  • Lawrence Oberti, 92, fought in World War II.He and more than 60 fellow military veterans from all

    eras gathered at Jefferson Middle School Monday morning for what is quickly becoming a treasured tra-dition in the community.

    This is so wonderful to see everyone feel the way they do, Oberti said. To honor people like me like this is just wonderful.

    The JMS Veterans Day breakfast serves up a morn-ing meal for veterans and the students who invited them to honor their service with an event that includes students speeches, a student-produced video and an applause-filled parade through the hallways of Jefferson Middle School.

    The Veterans Day breakfast began as an idea that developed through out PTO meeting, said Principal David Lavendar. Through those meetings we devel-oped this event. Its our way to pay honor and tribute to those who risked and sacrificed their lives for our free-

    dom. We are the home of the Patriots and doing some-thing like this is the right thing to do and were hon-ored.

    Oberti was moved not only by the work that went into

    They came from all over the Metro Detroit area.I drove from Livonia just for this, Sam Cutter said.

    And Im thinking right now it was the best decision Ive made in a long time.

    Cutter was one of hundreds to follow the scent trail to Lakeland Banquet Center last Thursday evening for Chili Wars VI.

    The annual event benefits the citys Cops For Kids program and teases the tastebuds of patrons who crave the culinary delight.

    For me its euphoria, Cameron Bronson said. Everywhere I turn, more chili for me to sample. I love it.

    More than 36 chili chefs concocted chili recipes ranging from Fire-Engine Hot, to white chicken chili.

    Should it stay or should it go? Or should it shift its direction?

    Each option has its benefits and drawbacks, members of the Tax Increment Finance Authority said at a re-cent meeting.

    For several years, the board has been eyeing Blossom Heath Park for updates and more recently land there has been targeted for a boutique hotel. The lat-ter, however, is impos-sible unless residents agree to open it and all city parks to non-resi-dents, assuming a de-veloper and investor

    can be found.When the entity was

    created in 1987, the in-tent was to improve the area known as the Nautical Mile, the east side of Jefferson rough-ly bounded by 9 and 10 mile roads. Funding for improvements comes from the additional tax-es gained by the in-creased tax value of properties in the project area. Instead of going into the city and coun-tys coffers, it is set aside to finance addi-tional upgrades. The TIFA board also has the authority to borrow against anticipated cap-tured taxes.

    It is keeping those

    county taxes TIFA Chairman Richard Widgren is eyeing as a major benefit to keep-ing the entity going.

    As long as we exist, we have financial re-sources available to the city that we wouldnt have, he said at the boards Nov. 7 meeting during which he sug-gested ending the TIFA, getting behind a big project or changing the boards focus to main-taining previous proj-ects and upgrading Blossom Heath Park.

    Widgren said TIFA currently has about $600,000 in its coffers with about $100,000 coming in annually.

    However, he objected to TIFA being the finan-cial resource to promote city events, such as the Aqua Freeze Festival, the Venetian Festival and the bass fishing tournament.

    Somehow somebody other than just us has to feel the pride and want to do something. I dont want to be the piata thats always giving the money and nobody else is pitching in, he said.

    Should the entity con-tinue to exist, member Tim Johnson suggested the board determine which activities it will support and consider

    See TIFA, page 2A

  • giving each the same amount.

    I think we can afford it in our budget, he said, adding, Weve got to get these businesses and the rest of the com-munity to jump in on this.

    City Manager Phil Ludos, a voting board member, suggested agreeing on a long term projection.

    When you look at most of these taxing au-thorities that have been (created) most are going to the wayside, he said.

    Its hard for me to turn my back on it, Widgren said of TIFA. As for supporting city events, he said, we want to get some kind of an outcome.

    I would prefer to have a bigger project, Widgren added prior to listing a number of maintenance projects that need to be done, in-

    cluding repairs to tree grates, light posts and brick pavers along Jefferson.

    Widgren however would still like to see a hotel built on the Blossom Heath proper-ty. He shared he person-ally knows the develop-er of the hotel in Royal Oak and plans to find out if he has interest in a St. Clair Shores project.

