Riverview Register Staff Writer
Cruisin’ Classics Agency / Grundy Insurance went cruisin’ into their new location at 17533 Fort Street in Riverview, on Monday, July 16, with Mayor Andrew Swift in attendance at their grand opening. This small independent company run by Vilma Smathers can give individualized attention and good service to its clients. Being a classic car owner herself, Vilma knows cars. She and her husband own a 1967 Chevelle, and belong to some local car groups including the Roam’n Chariots and the Chevelle Club of Michigan. Smathers learned that many other classic car owners were in agreement with her about their insurance: continuity is key. Having a local agent to whom you

With another high school football season right around the corner, it seems an appropriate time to take one last look back at the special season the Riverview Pirates enjoyed in 2017. The Buccaneers, who have a decades-long history of playing great football, put together one for the record books last year, winning an outright Huron League title, winning three Michigan High School Athletic Association playoff games, and winning at least 11 games in one year for only the third time in school history. After going 6-1 in league play with its only loss coming to Flat Rock and 8-1 overall during the SEE FOOTBALL, page 8

RCSD Summer Enrichment Program 2018 As the 2017-18 school year ended, three hundred students in grades K-11 looked forward to participating in the RCSD Summer Enrichment Program that was implemented last year. The 2018 program’s administrator was once again RCHS Chemistry teacher Danielle Zachary along with six returning teachers and twelve new staff members who were excited to create and teach a variety of twenty-four classes! Below are some
STUDENTS WERE ABLE TO BUILD ON THEIR PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE AND BE EMPOWERED TO FIND THEIR PASSION. highlights of students’ experiences during their classes. In the various art classes, students showed imagination and creativity. Ms. Van Sickle helped students create watercolor resist paintings and acrylic wire sculptures. Students in grades K-2 created pieces that coincided with the topics being learned. For example,
Ms. O’Brien had students create and paint snakes from neckties, while in Kool Krafts, Ms. Peterson taught students about different animals and they created crafts to represent them. Finally, Ms. Moores incorporated history and science in the different crafts students made in Creative Literary Arts. The science classes allowed students to experiment and learn about the world around them. All the classes used the inquiry model to help students investigate phenomenons such as chemical reactions in Household Chemistry with Ms. Wassick. Ms. Fink’s students investigated summer occurrences including predicting rain storms using cloud patterns. Students in STEM is Fun learned a variety of physics concepts using marshmallow shooters and sinking aluminum boats with pennies. Students in Hands-On Science were able to predict, observe, and explore the variety of insects and plants around the school. The ELA classes allowed students to read, write, compare, contrast, and even act out their stories. For example, Ms. Frattarelli had students learn about geology in Reading Rocks. Ms. Rosecrans allowed students to share their favorite books with peers in Dive into Reading while students in AUTHORITY! created their own story to be published.
In Acting Up students became actors as they performed a variety of stories with Ms. DeRosia and Ms. Wassick helped students develop their critical thinking skills by reading Bridge to Terabithia and comparing to the movie. The program also offered a variety of other classes. In Algebra Enrichment, students reinforced skills through a variety of activities, games, and problems. In EV3 Robotics, students created robots and then had to program the robots to move through different mazes. Mr. Lothian helped students become better public speakers by creating and editing YouTube videos. Ms. Hatzl stretched students’ brains with an assortment of brain teasers and games. Students also had an opportunity to learn skills such as sewing and crocheting. Ms. Millner had students create blankets for Project Linus and Ms. Nichols taught students how to crochet their own scarf Students learned yoga, how to make healthy smoothies, and how the brain works in Get Wired with Ms. Quigley and students learned Spanish phrases, history and crafts with Ms. Frost. The students thoroughly enjoyed every day. Students were able to build on their previous knowledge and be empowered to find their passion. Students and parents were once again extremely satisfied with the program and expressed great enthusiasm to participate next year!

The Downriver Boys in Blue Catch the Crook Darrin Moore
Riverview Register Editor-In-Chief
“The words ‘quit’ and ‘give up’ just aren’t in our officers’ vocabulary,” Riverview Police Chief Clifford Rosebohm explained. His department teamed up with nearby police forces for a late night manhunt of a violent criminal wanted by the FBI in connection with two other robberies in Oakland County and of a Subway shop in Taylor. “It really was a team effort of multiple agencies. I couldn’t be prouder of the professionalism and tenacity and fortitude our officers demonstrated in hunting down this violent suspect.” The suspect, Lloyd David Springfield of Troy, had allegedly robbed at gunpoint the 7-11 store at the corner of Allen and Sibley Roads in Brownstown Township at approximately 1:15 a.m. on the morning of July 25th. Five and a half hours later he was apprehended hiding in the rafters of a garage at a residence on Valade Street in Riverview. The list of charges and the iron-clad case against him could put the perpetrator behind bars for a long, long time. The perp walked into the 7-11, went to the cooler, and got an iced tea. Then he went to the counter and paid the cashier for it with a five dollar bill. When the register was opened by the cashier, the perp pulled a handgun, jumped over the counter, scooped out the cash, and ran out to his vehicle. The cashier immediately called Brownstown police and gave a description of the suspect and his vehicle, and told dispatch that he was headed eastbound on Sibley. Brownstown police put out a ‘be on the lookout’ report for the perp to nearby forces. That’s when Riverview cops picked up the chase. Officers who happened to be in the area almost immediately noticed a vehicle matching the description and attempted to effect a traffic stop on Sibley Road. The suspect fled and a high-speed car chase ensued. Eventually the perp crashed into a street light pole at the corner of Longsdorf and Koester. As soon as he hit the light pole, he bailed
out of the vehicle and started hoofing it―and so did the officers chasing him. Springfield would temporarily give them the slip by running into the surrounding residential neighborhood. K-9 units were called in, and with the help of surrounding police forces, the neighborhood was cordoned off so that Springfield had nowhere to run. The manhunt was on. “We had lots of other departments helping us; Brownstown, Trenton, Southgate and Wyandotte. It was really a conglomeration of effort and tenacity on all the agencies’ part,” Chief Rosebohm insists. Springfield apparently snuck into a garage through an unlocked door where he hid for a half an hour until he could find a home in which he could hide. And here is where the story gets really interesting. Springfield picked the wrong house with the wrong homeowner in which to hide. Springfield had slipped into the home of the kind of guy that crooks don’t want to cross. The homeowner was downstairs in the basement playing games and came out to find Springfield standing there brandishing a knife. The resident cooperated as the crook took him hostage and used the homeowner’s cell phone. For ninety minutes the perp had the upper hand and the knife in his hand, all the while talking with the homeowner and placing calls. But at some point the tables turned and the resident was able to place a 911 call, at which point apparently the suspect became enraged and a fight broke out. Full details of the fight have not been released but the intruder allegedly threw plates, a television set, and other personal property at the homeowner (no word if a kitchen sink was used as a projectile weapon). Eventually the courageous homeowner was able to wrestle the knife from the villain who then fled out the side door of the home leaving a trail of tell-tale evidence in his wake that would enable the police to track the culprit to his final hiding place; the rafters of a garage some ten houses away where he was arrested without further incident.

