Father Leo Lulko, age 73, pastor of the Church of the Holy Spirit in-Highland, died Sunday, May 26. Father Leo

became the Pastor of Church of the Holy Spirit in May of 1980 and served in that capacity for 33 years. He was well known in West Oakland County as a warm and gentle man with a lively sense of

humor and deep faith. Leo was born in Detroit on March 5, 1940 and grew up in Redford where his parents owned and operated a small grocery store, Leo’s Market. He moved to the Highland area to accept the assignment as the sec-ond pastor of Church of the Holy Spirit after the sudden death of its first pastor, Father John Howard.

Father Leo is survived by his sister Barbara (David) VanHel-lemont; nieces, Debora (Steven) Marsh, Dionne (Joseph) Wetzel,

Darice (James) Hoffman, Julie VanHellemont and Mary (Thom-as) McCarley; nephews, David Lulko and Donald (Darla) Lulko and many great and great-great nieces and nephews. He was pre-ceded in death by his father Leo Lulko Sr, mother Mary Lulko and brother Richard. Visitation will be held on Wednesday and Thursday from 1 – 8 p.m. in the Church of the Holy Spirit. The Men’s Club and Knights of Co-lumbus will lead prayers at 7:30

p.m. on Wednesday evening, with The Women’s Club leading prayers at 7:30 p.m. on Thurs-day evening. The Mass of the Res-urrection will be on first Friday, June 1 at 11 a.m. with visitation before the Mass from 9 – 11 a.m.

Lynch and Sons in Milford is handling the arrangements. In-formation will be posted on www.lynchfuneraldirectors.com and the church website www.holy-spirithighland.com

Walled Lake was presented a ray of sunshine that could bright-en the future among the dark clouds of budget deficits and pos-sible layoffs.

On May 21, at Walled Lake’s City Council meeting, Val-erie Kemp, DDA Urban Design Committee member and commu-nity leader behind the art projects that have come into Walled Lake, presented the idea to City Coun-cil to cultivate economic develop-ment activity in Walled Lake by taking advantage of the Michigan Public Act 501 of 2006, Redevel-opment Liquor Licenses.

Through the provisions of Public Act 501, the Liquor Con-trol Commission (LCC) may issue new public on-premises liquor licenses to local units of government. The LCC may issue public on-premises licenses in addition to those quota licenses allowed in cities under section 531 of the Michigan Liquor Con-trol Code.

Under the act, to apply, a busi-

ness must either be located in ei-ther a business district or in a city redevelopment area. Businesses must be engaged in dining, en-

tertainment or recreation and be open to the general public at least 10 hours a day, five days per week; have a seating capacity of at least 25 people; have spent at least $75,000 for the rehabilitation or restoration of the building where the license will be housed over a period of the preceding five years;

and more. Kemp reached out to a neigh-

boring community, the city of Brighton, which is a success story

that took advantage of this initia-tive, to help present the idea to the DDA (on May 14.) The DDA then voted to present the idea to City Council. Matt Modrack, DDA Director for the City of Brighton, and Lauri French, Deputy Direc-tor of Community Development, Planning and Zoning for the

City of Brighton, came forth to help present the opportunity to Walled Lake’s City Council.

After the City of Brighton be-came the second city in the state to receive a redevelopment liquor license, the city has experienced $18,000,000 of new and rede-velopment growth over the past seven years. Their population has also increased by 1,500.

“We want to replicate what the City of Brighton has done,” Kemp said. “This is a perfect opportuni-ty to take advantage of this initia-tive and transform Walled Lake to that city people want to come visit to enjoy a walk around the lake, a beautiful sunset and some shopping and dining.”

“Walled Lake has a better as-set, the lake, and the surround-ing demographics, that City of Brighton doesn’t have.” Modrack said. “It could be a similar or bet-ter success story.”

Walled Lake Considers Redevelopment Liquor Licenses to Foster City Growth

“This is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of

this initiative and transform Walled Lake”

“The following are excepts from a interview with Highland resident and missionary, Carol Stokes”

You have been working as a missionary for over 15 years. Can you tell me about that?

“I work with New Tribes Mission; I have been with them full-time since 1996. I’ve worked over in Papua, New Guinea since 2000. In 1987 I went to bi-ble school and in 1989 I went to missionary training to work overseas. I had to step out, so I stayed in the Milford area for six or seven years and then I went back into training. I’ve been pursuing it for a long time. I am a registered nurse. I graduated from LPN nursing school in 1974. Over 30 years I have been a nurse, even before I started with the mission.”

