The work was part of a larger $14.2 million project that included the downsizing of City Hall, renovations at the library next door, and the construction of a new Active Adult Center between them. Those three buildings are located at the Civic Center Plaza on 13 Mile Road

HAZEL PARK — Mere weeks after tying the knot, Melissa Albers and her new husband, Micah, were clearing storm debris from their Hazel Park home when a branch slid the wrong way off the roof and struck her in a near-fatal blow.

Now, the newlyweds are praising the Hazel Park Fire Department, thanking the paramedics who saved Melissa’s life.

“I’m sorry, I’m going to start crying, but I’m so thankful to live in Hazel Park,” Melissa said. “Because as much as

B.D.T.

Celebrates 50 years in the smoke shop business, opens The Hive on-site

In 1973, B.D.T. Smoke Shops opened up its flagship store selling items for all smoking essentials, including bongs, pipes and rolling papers.

This year, the head shop is celebrating 50 years in business. Under the ownership of Curt Goure, B.D.T. has been a vital part of the community and continues to assist customers at its current location, 21630 John R Road in Hazel Park.

With the success of B.D.T. has come two other businesses that are not only within the same facility, but in the same family. For starters, Goure’s daughter Dana Elgie has opened up The Hive at B.D.T., a female-owned-and-operated cannabis boutique with its own retail space inside the B.D.T. building.

Elgie — along with Director Of Operations Carly Gilewski and Advertising and Marketing Coordinator Ashley Wesenberg — has established a state-of-the-art micro business that serves customers looking for infused flower, gummies,

concentrates, topicals, tinctures, pre-rolls, vaping cartridges and more.

Because the micro business is right on-site, The Hive at B.D.T. is able to provide fresh, enriched flowers in an in-house, deli-style dispensary where it’s about quality over quantity.

“It’s a one-stop cannabis shop with a comfortable vibe. We will be specializing in small batches once we have our first harvest late 2023,” Elgie said. “We like to educate our customers when they do come in. We do more one-on-one and see what you need.”

When sharing their knowledge and expertise, Elgie and staff spend time with each customer so they feel welcome, especially if it’s their first time at a retail outlet. Elgie has an exclusive collaboration with Society C for their live resin infused flower they make. The Society C facility is located in Lake Orion.

“Right now we’re specializing in infused flowers.

We get new strains every week. Our most popular flower is the Devil’s Drip or Project Z,” Elgie said.

“I try to focus on the freshness of the flower. Our customers mostly come in for the infused flower. A lot of people still come in with medical cards. We offer 20% off on Mondays for medical card holders and 15% off every day for card holders. We also get a lot of recreation users.”

Working at The Hive at B.D.T. has proved rewarding for Elgie.

“I enjoy it because we have so many returning customers,” she said. “I love one-on-one with the customer. They want to know my opinion. It’s been super helpful to have the one-on-one experience.”

A very large portion of The Hive at B.D.T.’s customers use the products for pain relief, cramping or inflammation. Many patrons also use them to help get to sleep.

“The No. 1 is for sleep,” Elgie said. “The second one is to relax and for mild anxiety.”

The business offers “Tax Free Thursday” in which The Hive at B.D.T. covers the tax on products on that day. The store hours are 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturdays, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Sundays. For more information on the Hive, visit thehivemichigan.com or call (248) 691-1484.

Also open for business at the B.D.T. complex is the BumbleBee Dry Ice and & Extraction Supply, where customers can buy dry ice for cannabis extraction as well as dry ice for keeping food cold in a power outage or safely exterminating rats.

MADISON HEIGHTS — The city of Madison Heights is among nearly a dozen communities that have been awarded park grants through Oakland County. City officials say the Madison Heights grant will pay for a “vibrant” new basketball court at one of the most prominent parks in town.

The grant is worth $22,500 and will cover the replacement of the court at Civic Center Park, 360 W. 13 Mile Road. Ten other communities also received grants, part of the 2023 Oakland County Parks Community Grant Program. Nearly $608,200 was awarded in total.

“This is phenomenal. I played on that court when it was brand new. It’s been awhile, and I’m not the same guy shooting a basketball as I was back then,” said Mark Bliss, the mayor pro tem of Madison Heights. “This is long overdue. But the concept isn’t just another basketball court. This is going to be bright and vibrant, and an incredible visual addition to the park, not just a standard concrete basketball court.”