Riverview Community School District Provides Early and Middle College Programs for Fall of 2018 The Riverview Community School District (RCSD), in partnership with Wayne County Community College (WCCC), will provide two new academic programs for juniors and seniors attending Riverview Community High School in the fall. The two programs are the RCSD Early College Program and the RCSD Middle College Program. The Early Russ Pickell College Program is a two-year program providing a minimum of 24 college credits for students who successfully complete the program upon high school graduation. During the 11th and 12th grade years, students will take classes both at the high school and on the WCCC Downriver campus. The Middle College Program is a three-year program providing up to 60 college credits towards an associate degree for students who successfully complete the program upon the 5th year (Grade 13). For students choosing the Middle College program, the 13th year will have all courses taken on the WCCCD campus. The college tuition will be paid by the RCSD, providing a substantial savings for parents and students. Both programs are blended between the RCHS and WCCCD campuses.
THE EARLY COLLEGE PROGRAM IS A TWO-YEAR PROGRAM PROVIDING A MINIMUM OF 24 COLLEGE CREDITS FOR STUDENTS WHO SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETE THE PROGRAM UPON HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION. Transportation will be provided to the WCCCD campus during the school day (5th and 6th period), and students will have a Study Seminar at the beginning of the school day (schedule permitting) to provide support for the rigor of college courses. The courses provided are transferable to any community college or four-year university that participates in the Michigan Transfer Agreement (MTA). The partnership was established to give students an opportunity to earn credits towards an associate or bachelor’s degree while still in high school. In providing these programs Riverview Community High School hopes to accomplish the following; increase the number of students enrolling in college, provide students an opportunity to engage in the college experience in a supportive setting, reduce the financial burden on families, increase student opportunities based on interests, talents, and abilities, and expand the traditional view of high school. So far seventy students have enrolled in the program.

Third Annual Chefs Showdown Delights Seniors
O
nly a few style points from the judges ultimately separated the contenders in the Chefs Showdown on Wednesday, July 18th, but the professional chefs from Atria Kinghaven Senior Living Center narrowly edged out the amateur challengers, Deputy Police Chief Mike Pool and Robert McMahon, the Finance Director for the City of Riverview. Staged similarly to the popular cooking contests on television, the contestants raced against the clock, and both teams had to incorporate at least one ingredient to concoct a culinary delicacy to delight the panel of judges. The not-so-secret ingredient both teams were required to use this year was the garden-variety tomato. The professional chefs, Paul Daniels and Mike Vanhampler Jr., conjured up the Italian appetizer, bruschetta; a tomato, basil, onion, cilantro, and garlic topping, delicately dressed with olive oil and balsamic vinaigrette on a toasted baguette. The amateurs cooked up tomato soup and
grilled cheese. Although the officer and the administrator’s offering might have been more of an everyday dish,
it was nonetheless gourmet. The tomato soup was thicker and heartier than anyone expected and its spice

was innovative and well balanced; so much so that it narrowly triumphed in the survey taken by the residents of Atria Kinghaven who had assembled for the show. But the panel of judges saw it only slightly differently and awarded the first-place trophies to the professionals. Even the golden trophies themselves had bright red tomatoes emblazoned upon them.

Swift also remarked that every Thursday the Kiwanis meets at Atria Kinghaven and the food is always delicious. Unlike many other senior living centers which sub-contract out their caretaking, Atria Kinghaven employs their own tenured staff, each with fifteen to twenty years experience, giving the entire staff of the facility a combined experience of over three hundred years taking personal care of the senior community. The smiles on the faces of the audience the day of the Chefs Showdown were a testament to that seasoned expertise in caretaking.

FOOTBALL CONTINUED from page 1 regular season, Riverview beat Carlson, Trenton, and Dearborn Divine Child in the playoffs before finally bowing to Farmington Hills Harrison 21-0 in the MHSAA Division 3 regional state semifinals. During the regular season, Riverview beat four teams Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central, Milan, Huron, and Romulus who would themselves qualify for the state playoffs. “It was a special season full of great memories,” said Coach Derek McLaughlin, who is heading into his fifth season at the helm of the Riverview program. “We had a really great group of kids. That was really the best part. They played at a high level, no matter what the score or the situation.” McLaughlin admitted the
great season came as a bit of a surprise to him and his staff, but he has no problem pinpointing the moment at which the campaign turned: September 2nd, the day after the 22-14 loss to Flat Rock, which came on the second week of the season. “I don’t think the season would have unfolded the way it did
without that loss,” admitted McLaughlin. “I know it sounds strange, but losing that game may have been the best thing that could have happened to us. It was kind of a blessing in disguise.” Immediately after the loss, McLaughlin said the team’s practices became better, more productive. “(Losing) seemed
to sharpen our focus,” he said. “Our practices became more intense, more purposeful.” Riverview’s season easily could have crumbled after the loss to Flat Rock. With back-to-back games looming against Monroe St. Mary Catholic Central and Milan—two of the Huron League’s traditional
powerhouse teams—the Bucs faced the prospect of digging themselves a hole they likely would not be able to crawl out of. Instead, they bombed their old tormentor SMCC 34-7, beat Milan, then routed Carleton Airport, and the march was on. From that point on, the team had what McLaughlin called “confidence and a shared goal.” Over the course of the final three weeks of the regular season, Riverview got on a tremendous roll, beating New Boston Huron, Grosse Ile, and Redford Union by a combined score of 141-35. The heart of the team was an offensive and defensive line led by Nathan Maher, Brandon Kincaid, Jack DeMare, Tyler Dively and Cas Sarnacki. “They were a tough, gritty bunch,” said McLaughlin. “They gutted it out, got after it SEE FOOTBALL, page 9

