FROM THE DESK OF THE MAYOR

Actions of council member clouds city’s future My fellow Riverview residents, we hope you had a Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Year. With some luck hopefully the end of the Covid epidemic is right around the corner.

With a new year comes renewed outlook on where we’ve been and where we plan to go.

For now, this is where we are. This is very difficult for me to write, but I’ve promised myself to always be open and honest with you. andrew For the city of Riverview a peek into swift the future is clouded at best.

With the behavior of one of our newly elected council persons, moving forward will be problematic.

Without getting into the details here, I suggest you educate yourself on the details and decide for yourself what course of action should be taken.

In my nearly 25 years of politics, Riverview has never had a situation like this come up before. But it does beg the question, “Who is qualified to run for council?”

The Charter of The City of Riverview states in part, (a) No person shall hold any elective or appointive office of the city, except that of city health officer,

city attorney, city engineer and city manager, unless he was a resident of the city, or of territory annexed to the city, or both, for at least one year immediately prior to, and was a registered elector for one year immediately prior to, the last day for filing petitions for such office or prior to the time of his appointment to fill a vacancy. And (b) No person shall be eligible for any elective city office who is in default to the city by not being current on their water and tax bills as an additional qualification for holding elective city office.

Because of the current limited qualifications to be eligible for office, council is limited in what action it can take against any of its members.

The only option the council can take is to take action of censorship. Censure is defined as a formal and public condemnation of an individual’s transgressions. It is stronger than a simple rebuke, but not as strong as expulsion.

Recipients of the censure are usually required to give up any committee assignment, but they are not removed from office.

At this point there are only two options available, resignation or recall.

In our current situation, recall is the most likely.

The electorate of our city put the council person there, and they are the ones who can remove that council person.

As suggested recently by a resident, council should consider an amendment to the city charter to set some basic qualifications for someone who will be overseeing total assets of $53 million.

Any changes to our charter would require a vote of the people.

I’ve received some feedback on one of the recommended changes: Put a one year lookback on indebtedness to the city. Some other qualifications may be the person must not have been accused of misappropriation of public funds or convicted of a felony that involves moral turpitude or have filed bankruptcy.

On a much more positive note, Riverview continues to attract more new businesses. Recently we’ve had Wild Wild West Tobacco open up in the Riverview Plaza. Achieve Health has remodeled and expanded the old Stray Cats bar and will host their grand opening on Wednesday, Jan. 19.

We still look forward to the opening of Safe Spot Storage on Sibley Road and Savvy Sliders in the old Chase Bank building on Fort Street.

Criminal case against councilman Robbins moves forward RPD urges citizens Newly-elected Riverview Councilman David Robbins waived his preliminary examination on Jan. 6 and had his criminal case for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident forwarded to Wayne County Circuit Court in Detroit.

His next assigned court date is Jan. 20 According to the Riverview Police Department’s request for a warrant, this is Robbins’ third Robbins operating while intoxicated offense.

Robbins was elected to the Riverview City Council on Nov. 2, 2021. He secured 18 percent of the city vote and beat incumbent councilman James Trombley by six votes.

According to police, after winning, Robbins spent the night drinking at a Riverview bar, Slip Mahoney’s on Fort Street.

Police said after leaving the bar, Robbins drove his Ford Fusion at a high rate of speed and struck a pine tree in the Fort Street median. Police said two people walked to Robbins’ car and cleared debris from the road. The car wound up in the parking lot of DaVita Dialysis, which is next door to the bar in which Robbins had been drinking.

Interviewed by police later in the morning, Robbins said he said he walked across the street to Zorba’s Coney Island and that he believed his car was still in the parking lot at Slip Mahoney’s.

According to a police report, video from Zorba’s Coney Island shows Robbins leaving the bar parking lot in his vehicle. At 1:38 a.m. the crash occurred.

“Defendant Robbins’ vehicle veers hard off northbound Fort Street and sparks fly,” police state in a report detailing their investigation. “The vehicle then rolls into the Davita Dialysis parking lot.”

Earlier in the night, before discovering Robbins’ damaged car, police had an interaction with the new councilman in the parking lot of Zorba’s which is across the street from Slip Mahoney’s and DaVita Dialysis.

At Zorba’s, Robbins had a loud altercation with a man.