Why did you begin working as a missionary?

“The lord told me to. I had a Sunday school teacher that was a missionary in China, and it just seems that the lord was leading me that way. I know it sounds kind of funny but I don’t know what else to think about it other than that.”

You have been working in Papua, New Guin-ea since 2000. What other countries have you traveled to for mission work?

“I’ve been to Mexico and I’ve been to Columbia, but those were just short-term trips for six weeks or so.”

You leave for your next mission trip in Papua on June 25. What kinds of work will you be doing?

“I will be working in the medical clinic there.

We have our own clinic. The infrastructure of that country is quite inadequate, so we had to set up our own health care system with nurses and doctors. It’s a family practice and emergency room. We do every-thing. We take care of our own missionaries and oth-er mission groups that come to us. Forty percent of our clients are the national people.”

What will your schedule be like when you arrive?

“Before I was working in the islands clinic and I managed that myself. I would be on call 24/7. But I will work 3-4 days a week and then have a day off to go to town. You need at least one day off.”

What is the experience like and how do you think it has changed you?

“It’s quite different of course. We have a lot of resources that they don’t have there. They don’t have nice stores or shopping malls; there are not many roads. How has it changed me? I look at the world differently because there is such need. In the states we have a lot and we take it for granted a lot of times. Knowing there are people in need gives me a bigger perspective and also helps me to build my faith.”

You will be in Papua for 3-4 years before you return back to the United States. How long will you have, when you return, before your next trip?

“About a year. You are supposed to have nine months off if you are gone three years. I usually stay a little longer because I have to give a year’s commit-ment to work and it just takes a little longer.”

How much longer do you plan on continuing your mission work overseas?

‘Hopefully another year and then we’ll see how it goes.”

My Weight Loss Program Works.The key is to discover why you are struggling with weight. Until you restore proper physiology you will continue to struggle . Are your fat storing/fat burning hormones working correctly? Your Thyroid runs your metabolism are you hypothyroid or autoimmune thyroid? If so you will never be successful on any program until that is fixed. There is a reason why you lose weight and put it all back. Do you struggle with weight loss no matter what you do? There is a reason and I will show you what it is at my seminar. There are many weight loss programs, 90 % of them fail!

If you are over weight you are most likely unhealthy and you may already be dealing with type 2 diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure , hypothyroidism, joint pain, fatigue and more. It’s time to take responsibility and take care of yourself, the longer you wait the worse it will get. No magic drugs or potions will do this for you. I can help you, your job is to get to my seminar.

THIS SEMINAR WILL FILL UP VERY QUICKLY SO CALL TODAY! CALL 248-912-2962 TO RESERVE A SEAT.

Last year we helped so many people lose weight and regain their health. This year we can make it happen for you. Our patients not only lose weight they keep it off. Listen to what some of the patients from Last year have to say.

I lost 40 lbs last year and kept every pound off, I can do things now that would leave me exhausted before. Ellen S. Oxford.

I’ve tried every program, I gained weight on weight watchers program, this is the first time in years that I was able to lose weight. We discovered the reason and I feel great. Anne Marie, B Waterford

I attended your weight loss seminar and was worried that my fibromyalgia was a problem. I’ve lost 25 lbs and more importantly my fibromyalgia symptoms are gone. No more pain no more Cymbalta. -Laura C.

When I started your program I was 300lbs, I had no energy to anything I was constantly tired. I have lost 60 lbs and am now able to take care of my house and family. Thank-you. K . Ayer

I lost a total of 70lbs, my blood sugar improved so much that my doctor took me off my medication. -Barb M

I came to you because I felt horrible and could never lose any weight. We discovered that I had an autoimmune thyroid problem. I finally started losing weight and feel the best I’ve ever felt. -Jennifer C

If you enjoy writing and photog-raphy then we would like to have you join our team of community journal-ists. There are a plethora of great things happening in the area that our readers need to know about. Maybe you en-

joy local government, are an avid high school sports fan, or maybe you’re in-volved in a community organization that works to make this area a better place to live and work. Spinal Column Editor Ali Armstrong wants to hear from you.