Bliss said he expects work will begin as early as March. He said that the new court will further cement Civic Center Park as a marquee destination in Madison Heights. The park also hosts popular events such as the Pre-Fourth of July Festival in Parks, and this month’s Trail Tunes.

For the city of Madison Heights — home to county parks including the Red Oaks Waterpark and Red Oaks Nature Center — the gift also represents an ongoing investment in its green spaces.

Toya Aaron, a member of the Madison Heights City Council, thanked Oakland County Commissioner Gary McGillivray for his support of the grant. She noted that the county is in the process of implementing improvements at Ambassador Park, 600 E. 13 Mile

REGISTRATION OPEN FOR ‘BATTLE OF THE BOOKS’ HAZEL PARK PUBLIC LIBRARY ALSO HOSTING A SALE TO BENEFIT PROGRAMS SEPT. 59

BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com

HAZEL PARK — Teams are now forming at the library in Hazel Park for a new event this fall: the Battle of the Books.

The library, located at 123 E. Nine Mile Road, will hold the event at 11 a.m. on Saturday, Nov. 11. Participants will be divided into three age groups: an elementary school tier, with kids in third through fifth grades; a middle school tier for kids in sixth through eighth grades; and a high school tier for those in ninth through 12th grades.

The participants in each tier will vote to read several books, selected from a list curated by the librarians running the contest.

On Nov. 11, before an audience at the library, the teams will square off to see which side can correctly answer the most questions about each title. A panel of judges will decide whether the answers are acceptable.

Randy Ernst-Meyer, one of the librarians, said the questions will cover everything from settings and scenarios to character motivations and histories.

“To use an example from ‘Lord of the Rings,’ we might ask, ‘Who carries the ring,’ ‘Where did they go to get rid of the ring,’ ‘Who are the wizards,’ things like that,” Ernst-Meyer said. “And the type of questions usually depend on the story. Like if a book has a strong element of place, you would do more things with that, like Hogwarts in the ‘Harry Potter’ series. And if it’s, say, a murder mystery, we would ask more questions about plot, like who killed who.”

A coin toss will determine turn order.

Amy Beem, another librarian running the event, said she thinks it could become a recurring event at the library.

“I’m hoping it will be very memorable for the kids, and special, because they’ve rounded up their friends to read with them — to discuss the books, study and critique them — and then they get to have fun competing,” Beem said. “I think it will be a way to socialize with old friends and get to know new friends joining their group. They might discover common interests.”

“It’s like a competitive book club,” added Ernst-Meyer. “Everyone gets into the

book. They learn things about each story, they share it, and then they compete to see who knows more. When you have contests like this in a school, there’s an element of ‘you must do this,’ but since they’re choosing to do this, it’s more enjoyable. It’s just fun. Book clubs, by their very nature, are fun, and when you get to compete, it’s even more fun.”

Participants will receive medals for competing, and the winners will receive special bookends inscribed with the names of their team members. Participants will also receive free gift books, as will kids in the audience watching the event. The books will be brand new, funded in part by a grant from the group Reading Is Fundamental.

“We’re just very excited to be able to do this,” Beem said.

Participants can sign up at the library.

There is also a sale currently taking place there, which started Sept. 5 and will continue through Sept. 9. Hosted by the Friends of the Hazel Park Library, the sale is one of two major fundraisers that help pay for materials and programs each year.

The hours are noon to 8 p.m. Sept. 6 and Sept. 7, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 8, and noon to 4 p.m. Sept. 9. Saturday is “Bag Day,” where you can fill a bag with items for just $5. There will be more than 1,000 gently used items available, including books, magazines, audiobooks, CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes and puzzles.

“The sale really helps with money for programming,” Beem said. “Like with the summer reading program, our Friends group was kind enough to pay for all of the performers that Randy and I had arranged. It also pays for the books we get for that program, and the prizes.”

“It’s not only for programs and materials, but in the past when the library needed money to pay for repairs, the Friends stood up for us then, too,” said Ernst-Meyer.

“Without them, we wouldn’t be able to do half the things that we do. They are a very generous and dedicated group. Between them and our loving Hazel Park community, this library stays strong.”

TRAIL TUNES 2023 WILL FEATURE LIVE COMPETITION, BEER TENT FESTIVAL WILL TAKE PLACE AT CIVIC CENTER PARK SEPT. 9

BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com

MADISON HEIGHTS — At this year’s Trail Tunes, more than a dozen bands will line the loop at Civic Center Park. Attendees will vote for their favorites, and two finalists will play special sets at the end of the night. Whoever receives the loudest cheers will be crowned champion of the festival’s first-ever Battle of the Bands.

