show Choir. Ryan Ermanni, of Fox 2 News, will emcee the benefit, and there will be a special appearance from retired Detroit Lion Herman Moore.

According to organizers, all of the evening proceeds support the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. To date, Benefit on the Bay has raised over $3 million in net proceeds for the charity.

“We underwrite 100% of the costs,” Schodowski said.

With its success over the years, Schodowski added another component to the fundraiser: a VIP night. This year’s third annual VIP night will be held the evening before Benefit on the Bay from 6-9 p.m. Aug. 21 at Hook Restaurant, located at 24214 Jefferson Ave., in St. Clair Shores.

‘I believe we make an impact’

Capuchin Soup Kitchen Executive Director Br. Gary Wegner said money raised during the annual benefit primarily is put towards the charity’s general operating expenses. Wegner, who has been a Capuchin friar since 1982, also said the organization does not receive any government assistance. He has attended the Benefit on the Bay events at MacRay Harbor for several years and described them as “celebratory.”

“It’s a beautiful location out on the lake,” he said. “People are very supportive. We hope they get to know the soup kitchen. I believe we make an impact.”

Inspired by St. Francis of Assisi, a number of friars that were part of the Order of Friars Minor Capuchin, based in Rome, started the Capuchin Soup Kitchen in Detroit in 1883. In 1924, Rev. Solanus Casey arrived at the monastery, and the charity began to expand, especially when the Great Depression hit in 1929. The Capuchin Soup Kitchen now has seven programs to assist men, women and children in need.

The meal program, which started it all,

currently has two Detroit sites for families to get a free meal. The 1264 Meldrum St. facility is open for breakfast and lunch. The second site at 4390 Conner St. offers breakfast, lunch and dinner. Wegner said between the two the meal sites more than 1,000 meals are served per day.

The friars also made farming part of its community with the Earthworks Urban Farm, a 1.25-acre certified organic farm located on the east side of Detroit. There is a spiritual care component, which serves as another program, and the Capuchin Services Center provides emergency food and clothing where items are offered in a retail-like setting.

The Capuchin Soup Kitchen also provides substance use disorder support and treatment and sponsors Jefferson House, a 12-bed, residential treatment facility for men recovering from addictions. The program, too, provides the men the opportunity to work at other Capuchin Soup Kitchen locations, for which they are paid a modest

stipend. New residents to Jefferson House are admitted via referral from inpatient substance abuse treatment programs.

In an effort to boost the lives of children and teenagers, the Rosa Parks Children & Youth Program was incorporated with after school tutoring and art therapy sessions for children ages 6-15, youth leadership opportunities, and family activities.

The seventh Capuchin Soup Kitchen program is the On the Rise Bakery & Cafe located inside the Solanus Casey Center at 1780 Mount Elliott St., in Detroit. The bakery is open for business Tuesdays through Saturdays for muffins, pies, sandwiches, sweets, coffee and more. The menu items are prepared by men who have recently been released from prison or have completed a substance use disorder treatment program.

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On July 17 at around 5 p.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 21000 block of South La Roche Drive for a malicious property damage report.

Deputies spoke with the property manager, who claimed someone entered the residence while it was unoccupied and put holes in the walls. The property manager was notified of the damage after a cleaning company came to the residence, and the damage occurred days after the prior resident was evicted. A number was provided for the evicted resident, but there was no answer when called.

The property manager said the ownership company wished to press charges.

Burgled car

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On July 16 at around 11:30 a.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 48000 block of Manhattan Drive for a larceny from auto report.

Deputies spoke with a 49-year-old Ma-

comb Township woman who said her neighbors told her their doorbell security camera caught someone trying to break into her car.

The footage captured around 4 a.m. shows two sedans stopping outside of the home. One person approaches the home while another approaches the car.

The woman said her car doors were left unlocked. About $10 in change was stolen.

Broken door handle

MACOMB TOWNSHIP — On July 16 at around 7:40 a.m., Macomb County Sheriff’s Office deputies were called to the 4600 block of White Cap Drive for a larceny from auto report.