    Ludos, however, indi-cated much needs to be done before such a proj-ect can come to fruition, including passing a resi-dent referendum allow-ing the citys parks to no longer be residents on-ly.

    I dont think that will float, he said. I dont know how much sup-port youll get out of council on it. Certainly the site could accommo-date, but it would have to be voted on.

    Widgren said with the hotel would come other benefits to residents, in-cluding going forward with plans to create a

    walkway through the park, redo landscaping and fill in the lagoon, constructing a commu-nity center and improv-ing waterfront access.

    The economics are there for that, he said. We dont know what the community is going to do until they get a chance to do it.

    Of the park, Widgren said, its nothing more than a drain on city re-sources to make it look ratty at best.

    We need to aggres-sively pursue keeping the Nautical Mile up as long as we can and put the money to work to keep that area of the city up. If we cant do either of those, we need to pull the plug, he said.

    M e m b e r J o e Claycomb, however, said hed like to see the money spent on the park, including replac-ing the restrooms, im-proving water circula-tion in the lagoon, re-storing the fishing pier and Blossom Heath Inn.

    The basement and second floor are in a shambles, he said.

    Widgren said hed pursue quotes from re-storers.

    putting on such an event, but also by the response from the student body at the school.

    I am surprised by how welcoming and wonderful the students are, Oberti ex-plained. You dont see much about it in the papers anymore and it was a very long time ago. We are kind of the forgot-ten bunch. But these kids know, they havent forgotten and that is wonderful to see for someone like me.

    Educating the students on more than just the timeline of military history is im-portant to Lavendar and the entire staff at the school.

    I think its very important that we help to instill in our students respect and re-sponsibility, he said. So that they can grow to become global citizens. This year we tried to take this event a step further and connect it even more to the students. We did a fundraiser, `Jeans for Vets and well be donating over $1,000 to the VFW Bruce Post and then we also implement-ed an essay contest, What Does Patriotism Mean to Me?

    The students participated in this through their social studies class. Then we selected three students to share their essay with the veterans this morning. Schools can help to strengthen a com-munity and thats what we are striving to do here.

    The North American International Auto Show 2014 26th Annual Poster Contest is underway in connection with its January event in Detroit.

    The contest was estab-lished to engage the cre-ative minds of Michigan students and encourage careers in automotive de-sign while recognizing lo-cal artists for their tal-ents. In 2013, NAIAS re-ceived 645 entries from 69 high schools.

    The contest is open to Michigan residents en-rolled in grades 10 through 12. An indepen-dent panel of recognized representatives from the local art community judge the contest and se-lect winners in 16 catego-ries.

    The purpose of this competition is to allow art students in Michigan schools an opportunity to create art related to the automotive industry, said Bob Shuman, chair-man, NAIAS 2014. We want to showcase their talent at the NAIAS and recognize them for their efforts and achieve-ments.

    Winning posters are displayed at NAIAS 2014 and reproduced in the of-ficial NAIAS program available to the public. Winning posters may al-so be displayed on naias.com.

    Posters must be origi-nal artwork, 25-by-21 inches in size, two-di-mensional and camera ready. The poster theme

    must be automotive relat-ed and any mixed media suitable for reproduction as a poster is allowed, in-cluding computer-gener-ated graphics. All subject matter must be in good taste.

    Posters must contain all of the following copy: NAIAS 2014, Detroit and Cobo Center.

    The entry deadline is Friday, Nov. 22.

    Posters may, but are not required, to include reference to the 25th an-niversary of NAIAS, cele-brated at the 2014 show.

  • For about one hour every quarter, business owners, city officials, city committee and or-ganization members gather to discuss whats going on in the city of St. Clair Shores.

    Known as the St. Clair Shores Business Alliance, an arm of the M a c o m b C o u n t y Chamber of Commerce, the group was formed to keep members abreast of what each other have done and plan to do in the com-munity.