Trail Tunes will be held Saturday, Sept. 9, starting at 3 p.m. and ending sometime after dark. Organized by the Madison Heights Arts Board, the outdoor music festival is one of the most popular events at Civic Center Park, located at 360 W. 13 Mile Road.

“We started Trail Tunes in 2020, during COVID when everything was shut down, and I think it has really surpassed our expectations,” said Steve Dombroski, chairman of the Arts Board.

“For the newer bands, especially, we’re providing them a built-in crowd, and for those in attendance, they can see bands they maybe haven’t seen before. It’s a really great service that we provide these artists and the community. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”

Admission is free, as always, but guests are encouraged to support their favorite musicians by tipping or buying merchandise.

Attendees can follow the path and stop at whichever acts catch their ear, pitching a folding chair or laying down a picnic blanket to relax on the grass.

One new feature is a beer tent, set up by the Arts Board and the Madison Heights/Hazel Park Chamber of Commerce, with proceeds benefiting both. In the case of the Arts Board, the money made at the beer tent will help pay for next year’s festival, which includes the rates paid to the artists. In addition, several food trucks will have plenty of grub to go with the drinks.

There will be 13 bands, ranging in genre from acoustic and rock to funk and jazz. The lineup includes returning acts such as ABI, The Aspersions, Charles Caballero, Colin Lazorka (of Colin and the Cougars), Gwenyth Hayes, Leisure Machine, Midnight Proof, Scott Wrona Quartet, Paul Parente Jazz Connection, Peter Gee the Black Daisy, Phoebe Holmes (of the Keynote Sisters), and Zosette & The Groove. The new addition this year is Kayfabe: The Ppls Band.

Each attendee gets to cast a vote for their favorite and can purchase extra votes. There will also be votes cast by judges on a panel comprising Arts Board members, but the public vote will be weighted more heavily.

The votes determine the two bands that will compete in the Battle of the Bands, which will take place near the mural on the Jaycee shelter building at the foot of the sled hill by Fire Station No. 1. After each finalist plays, the crowd will cheer for their favorite, which will determine the champion. First place will receive $1,000, while second place will receive $500.

Mark Bliss, the mayor pro tem of Madison Heights, helped conceive Trail Tunes and serves on its steering committee. This year’s event is the fourth to date.

“I’m a big fan of live music. During the pandemic, our cochair Vita Palazzolo and I were lamenting how terrible (COVID) was, not only for folks like us who wanted to experience live music, but also for the bands who had no place to perform. Many of those musicians live in Madison Heights, so we wanted to put together something that would allow them to play in a safe way,” Bliss said.

“That very first socially distanced music festival we did in 2020 really threaded the needle with every guideline from the state, and people have been coming back ever since, because the heart of the festival is that love and desire to continue live music,” he said. “And that purity, too, is evident by the fact we don’t have giant stages. These performers are playing right off the trail, to people sitting on blankets and folding chairs right across from them. There are no barriers; you can walk from one to another, tip them and directly impact a local musician. And because of how diverse it is, there is something for everyone, from jazz to a Top 40 band to an acoustic singer, and more.”

The mayor pro tem thanked everyone who helps make the event possible each year.

“I’m incredibly grateful for all the local bands, and their interest and willingness to be a part of this festival, and to promote it, and even help us plan it. I’m also very appreciative of our local businesses who jumped in, enabling us to put it on,” Bliss said. “But most importantly, I am grateful to the volunteers on our planning committee, who put in hours working tirelessly to bring this free festival to our residents. As organizers, we’re so proud that the musicians keep coming back. It tells us that we’re doing something right.”

and “Air” statue scenes, the first two boulders in the War in Words, and the installation of “Joe” on the war front portion of the “Land” scene.

President of the WWII Legacy Memorial John Maten said that if he could summarize the installation in one word, it would be “connection.”

“How does this memorial help us do that? The statue of a soldier reading a letter from home in the memorial exemplifies this in many ways. Those letters were the instruments that allowed the soldiers and the family to stay connected as best they could,” he said. He also pointed out a quote on the statue from Cpl. Aarol W. “Bud” Irish, of Hemlock, that in part reads, “I can’t even start to explain how much the letter means over here. Just keep the letters coming and I’ll do the rest.”

