The new 40th District
Court building is near-
ing completion, accord-
ing to court administra-
tor Carolyn Povich.
The exterior walls are
in place and all that re-
mains is the interior.
Theyre doing the
drywall part now inside
the building, she said.
Its about doing that
finishing work right
now.
Povich said no date
has been given when the
facility will be complete
and ready for employees
to move back in.
I would say that at a
minimum, it would be
30-45 days, and thats a
minimum. The finish
work is so meticulous
and that can take time,
she said.
Real i sti cal l y, the
move-in date, Povich
said, figures to be some-
time in March.
If everything goes re-
ally smooth, she said.
And there arent any is-
sues or anything like
that, were perhaps talk-
ing the end of February.

While no date has yet
been sent, Mayor Kip
Walby is formulating
ideas and talking points
for his 2014 State of the
City address he plans to
deliver within the next
two months.
Last year, Walbys
PowerPoint presenta-
tion-laden address was
attended by about 150
residents, city employees
and Macomb County
Executive Mark Hackel
at the Senior Center for
Active Adults, which
sponsored the February
event.
I plan to talk about
2013, the state of the city
and accomplishments
and improvements and
changes weve made and
where we are going in
2014, the mayor said
last week.
He also plans to share
data compiled from city
documents to punctuate
his address, as he did last
year.
While he wasnt willing
to share details of his
goals for the upcoming
year, a review of his 2013
goals give him at least an
80 percent accomplish-
ment rate.
While he did not com-
plete his plan to create a
city committee to explore
upgrades to Blossom
Heath Park as the citys
Tax Increment Finance
Authority has yet to un-
veil its plan to council, he
acted quickly on forming
what is now known as
the Aqua Freeze Festival
Committee which is
planning its first winter
festival Feb. 21-23 at
Blossom Heath Park.
During a council study
session set for Jan. 13,
Walby and council will be
updated on and discuss

Clearing up lose ends
is the goal of another
city council study ses-
sion planned for
Monday, Jan. 13. The ex-
act time has yet to be set.
Mayor Kip Walby said
last week only two items
are on the agenda at this
time, but we may see
others at the last min-
ute.
First up is a discussion
about expanding the se-
nior center a goal out-
lined by Walby during
his 2013 State of the City
Address.
Walby said the discus-
sion will center on what
the expansion plans may
look like, what the se-
niors want to see added
to the facility and how
the city can pay for it, in-
cluding fundraising.
Members of the Senior
Center Of The Shores
board have been dis-
cussing expansion plans
for more than a year and
are in the process of
compiling and sharing
their ideas with council.
Next up is a discussion
on a policy for personal
e-mails sent to and by
city employees.
At the advice of the
city attorney (Robert
Ihrie) more than a year
ago, we are working on a
policy, Walby said, add-
ing the policy is more
about how long such e-
mails are to be kept and
not prompted by any le-
gal issues or influenced
by access to such e-
mails by the press which
has caused major issues
for area municipalities.
Almost a year ago to
the day of this study ses-
sion, council discussed
the following issues:
Review of the over-
night parking and snow
event ordinances, com-
mercial parking and sig-
nage concerns, blight
enforcement proce-
dures, park grants, the
police and fire millage
and the search for a new
city manager.

Council study session Monday
Snow day
Talia and Charlotte Sokolitz made the best of the snowy conditions last week. The two found a small hill in their front yard to sled down
much of the afternoon.
See ADDRESS, page 2A
Justice for
Lexie
Nearly two dozen Justice
for Lexie supporters
gathered at city hall
Monday evening to show
their support and listen
to the update presented
to the council by St. Clair
Shores Police Chief
Mike Walleman. The de-
partment spent 85 hours
and consulted with the
Macomb County Sheriffs
Department, recan-
vassed the area for wit-
ness accounts, and
sought the expertise of
renowned forensic pa-
thologist Dr. Werner
Spitz. The ongoing in-
vestigation into the inci-
dent is about 90 percent
complete.