Robbins and the man he was arguing with were separated by police and interviewed individually. Robbins repeatedly stated that a black man tried to stab him. However, both men told police the argument never turned physical.

In both interviews with police Robbins consistently referred to the man he argued with by his race and said things like “This riff-raff comes into our city ... They have no business being here.”

The altercation with the man has no bearing on the criminal case against Robbins, but when police body cam video was made public, it caused an outcry among Riverview residents, many of whom have called for Robbins’ resignation.

Robbins has been asked to step down and each of the last two city council meetings, which he has refused to do. He has also not made any public comment about the incident.

RIVERVIEW SCHOOLS

Decorated hallways: A new RCHS tradition The student government at Riverview Community High School initiated a new tradition this year with the decorating of our hallways for the holidays.

Class advisers and officers and representatives from the freshman, sophomore, junior, and senior classes devoted their time on Saturday, Dec. 11 to beautifying the hallways of the high school.

Holiday tunes rang through the school while the students worked hard to bring a festive atmosphere, and a friendly competition ensued as to which class could “out-decorate” the others.

The judges, however, were so overwhelmed with each classes’ creativity, they decided that all the students at Riverview High were the real winners as they got to gaze upon this beauty for the last week of school before break.

Congratulations to the student government groups and their sponsors for coordinating these efforts and we all look forward to this tradition continuing.

An American tradition returns to Forest Elementary Stacy Gajewski K-5 STEAM teacher

As we settle into the 21/22 school year during the pandemic, there are a few things starting to normalize at Forest Elementary.

One of those is the return of safeties. Not only do we have 5th grade safeties working the crosswalks to keep staff, students, and families safe while entering and exiting the school, but we also have the return of flag safeties.

These students will be on a twomonth rotation to raise and lower the flag each day, rain or shine.

There is no better way to learn to honor the American flag than to recruit veterans or current members of the military to assist our students with this task. Our active or retired military volunteers will show the flag safeties the correct way to raise and lower the flag in a respectful fashion.

Doug Shaffer, grandfather to Griffin in first grade, is our first volunteer to

help with these duties. Mr. Shaffer was a sergeant in the Air Force and fought in the Vietnam War where he refueled ground aircraft.

When asked what it meant to him to show these students the proper way

to handle the flag, he said, “It is a privilege and an honor to encourage Forest Elementary to continue with the tradition of raising the flag each morning.”

Fifth-graders, Jacob and Giorgia,

At Memorial Elementary this holiday season, the school had elves from the North Pole visiting. And they found themselves in quite a bit of mischief!

Our students were thrilled to see the elves and their shenanigans.

jumped at the chance to be flag safeties, even during these cold winter months.

When asked what it meant to them to be able to raise the flag each day at Forest, Jacob answered, “I feel special. It is an opportunity for me to honor the flag and the United States of America.”

When Giorgia was asked what it meant to her to have an Air Force Veteran demonstrate how to properly handle the flag, she responded by saying, “It is nice to respect the flag properly and treat it right because it honors those who serve(d) our country.”

These are powerful words coming from fifth graders and words we should all live by.

We will continue to have military volunteers demonstrate how to raise and lower our flag with our flag safeties here at Forest for the rest of the school year. It’s an honorable way to bring our school and community together.

Memorial Elementary students remember the elderly

The holiday festivities were in full force at Memorial Elementary during the month of December.

With the support of Mrs. Seim-Barnes and Ms. Heise, the third-grade students created holiday pictures and cards for Riverview American House.

This was a wonderful opportunity for our students to give back and show their love for our community.

Thank you, Ms., Seim-Barnes and Ms. Heise!

Estate Planning 101 Which plan do you need?

Time to clear up the confusion about Estate Planning ... The following definitions lack legal precision, but makes it easier to get a clear picture of what may be needed in your case.

■ Will – letter of intent of where you want your personal property to go – or not go.

■ Living Will – Documents your wishes during your final days including final healthcare choices and possibly your burial wishes.

■ Trust – This is a “company” that you start, and you become the CEO, “Trustee” and “Settlor.” The company outlives you, but continues to manage your assets as if you were alive by the successor CEO – whom you designate.

■ Power of Attorney – Financial and Healthcare – you need both – the first so someone can pay your bills, the second, sometimes called a Patient Advocate, designates someone to make “hallway at the hospital” decisions to take the stress off the family.