Future work planned for the memorial includes a goal to raise $300,000 to build the Wall of Stars, which would honor the 15,458 Michigan lives lost during World War II. Maten noted the statue of a soldier reading a letter was modeled after the father of the sculptor, Larry Halbert, and that there are plans to make another scene a ways from the statue that would represent the parents of that soldier.

“The reason we put it (away from the statue) is to represent the distance between the homefront and the war front, and that continuous connection that they had by way of their letters,” he said. “Another connection it makes is across the generations. As we lay down these paver bricks, we read the stories of the greatest generation. As we watch people find the bricks of loved ones, we see the emotions well and a memory come to life. You don’t even have to know the person to feel a connection to them.”

Albers from page 1A

I love the space of suburbs like Troy, where I lived before, I can’t imagine what would’ve happened if the fire station wasn’t as close by.”

The incident occurred July 16 at the Albers’ home on Elza Avenue, west of John R Road and north of Eight Mile Road. A storm had rolled through town a few days prior, littering the yard with debris from the two massive trees nearby. One piece was a branch that weighed about 200 pounds and measured 22 feet long. It had fallen on top of the one-story house.

Melissa, a certified medical assistant, had just married Micah on July 4. Both were so busy with work that they hadn’t found time to plan their honeymoon, and the storm cleanup wasn’t helping.

The Albers thought they could safely roll the branch off the side of the house. Melissa was in the yard when she gave the go-ahead to her husband on the roof. But when Micah pushed it, one of the smaller branches snagged something. Rather than falling cleanly off the side, it slid down the roof — and into Melissa.

She managed to leap out of the way, but it still struck her, piercing her chest and narrowly missing her heart and lungs.

“I just went into complete shock,” Melissa recalled. “I wasn’t even bleeding at first.

I got the wind knocked out of me. I looked down and saw a huge hole in my chest, and because I work in the medical field, I know you have to hurry and press it as hard as you can, no matter how much it hurts. So I did, and the blood didn’t start pouring out until right before I heard the sirens.”

Melissa said that she and Micah were amazed by how quickly help arrived.

“My husband was talking on the phone with 911, and I don’t think it was even 30 seconds before we heard the fire sirens coming our way,” she said. “The paramedics were at our home within two minutes.”

Melissa also has a son, Tristan, 23.

Tristan’s biological father died when he was just 12.

“Thank God he was at work when (the tree branch) hit me, because he would’ve freaked out,” Melissa said.

She recalled one of the paramedics, Benjamin Moe, who was with her in the back of the ambulance as they raced to Beaumont Hospital in Royal Oak. The other paramedic on the scene was Daniel Dery.

“If it wasn’t for (Moe) keeping me calm, I would have freaked out and bled faster. He helped me relax. He even had me laughing,” Melissa said. “As much as I do in the medical field, I could never be a paramedic, because

I don’t think I’d be able to keep as calm as they were. I have a very deep appreciation for them now — paramedics, ER doctors, trauma nurses.”

Richard Story, the chief of the Hazel Park Fire Department, said he is so proud of his team.

“Accidents happen. We’re so glad Melissa is OK, and that we were there in her time of need, and that she wasn’t hurt more,” Story said. “(Moe and Dery) are younger members of our department. I’m glad to see they’re keeping their composure. We need to be on our best day when people are having their worst day. We show up and make things better, keep people calm, patch them up and give them a nice ride to the hospital. They did exactly what we need to do.”

While Melissa was discharged from the hospital the following day, she will still require surgery on her left shoulder, and followup to treat other issues. She said she also suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

Her husband, Micah, said all he remembers is trying to make himself useful in the moment.

“I was just focused on helping her,” Micah said of his wife. “I feel relieved now. It’s still stressful, though, because it’s going to take a long time (to recover).”

The tree incident wasn’t Melissa’s first close call in life. Twenty years ago, she nearly

died on an operating room table. Five years later, she was the passenger in a car crash on Interstate 75.

Yet despite those incidents, and the latest with the tree, she still has her sense of humor.

“I will be able to recover from this. I always do,” Melissa said. “I’m like a cat — I’m on my fifth life now. And that’s great. I still have four more lives, so I’m good to go!”

FIREPLACE SAFETY HEATS UP FOR FALL

BY MARY BETH ALMOND

malmond@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Autumn’s cool, crisp air is around the corner, which means many homeowners will soon want to cozy up by their fireplaces.