Passion, enthusiasm and reliability are just as important as your writing and photo skills. Our goal is to make the Spinal Column a true community resource both online and in print.

Life Planning - Or Death Planning?

Most people think of estate plan-ning as death planning...and, for most, that is exactly what it is. But have you ever considered what good estate planning can do for you during life? You might be surprised.

For example, providing instruc-tions about what to do with you (your person) during an illness or a period of incapacity can ensure that your care is what you want and ex-pect it to be. Similarly, providing instructions about your financial matters can ensure that your bills are paid, your health care is provid-ed for, and your family can navigate through these matters with the least amount of stress and expense. To ensure this happens, it is important

that you give le-gal per-mi s s ion to others for this via proper estate planning documents. If you don’t, very often the only way your loved ones can do these things for you is by obtaining court permission, which may be very costly.

The costs of failing to plan can be more than monetary, however. Failing to plan can result in stress, family fighting, and poor care as a result of the inability of your trusted loved ones to make concrete deci-sions because they aren’t exactly sure what you want. Planning for life is an act of love!

In December 2012, DMC Hu-ron Valley-Sinai Hospital invest-ed in one of the newest, most

innovative tools in orthopedic surgery. After more than 30 years of repairing arthritic joints and helping patients get back to life before the pain, my practice took a new turn.

Medical advancements are always occurring as health care innovators continue to develop new techniques in patient care, but one advancement al-ways thought to be the future is now: robotics. Worldwide, less than two per-

cent of surgeries are performed with the assistance of a robot. I am lucky enough to be at a hospital progressive enough to allow me to be in the forefront of joint replacement with the purchase of a MAKOplasty robotic system.

The MAKOplasty RIO is the tool used to aid the replacement of the ar-thritic compartment of the knee. In approximately half the patients requir-ing knee replacement, the arthritis is confined to only one of the three com-partments. What RIO allows me to now do is precisely replace only the diseased compartment. This allows the surgery to be done through a small incision with-out cutting any muscle, which makes for an easier, less painful recovery and a rapid return to an active lifestyle.

The Mako RIO robot doesn’t replace the surgeon. Robotic technology simply provides orthopedic surgeons with the benefit of computer-generated preci-

sion. No more are the days of jigs and eyeballing to get a partial knee resurfac-ing procedure to fit. Using a CT scan to make a 3-D model of the patient’s knee, a virtual prosthesis can be sized and placed precisely before we step into the operating room. The robotic arm then is used in surgery to prepare the bone based on the plan developed before sur-gery so that the knee is balanced and stable throughout the entire range of motion and the components are aligned perfectly.

What it’s meant for the hospital is in-novation; what it’s meant for the patient is outcomes. In my first 36 MAKOplas-ty patients, 34 left the hospital the day after surgery. Most have carried their canes strolling into their two-week check-up appointment. You hear the “minimally invasive” term used a lot in health care advertising and service pro-motions. Although this surgery is mini-

mally invasive, what matters more to us is minimal complication. The more ac-curate your procedure, the faster your recovery, the less chance your implant will wear and loosen, the better your range of motion will be and the more likely you are to truly have a natural feeling knee so you can get back to the activities you love and an overall im-proved quality of life.

At the end of the day, MAKOplasty is simply one more tool that enables our orthopedic team at DMC to provide what we always strive to provide: im-mediate access to the finest, most effec-tive care. You don’t wait in our ERs, why should you wait to get back to the active lifestyle you’ve left behind because of joint and muscle pain?

Wixom -Armed Robbery Alert At approximately 11 p.m. on May 20, Wixom police were dispatched to the area of Thornwood Street to inves-tigate an armed robbery. Wixom offi-cers were assisted by the Walled Lake Police Department, the Wolverine Lake Police Department as well as the Oak-land County Sheriff ’s Office. It was reported that two males in their late teens forcibly entered an apartment and demanded money from the victim. When the victim told the suspects he had no money, they as-saulted him. A third male then entered the apartment and pointed, what was believed to be, a long gun at the victim. The suspects stole an undisclosed piece of property from the victim and fled the scene on foot. One of the suspects is described as a short, clean-shaven black male with a dark complexion and a “buzz cut.” An-other was described as a slightly taller, clean shaven black male with a lighter complexion and curly afro. The third suspect, the gunman, was described as a black male with collar-length dread-locks. The case remains under investiga-tion. Anyone with information on these suspects should contact the Wixom Po-lice Detective Bureau at 248-624-6114. Anonymous can also be submitted by calling the anonymous tips police line at 248-624-0884.