■ Ladybird Deed – probably the best thing that has happened to owning a home. I love these deeds – you grant yourself a life estate – in your own property - but retain the power to sell or borrow against the property. If you do not sell before you pass, this “springs” the house out of your estate, and your heirs have instant ownership, subject to any mortgage or taxes owed or similar.

Again, this is just a general description of the more popular terms – no one choice is a “silver bullet” but depending on how your estate gets planned out you can expedite a clean and clear process for the assets you worked a lifetime to save.

Why wouldn’t you want to do that? Stop by or call and make an appointment and I’ll tell you what you’re going to need to do this right.

To my numerous former clients – thank you for allowing me to draft your estate plan!

Kiwanis coordinates big stuffed animal giveaway The Kiwanis of Riverview recently held an “After Christmas Stuffed Animal Giveaway” at the Riverview Community Center.

This project came about after Riverview Mayor Andrew Swift, a Kiwanis Director, received a call from Nicole Clark of the Woodhaven PetSmart.

Nicole, a member of the Economic Development and Brownfield Authority for the City of Riverview knew of Mayor Swift’s involvement with the civic group.

She informed the mayor that her store had an over abundance of stuffed animals that were used as a fundraiser and she needed to find a home for the incredibly cute stuffed animals.

Swift brought the idea to the Kiwanis and they overwhelmingly agreed to help find homes for these 12-inch tall objects of cuteness.

After the Kiwanis took delivery of nearly 700 stuffed animals Clark discovered another pallet of about 400 more. The Kiwanis picked up about 40 large bags containing 25 to 35 stuffed animals each.

The Kiwanis quickly developed a plan to package each stuffed animal into its own bag for easy distribution at a drive through event at the Riverview Community Center.

With an enormous task of packing nearly 1,200 stuffed animals into their own bags the Kiwanis recruited a regiment of volunteers. The nearly 25 volunteers worked for two hours to take the stuffed animals out of the large bag they were packed in, placed in its own bag, and returned to the large bag for distribution.

The “After Christmas Stuffed Animal Giveaway” was advertised on several Facebook pages to get the work out quickly.

To make the distribution as easy as possible for the recipients and the giveaway involved driving by the front of the Riverview Community Center and simply rolling down the driver’s side window. Each child and pet received two stuffed animals. Yes, even the pets received two as that was the original intent of the stuffed animal.

With the much appreciated help of the Riverview Police and Fire Departments and a handful of volunteers, there were about 400 stuffed animals passed out that day. That left about 800 cute little stuffed bundles of joy that needed a home.

The Kiwanis got to work finding homes for the rest.

Some of the recipients are the Riverview Fire Department, the Riverview Police Department, Riverview Veterans Memorial Library, ICON 10 (support children of incarcerated parents), Lincoln Behavioral Services (behavioral health services), Hampton Manor of Woodhaven, Rivergate Health Center in Riverview, Bellaire Senior Living of Riverview, Washington Elementary School in Wyandotte, and numerous animal shelters.

Mayor Swift said, “We want to thank all those who took time out of their busy holiday activities to help us out, especially the Riverview Police and Fire Departments for standing outside for two hours passing out the stuffed animals.”

Students earn pizza for their hard work The Riverview Goodfellows Canned Food Drive was an overwhelming success this year due to the efforts of the students and staff of the Riverview Community Schools.

For their effort, the class that collected the most canned goods at the elementary and middle schools received a “pizza party” courtesy of the Goodfellows.

Riverview Pizza Place worked with the Goodfellows to make sure that each class received enough hot pepperoni and cheese pizza to feed the whole class.

The Riverview Goodfellows provided the drinks and paper products to make it convenient for the teachers.

The winning classes this year were Mrs. Hammond’s class at Memorial Elementary, Ms. Osak’s class at Seitz Middle School, Mrs. Tomasek’s class at Huntington, Mr. Snyder’s and Mrs. Coleman’s classes at Forest Elementary.

Congratulations, students, and thank you.

Remembering those early Christmases and more So, the holidays are over and I hope you all had a nice Christmas and Santa Claus was good to you. Also, happy New Year.

Someone once asked me” Do you remember when you discovered there was no Santa Claus? I’m sure most of you do.

I was told by my best friend Jerry Stein.