    You cannot be bored in the city unless you try, alliance chair Mark OBrien said after hear-ing updates from mem-bers.

    Aqua Freeze Festival co-chairs Geri Hofman and Linda Bologna shared progress the group is making on cre-ating the first winter

    festival to be held in the city.

    The three-day event runs from Feb. 21-23

    and takes place at Blossom Heath Park. Activities include vari-ous forms of entertain-

    ment from music to ice skating demonstra-tions, a sledding hill, possible pond hockey

    tournament and food, beer and wine.

    The committee was formed late last winter by Mayor Kip Walby af-ter the second sched-uled pond hockey tour-nament was cancelled due to warm weather

    You cant imagine how much work it takes to get this started, Walby said. People who come to this will never realize how much work and how much ef-fort we put into this.

    Walby also discussed last summers first country music festival, saying, it was not as big as we hoped for, adding next year s event will be better.

    Were planning new

    things; were trying very hard to make St. Clair Shores the place to be, Walby said, not giving away any details.

    No secrets are being kept about the upcom-ing and expanded Venetian Festival now in the planning stages. Sponsored by the N a u t i c a l M i l e Merchants Association, Walby told alliance members plans are to expand activities and volunteers are needed. A date has yet been set, however, historically it has taken place in mid-July.

    Five of the 22 light-house sculptures that have been scattered all over the city went up for silent auction last Saturday afternoon at the St. Clair Shores Golf Course.

    The event, which also included a free spaghetti lunch for the approxi-mately two dozen people in attendance, featured sculptures from South Lake, Lake Shore and Lakeview school districts as well as the citys offi-cial sculpture, along with one donated to the auc-tion by Angels For Animals.

    Twenty seven bids in total were placed on the lighthouses with auction final prices ranging from $450 for the piece from Lakeview to $850 for the citys official sculpture.

    My husband is a re-tired Coast Guard, he was in the Coast Guard for 20 years, so he has always had a thing for lighthous-es, said Nancy App, who was the winning bidder on the lighthouse deco-rated by South Lake High School students. Hes been following this entire process and wanted to bid on one. So thats what we did.

    Im from the city, App said. We now own homes in the city. Im a South Lake grad and we have kids that are South

    Lake grads. It only seems right that we have this one. Were very happy.

    The money raised from the auction was designat-ed to be donated to the charity of the purchasers choice, Fetter said. And after all the bids were in, the event raised $2,800 for five different charities.

    The Apps chose to do-nate the money they paid to the St. Clair Shores W a t e r f r o n t E n v i r o n m e n t a l Committee.

    My husband really likes what they do, she said of the committee. Were very happy to be able to do this.

    The citys official sculp-ture had a winning bid of $850 placed by First State Bank, which promptly donated the sculpture back to the city.

    Both Lake Shore (won by Brian Susko) and the Angels for Animals (won by Bob Fetter) lighthous-es fetched $500 each while the Lakeview sculp-ture had a winning bid of $450 and went to Landscape Services own-er, Paul Dopke.

    So many people chipped in to help out with this, Cool City Committee member Bob Fetter said. I think it cre-ated a lot of civic pride. It showed the creativity of our citizens. It showed the civic engagement of

    According to a letter sent to parents by Lakeview High School Principal Brent Case on Monday, a student at the high school has been di-agnosed with a potentially serious staph infection commonly referred to as MRSA, or Methicillian-resistant Staphylococcus aureus.

    Today we learned that

    a Lakeview High School student has been treated for the staph infection commonly known as MRSA, the letter stated. The purpose of this com-munication is to help you understand this bacterial infection better, and to let you know what Lakeview Public Schools has done to minimize any potential threat to our students and staff.

    The letter also outlines the efforts the district is taking to help prevent the spread of this staph infec-tion, which includes sani-tizing and disinfecting

    surfaces that come in contact with students or staff on a regular basis, and as of the week of Nov. 11, all surfaces that come in contact with stu-dents, staff, or parents will have been cleaned with the hospital-grade disinfectant the district uses in all its schools.