A LEIN check revealed multiple warrants, multiple current suspensions and an expired license. The officer initiated overhead lights and pulled the vehicle over. Dis-patch advised that the Novi Police De-partment would pick up the suspect, who was placed under arrest for driv-ing while license suspended. The ve-hicle was impounded and suspect was released to Novi police.

Wixom – Damage to Property Wixom police were dispatched to Tamarack Drive for possible malicious damage of property. Upon arrival, offi-cer spoke with complainant who stated that between 12:55 a.m. and 1 a.m. her dog began to bark because of outside noise.

Peeking In The Past: 50 Years Ago…

The following news excerpts were gathered from past issues of the “Spinal Column”

Cass Lake Scene Of Tragedy On June 27 1963, eight-year-old

David Ballard of Berkley drowned at Dodge Park #4 on Cass Lake. The Oak-land County Sheriff ’s Department stat-ed that David’s two older brothers were also swimming in the area. David was near the shore playing in about three feet of water when the two boys came

in and left him playing. Authorities said David was missing around 4 p.m. but it was not reported to police until 6:15 p.m. Henry Hanson, a diver for the Oakland County Sheriff ’s Depart-ment, finally recovered David’s body in approximately 20 feet of water.

Two Boys Find Body On July 2, 1963 Dennis Blaharski

and Greg Murphy, both of Plymouth, had a terrible experience at the Novi Township Park. The boys had come to the park to go swimming, and while walking along the swim area the boys discovered the body of eight-year-old Larry Kellums. The boys ran to the ranger who was on duty to report what they had found. It was discov-ered that Larry’s mother and seven other brothers and sisters were at the park swimming and having lunch. His mother did not realize that he was missing until his body was found. Lar-ry was a non-swimmer and is believed to have wandered back into the water after eating. This incident marked the eleventh drowning case in the area since the beginning of summer.

Fire Caused By Arson On August 11, 1963 at 3 a.m. the

Walled Lake Fire Department received an alarm. They arrived at the Decker Heights subdivision and had the fire out within five minutes. Looking over the house, which was not completed yet, the fire department noticed defi-nite signs of arson. Several suspects were given to them and the Fire Mar-shall was called in. It is believed that this fire was tied in with several others in the area.

Stolen Goods Recovered On August 22, 1963 the individ-

uals who broke in to Cliff ’s Drive-In on August 5, and Six Lakes Grocery on August 9 were apprehended. There were four people involved. Two sus-pects were juveniles; one suspect was 17 years old and the other 20 years old. Officer Carl of the White Lake police took the first report of the miss-

ing items and began covering White Lake Township looking for evidence. He located some of the goods stowed down a back lane off the township. Af-ter questioning various suspects, the whereabouts of more of the goods was disclosed.

Incinerator Starts Fire At Walled Lake Junior High

On Wednesday, August 21, 1963. The boiler room at Walled Lake Junior High School caught fire. The Walled Lake Fire Department received the call at 5:32 p.m. They stated that the cause of the fire was improper use of the gas incinerator. The building suffered only minor smoke damage. It took fireman an hour to clear the building of smoke.

Three Local Robberies In One Night

A series of robberies have been tak-ing place throughout the area. Knights Auto Supply, Commerce Hardware and Glengary Elementary were all broken into on August 20, 1963. It is believed by the Oakland County Sherriff ’s Pa-trol that the same suspects committed all of the robberies. At Knight’s Auto Supply, suspects stole approximately $5 from the cash register as well as a tes-ter. At Commerce Hardware approxi-mately $5.25 was taken. Tools from the working construction company were stolen from Glengary Elementary. The amount of items stolen remains un-known.

Southeast Michigan is quickly be-coming a hot spot for film production. Detroit has been used as a setting and filming location for many Hollywood feature films, as well as television series.

Films like “8 Mile,” “Whip It,” “Scream 4,” “Gran Torino” and more are amongst the list of feature films that have been filmed in Southeast Michi-gan.

And now to add to the list, “The Wicked.”

A film produced by Commerce Twp. resident Couni Young, “The Wicked” follows a group of teenagers who decide to seek out their town’s local legend and hunt a child-eating witch.