CONTINUED from page 8 and made plays. We didn’t have a lot of vocal leaders, but these guys led by example.” To put points on the board, the Bucs turned to a pair of backs, who each rushed for over 1,000 yards, Cam Rogers and Zach Guthrie, and to fullback Jack Warlick. McLaughlin said Warlick came up huge, especially in the playoffs, making multiple big plays as the team marched on. After the season, both Rogers and DeMare were named to the all-state team. Rogers is now continuing his football career Cam Rogers as an all-state player for the Bucs in 2017 and he now plays for Wayne at Wayne State University. State University. The 2017 season is now a memory, albeit a pleasant one, and McLaughlin, naturally, has turned his attention to the 2018 campaign. “The thing about high school football is this year’s team is not last years’ team. What that group experienced does not matter a whole lot to this team. This team has a whole different dynamic. They have to learn things for themselves,” the coach said. The strength of this year’s team may lie in the defensive secondary, where most of the players return. McLaughlin says he has five or six returners on each side of the ball. One of the returners is senior quarterback Dominic Wood. Wood also plays cornerback on defense and holds a special place with the Riverview coaches because 2018 Zach Guthrie (22) will mark only his third season as was one to two a quarterback. The Riverview staff running back to converted him from a tailback to a gain over 1,000 quarterback before his sophomore yards for the year and he has blossomed. Huron League McLaughlin said Wood is, “a champion great kid, a great leader, and a Riverview great athlete.” team last season. McLaughlin said he expects another tough year from Huron League foes. “Every game in this league is a battle,” he said. “This is a very competitive league and you have to be at the top of your game every time out. There are no nights off.” The Bucs kick off the 2018 season Aug. 24 against non-league rival Romulus. On Aug. 31 they face Flat Rock to begin the league season.

Riverview’s Summer Successes Dear Fellow Riverview Residents, With summer well underway and our recreation activities running at full tilt, don’t forget to go out and have some family fun. The new splash pad and Memorial Park is getting its fair share of use. We’ve added three picnic tables for your convenience. The Andrew Swift Summer Concerts in the Park have been big successes so far and increased in crowd size each week. The weather has fully cooperated for the return of Movies in the Park. We’ve had quite a bit going on this summer and the feedback we’ve received so far has been very positive. If your club or group has an upcoming event, let the Riverview Register know about it so that they may publish it in upcoming editions. Riverview’s business community continues to grow. With the help of Ron Hinrichs, president of the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber, this month we had ribbon-cutting ceremonies at Grundy Classic Automotive Insurance and at Starbucks. Both businesses are located on Fort Street and both businesses already had a Riverview connection. Grundy Insurance is owned and operated by residents Vilma & Tom Smathers, while Starbucks’ store manager is Riverview Community School District graduate Nick Monak. Please support these and all our businesses. Shop Riverview first! I continue to receive questions about the activity at Riverview Land Preserve. In our effort to be a good neighbor to our residents and our neighboring communities, we are increasing the number of methane gas collection wells. We are investing hundreds of thousands of dollars to collect more of the methane gas created by the hill so it can be converted into additional income for the city. Another benefit of the landfill is the extraordinary view available from the driving range located at the top of the Golf Practice Facility. Pick a cool summer afternoon to walk up the cart path to
the top from where you can see every downriver community located to the North, East, and West. Bring your camera for a beautiful picture of the Detroit skyline. Our city sidewalk replacement program has started and will continue throughout the summer. Please be careful when traveling in areas where work is being done. If you’d like to take advantage of the same rate the city pays to replace your own sidewalk, please call A Land Construction at (313)-359-5510. For pricing, check our web page at www. cityofriveriverview.com. Riverview Forest Neighborhood Watch program has expanded to cover the entire city. Please check out the Facebook page, Riverview Community Neighborhood Watch. On Tuesday, August 7th, 6:00pm at Young Patriots Park the Neighborhood Watch held their National Night Out event. To learn more and volunteer, email Mr. Brian Webb at ba_webb@hotmail.com. The more people we get involved, the safer our community will be. On the McLouth Steel front, we are in contact with the Environmental Protection Agency. It is our understanding that Crown Enterprises and the EPA have not yet come to an agreement on the cleanup of the site. Once there is an agreement, we will be notified of where and when the public input meeting will take place. There will be a press release and some sort of fact sheet prepared. In the next edition of the Riverview Register please look for the results of our Riverview Recycling Survey. The Recycling Committee has finished tabulating the results and we are slowly making progress. Trenton continues to express interest in partnering if we can get enough subscribers to participate. We may have a huge hurdle to overcome with China cutting way back on importing of recyclables to their country. Finally, Aerius Health located at Fort Street and King Roads has not yet opened. They still need to pass state and city fire inspections. We’re all hoping they can open soon. Till next month, Mayor Swift