    It also encourages par-ents to make sure their children wash their hands with anti-bacterial soap or hand sanitizer on a regu-lar basis.

    Taking a proactive ap-proach is important Lakeview Public Schools

    Superintendent Karl Paulson said.

    "Lakeview Public Schools continues to take a proactive position with respect to the health and safety of our students and staff," Paulson said. "We also feel fortunate to have parents who are willing to inform us of these kinds of important health issues so we can be proactive in maintaining a healthy en-vironment."

    The high school re-mained open.

    For more information on MRSA go to ww.cdc.gov/mrsa/.

    PLEASE

  • For a couple of years members of the 9-Mack Merchants Association have wanted to put on a holi-day event.

    However, such an event could never be coordinat-ed, organized quite right or put together, but that is about to change this year.

    From 6 to 9 p.m., Thursday, Nov. 22, citys down-town business district, located along Greater Mack south of 9 Mile, the 9-Mack Merchants Association is sponsoring Light Up the Night.

    We are just so excited to be kicking off the holiday season this way, said 9-Mack Merchants Association member Gloria Kinne from Circare Gifts. This is purely fun and to help make everyones holiday start off on the right foot and to make sure everyone has a nice holiday. Were very excited.

    The event is far from your run-of-the-mill holiday sale event - its much, much more according to Kinne.

    Were going to be closing the street for the evening, and were going to be lighting it up, Kinne said. Not only with the Christmas tree and our regular lights, but also with luminaries.

    The luminaries, which can be obtained for a $1 do-nation that goes to the Lake House, will be lit during the event and placed along the stretch of roadway in the downtown district.

    We have them here along with the walkway and the donations go to the Lake House, she said. Were asking anyone who is interested or has been touched by cancer in some way, they can come down and make a $1 donation and personalize one of these lu-minaries, dedicate it to someone they may know that has been touched by cancer.

    Although the event is sponsored by members of the 9-Mack Merchants Association, Kinne said it not about promoting businesses along the stretch of road, its about giving back to the community.

    The businesses are open, sure, and we would cer-tainly welcome people to come in, she said. But this is more about coming down, enjoying, and giving back so that everyone can have a nice holiday.

    The Lake House is one of several charities that pa-trons can donate to during the event, Kinne said.

    Theres going to be a large area for people to come and drop off items for charity and to donate, she said. Roy OBrien Ford, for example, will have a van or pickup that they want to fill with canned food dona-tion. Connies is doing a warming tree, so they are col-lecting hats, scarfs, gloves, coats and those things for kids.There will be a Toys For Tots drop off, a Handbags for Hope and more, Theres going to be a large area for this and thats what this is really about.

    Patrons will also find that many of the storefronts downtown are featuring special displays and events. Circare, for example, will be displaying artwork from students in the South Lake district.

    A marching band, free entertainment and plenty of food (including free coffee and roasted chestnuts) are also on the schedule for people to enjoy, not to men-tion the chance to get a jumpstart on holiday shop-ping.

    Its going to be a lot of fun, Kinne said.

    9-Mack Merchants Association plans to Light Up the NightBy John McTaggartStaff Writer

    Another Subway is coming to town in the defunct Giovannis Bakery site, replacing the existing subway at Harper and Share.

    The new location at Harper, across from the Shores Shopping Center, unlike the Share location, will have a drive-thru.

    Developer Peter Zingas told city council last month the building will be renovated to include the drive thru with service from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. The menu board is to be located at the back of the building and a utility pole in the alley serving as the entrance to the drive-th-ru will either be relocated or removed. The drive thru is to take customers behind the Dollar General store.

    At the suggestion of Councilman John Caron, Zingas said he will recommend a mirror to notify cus-tomers of any oncoming traffic.

    That would be a good idea, Zingas said.Because the property behind the proposed restau-

    rant is vacant, the city has determined a 4 foot mason-ry wall instead of the 6 foot required under ordinance is sufficient.

    City Planner Liz Koto said the taller wall would cre-ate more of a maintenance issue for property owners.