But Im not getting my
heart set on that. Id say
March is more realistic.
Originally, the facility
was slated to be com-
plete before the holi-
days, but several unfore-
seen issues cropped up
during the construction
that pushed the opening
into 2014.
That was the initial
schedule when it was
first approved and it
went out for bids, she
said. But there have
been some issues that
have pushed us back.
The issue with the
ground and the second
foundation, for exam-
ple, are part of those un-
foreseen things.
The age of the existing
courthouse structure
was a factor in some of
these setbacks, Povich
said.
The asbestos inside
the walls was one of the
setbacks, too, she said.
We knew there was
some asbestos in there,
but not to the extent that
there was. That all took
extra time to take care
of, too.
The new facility prom-
ises to give residents a
new look that is de-
signed to make the ex-
perience more pleasant
for all.
This new building is
really going to benefit
the public, Povich said.
In the old building,
there was only standing
room. There was no
place for the clients to
meet with attorneys, no
way for victims to be
separated from defen-
dants and security was a
huge issue.
In the old building
they would actually
have to walk the defen-
dants like a chain gang
through the halls. Thats
not going to happen in
the new building. There
is actually a cell block
area in the new build-
ing.
A jury assembly room
and other amenities are
also part of the new fa-
cility, Povich said.
This is going to be
wonderful, she said.
The security is going to
be great. The public will
have privacy if they
want it. Its going to be a
very modern, proficient
and state- of-the-art
building. We cant wait
to get in.
A number of families
and area agencies bene-
fited from a surprise
Christmas gift present-
ed to the Shorewood
Kiwanis.
Tr eas ur er Bi l l
Hitchcock, at a meeting
last month, told the
board of directors he
had a special announce-
ment. He presented an
envelope with a St. Clair
Shores return address,
no name, and post-
marked from Las Vegas,
Nevada.
Hitchcock first pre-
sented a certified mon-
ey order for $1,000,
then another for $1,000
and emptied the envel-
op by showing off a
third money order for
$500.
The note inside sim-
ply asked the money be
used by the Kiwanis to
continue its efforts in
making a difference
during this holiday sea-
son.
Did someone from
St. Clair Shores hit it big
in Vegas? Well never
know, member Karen
Biafora asked, followed
by heart-felt gratitude.
Thank you anony-
mous donor and happy
h o l i d a y s f r o m
Shorewood Kiwanis,
Biafora said.
With this unexpected
windfall, Biafora said
the group doubled its
donations to the
Macomb County Health
Department in the form
of childrens coats and
supplies for the young
mothers closet and
Diaper Depot.
Some of the money is
also targeted to help
cover expenses for up-
coming community ser-
vice events, such as the
Spe c i a l Ne e ds
Childrens Day at the
Ice Show in March.