I didn’t believe him at first, so I began to snoop GERALD around for what I thought were good places for PERRY Riverview my folks to hide some Register presents. And to my surprise, I found some football shoulder pads and a helmet and a sweatshirt with the words “Saint Pats High school. A school where my dad went when he was young.

Oh yeah, I was really surprised. But now what do I do with my newly found discovery?

I couldn’t tell my sister because she would blab to my parents. So I managed to keep it a secret until I opened my presents on Christmas Day. I’m surprised to this day that they didn’t know about my early discovery.

I was also asked “Do you remember your first Christmas Present?”

As hard as I try, I can’t remember much about Christmas until I was about 3 or 4, but a tricycle comes to mind.

We were living on Pennsylvania Road in Riverview. My sister and I would take turns riding that bike, it seemed like for hours.

The first big present I remember getting was a two-wheeled Deluxe Roll Fast Bike. It was a real beauty with a light on the front fender. It also had a passenger carrier in the back with a light in the rear. It also had a horn box with a horn and white wall tires. Man was it pretty!

I must confess that I always wanted a Schwinn-made bike.

I hope my parents didn’t see my disappointment.

I got over my disappointment real fast because my Roll Fast really was a beauty.

I’m sure you had some disappointments. Somehow we all get over it.

Some of things we all never forget.

I remember the day when our

neighbor came running over and exclaimed, “The war has ended.”

We rushed to the radio in the living room to listen to the president make the announcement. I was probably too young to realize the significance of this historic day, but I do remember our neighbor, Mr Stein, who came over to the house with his huge 10 gage shotgun as soon as he got home from work.

He and my Dad went out in the front yard where Mr. Stein loaded it and gave it to my Dad. Now, my Dad was never a gun enthusiast, so he didn’t realize how powerful this 10 gage shot gun was and what a kick it had.

You can guess what happened. My Dad fired the gun and immediately fell back on his rear end. Oh man, the things we remember when we were kids.

I remember when my dad was in the Riverview Volunteer Fire Department The whole Department was going to participate in a controlled burn on this old dance hall clubhouse on Bridge Road.

Now the Chief, Ed Reno had talked to the owner of the gas station across the street from the entrance to Bridge road and told the owner what was going on. As soon as he saw smoke he was to call it into the fire station.

Chief Reno and all the firemen got into position and the fire was ignited.

But it seems the gas station owner had gotten busy and did not see the smoke and by the time he did the whole building was in flames and it was too late for any fire suppression practice.

Needless to say, Reno hurried over to the gas station to chew the owner out.

There was one other funny thing that happened to my Dad as a volunteer fireman.

He was at a house fire and he went around the back of the house. It was dark and he couldn’t see too well, when all of a sudden he found himself standing in an abandoned hole that used to be an outhouse hold.

He was knee deep in the waste and called out for help. Officer Ben Massarant came to his rescue. Ben couldn’t stop laughing and the more he laughed the madder my dad got.

They sprayed him off with the firehose and then my Dad started laughing with them.

Try these three tips help prevent back pain

We hope your recent holiday season was a time filled with joy, family, and relaxation for all - and definitely not back pain.

Sometimes, however, life gets in the way!

To help reduce back pain this month, follow these helpful tips.

Stay hydrated. With all of the errands this time of year can bring, you’re likely moving around a bit more than usual. Hydration is key for a healthy back as the fluid-filled sacs in your spine need water to stay full.

Keep moving. If you’re traveling, remember to incorporate movement into your day. This may mean taking stops every hour or so if you’re driving to stretch and move your limbs. If you’re flying in a plane, get up and walk the aisles.

Schedule a visit with us. We’ll make sure your spine is well-aligned and ready to handle everything this season has to throw at you.

With a new year upon us, we want to reflect on the past year and share our hopes for your health in 2022.

May you find the motivation you’ve been missing, the courage to tackle your challenges, and the opportunities you’ve been seeking.

Though we’ve said it before, we can’t seem to say it enough: Thank you for choosing our practice and

allowing us to be a part of your life and health. We hope to serve you for many years to come as we work together to achieve your goals in health.

Why seniors should see a chiropractor Your golden years should be among the best of your life. In retirement, our hope for patients is that you’re able to see the world, enjoy your family, and do all of the things you love. Most of all, we want you to be able to do these things with ease and free from pain.

Current patients love seeing us for a few popular reasons: Pain relief. It’s no secret that with age comes a loss of bone density.