But before you decide to spark a fire, local fire experts have a few safety tips to keep in mind.

Fireplaces are often neglected when it comes to maintenance, so experts say it’s important to have a licensed chimney specialist inspect your fireplace each year.

“You always want to make sure that your chimney is inspected — and cleaned, if necessary — by a qualified professional,” said Susan McKelvey, communications manager for the National Fire Protection Association. “Obviously, it’s best if that is done before the start of the heating season.”

Inspections can assure there are no cracks or dislodged bricks that need to be repaired, and they can check for animal nests or other blockages that could prevent smoke from escaping.

Cleanings will help get rid of built-up soot and creosote — a tarlike substance that’s a byproduct of wood fires — that can spark a dangerous chimney fire.

Homeowners with gas-powered fireplaces should also hire a professional to check for hazards, such as leaks in the gas line.

Once you’re given the green light to use your fireplace, make sure you know how to open the flue, so smoke is drawn out of the house and clean air is drawn in. Cracking a window can also help with air quality.

Experts say to burn nothing in the fireplace except dry firewood or Chimney Safety Institute of America-accepted manufactured logs and to clean out all ash from previous fires before lighting a new one.

“You don’t want to burn other things, like trash, wrapping paper or newspaper because the byproduct of those burning materials can cause a buildup in the lining of your chimney, so you really just want to make sure that you put wood in your fireplace that’s designed for being burned,” McKelvey said.

“And always remember not to overload your fireplace

with wood,” Rochester Fire Chief John Cieslik added. “We don’t want someone to put so much wood in the fireplace that it would fall out, so you also need to make sure there are screens in the fireplace to keep sparks from flying.

Although the mesmerizing glow of the flames can be enticing, children and pets should always be at least 3 feet away from the fireplace. A safety screen should be installed to reduce the risk of burns, and the area around the fireplace should be clear of anything that’s potentially flammable — including drapes, blankets, baskets, books and other decorative items.

“You want to make sure the area is clear of anything that can burn,” McKelvey explained.

Once you’ve gotten your fire roaring, remember to never leave it unattended and also make sure it’s completely out before going to bed or leaving the house.

“And it’s always a good time to check your fire extinguisher in your house to make sure it’s ready in the event that you would need it,” Cieslik said.

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission estimates that fireplaces and chimneys are involved in an average of 15,800 fires per year, resulting in an average of 20 deaths and 50 injuries annually from 2017 to 2019.

Fire officials say dangerous home blazes can be prevented with a simple tool — a fire alarm.

“We always want people to test their smoke alarms and

remember to replace their batteries,” Cieslik said.

Three out of every five home fire deaths result from fires in homes with no smoke alarms, according to the National Fire Protection Association. So it’s very important that you have smoke alarms — with the label of a reputable testing agency, like Underwriters Laboratories — in every bedroom and in the common areas on each floor of your home. All smoke alarms should be replaced every 10 years or sooner if they don’t respond properly when tested. When smoke alarms fail to operate, it is usually because batteries are missing, disconnected or dead.

Anything that burns fuel, such as a gas fireplace, can potentially become a source of carbon monoxide — an invisible, odorless gas that can kill — so fire officials say homeowners should also make sure to have CO detectors in their homes.

CO alarms should be installed in a central location outside each bedroom and on every level of the home. Just like smoke alarms, homeowners are advised to change the batteries, test and interconnect their carbon monoxide detectors, if possible, and make sure the vents for their gas appliances — like the fireplace, dryer, stove and furnace — are free and clear of snow or debris.

Cieslik also encourages the public to conduct a fire inspection within the home this fall, checking and replacing the batteries in their smoke detectors, going over the locations where they have multiple electrical devices plugged in and creating or updating the family’s emergency evacuation plan so everyone knows what to do in the event of a fire.

He suggests sleeping with bedroom doors closed, which serves as a barrier from smoke and fire, and having a family meeting place to help family members, and firefighters, account for those who are safe and those who might need rescuing.

“This is always a great time to take a look at your family’s evacuation plan so the whole family knows how to get out of the house, should there be an emergency, and to have your meeting point established, so that everyone heads to the same meeting point where they can be accounted for,” said Cieslik.

Road. She anticipates features such as the addition of play equipment compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. “The way I look at Madison Heights is it’s a growing city, so we need multigenerational parks that represent the entire family, and our commissioner, Gary McGillivray, he went back (to the county) and told them what we need at Ambassador Park,” Aaron said.