Riverview History With Perry Dear Jerry, I remember something about Riverview Days and a Miss Riverview contest. Can you tell me how and when it started, and did it evolve into what we know as our Summer Fest today? ~ From Alice on Mulberry Street To Alice D., Thank you for the letter! First off, yes, Riverview Days did change to Summer Fest. Riverview Days started back in early 1963. It took a lot of volunteer time and effort to put on the fourday celebration. Gerald Perry A lot of the same people were on the Riverview Days committee year after year. It included the Miss Riverview Pageant, which was a gigantic undertaking. Other activities included a family social, teen dance, adult dance, fishing derby, cart derby, water ball fight, ox roast, variety
show, battle of the bands, prince and princess pageant, a parade, and a fireworks show. WOW! The very first Miss Riverview Days Queen was crowned in 1963 and her name was Miss Patte Gillen. Some of the other Riverview Days Queens, to name a few, were; Miss Lynn Shoenut, Miss Evelyn Wisenor, Miss Glena Hawk, Miss Karen Lasazen, Miss Janice Hill, Miss Barbara Wheaton, and Miss Linda Amos. Some of the Judges were Ann Marston, a former Miss Michigan from Wyandotte and Louis Sugo, a writer for the Detroit News. All of these took place from 1963 to sometime in the late 1970s. Lack of volunteers resulted in ending the known event as Riverview Days. Then in the 1980s an event called Summer Fest started, a scaled down version of Riverview Days, this time under the direction of Riverview Recreation Department Director Mike Shea. This event continues to this day.

33rd Annual Downriver Olympics Draws Hundreds Over five hundred competitors over the age of fifty from eighteen area communities competed in the 33rd installment of the Downriver Senior Olympics. Over the course of four days, the seniors competed in everything from baking and spelling to golf and pickleball and everything in between. In all, there were nearly thirty events, most held in the host community of Flat Rock. Woodhaven, Riverview, Trenton, Lincoln Park, Taylor, Grosse Ile and Wyandotte stepped in to host some of the specialty sports like bocce ball, billiards and shuffleboard. The competition began with opening ceremonies at Flat Rock High School on July 23rd, followed by a champions breakfast. On July 27th, following four
days of competition, there was the Unity Awards Banquet at the Flat Rock Community Center. 475 total medals were handed out to the senior athletes. Each of the eighteen communities represented earned at least two medals, but Brownstown Township paced the field with 102 medals, 45 of which were gold. Riverview which hosted the bocce ball and golf competitions, won 21 medals, including six gold and 10 silvers. Collecting gold medals for Riverview were Bill Wilson in Class E bowling, George Roley in bridge and Elmer Trombley in Class D golf and football throw. Darlene Swift was also a two-time gold medalist, winning the chili cook-off and in the car show. In addition to his two gold medals,
Trombley also won seven other medals. Also claiming honors for the city of Riverview were Jackie Gies, Rita Lang, Mary Kay Underwood, Robert Gies, Frank Christensen, Virgie Ann O’Connor and Mayor Andrew Swift. It was a big week for the Riverview mayor, who collected a total of five medals. He won silver in pedal and paddle, backstroke and breaststroke and bronze in freestyle swimming and darts. “(Darlene) and I enjoyed ourselves very much,” Swift said. “I want to encourage anyone 50 and over to participate in this Downriver community event.” Next year’s event will be hosted by the city of Southgate.

Riverview Girls Basketball Team Mentored by Alumni Hank Minckiewicz
Riverview Register Sports Writer
High school coaches―the good ones anyway―know their job is about more than just winning games and matches. To that end, Riverview veteran girls basketball coach Rob Sauter has instituted a unique program this summer. While it is not unusual for coaches to open up the high school gym for practice and workouts during the summer, Sauter is doing more that just rolling out the balls. This year, he is inviting back alumni players to scrimmage with and mentor his current players. “A lot (of the former players) are doing great things with their lives,” Sauter said. And he wants his younger players to know what awaits them. The players Sauter is talking about are people like Jen Thurman, Riverview High School’s all-time leading point scorer. These days, Thurman, still an active athlete, is an educator and a coach. “She is the player I’ve probably stayed in contact with the most,” said Sauter. Another player coach likes to bring up is Shannon Kulik, one of Riverview’s most athletic female athletes ever. In her senior year, Kulik earned all-state honors and a permanent place on the wall in the athletic wing of the

high school, where the photos of all Riverview all-staters reside. In addition to being a great athlete, Kulik was also a scholar, entertaining offers to go to several Ivy League schools before choosing to attend Lake Superior State, a school her brother attended. Today, she is a pharmacist. Of course, you play games to win and Sauter’s former players know a lot about that, too. “We have such a storied tradition that the young girls don’t know about,” Sauter said. “The district titles we have won, the great battles
we’ve had with rivals like Grosse Ile.” Sauter wants his current team―and future teams―to connect with that past via the alumni players who are coming back. Rebecca Duffy, one of the alumni players who graduated in 2004, thinks this is a great year to dig into the team’s roots. Sauter said Duffy told the current team she had seen more commitment in them than in any team in a long time. “I thought that was good for our girls to hear,” Sauter said. Another connection to the past comes from Sauter’s
coaching staff, all young women and all former players. Beth Hatzl is the junior varsity coach and Becky Masserant is her assistant. Rachael Chinever is Sauter’s varsity assistant. All are former players. Sauter, of course, brings a long history to the table and he is another connection to Riverview’s storied past. He coached the Pirates from 1990-2004 and returned to coach in 2016. During his 12year hiatus from Riverview, Sauter coached at Henry Ford Community College, Wyandotte Roosevelt,
Gibraltar Carlson, and Trenton. The Bucs were 11-10 last year and ravaged by injury. Sauter said players missed a combined 54 games because of injury or illness. Riverview only lost a couple of seniors to graduation and Saute has high hopes for this year’s club. “I think we can be pretty good,” he said, “even though we are still pretty young.” And Sauter also thinks rubbing shoulders with great players from the past can only help.