Without a properly aligned spine, it’s easy for extra pressure on your vertebrae to cause problems.

This can lead to things like pain, fractures, and muscle issues.

Balance and coordination.

Falls are among the most common reasons elderly patients seek medical attention. Adjustments help to keep the receptors in our spine functioning without disturbance.

Improved range of motion. The easier you can move, the better you can enjoy life!

CULINARY CAPERS The holidays are over, but the partying will resume when football fans EVELYN gather in front of the TV CAIRNS to root for their favorite Riverview teams in the NFL playoffs, Register which start Jan.15, and the Super Bowl on Feb.13. If you plan to host a group of gridiron enthusiasts, consider some of the following timetested Culinary Capers noshes to accompany their libations: Oven-Fried Dill Pickles, Philly Cheesesteak Sloppy Joes, Addictive Zucchini Parmesan Bites, and No-Brainer Chili Sauce/ Grape Jelly Meatballs. Forget about dips with chips and crackers, because dips are no-no’s during the pandemic. I served the pickles during the Christmas holidays, and they were a hit.

Philly Cheesesteaks should be made with shaved beef on hoagie rolls, but because both were unavailable, I substituted ground beef on sausage buns. The Zucchini Parmesan Bites, from the Betty Crocker Bisquick Cookbook, are amazingly easy to make, but not as easy as the three-ingredient No-Brainer Meatballs!

OVEN-FRIED DILL PICKLES 24-ounce jar kosher dill pickle spears ½ cup all-purpose flour 2 large eggs ½ cup panko bread crumbs ½ cup yellow corn meal 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese ¼ to ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste ¼ teaspoon black pepper Preheat oven to 450 degrees. Spray a baking sheet with non-stick spray.

Drain pickles well and place on a paper-towel-covered counter, then wrap each spear in a piece of paper towel and squeeze to further extract moisture.

Add the flour to a shallow bowl. In another bowl, add eggs and whisk. In a third bowl, combine panko bread crumbs, cornmeal, cheese and peppers.

Dip the pickles in flour, then eggs, then crumbs, coating evenly and pressing to adhere crumbs. Place on a baking sheet and spray with canola oil spray.

Bake 25 to 30 minutes, rotating halfway through; then spray the other side. Bake until the pickles are browned and crispy.

Serve with store-bought buttermilk ranch dressing, for dipping, adding dill weed to taste.

PHILLY CHEESESTEAK SLOPPY JOES 1 tablespoon olive oil 1 pound ground beef 1 medium-size onion, chopped ½ cup chopped green pepper 1/4 cup steak sauce 1 cup beef broth 1 tablespoon cornstarch 1 tablespoon water ½ teaspoon salt ¼ teaspoon pepper 4 hoagie rolls or sausage buns 8 slices provolone cheese Brown the beef in the oil and add the onions and peppers, cooking until tender. Drain off the excess liquid, then add the steak sauce, beef broth, cornstarch, water, salt and pepper, cooking until thick and bubbly.

Meanwhile, butter the buns and brown cut-sides down in a separate skillet.

Then place the cheese slices on top of the meat and spoon the meat and cheese onto the bottoms of the buns.

Cover with the tops of buns and enjoy.

ADDICTIVE ZUCCHINI PARMESAN BITES 4 small unpeeled zucchinis, thinly sliced (about 3 cups) 1 cup Original Bisquick 1 medium onion, finely chopped (1/2 cup) ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese ½ cup vegetable oil 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley or 1 tablespoon dried ½ teaspoon salt ½ teaspoon dried marjoram or oregano leaves 1 clove garlic, finely chopped 4 eggs, slightly beaten Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.

Grease the bottoms and sides of a 13x9x2-inch pan. Combine the ingredients and spread in the pan. Bake about 25 minutes or until golden brown.

Cut into 2-inch squares, then diagonally in half into triangles.

NO-BRAINER CHILI SAUCE/ GRAPE JELLY MEATBALLS 12-ounce jar Heinz Chili Sauce 10-ounce jar grape jelly Store-bought frozen cooked and defrosted meatballs, or homemade cooked meatballs Combine chili sauce and jelly. Add meatballs. Heat thoroughly before serving.

Meijer’s Store Director, Mr. Gary Vanwassehnova, hands Mayor Andy Swift, a Director of the Kiwanis of Riverview, and Sherry Halko, of the Riverview Register, the very generous donation.