Bai l ey,

While it will take a lot
more than is currently in
the coffers, Tax
Increment Finance
Authority member Joe
Claycomb wants to see
the board consider restor-
ing Blossom Heath Inn.
Dont go upstairs or in
the basement, Claycomb
warned.
Those areas, he said,
are in major disarray. The
upstairs, he said is not
used for anything since
the citys parks and recre-
ation department moved
operations to Civic Arena.
There are windows up
there you can blow
through. Theyre losing a
lot of heat and the roof
needs to be redone, he
said.
Wi t h O a k
Managements lease set
to expire at the end of this
year, Claycomb said hed
like to see the city in
conjunction with its his-
torical commission
take action on ways to
renovate the 1911 struc-
ture added onto in the
20s.
The tough part, he said,
is to bring the facility up
to Americans with
Disabilities Act codes, an
elevator would have to be
installed. Because the inn
sits on city-owned park
property and with the
parks in the city being
residents only, its ex-
empt from state and fed-
eral funding.
I dont even know
which part of the building
you would put it,
Claycomb said of an ele-
vator.
Several years ago, TIFA
invested in repairs to the
Blossom Heath Inn park-
ing lot.
When posed with the
idea of using the upper
floor as a bed and break-
fast, thus partially meet-
ing TIFA and the citys
goal to bring a hotel to the
community, Claycomb
said without the refur-
bishing and, of course,
the elevator, that remains
a big unknown.
That would be a major
undertaking, he said,
adding the question of
maintaining the park resi-
dents only which he
favors adds to the com-
plexity of such a plan.
If everything were in
perfect shape, it would be
a different story,
Claycomb said, adding
theres a lot more work
that needs to be done to
the adjacent park.
Claycomb raised the re-
hab idea during a TIFA
meeting where chairman
Richard Widgren asked
members to share their
ideas for park upgrades.
Widgren said hes review
estimates.
(The park) desperately
needs more work to make
it presentable and invit-
ing to come visit and have
picnics and parties
there, Claycomb said.
Personally, he has an
eye toward addressing
the fishing pier he said
needs extensive renova-
tions and the park rest-
rooms. A new driveway
leading to the pier is also
in his sights.
Thats not going to be
cheap either, he said of
the pier project. That
would take all our funds.
According to a recent
accounting, Widgren said
the TIFA has about
$600,000 in its coffers and
collects about $100,000
annually from the addi-
tional taxes gained (or
captured) by the in-
creased tax value of prop-
erties in the project area
roughly bound by 9 and
10 mile roads along
Jefferson.
The TIFA board also
has the authority to bor-
row against anticipated
captured taxes for larger
projects.
Claycomb is calling on
Mayor Kip Walby to fol-
low through on his plan
to form a committee of
residents and TIFA board
members to brainstorm a
plan for the park.
The mayor made that a
goal during his state of
the city address delivered
last year.
Contacted last week,
Walby said, its some-
thing I may do in 2014.
We still need to look at
Blossom Heath and try to
enhance the park and
make it better, he said.
THURSDAY, JANUARY 9, 2014 ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION 3A
By Debra Pascoe
Editor
Blossom Heath
According to the Macomb County Historical Commission and Images of
America St. Clair Shores Village on the Lake, penned by the St. Clair Shores
Historical Commission, Blossom Heath Inn was built in 1911 by Matthew
Kramer, a hotelier and yachtsman. He called his roadhouse the Kramerhof.
In 1920, the building was sold to Canadian William McIntosh, who renamed
it Blossom Heath Inn and added two large wings, which included an ornate
ballroom called the Pavillion Royale. Blossom Heath was one of the most luxu-
rious roadhouses in Michigan.
Nationally known big bands, such as Ben Pollacks, drew people from Detroit
and Canada to the inn.
Blossom Heath became notorious for illegal drinking and gambling during
Prohibition and the Depression. Liquor was boated into St. Clair Shores from
Canada.
After McIntoshs death in 1930, the roadhouse was run by his heirs. By the
late 1930s, the heyday of roadhouses was over and in 1943, Blossom Heath
was sold to Harold Walden. The building fell into disuse, but in February, 1946,
the village of St. Clair Shores purchased it.
According to the book, more than 150 gallons of paint were used to renovate
the building.
On May 19, 1946, it reopened as a civic center with village offices in the north
wing. It became the St. Clair Shores Recreation Center in 1957 when construc-
tion of the current city hall was completed.
The building is now leased by Oak Management and run as a banquet facility.
A brief history of the Inn
William Lawsons
message to the city was
simple: Stop giving me
a hard time.
Lawson was before
city council at its Dec.
16 meeting to express
his objection to being
pestered by the city for
having a commercial
vehicle at his duplex
and to support the in-
stallation of concrete
walls behind businesses
bordering residential
properties.
Lawson quoted a
Michigan state statute
on commercial motor
vehicles stating it does
not include vehicles
used to transport per-
sonal possessions.
He said his vehicle is
equipped with a snow
plow used only for his
personal use not for
business.
I should be able to
plow my own driveway
with my personal plow.
I should be able to plow
my gr andmot h-
ers driveway, he said,
adding he is a business
owner, but his business
is located in Florida.
Lawson said he also
owns a log splitter he
uses to help himself,
family and friends.
Its absolutely crazy
that someone is saying
that its commercial
property or commercial
equipment, he said of
his duplex.
I dont see it, the
state of Michigan
doesnt see and it wont
hold up in court. I
would like to stop being
given a hard time for
making my life easier,
he said.
Of the wall issue thor-
oughly discussed at
councils Dec. 12 study
session, Lawson sup-
ported the need for the
masonry walls, as they
keep rats out of his
yard.
Rats make nests in
that fence, he said of
the metal fence border-
ing his rear yard.
(Those) fences are a
absolute horrible idea.
That fence needs to
come down and the wall
needs to go up.
I dont care if they're
block, I can paint the
wall and make it look
good.