According to Donna Folland, the supervisor for planning and resource development at the Oakland County Parks, one feature of the revamped Ambassador Park will be the “Gary McGillivray Play Garden,” where the new play structures will be located. Other elements will be added throughout 2024 and 2025.

“The concept for the park envisions both active and quiet areas throughout a network of trails, play features, pollinator gardens and trees,” Folland said via email.

“Enjoyment of the park and play by multiple generations is central to this vision.”

The Ambassador Park project is part of the county’s Healthy Communities Park and Outdoor Recreation Investment Plan, funded by the county’s share of state and federal dollars through the American Rescue Plan.

Ambassador Park will be incorporated into the Red Oaks Park system. The county is planning to invest at least $1 million in improvements there, taking feedback from city staff and residents.

One example of the county incorporating a former city property is the nature center at 30300 Hales St. in Suarez Friendship Woods, across from the Red Oaks Waterpark on 13 Mile Road west of Dequindre Road. The county entered into a lease agreement with the city to operate the rebranded Red Oaks Nature Center in 2012.

That deal, brokered by McGillivray, helped rescue the facility during the Great Recession when the city of Madison Heights didn’t have the funds to continue operations there. In the time since, Oakland County Parks has fully staffed the nature center and kept it open to the public with a complete schedule of programs.

The trail network there has also been improved with new features such as the Storybook Trail, and the county continues to take care of the woodland ecosystem, managing invasive species and protecting native wildlife.

Meanwhile, at the nearby Red Oaks Waterpark, the popular summertime destination recently received a new children’s splash pad, dubbed SplashTown, featuring 52 interactive water features.

There is also a 0.38-mile connector trail between 13 Mile and Dequindre roads that connects the waterpark with the adjacent Red Oaks Dog Park and the Red Oaks Nature Center. The county also counts the Red Oaks Golf Course among its Madison Heights offerings.

The basketball court, funded by the 2023 community grant, is just the latest example of the county’s longstanding partnership with the city. Folland said that municipalities were able to apply in March, seeking up to $100,000 apiece. The county received 30 applications, requesting a combined total of nearly $2 million.

It then fell to a team at the county to consider each application based on factors such as community need, maintenance costs and accessibility to people of all abilities.

Another important criterion the county evaluated was how each project would incorporate the Oakland County Parks’ “Core Values” of diversity, equity and inclusion; environmental sustainability and natural resources stewardship; and health and wellness.

Sean Fleming, a member of the Madison Heights City Council, said his goal for

the city’s parks is to make the parks fully accessible to people of all ability levels.

He said this should include hard surfaces around play structures that can safely absorb falls without the use of wood chips that make it difficult for users in wheelchairs to access.

He said he also appreciates the county’s continued support for the nature center, in particular.

“To me, it’s a great place to take time to exercise and de-stress,” Fleming said. “With there being so much stress and anxiety from everything going on in the world today, the nature center is the perfect place to breathe some fresh air and work on your mental health.”

Riding along the open road

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Glenn Harris was 19 years old when he took his first-ever motorcycle ride on a 1975 Suzuki T500 Titan.

Harris lived in Seattle at the time and “had to learn very quickly how to ride safely in rain and how to spot black ice on the road.”

Harris, 64, is still going full throttle. Over the years, he’s owned 10 different motorcycles, logging approximately 150,000 miles in total.

“The allure of motorcycles is you’re not just a passive observer,” said Harris, who was born in Los Angeles and now resides in Birmingham. “In a car, it’s like you’re looking through a TV screen. Being on a motorcycle, you’re in the show. There’s no cage around you. The sights, the smells, everything is just there.

“You’re closer to the ground than in the car,” said Harris, who has been married to his wife Alexandra since 1990 and has three children, three grandchildren and one grandchild on the way. “You feel like you are part of the environment. It’s magical. It’s a wonderful, wonderful experience.”

One of his favorite models was the 1998 Honda Shadow American Classic Edition he purchased in the summer of 2020 from a couple who lived in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He recently sold the jade pearl green and pearl ivory colored Honda and has nothing but good memories of the bike he called “Beachcomber.”

“I nicknamed it ‘Beachcomber’ because it’s got the color of the sand and the surf. They only made about 400 of these in this color. It’s really rare to see these,” the experienced rider said. “It looked very vintage. In a sea of black bikes, it always stood out.”

Harris purchased the motorcycle for $3,000, although the owner was asking $3,500.