    With councils approval, Zingas has to have the plans approved by the Zoning Board of Addresssing Councilman Ron Fredericks concerns about the curve of the drive thru impacting deliveries to the adja-cent stores, Zingas said customers will have to wait until the delivery vehicles pass the exit. Deliveries, he said, occur twice a week.

    Zingas said a Subway drivethru isnt as busy as that of a Wendys or McDonalds and should not be an issue for Subway customers. Those drive-thrus, Zingas re-minded, are also in operation 24 hours a day in most cases.

    Earlier last month, city council was updated on an-other Subway to be located at the corner of 11 Mile and Harper.

    total of $6,100, about $3,185 going toward mailings and post cards, on his unsuccessful campaign.

    Rubinos campaign finance reports for the general election were not recorded as of Nov. 9.

    According to information filed after the primary, Rubino spent $967.24 in cash donations plus $334.35 in in-kind contributions.

    His biggest contributors were Moes Trucking in St. Clair Shores, Arthurs Hair Design in Clinton Township and Johnson Holdings of West Bloomfield.

    He also received a $100 donation from Mayor Kip Walby and $50 from Councilman Ron Frederick.

    Walby also contributed $100 to incumbent John Carons campaign. Carons largest contributor was $1,000 from the Brandenberg Liberty PAC. He fi-nanced the majority of his campaign and spent $4,043.69 plus $1,702.42 in in-kind donations.

    Incumbent Candice Rusies general election state-ments also have also not been filed.

    AUCTIONContinued from page 3A

    our local business community and our local artist community. Im very proud of this, very proud.

    The event was the culmination of a project that started months ago beginning with the commission-ing of a local artist to create a clay sculpture which eventually became a mold for the lighthouse.

    Apprentices from the Cement Masons Local 514 cast the sculptures which were then sponsored by lo-cal businesses and organizations for $500 each.

    Lighthouses for each of the citys three school dis-tricts, as well as the one for the city itself, were donat-ed by the Cool City Committee, bringing the total number of sponsored sculptures to 18.

    The program cost about $9,000 total, which in-cludes the cost of several molds, materials and time.

    Fetter said the project was a break-even one for the committee itself, which was the intention from the start.

    SCHOOLS

    For weeks, students at South Lake High School have been memorizing lines, learning blocking ,and rehearsing for their upcoming stage produc-tion of 30 Reasons Not to be in a Play.

    Along with the basics of putting on a production, the student thespians also built sets, helped select the play, and raised money for

    royalties and other costs related to the play.

    The kids are very in-volved with nearly every aspect of this, said direc-tor Arlene Schoenherr. Its a really good play be-cause technically we could have hundreds of kids in it, but you can also do it with far less than that. Its a simple play, but the stu-dents have really added

    Nick Neito and Caitlin Skiba are both part of South Lake High Schools production of 30 Reasons To Not be in a Play

    Students at Princeton Elementary School were treated to an afternoon with Detroit Lions mas-cot, Roary, thanks to the teams Fuel Up to Play 60 program.

    The program high-

    lights six qualities it takes to become a suc-cessful leader and main-tain a healthy lifestyle.

    I think one of the big-gest things is just to get the kids motivated, said Princeton physical edu-cation teacher Andrea Torey. To see Roary convey that message to the kids, that message that getting physically active each day is a good thing, really helps them get motivated and excit-ed about it.

    Along with promoting 60 minutes of daily activ-ity, the assembly also emphasized the impor-tance of leadership through the Lead One, Lead All program.

    Princeton Elementary is one of several local

    schools participating in the Fuel Up to Play 60 program, said Torey.

    This is our second year doing this, putting a team together for the Fuel Up to Play 60, pro-gram, Torey said. We were fortunate enough this year to get to go to Ford Field with that team and experience that, but we really wanted bring this to our students. We were very lucky to be able to get coach Chris (Fritzsching, director of youth football for the Lions) and Roary to come out and share the excitement with us.