Woodhaven Meijer recognizes Riverview Kiwanis The Kiwanis of Riverview were the recent recipients of a very generous donation by the Meijer’s store located in Woodhaven.

The Retail Administrative Assistant for Meijer’s Store 70, Donna Anderson, contacted the Kiwanis and informed the group that they were one of two recipients of $5,000 in Meijer Gift Cards.

The Woodhaven store donates to two local civic groups each year around Christmas time. This year they decided to go outside their city at the recommendation of two employees. These employees work with the Riverview club twice a year to assist the Kiwanis provide complete Easter and Thanksgiving Dinners to 10 local needy families.

The employees convinced management that the Kiwanis deserved the donation because of all the great work they do for their community.

The other civic group to receive a donation was the Woodhaven Rotary.

The actual donation is made of gift cards that the club can use to purchase the food they need for their programs, or they can be passed along to those who may need a little help.

Richard cagers cruising along as wins pile up The Gabriel Richard basketball juggernaut continued to roll along as the calendar flipped to a new year.

Coach Kris Daiek’s team was 5-0 during the 2021 portion of the schedule and the Pioneers kept up their winning ways with a 61-37 victory over Cranbrook-Kingswood in their first game of 2022 and their first Catholic High School League Intersectional contest.

Mike Calhoun had a big night against Cranbrook with 18 points, 11 rebounds and three blocked shots. Luke Westerdale led Richard with 24 points and he added four steals.

Gabriel Richard’s five victories prior to the win over Cranbrook, came against non-league foes.

The Pioneers opened the season with a 70-61 victory over Dearborn Divine Child on Dec. 7 and just kept rolling from there.

The Pioneers once had a 24-point

lead over the Falcons before the Dearborn team made a late push, thanks, in part, to five fourth-quarter three-point shots.

Nick Szczechowski had a huge night with 27 points, six rebounds and four steals. Calhoun was big that night, too, with 18 points and 12 boards and Nick Sobush added 15.

After that, Trenton fell 65-44, Huron lost 66-53, Richard beat Macomb Lutheran North 61-41 and just before New Year’s Day, Richard travelled down to Monroe and edged the Trojans 58-56.

The Pioneers now head into a streak of nine straight league games, beginning Jan. 14 against Marine City Cardinal Mooney. After that the Pioneers hope to find themselves in the CHSL playoffs. Those playoffs begin Feb. 19, with the semifinals on Feb. 22 and 23 and the championship at U-DMercy’s Calihan Hall on Feb. 26.

After a red-hot start to the season, the Gabriel Richard girls basketball team has hit a rough patch as the calendar turned over to a new year.

The veteran Pioneers were 5-1 during the 2021 portion of their season, but since the dawn of 2022, the Pioneers have yet to win a game, losing to Southfield Christian, Cabrini and Wixom St. Catherine. Richard will try to end that streak when they host Ann Arbor Greenhills on Jan. 18.

Against Cabrini on Jan. 7, it was a fast first-quarter and an early thirdquarter spurt by the Monarchs that made the difference. The visiting Monarchs won 37-31.

Cabrini led 13-5 after one period

before the Pioneers cut that lead to 1716 at halftime.

The Monarchs then opened the second half with a 10-2 scoring edge and they pretty much maintained that edge through the remainder of the game.

Haley Hand was the only Pioneer to score in double figures and she led her team with 12 points. Annie Gilroy added nine.

Richard is now 5-4 on the season.

The Pioneers own wins over Southgate Anderson, Detroit Old Redford, Orchard Lake St. Mary, Wyandotte Roosevelt and Monroe Jefferson.

You can forgive some Riverview High School basketball fans if they were a little skeptical heading into this season. The Bucs suffered heavy graduation losses after last season when they won a Huron League crown, a district crown and advanced all the way to a Michigan High School Athletic Association Division 1 regional championship game before falling to River Rouge.

On top of that, late in the football season last fall, Landon Kincaid, a returning starter and certainly a player slated to be a central figure on this year’s basketball team, broke his leg in a game against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central.

Riverview then hit the road to open the season and got trucked by Saline 69-27. Twenty-seven points? Yikes.

That’s less than seven points a quarter.

It’s tough to win any games with that kind of average.