But when he saw Harris’ enthusiasm for the ’98 Honda, a deal was made. Harris bought a one-way airplane ticket to Baton Rouge to officially purchase the bike. After having dinner with the couple he bought the bike from, he stayed the night in a hotel and departed for home at 6:30 a.m. the next day.

The mileage when he left Baton Rouge was 15,785; when he returned to Birmingham, it was 17,104. Harris made the most of his 1,319-mile journey through eight states, including Georgia, and was prepared with gloves, a helmet and a rain suit.

“I was going through Alabama, and there was a huge electrical storm,” he said. “I had some interesting weather in Tennessee.”

At one point while still in Tennessee, Harris pulled off the highway and parked his new ride under a freeway overpass.

“It was kind of in a rural area. It was nice to just relax for a little bit,” he said. “Riding

Helping celebrate the dedication were two veterans of World War II, Art Fishman and Frances Masters.

Fishman, a Navy veteran, remembered standing in the park 10 years ago when he was first told about the plans to create a memorial. He said he’s been able to see the national World War II Memorial in Washington, D.C., and that his next goal was to live long enough to see this memorial.

“As you walk through these bricks, you’re walking with the Greatest Generation,” he said.

Masters was a Rosie the Riveter at the Willow Run bomber plant, which she joined right after high school. Her two brothers and future husband also served in the war. She noted that her husband served in Iwo Jima and her oldest brother was in the Battle of the Bulge, though he sadly didn’t come back

in Tennessee was absolutely gorgeous. Same thing for Kentucky. Really, all of it was just beautiful, because you’re riding in the South.

It’s so green.”

While en route, Harris stopped about every hour to fill up on gas.

“It’s an opportunity to see things,” he said. “The people you meet at restaurants and gas stations are very friendly.”

One place he visited was the Hellfighters International Christian Ministries in Laurel, Mississippi. Harris, who has served for 26 years as associate rabbi at Congregation Shema Yisrael in Bloomfield Hills, felt very welcome at the Christian Ministries.

“They all came out, made a circle and just prayed for me for a safe ride home,” said Harris, also a member of the Lion of Judah Motorcycle Ministries Michigan Chapter.

“They gave me a big hug before I went on my way.”

On the last part of his stretch, Harris rode from Indiana to Michigan on a twolane road.

“It’s my favorite kind of riding because you’re making progress but you don’t feel like you have to be flying,” he said. “As you’re going from Indiana to Michigan, it’s a wideopen country. You’re looking at farmland.

There are no tall buildings. You can see out in front of you for miles.”

It took him three days to get home.

“I was one tired puppy,” he said.

home.

“I did my job riveting airplanes. … I lost about 10 pounds and gained 20 of muscle,” she said. “I did that throughout the war and I would do it again. I have no regrets.”

Mark Reed, a member of both the Marines and Navy who served in Desert Storm, was taking in the memorial and Walk of Honor. He said the memorial was “long overdue.”

“I’m particularly interested in seeing that there are a lot of different things represented here,” he said. “It’s not simply the Army, Navy, Marines, whatever, but there’s a lot of civic organizations that are represented here as well, and a lot of civilian folks that contributed to the war effort in World War II as well — you know, the Rosie the Riveters and the people that worked in the automotive industry. You’ll see bricks commemorating them too. So it’s a good, long overdue memorial.”

Call Staff Writer Mike Koury at (586) 498-1077.

In the three years Harris owned “Beachcomber,” he logged 6,740 miles. He also added on several items including Cobra swept driver floorboards and a Chilhowee tank bra and fender bib. He had a lot of fun with the ’98 Honda. For two years in a row, he took it to the annual Mackinaw City Motorcycle Rally.

“One of the things I like to do is motorcycle camping,” he said. “I stayed right along the water. I’d look at the sunset along the Straits of Mackinac.”

Harris also received a lot of thumbs-up from people when riding.

“I got so many compliments on it,” he said. “There’s a real camaraderie between bikers.”

The avid rider takes motorcycling very seriously. He enrolls in training classes every two to three years.

Harris recently sold the bike to new friends Mickey and Peggy Benson, of Indiana, who now have matching Honda Shadows of the same jade pearl green and pearl ivory color.

Although Harris sold the Honda, he is still riding. He has a 2006 Yamaha Stratoliner motorcycle. He also has a 2001 Ford Mustang convertible.