“It’s about a bunch of teenagers just testing local legends. Everybody has a story about a haunted house on their street and that’s what this is,” Young said. “We wanted to make a movie in our state, close to our home, with our people, using Michigan crews and Michigan money. We wanted to make this a Michigan film.”

Production began on the film in June 2011. Scenes were filmed in the communities of Holly, Clarkston, Commerce and White Lake.

The haunted house? A rumored to be haunted house on Hill Road in White Lake.

“The story I want to tell is how the community rallied to help me out,” Young said. “Shuman Chrysler in Walled Lake gave me cars, the White lake Police Department gave me police cars, Star EMS gave me two ambulanc-es, Paula Tutman from Local 4 came out and played the role of the reporter. Michigan came out and showed up for

me. They gave me whatever I wanted to make my dream come true and for me that is really what it’s all about.”

Originally from Chicago, Young moved to Michigan 18 years ago. She began working as a trauma nurse for the Detroit Medical Center.

Young was introduced to the film industry by her brother-in-law, an L.A.-based writer and director. She be-gan working as a seamstress for a cos-tume designer on the television show “Desperate Housewives.”

“My grandmother was a pattern cutter…so I spent my entire child-hood watching my grandmother create patterns, cut patterns and make gar-ments,” Young said. “I had never done it for movies, I had no desire, but it came so naturally.”

Young worked as a costume de-signer for eight years before she decid-ed to produce her first film.

“I worked for a female producer who told me that I had skills that could take me beyond being a costume de-signer,” Young said. “So I decided to take a chance and I bought a script.”

“The Wicked” was released to lim-ited theatres before it was released on DVD April 30.

Young is already planning a sequel to “The Wicked,” she is also in the pro-cess of developing two more new films, one which will begin production in December.

“I have one script that is almost ready…it’s a Christmas movie that is rated G,” Young said. “It is going to be a Christmas story about a woman who grew up in Michigan, moved away and forgot who she was and is coming home to get grounded.”

“The Wicked” is available for rent on Redbox, iTunes, Xbox and for pur-chase on Best Buy online.

The deadline is nearing for Oak-land County dog license purchases. Pet owners need to have purchased their 2013 license by June 1 to avoid delin-quent fees.

Discounted prices for dog licenses are available until June 1 and prices are as follows: $7.50 for a one-year dog li-cense on a spayed or neutered dog; $15 for a one-year dog license on an unal-tered dog; $22.50 for a three-year li-cense on a spayed or neutered dog; $45 for a three-year license on an unaltered dog. A 25 percent discount is also of-fered to senior citizens.

“After June 1 the dog licenses are $30 regardless of if your dog is spayed or neutered or if you are a senior cit-izen,” Joanie Toole, administrative su-pervisor at the Oakland County Pet Adoption Center said.

Dog licenses are available for pur-chase at a discounted price beginning in December. They can be purchased at

any municipality as well as participat-ing veterinarians as well as the Oakland County Adoption Center in Auburn Hills. Licenses can also be purchased online at www.oakgov.com/petadop-tion

A record of current rabies vacci-nations are required for a license to be purchased.

Michigan state law requires that all dogs four months and older be li-censed. If a dog is found un-licensed, owners may face up to a $100 ticket.

“I know a lot of people are strug-gling right now and they just can’t af-ford that extra money,” Toole said. “We just want people to get their dog licensed before they get socked with that $30.”

Oakland County Pet Adoption will also be leading a countywide census starting June 1. Employees of the center will be checking residences to ensure dogs are properly licensed.

Waterford Montessori Academy, a public charter school authorized by Saginaw Valley State University and managed by American Montessori Solutions Inc., will open in September 2013, providing a proven educational alternative to the children and families of Waterford and neighboring commu-nities.

Located at 4860 Midland Avenue, the academy will initially offer tui-tion-free programs for kindergarten through grade 3, an affordable tui-

tion-based preschool program for 3, 4 and young 5 year olds, and before and after-school care. One grade will be added each year beginning in Septem-ber 2014, and the school will eventual-ly serve students in preschool through grade 8.

Montessori recognizes that chil-dren learn in different ways and at their own pace. It is a hands-on approach to learning, which is implemented world-wide and is meant to benefit every child, regardless of their background or

affluence. In the multi-age classrooms, there is a focus on respect and partner-ship, and children learn naturally and in harmony with one another.