Resident voices
objections to
city ordinances
Last year it was the
snow emergency, this
year its controversy over a
pit bull mix being shot by
police.
Another year, another
calamity in St. Clair
Shores.
A review of the city
council agendas for the
first meeting in the New
Year shows theres not
much, well, new.
In 2013, Mayor Kip
Walbys failure to call a
snow emergency and his
admission of the mistake
set the tone for the
January meeting.
Walby kept his apology
and introduction of a re-
view of the snow ordi-
nance short as possible,
yet filled with regret.
Interestingly, as council
prepared for the first
meeting of January, 2014,
a snow emergency was in
place the second of the
winter season.
While all eyes were on
the ice in the canal adja-
cent to Brownies on the
Lake in 2013, little con-
cern is being given this
year, as the Aqua Freeze
Festival is taking the place
of a pond hockey tourna-
ment twice-cancelled due
to unseasonably warm
weather.
Had the tourney been
scheduled this year on the
same dates as last Jan
25-27 the results may
be the same.
According to the Old
Farmers Almanac 2014,
weather predictions for
Jan 21-24: call for rain and
mild temperatures fol-
lowed by snowy periods
and cold temps Jan 25-31.
For those wondering,
temperatures for the
Aqua Freeze Festival are
predicted to be snowy,
then sunny and season-
able.
Last year, council was to
review bids for a house on
Chalon purchased
through the Macomb
County Tax Reversion
process. The item was
postponed because a
meeti ng between
Community Development
and Inspection Director
Chris Rayes and the citys
Tax Foreclosure subcom-
mittee did not happen.
As a result, Walby gave
the subcommittee more
power.
With that house sold,
the rehab of another
house and the sale of
three vacant properties
and a condominium were
on the January, 2014
agenda.
Discussion last year en-
sued over a traffic study
the city ordered to deter-
mine if changes were
needed to signs near
Violet Elementary School.
Changes were made later
that year as were changes
made to the citys over-
night parking ordinance
and permitted parking
rules.
As is typical, budget ses-
sions were set at the be-
ginning of last year in
preparation for the June
30 deadline.
The topic of rats also
reared its toothy head at
that meeting an issue
that continues to plague
the community and coun-
cil.
Members also talked
trash as the citys waste
hauling contract was
about to expire.
Changing haulers later
in the year netted the city
new trash receptacles and
the introduction of recy-
cling carts.

Perusing the book,
Rain Gardens Managing
Water Sustainability by
Nigel Dunnet and Andy
Clayden, gave resident
Erin Stahl an idea.
Eyeing photos of an en-
vironmentally friendly
park built in Germany
featuring water wheels,
cascading waterfalls, built
in bench seating and a va-
riety of both educational
and fun water features fo-
cusing on the environ-
ment, Stahl thought, why
not build a similar one in
St. Clair Shores designed,
constructed and built by
its residents.
For the past several
months, Stahl has been
touting her plan for
Blossom Heath Young
Peoples Park by talking it
up and showing a display
board of photos from the
park in Germany, with
courtesy from and to
Dunnet, to all who will lis-
ten.
Stahl, a former council-
woman and member of
the citys Waterfront
Committee, said shes
very familiar with the
problems at Blossom
Heath beach, where
swimming hasnt been al-
lowed in years. She said
the city has tried bubblers
to move the stagnant wa-
ter to no avail.
The water park, she
said, can improve water
quality as well as the
beach aesthetics.
When I saw the
book, it really said
Blossom Heath to me.
There are a lot of different
water features like water-
wheels and you can dam
up the water and do other
projects. It will be educa-
tional for kids, as it teach-
es kids in a very fun, natu-
ral way how water travels
around and is a really fun,
serene type park, she
said, adding designed
properly; it can help cir-
culate the stagnant water.
I want to be playing in
it, she said.
Her idea is to build in
five stages over five years
with each phase costing
about $20,000 wholly fi-
nanced by donations with
no government interven-
tion other than permit
approval and support.
Once the money is in
hand, volunteers will do
the construction, much
like playgrounds have
been built in other com-
munities.
This is a community
project. All funding will
be done before even a
shovel is put into the
ground. This project
would be basically a gift
to the city, Stahl said. All
Im asking is the city give
its blessing or at least put
this project in the mix.
Zero taxpayer dollars will
be spent.
I just want residents to
know theres more op-
tions than selling this
property to a hotel and
putting a hole in the gen-
eral fund, she said, add-
ing she fears government
involvement will be a det-
riment.
Keeping it solely in the
hands of the people will
ensure efficiency, she
said.
We can contain costs
and the love shows up in
the project, she said.
The community aspect
continues with design
plans. Stahl will call on ar-
ea environmental engi-
neering students to par-
ticipate in a contest to
plan the site and intro-
duce new ideas.
I figure a design con-
test with local colleges
and raising $20,000 each
year with tons of volun-
teers will be enough to
build something St. Clair
Shores can be proud of.
That is, if council and staff
get behind me on this,
she said. And that will
only happen if I gain sup-
port from our communi-
ty.
Stahl said collecting do-
nations for the first phase
may be tough, but once
residents see what the
project can be donations
will pour in the next year.
While Stahl admits she
has no hands-on experi-
ence creating such a park,
she said, Im not afraid of
taking the lead. I know
people who have the ex-
pertise and lets get them
together.
One person she wants
on her side is her father, a
carpenter who has creat-
ed many natural woodsy
landscaping environ-
ments around every
house he has lived in.
When introducing the
plan to the Tax Increment
Finance Authority, Stahl
got support from several
members, including
Chairman Richard
Widgren.
Widgren suggested
Stahls idea can be incor-
porated into designs al-
ready submitted to the
board.
It probably fits with
some of the things we are
trying to do, he said. I
think our families would
just absolutely love it.
TIFA has been consid-