“The Yamaha is a bigger bike. I couldn’t keep both so I had to let one go. It was so hard because I loved that bike,” said Harris, who keeps in touch with Peggy Benson on Facebook, which gives him a chance to stay tuned to what he calls “The Ongoing Saga of Beachcomber.”

west of John R. Station No. 2 was the only building located off campus.

Together, the work at the station and plaza represents the largest capital improvement project in the history of Madison Heights. By itself, the fire station cost $2.8 million to renovate. Proposal MH — a millage rate increase that voters narrowly approved in 2019 — helped fund the project, as did federal monies from the American Rescue Plan.

“This renovation solidifies the city’s commitment to the safety of all those that live, work or visit Madison Heights,” said Mayor Roslyn Grafstein, during a dedication speech in front of the garage. “Because without strong public safety services, nothing else really matters.”

Speaking in an office after the event, Fire Chief Greg Lelito explained that the original plan was to demolish the station and construct a new two-story building with a pull-through drive. Those talks began in 2021. However, the plan was too pricey, with costs skyrocketing due to inflation.

Instead, the city opted for a partial tear down and renovation. The station closed last fall and reopened in July. At press time, minor cosmetic fixes were still being applied.

The chief said that the original Station No. 2 was uncomfortably close to traffic.

“With the old design, when we pulled out of base, our front bumper was basically on John R, so we had no room to check the truck. The apparatus came right out into the walkway. When we responded to emergency calls, there were several occasions where residents were riding by, and we had close calls with the truck coming out,” Lelito said.

“With the new design, we were able to push the station all the way back to the alley. We have a lot more space. We can pull the apparatus all the way out, and we’re not right on the road,” he said. “The only disad-

vantage is we no longer have a pull-through fire station, so the trucks have to back in.

But it doesn’t affect our response times — it’s just a minor adjustment for us. It’s something that many fire stations already deal with across the country.”

In 2025, one of the vehicles exiting the station will be a new ladder truck. The City Council approved its purchase for $1.3 million in June. Also called a quint, the truck has the same features as a fire engine, but with the addition of a 75-foot-tall ladder for reaching high places and attacking fires from different angles.

The city currently has a ladder truck at Station No. 1, located at Civic Center Plaza.

That truck is almost 25 years old. When the new truck arrives, the city will fully staff it at Station No. 2. The new truck will always be deployed first, with the original truck serving as backup, reducing wear and tear on the old truck and extending its life.

The renovated station also features private showers and living quarters.

“The original fire station was not built for female firefighters. It was built for male firefighters. But times have changed, and we are hiring women. The new station accommodates both genders,” Lelito said. “Each bathroom has its own shower. Dorm rooms are all private. The only common space is the locker room. If our firefighters need to change, they can get their clothing from their locker and return to their private room and change there.”

The station also has a new gym. Two years ago, the city received a $100,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency, which paid for new workout equipment at both stations. With the renovations at Station No. 2, there’s more room to accommodate them.

“I am so pleased,” Lelito concluded.

“Picture when you’re building a house.

There’s a lot of tedious stuff — a lot of decision making. Every single week, from the day we started to today, we met with our general contractor and architect. It was a lot of work, but the end product is incredible,

and I am just so proud — proud of our firefighters, and our residents. We can all take pride in this facility.”

Prior to the dedication, Sean Fleming and Quinn Wright, both members of the City Council, were touring the garage. They said the project will have an impact.

“With the new workout facility, the firefighters can stay healthier,” Fleming said.

“It’s also much safer now, how the station approaches the street. Just great improvements all around.”

“I was very proud to support this initiative,” Wright added. “I think the residents are going to see an immediate benefit. The new layout will allow the officers to have a faster response time. There are better facilities for both our fire men and fire women, which I think is great for them, and will improve the service they provide. Folks on

both ends of town will benefit from this.”

Toya Aaron, another member of the council, was also at the event.

“When it was first brought to City Council, many people were apprehensive about the amount of work that would have to be done. At first, all you have is the blueprint. But I believe that everything has come together so well,” Aaron said.

“It’s wonderful, the restrooms for both men and women. And the kitchen is just phenomenal — I even suggested cooking them Thanksgiving dinner, I love the kitchen so much. And then there’s the workout equipment, and more room for them all to stretch out and relax — they’re no longer stacked on top of one another,” she said.

“Seeing the joy on the firefighters’ faces, knowing they have a new residency they can call home, it’s just wonderful.”