The Montessori preschool class-room is a “prepared environment” with furniture and materials that are scaled to fit a preschooler’s physical dimensions. The Montessori elemen-tary environment balances the child’s developing imagination and powers of abstraction with down-to-earth con-crete, hands-on materials.

The mission of Waterford Montes-sori Academy is to assist its students to reach their full potential in all areas of life, while promoting academic rigor, moral leadership and personal respon-sibility.

To learn more about Waterford Montessori Academy, its programs, curriculum, and for enrollment infor-mation, please contact the academy’s office at 248-674-2400.

Lower fares on the Highland Town-ship/Milford Village/Milford Township SMART bus have caused ridership to double since lower fares took effect on April 5, according the Highland Town-ship Supervisor Rick Hamill.

In early April, Hamill took it upon himself to personally commit the mon-ey necessary to reduce the $8 round trip fares to $4. Residents who use the SMART bus had complained the public bus rates were too high, especially for those people on low fixed incomes.

Hamill is pleased that residents have responded favorably to the low-er fares and are using the SMART bus more frequently.

“Residents voiced their concerns, particularly those that use the SMART bus, that the $8 round trip cost was a financial burden, especially for peo-ple that needed to use the SMART bus multiple times each week. Lowering the fares has propelled more residents to use SMART, which makes lowering

the fares feasible,” stated Hamill during a Friday interview with the Spinal Col-umn.

The favorable feedback from res-idents using the bus during the past six weeks has made an impact on at least one local organization. The High-land Adult Activity Advisory Board (HAAAB) has committed $1,000 in matching funds to encourage others to raise a similar amount.

The local SMART four-member committee was hesitant to lower the fares, voicing concerns that lower fares would reduce bus revenue. Hamill, who has the responsibility for manag-ing the day-to-day SMART operation, initially ordered the fares lowered by half, but two weeks later committed to personal money to pay the difference in fares if the increase in ridership did not materialize.

Hamill, who has been an advocate for lowering the SMART fares, is con-fident that local individuals and busi-nesses will contribute the needed addi-tional $1,000 in order to maximize the HAAAB $1,000 matching funds offer. HAAAB’s $1,000 contribution is avail-

able only if other donations are raised. “I am confident our local com-

munity will come together to contrib-ute the $1,000 we need. We listened to those who wanted lower fares, and they have subsequently followed through by promoting the $4 round trip fare to se-

nior citizens and others that need the SMART bus,” said Hamill.

Whether the fares stay at the lower $4 round trip price will depend on the higher ridership totals and other con-tributions to keep the fares at reduced prices.

to Keep Fares At The Current Reduced PriceBY JIM STEVENSON

Favorable feedback from residents using the SMART bus has made an impact on the Highland Adult Activity Center Advisory Board. The board has committed to $1,000 in matching funds to keep bus fares at a reduced price.

StS Active in Highland to Celebrate Grand Opening June 1Health care professionals are united in

their advice to people of all ages: person-al fitness is vital to improving health. One new local business is helping residents of all ages with exercise programs focused on building strength, energy, cardio and af-fordable customized fitness programs.

According to owner Stephen Gauthier, STS Active is a new wave in fitness training. The new Highland Township business of-fers group and individual fitness programs, sports training classes, personal training and much more.

STS Active is celebrating their official grand opening Saturday, June 1 at their 3,200 square foot facility located at 2825 East Highland Road, at the corner of Duck Lake and M-59. There will be free class demonstrations, contests, prize giveaways and raffles benefiting Special Olympics

with refreshments, entertainment and much more! During the open house, STS Active is offering 10 percent off all training packages.

“We’re excited about opening up our new business in Highland, providing a wide range of fitness programs for teen-age athletes to retirees, and everyone in between,” Gauthier said. “STS Active is a unique training facility that brings fun and motivation back into fitness. We encourage people to come in to view our facility and find out how easy it is to get into a fitness program that meets their individual needs.”

Gauthier graduated from Adrian Col-lege with a bachelor’s in Exercise Science. Following college Gauthier worked for a national chain fitness center as a personal trainer for the past four years. His personal training experience led to an awareness of

the need for a more functional and dynam-ic training facility in the area; a facility that could offer more than a gym membership and personal training.