Know Your Skin

Need some resolutions for your
New Years skin? Here are three:
Protect, Detect and Restore.
Protect: Beyond protecting
from obvious traumas of cuts,
scrapes, and abrasions, take steps
to protect your skin from the
three most common causes of
damage- the sun, smoking, and
contact with such items as harsh
chemicals and cleansers. How?
Make it part of your routine to
use sunscreens, every day, sum-
mer and winter. If you smoke,
quit. Wear gloves and protective
clothing when exposed to harsh
substances.
Detect: How well do you know
your skin? Everyone should
complete a monthly skin exam
using a mirror for help. If you
have many moles, a history or
family history of skin cancer,
dont forget to schedule an an-
nual skin exam to be done by
your dermatologist. We all need
to keep a watchful eye out for
any changes, whether for exist-
ing moles or for new spots which
may appear.
Restore: In addition to using
sunscreens to reduce harmful
sun damage, our skin is well re-
warded by the use of moistur-
izers and cleansers which match
our skin type. Also, there are
numerous skin products avail-
able over-the-counter or through
your physician which can help to
slow or reverse existing damage.
We wish you a happy and
healthy New Year from all
of the associates at Eastside
Dermatology.

of ces in New Baltimore and

BEVERAGES
N
othing will
bring Lexie
back.
And its
likely in
some minds there will
never be justice, resolu-
tion, or a satisfactory so-
lution.
A dog was shot in the
early morning hours in
our town, on our streets,
by our police officers.
A necropsy report
shows entry wounds for
eight bullets.
A police report ac-
counts for only four.
A local woman lost her
beloved pet.
Officers felt lethal force
was necessary to stop an
aggressive dog from
menacing the streets and
perhaps even attacking
them or someone else.
But the reality is simple
nothing will bring
Lexie back.
Did the fact she was a
pit bull mix have any-
thing to do with the
shooting, like many activ-
ists claim?
Perhaps.
Ordinances across the
country prohibit resi-
dents from owning pit
bulls in certain cities
St. Clair Shores is cur-
rently not one of them.
Should the dog have
been euthanized in the
field instead of tossed in-
to the back of an animal
control truck to die?
Perhaps.
Councilman Chris
Vitale brought up that
fact at a recent council
meeting.
At this point the dog
had at least four bullets in
it, Vitale said at the
meeting. I think we were
already past the idea that
we were going to save
this dog.
But, police officials
claim they were going to
take her to a veterinary
clinic for treatment.
Video published on
YouTube depicts Lexies
final moments, bleeding,
dragged from the end of
a dog stick and into the
truck where she would
die as a result of blood
loss, according to the
necropsy report.
Animal Control
Officers in St. Clair
Shores, according to
Deputy Police Chief Todd
Woodcox, are unarmed.
But police officers do
have the authority to eu-
thanize an animal with a
bullet in the field.
In the end, though,
none of this really mat-
ters.
Lexie is gone and no
amount of bickering, fin-
ger-pointing, bad-
mouthing or shouting is
going to change that.
And despite the emo-
tionally charged accusa-
tions and pleas for jus-
tice on social media, the
focus should be on mak-
ing this the last such in-
cident in this city and
perhaps beyond.
Diane Balikin, a prose-
cutor for more than
three decades, now dedi-
cates her time and skills
to being an important
part of the Animal Legal
Defense Fund legal
team, one of the coun-
trys top animal rights
organizations.
It does, unfortunately,
usually take some terri-
ble incident to bring
about change, Balkin
said. Its sad to say, but
its usually how it
works.
This was a terrible in-
cident now lets focus
on bringing about
change.
City officials need to
look closely at the new
directives put in place by
the Los Angeles Police
Department in 2009.
Balkin encourages
providing officers with a
better understanding of
dog behavior and proto-
col and improve training,
which could result in
better outcomes.
State Rep. Sarah
Roberts should review
the Dog Protection Act
in place in Colorado.
Activists, residents