“Civilizations grow great when old men plant trees in the shade of which they know they will never sit,” an old proverb presciently explains. Surely the planting of trees is more of a result than a causation of great civilizations, and often our time is better spent tending old trees than planting new ones. However, the proverb’s meaning is clear; pay it forward, leave the world better than you found it, do good things today that will grow into something great in the future. Civil societies are not natural. They don’t just emerge like weeds. Civilizations are man-made, and therefore require citizens who are artisans in the craft of civilizationmaking. Civilizations require constant maintenance, steady stewardship, and fierce defenders else they crumble and the jungle then reemerges and savagery is loosed upon the world in something approaching a war of all against all until a strong man’s regime seizes power to impose order. Many today take civil society for granted. Indeed, the more durable and lasting a social order is, the more likely its civilians will assume their social order is practically permanent and its benefits are as plentiful as the air we breathe. Here, history tells us, lies the danger. Decadence, hubris, and boredom set in when civilizations become affluent and flabby. The pillars of civil society are left undefended, and before we know it, barbarians are being bred within the gates because society hasn’t imbued them with the winnowed wisdom of our ancestors and the hard lessons of history which outfit men with moral imaginations, the habits of restraint, and loyal reverence for the intricately constructed grand edifice of civilization. C.S. Lewis opined how the folly of the time was for humankind to believe that once it had climbed high up the ladder of civilization it could kick the ladder out from under itself and remain at its lofty height. Worse, when a people no longer revere civilization’s long climb from the swamp to the stars, they come to believe they can refashion a new, better society out of whole cloth. Armed with self-flattering good intentions, utopian visions, and the power of the state, social engineers
confidently take on the task tearing down what has been painstakingly built up, replacing what worked reasonably well for ages with what sounds good now. The result is often disastrous and a whole new set of problems are initiated which devastate the very people their schemes ostensibly aimed to help. Typically the social engineers are blind to the humbling knowledge that their schemes have already been tried under similar guises again and again in the not-too-distant past, and they are unrepentant when their means end again in ruin. Tragically the lesson that civilization is a thin crust over a volcano will be repeated until it is learned. We must care for the poor, for example, but rather than merely looking at what causes poverty and trying to eradicate it, we ought to realize that poverty is the natural, default condition of mankind. Far from alleviating it, even more poverty and failure is created when we simply subsidize it. We ought to focus on what causes the creation of genuine wealth and empower people with the skills to generate it for themselves. In his book Enough, Juan Williams found that “the good news is that there is a formula for getting out of poverty today.” The four magical steps, he says, are finishing high school, taking and holding a job, getting married, and not having children out of wedlock. The poverty rate for those who follow the formula is a tiny 5.8 percent. These magical steps could be included in what T.S. Eliot called the Permanent Things; the norms of our being which have ratified by the entire human experience. These are the exemplary ideals by which all other standards are measured, and they are the guiding lights which help answer the question; how then shall we live? We ignore or repudiate them at our own peril. Civilizations rise and fall as transcendent and eternal truths fall in and out of favor. History will break again and again on the Permanent Things like an angry sea on a rocky coast. Let us steer a course through history which treats the Permanent Things like precious cargo, and let us plant trees for our progeny whom we will never meet.

Many of the greatest novels were originally published in periodicals as serials. The Count of Monte Cristo, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Treasure Island, and Heart of Darkness, were all written in installments and published in parts. The Grosse Ile Grand is inaugurating a children’s serial novel that adults will also surely enjoy titled Harry and the Downriver Monster by our editor-in-chief, Darrin Moore. One of the key characters in this fictional story is the factual Downriver area. Each month, this island-hopping fantasy adventure story will also examine truthful elements of the place we call home. The Grand is seeking a local illustrator for the story and Mr. Moore is hunting for eerily haunting or intriguingly enlightening actual places, people, and things here Downriver that his characters can discover in this tall tale. Send him your ideas and feedback to darrin@gobigmultimedia.com
Harry and the Downriver Monster
T
his story never took place, but―you never know―it might someday. Harry is a real person and so is the place called Downriver, and there are surely some real monsters in the Detroit River. At the start of our story Harry is a thirteen year-old boy who lives on the sunrise shore of a little island named ‘big island’ in French, Grosse Ile, which it rests at the mouth of the Detroit River just before it pours into the penultimate (which means; the second to the last) of the Great Lakes, Lake Erie. The island is about eight miles long and almost a mile and a half wide at its fattest point, which happens to be the very place where Harry lives with his mother on East River Road. Not only is it peculiar that a small island is named ‘big island’, the name of the island is spelled and pronounced a little funny because it has French heritage just like the City of Detroit does. Although we don’t pronounce Detroit ‘Day-TWAH’ like a Frenchman would, Grosse Ile is pronounced ‘ɡrōs-EEL’ instead of ‘gross-IYL’, like you would if it had an ‘s’ in it like ‘isle’. It can be kind of confusing if you’re not from the area, but people catch on fast enough. Plus, if someone pronounces it ‘GrossEE IYL’, it’s a surefire way to know that they are strangers to the area; and being able to tell the difference between strangers and locals can sometimes be lifesaving, as our hero Harry will soon find out. But the real reason those French settlers named our little island ‘Big Island’ is simply because it is the largest of all the fourteen islands which make up the archipelago (which means; a constellation of islands that are nearby one another) in the Detroit River downstream from Detroit’s downtown. Grosse Ile is shaped much like another great island, Manhattan, in New York, which also sits at the end of a great river. But unlike Manhattan, Grosse Ile has far more trees than people. There are many spacious homes on Grosse Ile in which a little less than eleven thousand souls live, but the island is also home to millions of trees that grow around those houses and within its many enchanting forests. Manhattan is only a little more than twice the size of Grosse Ile, but one million, seven hundred thousand souls are crammed onto it, and aside from inside one great park, there are precious few trees growing on it. The archipelago’s other islands are all much smaller, and they too have names which don’t seem to fit their