But three nights later, before anyone could go too crazy, the Bucs opened the home season against Southgate Anderson and showed their true colors, scoring 71 points and beating the Titans handily, 71-46.

And it’s been mostly smooth sailing since then for the Bucs, with Kolby Dorn finding his scoring touch and leading the team to a 6-2 record through its first eight games. The Bucs also won their first three Huron League contests, beating archrival Grosse Ile 44-34, Milan 48-37 and Huron 78-61.

The 78 points against Huron on Jan. 11 was a season high and Dorn, who has led the team in scoring in every game except that ugly opener in Saline, broke out big-time, scoring a seasonhigh 28 points by himself.

He had plenty of help that night as Jayce Doyle added 14 points and Cal Lockhart had 12.

With Kincaid out of the line-up - he is practicing and expected back fairly soon - Riverview needed an offensive focal point and Dorn has provided that. He is averaging 17 points a game.

He has twice gone over 20 points in a game, once against Huron and once against non-league Dearborn Heights Annapolis, when he scored 25.

“Kolby really knows the game and he sees the court well,” said coach Marcus Voelz. “We brought him up to varsity at the end of last year, just to get his feet wet. After the season he

and her is not afraid of the spotlight. It’s been a real positive to have a guy like that.”

Teams can’t just lock down Dorn, however, and think the job is done.

The Bucs have gotten consistent, solid scoring from other parts of their line-up, too.

Lockhart, a senior, is averaging 9.4 points a game and Doyle, a junior like Junior Jayce Doyle has been a solid offensive go-to option Dorn, is for Coach Marcus Volez’s Pirates. averaging 9.1 worked out like crazy, so he came into points a game. Another pair of juniors, the season ready to rock, so to speak.

Shane McAlinden and Jake Tiberia are “He is one of the best, if not the best, each avering right around seven points shooter in the league. He wants the ball a game.

“Guys are stepping up,:” said Voelz.

“They are understanding their roles and showing that we are not just ‘The Kolby Show.’”

As a team, Riverview is averaging about 55 points a night.

In addition to their wins over Anderson, Grosse Ile and Huron, Riverview owns non-league wins over Annapolis (66-58) and Trenton (52-48).

Riverview’s only other loss came in an afternoon game on Dec. 30 against non-league Auburn Hills Avondale.

The Bucs lost to the Yellowjackets 64-53.

It’s Huron League games from here on out through the end of February for the Bucs, who close the regular season with a non-league date with Wyandotte on March 3.

The Pirates played Monroe Jefferson on Jan. 14 and up after that is a date at Flat Rock on Jan 21. The Rams are led by high-scoring freshman Graham Junge and, like Riverview, they are off to a 3-0 Huron League start.

At the end of the regular season, Riverview will host an MHSAA Division 1 district tournament. The Bucs will welcome Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Southgate Anderson, Taylor and Wyandotte Roosevelt.

Districts began March 7.

Riverview’s girls are right where they want to be HANK MINCKIEWICZ

Maelyn Sorenson has stepped up and played a big role in keeping the Bucs unbeaten in Huron League play.

Riverview Register

One look at the Riverview girls basketball record - 5-4 - and you might shrug. Just another near-.500-level team.

Better than some, not as good as others.

But you’d be wrong.

The thing you’d be missing is that fact that Riverview’s four losses have come at the hands of three top-10 ranked teams in the state. Dearborn Divine Child, Ypsilanti Arbor Prep and Redford Westfield Prep are all teams with legitimate state championship thoughts in their heads.

And Riverview’s other loss came against Chelsea, a team that won a Division 2 district title last year and is 4-1 this season.

No, the Bucs are not your run-of-the-mill .500 team.

Coach Rob Sauter deliberately strengthened the schedule this season to get his squad ready for the rigors of the state tournament. The Bucs, three-time defending district champions, have been to the regionals three straight years and they’d like to go a little farther this season.

“We are right where we want to be,” said Sauter Last year, the Bucs were done in by COVID-19.

After crushing Downriver League champion Trenton in the district final, it was discovered that a Trenton girl was infected and the Buc players were forced into quarantine, ending the season.

In 2020, Riverview beat Lincoln Park, Wyandotte Roosevelt and River Rouge to win the district title and they then lost a two-point heartbreaker to Detroit Cass Tech in the first round of regionals In 2019, Riverview demolished Wyandotte in the district finals and then lost in overtime to Dearborn Heights Crestwood in the regionals.