and those who have ex-
pressed their views need
to be patient with city
and state officials. Allow
them to use the powers
that we, as citizens, be-
stowed on them to bring
about change.
Anger, frustration and
a desperate longing for
justice solves very little.
As painful as it might
be to hear this is no
longer about Lexie, the
dogits about Lexies
legacy.
Its about every dog
that might get loose; its
about police officers
faced with the decision
to shoot or not.
Lexie is gone.
But there is an amazing
opportunity here for this
community to come to-
gether, for residents to
work with state and local
government and bring
about a change in Lexies
honor.
A failure to do this is a
failure to both pay trib-
ute to Lexie and to give
this community the type
of leadership it deserves
one of integrity and
honor and doing what is
right.
With the early arrival
of arctic temperatures,
ice has already formed
on many of Michigans
inland lakes and rivers.
The Department of
Natural Resources re-
minds ice fishermen
and snowmobilers of its
mantra: No ice is safe
ice.
Just because a lake
or stream looks frozen
doesnt mean the ice is
safe, said Lt. Andrew
Turner, marine safety
and education supervi-
sor for the DNR Law
Enforcement Division,
in a press release. By
following some guide-
lines on how ice looks
and feels, you can avoid
your day of ice fishing
ending in a life-threat-
ening incident.
According to Turner,
you cant always tell the
strength of ice simply
by its look, thickness,
temperature or whether
it is covered with snow.
New ice, he said, gener-
ally is much stronger
than old ice; a couple of
inches of new, clear ice
may be strong enough
to support you, though a
foot of old, air-bubbled
ice may not.
Clear ice that has a
bluish tint is the stron-
gest, Turner said. Ice
formed by melted and
refrozen snow appears
milky, and is often very
porous and weak.
Ice covered by snow
should always be pre-
sumed unsafe. Snow
acts like an insulating
blanket and slows the
freezing process. Ice
under the snow will be
thinner and weaker. A
snowfall can also warm
up and melt existing ice.
If there is slush on the
ice, stay off; its about
half as strong as clear
ice and indicates the ice
is no longer freezing
from the bottom.
Turner said anglers
should be especially
cautious in areas where
air temperatures have
fluctuated. Any newly
formed ice created after
a cold front moves
through, should be re-
garded with caution. A
cold snap with very cold
temperatures quickly
weakens ice and can
cause large cracks with-
in half a day.
A warm spell may
take several days to
weaken the ice. When
temperatures vary
widely, causing the ice
to thaw during the day
and refreeze at night,
the result is a weak,
spongy or honey-
combed ice that is un-
safe, he said.
Ice weakens with age,
and late in the season,
when it turns dark and
gets honeycombed, its
time to quit for the sea-
son. A cold snap some-
times halts the deterio-
ration, but honey-
combed ice never re-
freezes to its original
strength.
The DNR does not
recommend the stan-
dard inch-thickness
guide used by many an-
glers and snowmobilers
to determine ice safety
because ice seldom
forms at a uniform rate.
Three or 4 inches of
ice on a shallow pond
with no inlets or outlets,
for example, cannot be
compared to the same
amount of ice formed
over a river with strong
current, or to ice cover-
ing the bays of the Great
Lakes, where its always
more fragile, Turner
said.
Deep inland lakes
take longer to freeze
than shallow lakes. Ice
cover on lakes with
strong currents or
chain-of-lakes systems
is also more unpredict-
able.
Always presume ice
is unsafe, Turner said.
Do not venture out on-
to the ice unless you test
the thickness and quali-
ty with a spud or needle
bar or an auger. Ice that
is 6 or 7 inches thick in
one spot can be only 2
inches thick close by.
On the big lakes, ice
cover in some spots may
be thick enough to safe-
ly hold a car while other
areas are little more
than an inch thick.
Conditions can change
within just a few feet be-
cause of currents under
the ice. Be especially
careful around pressure
cracks. When the cur-
rents are stronger, the
ice gives way to open
water.