Riverview Register Editor-In-Chief
description. For example, nestled at the southwest end of Grosse Ile is Round Island, which isn’t round at all, but has two very straight sides and rather looks like an upside-down ice-cream cone. Also there are a Crystal Island where no crystals have ever been found, a Stony Island which is mostly mud, a Sugar Island on which no sugar cane or sugar beets are grown, a Calf Island where there are no cows, a Fox Island where there are no foxes, a Turkey Island where there are no turkeys, and a Fighting Island which didn’t host a fight until eighteen years after it had been discovered and named. At the southeast end of the ‘big island’ is Hickory Island where there are almost no hickory trees, and if you want to drive to it, you have to
cross Meso Island where there are almost no residents who like Meso soup. There is also a Powder House Island, which is so small you couldn’t even fit a full-sized house on it. You could fit a lighthouse on it, however, and that’s just what they did. But there had to be a reason why they called it Powder House Island, and since this tale tells of Harry’s exciting adventures and the secret places, specters, treasures, heroes and villains that he discovers or encounters on these islands, you’ll find out the reason at some point. Now, not all the islands’ names make no sense. There is a Swan Island where majestic swans can often be seen. And there is a Bois Blanc Island which means ‘white woods’ in French. Its name makes sense because of how many beautiful white birch and beech trees grow upon it. Birches and beeches are really cool because their bark looks like they are shedding their paper skin. To pronounce Bois Blanc properly in French, you’d have to say ‘boo-WAH buh-LONK’ with the ‘boo’ and ‘buh’ said so softly that they hardly register as syllables. As the years passed, the locals gave up on pronouncing it correctly and just called the island Bob Lo, which also makes sense since surely lots of men named have Bob laid low and hidden out there. You see, there was once a very popular amusement park on Bob Lo Island and you had to take a very happy boat to reach it. The story of that happy park and that happy boat do not have a happy ending in real life or in this tall tale. And, come to think of it, you should be warned that lots of bad and scary things are going to happen in this story, none of them real, but really scary just the same. This story, however, doesn’t just hop from island to island as Harry and the other characters bravely battle monsters and villains; it goes to other worlds and even to other times. For example, there is another island which hasn’t yet been mentioned that lies on the eastern edge of Grosse Ile called Elba Island, and that is also the name of the mountainous island off the Tuscan coast in Italy to which the great little monster Napoleon Bonaparte was exiled (which means; sent to as punishment) way back in 1814. In this story, Harry will travel back in time and encounter that very interesting-but-tragic person on Elba Island. You’ll never know what to expect from each chapter of this tumultuous novel, but you will learn lots of little valuable life-lessons along the way, and you’ll be blown away by the ending.

CULINARY CAPERS Is there anyone who doesn’t love Maurice Salad? Maybe not, or it wouldn’t still be on the menu at Macy’s, formerly Marshall Field’s, formerly J. L. Hudson’s. According to the Marshall Field’s Cookbook, which was published in 2006, the year Evelyn Cairns Field’s was acquired by Macy’s, it is believed that Maurice was a chef at Hudson’s, where the salad debuted. Here’s the beloved recipe from the cookbook: MAURICE DRESSING 2 teaspoons white vinegar 1½ teaspoons fresh lemon juice 1½ teaspoons onion juice 1½ teaspoons sugar 1½ teaspoons Dijon mustard ¼ teaspoon dry mustard 1 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley 1 hard-boiled egg, diced Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Combine and whisk well the first 6 ingredients. Whisk in the mayonnaise, parsley and egg, and add salt and pepper. Set aside. In a large bowl, combine 1 pound each of julienned ham, turkey breast and Swiss cheese and ½ cup slivered sweet gherkins, then fold in the dressing. Shred 1 head lettuce, arrange on salad plates and top with meat and cheese mixture. Garnish with pimientostuffed olives. ••• In my archives, I have more than a dozen Maurice dressing recipes contributed in response to a request for the popular salad topping, and no two were exactly alike. I had first called Hudson’s to ask for the recipe, but was told by a food-department manager that “Hudson’s has never given the recipe to the public.” One of the recipe contributors said hers was the “real thing,” given to her mother by the chef at Hudson’s. Another asked to remain anonymous because she got the recipe from a friend who got it from a friend who got it from a Hudson’s kitchen employee. The manager admitted that a kitchen employee could have revealed the
recipe. Melva Bonis of Grosse Ile shares the recipe for the Maurice dressing she’s been using for many years, but doesn’t remember where she got it. Don’t let the dill pickle juice scare you. The dressing is delicious ... you may like it even better than Maurice’s! MELVA’S YEARS-OLD MAURICE DRESSING 2 cups mayonnaise 2 tablespoons salad oil ½ cup finely diced dill pickle ½ cup finely diced sweet pickle ½ cup dill pickle juice ½ teaspoon minced onion ½ teaspoon minced dried parsley Mix ingredients and serve over 1½ heads of shredded lettuce and 12 ounces each of julienned ham, chicken breast and Swiss cheese. Garnish with sliced sweet pickles. ••• As a culinary-professional employee of Marshall Field’s before its acquisition by Macy’s, I taught cooking classes and demonstrated recipes using specialty products (including Maurice Dressing) sold in the department store’s Marketplace. I was provided with a treasure chest of recipes to demonstrate, among them Maurice Pasta Salad and Maurice Cole Slaw. Although the Marketplace is gone, the iconic dressing is available in the restaurant and costs $12.95 for a 12-ounce bottle. I recently bought a bottle and made the pasta salad once again, but do cut the recipe in half unless you plan to serve 6 or 8. Ask at the deli counter for the ounces of meat and cheese you will need. MAURICE PASTA SALAD 1 pound rotini (spiral) pasta 5 ounces each of ham, turkey, Swiss cheese and sweet pickles, all julienned 1 jar Maurice Salad Dressing (or use the cookbook recipe) Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Cook pasta, drain and cool. Toss with the remaining ingredients. Chill and garnish with pimiento-stuffed olives. Serves 6 to 8. THANKS, MAURICE!