Deputies spoke with a 60-year-old Macomb Township man who noticed a passenger-side door handle was partially broken off his car earlier that morning.

While the man had a security camera, it did not pick up the incident that would have caused the door handle to come off.

The man believed the incident occurred July 14-15 and wished to press charges if a suspect was found.

outreach forester with the Michigan Department of Natural Resources. “The healthiest of trees — those that are watered, yard trees that are watered, trees in a forest that have been managed (and) thinned out to leave behind healthy trees — are going to survive a couple years of defoliation by the caterpillars. But what can happen is that without those leaves to capture the sunlight and create more food, stressed trees can die from it.”

The spongy moth larvae’s ability to defoliate trees has become one way state natural resources officials track its spread. The 2021 generation of spongy moths was able to defoliate 1.3 million acres of Michigan forests. That 2021 generation was the spongy moth’s population peak, giving Michiganders their best chance of seeing what has become a campground pest and arborist’s scourge.

“The spongy moths as caterpillars have both blue and red pairs of dots on their backs, so they’re very easy to see and identify,” Nelson said. “Then, as the adult moths, the females are white and do not fly … The males have the big, bushy antennas to seek out those female pheromones. They fly to mate with the female, and then the female will lay egg masses. (Spongy moth eggs) are going to be brown and fuzzy and then there are the individual eggs underneath (the fuzz).”

While the DNR does not undertake mitigation efforts against the spongy moth, the species has found itself in the crosshairs of a litany of mitigation methods. One of the more accessible ways of dealing with spongy moths in an area is by “banding” trees. When spongy moth caterpillars are about an inch long, wrapping large lengths of burlap around affected trees creates an easy spot for knocking or vacuuming the caterpillars off the tree and into buckets of soapy water for disposal. Bands can also be made from duct tape covered in petroleum jelly or commercially available insect barrier pastes such as Tanglefoot. More information about making these barriers can be found in the Michigan State University Extension article “Using Bands to Protect Shade Trees from Spongy Moth.”

Those with more resources at their disposal can arrange to have the microorganism called Bacillus thuringiensis, more commonly referred to as Bt, sprayed to control outbreaks in their area. Bt is a naturally occurring organism that damages the digestive system of spongy moth caterpillars when swallowed. Bt sprays and powders are available for purchase, and larger amounts of Bt can be aerially applied. More information

on Bt can be found in the MSUE article “Btk: One Management Option for Spongy Moth.”

But the most meaningful mitigation tool of all is one nobody has to apply — because it’s already inside the Spongy Moth. Nucleopolyhedrosis virus is present within spongy moth communities and, when populations are high during outbreaks, can cause moths to die from the stresses of competing for food and resting space. Alongside the NPV virus is Entomophaga maimaiga, a fungus from Japan that has been used to attack spongy moth populations in the United States since the early 1900s and was introduced to Michigan in the 1990s. When moisture and humidity are high, spongy moth caterpillars can come into contact with Entomophaga maimaiga spores on soil or tree bark. The fungus then grows inside the caterpillars and can kill them within a week.

It is on the back of these mitigation factors that the spongy moth population has shown signs of decline. Since their defoliating heyday of 1.3 million acres in 2021, spongy moths only defoliated around 169,000 acres in 2024. And with one of the mitigation measures being a virus, Nelson says the spongy moth has been naturalized in Michigan.

“Now spongy moths act just like our natural populations of (caterpillars) where we might see outbreak years, but then after two to three years those numbers drop down again because they have those natural biocontrols in the environment to knock them back,” Nelson said. “Spongy moths are now considered naturalized, and we will see the same happen with populations getting high again. We’ll have outbreaks to deal with in the future (and) numbers will drop back.”

People can control the spread of spongy moths by checking their clothes, vehicles and items for any caterpillars and spongy moth eggs after spending time outside. For more information about spongy moths, go to canr. msu.edu/spongy-moth/index.