is home might be
thousands of
miles away, but Lake
Shore High School
Chinese exchange stu-
dent, Gavin, uses his
photography skills to
give his loved ones and
others a glimpse of
what life is like in St.
Clair Shores.
I take the pictures
and post them to our
blog for Chinese par-
ents, he said. Then ev-
eryone, my family, the
families of other ex-
change students, every-
one, can see what were
doing over here in
America.
Since his arrival at
Lake Shore at the begin-
ning of this school year,
Gavin has been a fixture
on the sidelines, at
events such as home-
coming and assemblies
and anywhere a school
event is taking place.
I am pretty much at
everything here with my
camera, Gavin said.
And I joined the year-
book team here at the
school so I know some
of my pictures are going
to be in that. Its very ex-
citing.
Gavins love of pho-
tography has deep roots,
he said.
My father used to be
very interested in pho-
tography, Gavin said.
Then, in elementary
school, I started to take
pictures and really start-
ed to learn the skills to
take good photos.
I really enjoy it and
Ive been taking lots of
pictures ever since.
Gavin estimates he
has taken more than
20,000 photos since his
first day at Lake Shore
and plans to keep his
shutter clicking until the
end of the school year.
Ill keep on taking
them here, he smiled. I
like to take all different
kinds of pictures, too
and I can do that with
everything going on
here at Lake Shore. And
now, my classmates and
the parents are waiting
to see them and are ex-
pecting them on the blog
and things like that, too.
I love being able to do
that for them.
Do his future plans in-
clude a career in pho-
tography?
Its just something I
really love, he said.
And I really like that
people appreciate the
pictures I take. That
makes me feel good. But
in the future I want to
learn about business.
Thats my plan.
Electronics swiped
The friend of a home-
owner in the 2500 block of
Madison checked on the
house at 10:21 Friday, Jan.
3, to find someone stole
his friends 66-inch Vizio
TV, Sony PlayStation, Blu
Ray player and a 63-inch
TV.
The friend reported the
bedroom dresser drawers
were ransacked. The own-
er was on his way back
from vacation to check to
see what else may have
been taken.
Police believe the thief
pried open the kitchen
window next to the rear
door and reached in to un-
lock the door and gain ac-
cess.
Partial fingerprints were
found on the window and
door and a box in the bed-
room.
More electronics
stolen
A resident in the 22000
block of Blackburn report-
ed Sunday, Dec. 29, some-
one broke into his house
and stole various items be-
longing to himself and his
girlfriend visiting from
Windsor, Canada.
The homeowner said
the pair left the house at
3:30 p.m. and returned
several hours later. He be-
lieves he may have left the
side door unlocked. Police
reported no signs of forced
entry.
Items taken include the
homeowners Guess watch
from the bedroom, an iPod
from the living room, a
Kobo eReader and a cup
full of spare change.
Bird brain
The resident of a condo
in the 2200 block of Sunset
Lane has a pretty good
idea who walked in and
stole her birds and their
cages Saturday, Dec. 28.
According to police, the
womans brother went to
the condo that day to gath-
er Christmas gifts; his sis-
ter was stayed at their
mothers house. He dis-
covered the birds, kept in
the laundry room, were
gone. There was no sign of
forced entry and the thief
locked the door after exit-
ing.
The owner said a couple
neighbors and her daugh-
ter have keys, however
she suspects her ex-hus-
band of the theft, police
said.
Stolen were a white
dove with a pink tail and
beak, a blue Quacker par-
rot, a yellow love bird with
orange on its head, anoth-
er white dove and their
cages.
Smashing
The ex-boyfriend of
the homeowners daugh-
ter is believed responsi-
ble for breaking a front
window of a house in the
22000 block of Rosedale
and the windows of a
Neon parked in the
driveway Saturday, Dec.
28.
The husband and wife
homeowners were awak-
ened when they heard
glass breaking. The hus-
band, who was down-
stairs on the couch, gave
chase, followed by his
wife, who was asleep in a
bedroom.
The suspect was seen
running toward Malvern
and slipped and fell. The
wife told police she called
out the name of the sus-
pect, who lives in Hazel
Park, and he turned and
looked at her. She re-
turned home and called
911.
The daughter, who ar-
rived home while police
were there, told them she
had dated the suspect
and a few days earlier he
left eight voice mail mes-
sages, at least one saying
he was going to bust out
some windows. She said
she did not return any of
the calls.
The daughters new
boyfriend said he re-
ceived a few Facebook
messages from the sus-
pect of a derogatory na-
ture regarding the
daughter.
The suspect drives an
older model red Pontiac
Grand Am or Grand Prix
with either a blue drivers
side or passengers side
door.
Police followed the
mans footprints in the
snow and they ended just
north of Rosedale on
Malvern.