STS Active is able to offer great afford-able service for any age and fitness level. Class options include yoga, zumba, kick-boxing, suspension training, boot camps, body pump classes, TRX Rip training, youth training and customized personal programs. STS Active also specializes in corrective exercise programs; helping to rehab injuries such as upper/lower back pain and various joint pain issues through the use of advanced stabilization training techniques. STS Active has programs for athletes of all ages.

The staff of STS Active has extensive background in health and fitness, with all trainers holding national certifications in

personal training, CPR/AED certifications, along with many specialized certifications in fitness training.

For more information call 248-714-5667 or visit their website at www.stsactive.com. Hours: Monday-Friday 8 a.m. – 9 p.m., Saturday 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. and Sunday by appointment.

Thunder is expected on Walled Lake on June 8 and 9. Todd McQuade, event organizer/director of Walled Lake Thunder, is pleased to announce the col-laboration of Bayside Sports Grille, Shuman Chrys-ler-Dodge-Jeep-Ram and the American Power Boat Association (APBA) to once again host the hydro-plane boat races for the sixth year on Walled Lake.

This annual event started in 2008. Walled Lake has some of the smoothest water in the country mak-ing it one of the best courses for hydroplane races. Walled Lake Thunder offers 60,000 square feet of entertainment allowing spectators to get right in the middle of the race intensity. Visitors cannot only see the thunder, they can hear the thunder roar!

During Walled Lake Thunder, 54 male drivers and six female drivers will compete for the grand prize. Boat types range from “Y” class to “Grand Na-

tional Hydro.” The “Y” class uses an 11 cc jet ski mo-tor capable of speeds up to 110 mph. The “Grand Na-tional Hydro” uses a Chevy seven-liter engine capable of speeds up to 180 mph.

There are six classes competing for first, second place and third place rankings. This year’s event will feature many new boats racing for the first time.

Many local area residents will be represented at this year’s race with 27 local racers in the vintage group. The local boats competition will have 10 local boats representing in the s l t.

The event begins at 9 a.m. ending at approximate-ly at 6 p.m. Viewing the races from Mercier Beach is free, as well as grand stand seating. Race fans may purchase pit passes for $10 each. While in the pits, visitors may get a chance to visit with race teams, ask for an autograph and more.

Bayside Sports Grille will be offering a variety of food and drinks. Special V.I.P. seating (with R.S.V.P) is available for $200.

“Walled Lake was the perfect place for our race, a downtown area on the water is just what we were

looking for,” says McQuade. “Walled Lake has opened their arms to us and we really appreciate their con-tinued support. We are thankful to all the residents, Bayside, Shuman Chrysler, the mayor, City Council, DPW, the Police department and all their volunteers. Mark your calendars, bring the whole family down for a fun filled day of excitement.”

Walled Lake Drive, between Liberty Street and Leon, will be closed during the two-day event.

Walled Lake Thunder will come to the area June 8 and 9. The event will feature 60 hydroplanes competing for a grand prize.

Many local residents will also be showcased during the event. Twenty-seven local racers will compete in the vintage group, and 10 local boats will be competing in the boats competition.


St. Catherine of Siena Academy is an all-girls Catholic high school in Wixom. We started in 2010 in a temporary facility with a freshman class of 11 students. We broke ground on our state-of-the-art fa-cility the same day classes started in 2010. We moved to our new facility in 2011 with freshman and sopho-mores. We currently have 92 students in three classes: freshman, sophomore, and juniors. We are growing every year and will have our first graduating class in 2014. This year was the first year for several varsity teams at the school. Softball has been our biggest suc-cess.

Coach Bob Green has been building the softball program since last year. Green did not have enough players for a JV team last year and was recruiting stu-dents on the go. After adding three more players to the team, St. Catherine of Siena Academy was finally able to have a JV team that went on to win the Cath-olic High School League Championship JV Division in 2012.

This year, the program grew to include a varsity team. This was the first year we were able to have a varsity level sport. The Siena stars won the Catholic League CD Division with an impressive 11-1 record. Some of the key wins were against Cranbrook and Fr. Gabriel Richard in Ann Arbor.

The Siena Starts team includes three all-cath-olic winners: Mary Green (junior;) Allie Barsh (ju-nior;) and Emily Nowka (junior;) and three All-League winners: Bridget Dewan (sophomore;) Kerry

Prowse (sophomore;) and Genna Skalski (freshman;) and all-academic winner: Erin Gries (sophomore.) It also includes Bob Green, coach of the year.