A Bicycle Built For Dew Elmer Trombley points the way through the new Splash Pad in Memorial Park.
W
ant a new way to beat the heat during the dog days of summer? A fun, wet, and wild playscape is now open for everyone’s enjoyment at Riverview Memorial Park on Colvin Avenue. A state-of-the-art ‘splash pad’ was opened for public use on June 18th, thanks to a $126,000 Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) from the federal government, a grant from Wayne County Parks, and the dogged persistence of local officials. This is another in a stream of Riverview parks which have undergone significant upgrades over the past several years. According to Riverview City Manager Doug Drysdale, over the last five years, a majority of the city’s block grant money has been spent on park improvements. Elmer Trombley, a 37-year veteran of the Riverview City Council and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, was instrumental in pushing for funds to be allocated to improve the amenities at Memorial Park. “I’m homegrown in this town. I’ve been mayor pro tem, but really, I’m a trench guy, a people guy. My son is councilman too. He’s got 20 years in. We help the taxpayers, and we’re not quitters. We get things done,” insisted Trombley. At first, Trombley campaigned to get the former spray pool repaired. “The pipes were broken and needed replacing and upgrading.” However, after the work had been done, Elmer wasn’t satisfied. He wanted something better and more modern for the children
in Riverview. Parks and Recreation Director Todd Dickman agreed, and also played a vital role in making this project happen. Dickman began procuring price quotes, and the company, Miracle Midwest, would ultimately get the construction job. Michiganbased Miracle Midwest―a full service park and playground consulting, layout, design and manufacturers’ representative firm―designed and built this urban beach style splash pad that includes a run-through spray feature that resembles an oldfashioned bicycle with an oversized front wheel; the streams of shooting water are designed to look like the spokes of the wheel and ensures that whoever runs through it will get roundly sprayed. Fountains and sprays of water are also strategically placed around the circular installment, and while somewhat predictable, change height and intensity, and sometimes offer a soak-to-the bone surprise for the water-loving participants. The splash pad’s concrete raindeck is about 50 feet from edge to edge and is compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act, which makes it handicapaccessible and thus fun for all. This low-maintenance, low-cost, urban beach style splash pad eliminates the need for a lifeguard because, unlike a standard swimming pool, its textured concrete raindeck has little or no standing water. The water only sprays when activated by
a guest by pressing an illuminated button on a red post. When the button is pushed during its operational hours every day from eleven in the morning until eight at night, the red light changes to green and the water park springs to life for approximately twenty minutes. If there’s more fun to be had, the button can be pressed again and again for hours of entertainment. The circular sidewalk that makes up the outer ring of the raindeck remains relatively dry― save for any splashing that occurs―giving parents and guardians who prefer to stay in close proximity to their children a place to stand and observe without getting their street clothes soaking wet. New park benches and picnic tables have also been installed nearby as part of the the installation of the splash pad. The Splash Pad makes the city of Riverview a more inviting, fun, and family-friendly place to live, and will provide countless hours of free and wholesome entertainment for those who visit it. City officials estimate that it will cost only fifteen thousand dollars to operate the splash pad each year. The Riverview Department of Public Works will winterize it in the fall, start it up in the spring, and maintain the playscape year-round. It is open seasonally starting in mid-June through Labor Day.

Polio Could Soon Be a Thing of the Past
Two Juniors Get Holes-In-One Wednesday, July 18 was a special day for the Riverview Highlands Junior Golf Program. In a period of 45 minutes, 7 year old Ella Jones of Riverview and 8 year old Matthew McQuiston of Trenton both made a Hole in One on the 93 yard second hole on the practice course. They were participating in the junior lesson program at Riverview Highlands Golf Club. PGA Director of Golf and Head Golf Instructor Joe Lambirx offer a 6 week lesson program for 7-15 year olds. It is extremely popular and sells out every year at 272 participants. This year they started back up the Junior League for 9 hole weekly play that sold out at 39 golfers. The Junior Program runs from mid-June until the first week of August. Joe commented “The odds of two in such a short time are astronomical. It was a thrill for the kids, coaches, and myself”. Anyone interested in the 2019 program can monitor the Riverview Highlands website and Facebook page for the sign up date that will be sometime in April.
Since 1988, the fight to end polio has been directed by the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI), and spearheaded by Rotary International in union with UNICEF, the CDC, the World Health Organization (WHO), the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, governments of the world, and the support of others. The light at the end of the tunnel is now in sight. Few diseases frightened parents more in the first half of the 20th century than the highly-infectious, crippling, and sometimes fatal disease of poliomyelitis or polio. It would strike most commonly during the warm summer months, sweeping through towns in epidemics, and once infected, it had no specific cure. Although most people recovered quickly from polio, some suffered temporary or permanent paralysis and even death. Thousands that developed paralysis of the breathing muscles were placed in the infamous “iron lung,” a metal coffin-like Dr. Michael Concessi apparatus that aided respiration. Riverview Chiropacctor The poliovirus enters the body through the mouth and spreads through contact with the feces of an infected person. It may also be spread by food or water containing human feces in unsanitary conditions or to a lesser degree through saliva from a sneeze or cough. You can get infected with poliovirus if you have feces on your hands and touch your mouth. Also, you can get infected if you put objects in your mouth such as toys that are contaminated with feces. For this reason, children under 5 are particularly vulnerable to the disease and why early on, the disease was known as “infantile paralysis.” Although children, and especially infants under 5, were among the worst affected, adults were also often afflicted. One of the most well-known individuals was future president, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who contracted polio in 1921 at the age of 39 and was left partially paralyzed as a result. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reported that most people who get infected with poliovirus, about 72%, will not have any visible symptoms. About 25% will have flu-like symptoms that usually last 2 to 5 days, then go away on their own. Paralysis (total loss of movement of extremities) or weakness in the arms, legs, or both, occurs in about .5% of people with poliovirus infection and may be temporary or permanent. Among those with paralysis, 2% to 5% of children and 15% to 30% of adults died when their breathing muscles became involved. In the early 1950’s, Dr. Jonas Salk developed a vaccine to help prevent against poliomyelitis. A nationwide inoculation campaign began in 1955 and by 1957, the first year after the vaccine became widely available, new cases of polio dropped dramatically. In 1962, an oral vaccine developed by Dr. Albert Sabin became available, allowing for greater distribution of the polio vaccine. By 1994, the Americas were certified polio-free. In 2002 the European region and in 2000 the Western Pacific region was certified polio-free. In 2014, Southeast Asia was also certified polio-free. To date, Rotary International and its partners of GEPI have immunized over 2.5 billion children in 122 countries worldwide. When the partnership began in 1988, there were more than 350,000 cases of polio worldwide. By 2017, that number would drop to 22 worldwide with just Afghanistan, Pakistan and Nigeria still uncertified polio-free. The light at the end of the tunnel is now in sight and we are so close to having polio eradicated globally. Soon, polio should be like that of smallpox, a thing of the past.