    Fritzsching, who led the assembly, said its important to bring these

  • Run-away boatPolice are investigating

    a 47-year-old Eastpointe man who fell out of his 12-foot fishing boat at about 11:23 a.m. Monday, Nov. 4, with his 3- and 4-year-old daughters in-side.

    The boat drifted from

    the marina behind Shore Club Condos and was lat-er found near the break-wall close to Brownies on the Lake by the Coast Guard.

    The girls, wearing life-jackets, were fine, accord-ing to St. Clair Shores Police Det. Sgt. Dave

    Centella. The boat was taking in water and nearly capsized, he said.

    The man told police he was taking his daughters fishing that morning to

    Fords Cove. He fell out of the boat and it began drifting away.

    Both police and fire re-sponded to the 911 call.

    According to the Coast Guard, the temperature was about 30 degrees and the waves were two to three feet high with four- to five-foot whitecaps.

    That was a cold, windy day, Centella said, add-ing the investigation re-mains open.

    Off into the sunsetA car stolen from the

    parking spot of a 43-year-old female resident Tuesday, Nov. 5, was later found in the carport of an-other apartment dweller on Sunset Lane.

    The woman told police she went to her car at 10:44 a.m. and noticed it missing. She walked around the complex and found it in another park-ing spot. The driver side door lock had been punched in, as was the ig-nition.

    The vehicle was parked close to another recently reported unlawful driving away of an automobile.

    Car break-inAn 81-year-old man

    told police at 10:33 a.m. Tuesday, Nov. 5, someone attempted to steal his 2006 Dodge Dakota from the parking lot on 12 Mile where he lives.

    The driver side door lock had been punched in as well as the ignition.

    The man told police the vehicle was locked and

    the car would not start when the owner turned the key.

    And anotherA 39-year-old man liv-

    ing on Evergreen report-ed to police someone swiped cash from his un-locked Chevy Malibu overnight Sunday, Nov. 3.

    The man said he left his wallet in the car and all that was missing was about $15 in cash.

    And one moreAt 5:05 a.m. Tuesday,

    Nov. 5, the 2001 silver Dodge Caravan owned by a 43-year-old St. Clair Shores woman was stolen from the parking lot in the 32000 block of Harper.

    The car has a small dent over the rear drivers side door.

    Recycling bins on the way

    Were catching up, Mayor Kip Walby said of the delivery of recycling bins city-wide.

    City Manager Phil Ludos reported Monday, Nov. 4, to date 8,000 carts have been ordered, 5,000 delivered and an addition-al 3,600 on back ordered and anticipated to be de-livered to the city within the next two months.

    The 96-gallon trash cans are on-site and the Department of Public Works is in the process of delivering them to resi-dents.

    We just cant seem to keep up, Ludos said. Thats actually a compli-ment to the program. Were working as fast as we can.

    Councilman John Caron requested statistics on the program, specifically how much recycling tonnage is now being collected com-pared to the totals before Rizzo Disposal offered the larger receptacles.

    Residents who have re-ceived more than one re-ceptacle are asked to call the DPW or city hall to have the extra one picked up and given to a resident who has yet to receive one.

    Ludos is also checking with Rizzo on reports from residents who said they or-

    dered the recycling carts when the program was first implemented and have yet to receive one.

    Gilberts rebuildingMayor Kip Walby con-

    firmed reports the owners of Gilberts Lodge are re-building after a fire in the kitchen closed the popular restaurant last month.

    Yes; its true, Walby said when making the an-nouncement at the St. Clair Shores Business Alliance meeting Oct. 31.

    after having their water meters replaced, City at-torney Robert Ihrie is looking into the legalities of claims the city is charg-ing too much.

    When the meters are re-placed, the readings of the outside and inside meters are compared and if they

    do not match, residents are being charged for the difference, often resulting in bills of more than $1,000.

    Residents claim the rate at which they are being charged is higher than should be allowed.

    Ihrie said he plans to have his written opinion completed by the Monday, Nov. 18 council meeting.