The tough schedule was designed to harden the Bucs, so the state tournament seems like less of a big stage.

A couple of twisted ankles by key players and a couple of

trips into COVID quarantine did not help Riverview’s chances against those stronger opponents.

For example, senior Rayah Kolbusz has seen action in

just five of her team’s nine games this year. In those five games she is averaging almost 14 points a night.

But it is more than just her scoring the team loses when

she is out of the line-up.

Kolbusz is known far and wide as a deadly long-range shooter and the threat of her shooting three balls is enough to loosen up other teams’ defenses.

In Huron League play, Rivierivew has had no peer.

The defending league champs have beaten Grosse Ile, Milan and Huron and the Bucs show little sign of slowing down.

In addition to Kolbusz, the Bucs are powered by their junior sensations, Elyssa Kincaid and Cadence Kaminske. Kincaid, an allaround player who can handle the ball, shoot and rebound, is averaging 15 points a game and Kaminske nearly 13. That’s 42 points a night from Kolbusz, Kincaid and Kaminske when they are all on the floor. Defend that.

In addition to the stars, Sauter said his bench has been great this season. When starters have gone out, others have stepped in.

“We’ve had kids stepping up all over the place,” he said.

The Riverview coach singled out seniors Maelyn Sorenson, Olivia Stergiadis and Haley Guest for their efforts.

The Bucs are in the midst of the league season right now, They faced Jefferson on Jan. 13 and they finish the month of January at Flat Rock Jan. 20, home against Airport Jan. 24, home against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central Jan. 27 and at Grosse Ile Jan. 31.

The district tournament starts this year on Feb. 28 and the Bucs will be at Wyandotte Roosevelt with the host Bears, Allen Park, Lincoln Park, Soutgate Anderson and Taylor.

Senior captain Josiah Dembrosky makes a save.

Riverview skaters are finding their footing As it nears the halfway point of the 2021-22 season, the Riverview-Cabrini united hockey team finds itself dead even with five wins, five losses and a tie.

After losing its first two games of the season and enduring an up and down start to the year, the Bucs have seemingly found their footing. The team went on a three-game winning streak in the middle of December and even after a 6-2 loss to Ann Arbor Gabriel Richard on Jan. 11, the Pirates have won four of their last six games.

The mid-December mini streak included wins over Carlson, Farmington United and Grosse Ile. The wn over the archrival Red Devils came in the first round of the Gabriel Richard Christmas Tournament.

The Bucs trailed the Devils 2-1 after one period, but poured it on after that and won going away. Riverview scored four goals in the second period and one in the third, while senior goalie Josiah Dembrosky held the Devils scoreless the rest of the eway.

Dembrosky stopped 23 of 25 Grosse Ile shots.

Offensively, Riverview got two goals from Hayden Holmes and once each from Blake Schwartz, Jordan Szuch, Jayce Johnson and Hayden Kieltyka.

Schwartz’s goal, which came on the powerplay, was the game-winner.

In the tourney finals Riverview

ran into one of the strongest teams in the state in crosstown rival Gabriel Richard and fell 5-1.

The strong senior Pioneer defense limited the Pirates to just 15 shots on goal in the game and Braeden Goers got the only Riverview goal.

In its last three victories - over Farmington, Grosse Ile and Bedford - the Pirates have been hard to handle offensively, scoring a combined 22 goals.

Against Farmington, Kieltyka, Johnson, Gabe Livernois and Daniel Contreraz had two goals each and Nick Burns had one. It was a four-point night for Kieltyka, who also had two assists.

Against Bedford, seven different Pirates scored. They were Kieltyka, Johnson, Livernois, Goers, Bram Wolf, Kyler Worley and Zach NorsciaZiembiec. The Pirates outshot the Mules 58-19.

The Pirates played Huron on Jan. 13 and Wyandotte on Jan. 14 and they get a rematch with Grosse Ile on Jan. 20.

Starting with the Grosse Ile game, the Bucs have 11 games left in the regular season.

After several years at the Yack Arena in Wyandotte, Riverview will be in a MHSAA regional hosted by Allen Park. The names there will be familiar as Allen Park, Richard, Grosse Ile, Carlson, Wyandotte and SMCC are the other teams in the regional.