CONTINUED from page 4 “He had some injuries from that fight that were significant enough that they enabled us to track him down,” the Chief chuckled. “He fought for (the knife), there was a struggle for it, and the homeowner won, and he was able to disarm that suspect, and the suspect fled,” Chief Rosebohm recounts. “It took a lot of guts on behalf of the homeowner. We really applaud him. His fortitude to take this person on and disarm him and still be able to tell the story is just amazing.” Springfield was arraigned on one first degree felony count of “WE HAD LOTS OF OTHER home invasion which could be DEPARTMENTS HELPING punishable by twenty years in US; BROWNSTOWN, prison, a second degree felonious TRENTON, SOUTHGATE AND assault with a dangerous weapon WYANDOTTE.

Additionally, the county prosecutor tacked on some habitual offender charges to lengthen the possible prison time. Brownstown Chief of Police Robert Matthews offered details of the robbery, praised the efforts of all the cooperating police forces, particularly the Riverview Department and Chief Rosebohm, and stated that Brownstown Police force is working with the FBI’s violent crime task force to whom they have turned over the robbery case so that the suspect can be charged federally. This doesn’t bode well for Springfield’s chances of getting sprung from prison on this side of eternity. Chief Rosebohm remarked that “It really showcases how multiple agencies can come together and work effectively to find and ultimately bring this person to justice. We arrested a really bad guy and hopefully this bad guy never gets out of prison.”

Direct-to-Consumer Selling Weakens Retail Networks Direct-to-consumer sales and marketing is one of the biggest trends in brand distribution, but it rankles small and independent retailers, maybe more than even Amazon. Vendors must present a professional image for their brand; something they cannot count on in a world of trash retailers. But by aggressively selling from their platforms, vendors siphon off revenues from their “golden goose”; their retail partners, weakening them. The symbiotic Peter Rose relationship between vendor and retailer is what built almost every brand you see. Good department stores like Von Mauer and Nordstrom do credible jobs of representing brands and are vital for the image of branded products. Independent stores like ours are great at it also, and formerly were the only vehicles for vendors to get their products in front of the consumer in a way which romances and glorifies the merchandise. If I had not fallen in love with the entire lifestyle of Tommy Bahama twenty-four years ago, that brand would have had no local champion. It’s not just about displaying the products attractively, it’s about loving and believing in the quality and the integrity of the brand. Without their quality products, our independent stores are diminished, but without us, they have nothing. Or, I should say, they had nothing until the advent of direct selling. Even our entire wholesale industry has grown accustomed to vendors selling direct and diverting as much as they can away from the stores and wholesalers. But vendors worry. What happens when Macy’s fails? Over seven hundred distribution portals; gone. There aren’t enough indie stores like mine to make up for the loss of those corporate stores, so vendors are trying to build their own, stand-alone brands. It then becomes a vicious circle. The tsunami of digital options is unrelenting, with new entries on television nearly every week. They’re easy to use, there’s no muss or fuss, and products come direct to your door. I am not oblivious to the appeal. Amazon continues to decimate the local retail
sector with their broadband assault across so many realms. Meanwhile, other competitors are right in front of our noses. A disconnect has occurred with consumers and their local economies. Not enough people insist on buying locally, and every dollar diverted away weakens the vitally supportive web of menswear stores (in this case). I have made it my mission to sound the alarm about the repercussions when vendors chip away at the pillars on which they’ve built their brands by entering into direct competition with their retail partners. I admire Tommy Bahama’s operations. Their stores are beautiful, are always immaculately maintained, and they remove any problematic products immediately. Their restaurants are nice and serve good food. Their website is attractive and efficient. I would be hard-pressed to find a better partner company. After twenty-four years, they are still my number one. Imagine the loss to Tommy Bahama when Carson’s closed its stores nationwide. Conversely, if Tommy Bahama fails, it is a serious problem for me. I need them to flourish. So as a partner with a big stake in the result, I urge strategies which preserve their viability beyond the lure of direct-toconsumer sales. Weakening the web of independent retail networks through direct-selling, will, in the long run, hurt everyone involved; the manufactures, the retailers, and the customers. Keep those distressing repercussions in mind when you consider purchasing products directly which can be acquired locally. We’re not just an extension of the brands we sell, we provide a pleasant shopping experience by professionally representing our brands so that you may see, feel, and try on the clothes before you buy. We explain the garment’s care and fit and style, and we become your point place for any issues that may arise. You cannot get that kind of personal care and special treatment when you order direct. Plus, when you buy from us, a far greater percentage of your purchase stays in the local economy and benefits everyone. As you can see, touch, and feel in your hearts, there’s lots to love about shopping locally!

New Starbucks is a Double Shot of Success in Riverview On July 23rd, Starbucks celebrated with an official ribbon cutting ceremony at a new location on the corner of Fort Street and Pennsylvania in Riverview. The grand opening was sponsored by the Southern Wayne County Regional Chamber of Commerce and their president, Ron Heinrichs and his staff. Starbucks is a Seattlebased coffeehouse chain known for its signature roasts, light bites, WiFi availability, and of course its beverages served both hot and cold. This location includes a Drive-Thru, which for many residents, as well as others traveling southbound on Fort Street, is a welcome addition to the Riverview Center, currently open under construction as it receives an updated façade. Nick Monak, is a Riverview graduate, and the General Manager of this Starbucks location. In accordance with company policy, Nick is not permitted to speak with the press, however, he seemed delighted to be serving his former hometown. His staff was friendly, well trained, and have already developed a rapport with customers who visit the store regularly, some daily. Most Riverview residents agree that Starbucks is a nice addition to the city’s bevy of businesses. A new business to the city brings in people from other cities, making this Starbucks a Riverview success.