Gavin is a fixture at Lake Shore sporting events, always with his
camera in hand taking photos to share with students and parents
back in China.
Exchange student
a real shutter bug
ICE
to be much weaker be-
cause of shifting, ex-
pansion and heat from
sunlight reflecting off
the bottom. If theres ice
on the lake but water
around the shoreline,
proceed with caution.
Avoid areas with pro-
truding logs, brush,
plants and docks. These
structures can absorb
heat from the sun, thus
weakening the sur-
rounding ice. Also avoid
aeration devices, such
as bubblers used near
marinas.
I personally would
never recommend that
you take a car or truck
onto the ice, Turner
said. But those are per-
sonal decisions. I would
urge that anyone wear a
life jacket, wear bright
colors and take a cell
phone when walking
onto a frozen lake or
river. Also, bring along a
set of ice picks or ice
claws, which you can
find in most sporting
goods shops.
I really like that people appreciate the pictures I take.
That makes me feel good. But in the future I want to learn
about business. Thats my plan.

he 2014
Mitsubishi
Outlander
3.0 GT
S-AWC rep-
resents the Japanese au-
tomakers finest efforts in
its crossover utility vehi-
cle line in the United
States.
The Outlander, a seven-
passenger compact CUV,
presents itself well
handsome, conservative
exterior lines, colorful
graphics in the instru-
ment panel, lots of stan-
dard features plus options
and competitive pricing.
We noticed its good fit
and finish, quiet interior
and adequate cargo space
without the more ex-
treme, trendy sloping, ae-
ro roofline that character-
izes so many like-minded
crossovers. We loved the
optional wide-beam high-
intensity discharge head-
lights.
The premium 2014
Outlander GT model,
priced at $27,795 gets a
power upgrade in the
form of a 24-valve 3.0-liter
V-6 engine that produces
224 horsepower at 6,250
rpm and 215 pound-feet
of torque at 3,750 rpm.
The V-6 is mated to a six-
speed automatic and an
improved torque convert-
er performance and a new
final drive ratio all con-
tribute to more miles per
gallon.
The final drive ratio for
this model for 2014 is
3.360.
The V-6 powered
Outlander GT with all-
wheel drive has an EPA
rating of 20 mpg city/28
mpg highway for a com-
bined 23 mpg.
The 2013 Outland GT
with all-wheel drive was
rated at 19 city/25 high-
way and 21 mpg com-
bined.
The Outlander SE
model is equipped with a
166 horsepower 2.4-liter
four with continuously-
variable valve lift timing
technology. Mitsubishi
said all 2014 Outlander
models meet LEV II -
ULEV emission stan-
dards.
The base 4-cylinder
engine is coupled to a
continuously-variable
transmission that mim-
ics ratio patterns for the
traditional shift feel.
Acceleration control pro-
vides better throttle re-
sponse at the early stage
of acceleration and post-
pones upshifts until later
in the rev range, the au-
tomaker said.
The mid-level
Outlander SE starts at
$23,795. Building on the
base ES, it includes a
6.1-inch touch-screen
display audio system,
rearview camera, Digital
HD Radio, fog lights,
18-inch alloy wheels,
heated front seats and
push-button engine igni-
tion. All-wheel drive is
available as an option on
the SE.
The ES has a base
price of $22,995.
Luxury features avail-
able on SE and GT mod-
els include a state-of-the-
art 9-speaker Rockford
Fosgate sound system
with DTS Neural
Surround, HD radio,
high-definition naviga-
tion system with 7-inch
touch panel, voice com-
mand, real-time traffic
navigation system, road
speed limit display and a
remote power tailgate
that can be activated
from the drivers seat.
The test Outlander was
a V-6 GT all-wheel drive
with an optional touring
package for $6,100. The
package includes a navi-
gation system with 3D
mapping, lane departure
warning, forward colli-
sion mitigation, adaptive
cruise control, power
glass sunroof, leather
seating surfaces, premi-
um sound system and
power remote tailgate.
The lane departure
warning and forward
collision mitigation are
the equivalent of the
arch-type backseat driv-
er now in your face. In
spite of our efforts, we
could not quiet the de-
parture warning beeps.
The forward collision
mitigation scared us big-
time at least once, but in
these driver-distracted
times, it will probably
make itself very useful
when eyes are not al-
ways on the road.
Mitsubishi has added
as standard on all 2014
Outlanders a new driver-
activated ECO-mode set-
ting designed to reduce
fuel consumption.
The standard seven-
airbag Supplemental
Restraint System in-
cludes side curtain air
bags, drivers knee air
bag and a redesigned air
bag for the drivers seat.
A new brake pedal reces-
sion protection structure
was designed to reduce
driver leg injury in the
event of a high-speed
frontal impact. Stability
control with traction con-
trol logic, hill start assist
and anti-lock brakes with
electronic brake-force
distribution are all stan-
dard on the Outlander.
A third row in the 2014
Outlander is standard on
the 3.0 GT S-AWC and
works well in some cir-
cumstances. But gener-
ally speaking, there is
not enough room in this
compact utility vehicle
for seven people. The
2014 Outlander began
arriving at dealerships in
June. Final assembly is
Okazaki, Japan.
