Hiya gang!The Ghoul is back in

town for a limited engage-ment just in time for Halloween.

Ron Sweed, the enter-tainer behind the late-night horror movie and comedy sketch show, which aired on WKDV TV 20 in the 1970s, is bringing back his “Weird Show” at 8 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at Brownies on the Lake, 24124 Jefferson, St. Clair Shores.

The Halloween party, sponsored by the Nautical Mile Yacht Club, is free. In addition to the Ghoul, en-tertainment includes a per-formance by The Detroit Hemi’s, a local rock-a-billy, rock and roll band.

The event includes a costume party.

Patty Mok, publicist for the yacht club, said attend-ees can expect the fright-wig, lab coat donning, “overdey” shouting hero of 70s late night television to perform his schtick, pos-sibly including an appear-ance by Froggy, fun with Cheese Whiz, comments about Hamtramck and all the rest.

The Ghoul will also be

selling his promotional wares and the yacht club will be giving some of it away to patrons donning the best Halloween attire.

“This is going to be a real

big event,” Mok said, add-ing it’s the last on the club’s schedule for the year. Plans for the second annu-al pre-St. Patrick’s Day party are underway, the

first of many planned along Nautical Mile ven-ues for 2014.

Tax Increment Finance Authority Chairman Richard Widgren’s words are not falling on deaf ears and he’s hoping area businesses start opening theirs — and their wallets.

At a recent TIFA board meeting, Widgren ex-pressed his concerns about how $6,000 in TIFA funding was used to support this summer’s Venetian Festival and called on the Nautical Mile Merchant’s Association to step up activities for the annual event it sponsors.

Donna Flaherty, president of the NMMA and a 16-year TIFA board member, took immediate action and is already organizing committees, seeking vol-unteers and raising interest from area businesses to make the event bigger and better. (See related story, page 2A.)

About 10 days before this year’s festival, Flaherty, wearing her NMMA hat, asked the TIFA board for money to pay for festival advertising at an emergen-cy board meeting arranged in part by member Joe Claycomb.

During the meeting, the board gave the NMMA $6,000 for promotion which Flaherty said went to-ward advertising on radio, in local newspapers and electronic media.

“It should have been out two weeks prior,” Flaherty said.

Widgren agreed, but added strings were attached.“When we authorized the funds in support, we in-

sisted on an accounting, what impact did the spend-ing have on the outcome and had we not invested in the publicity, would the festival have had a different outcome,” he said, explaining the board’s directive to the NMMA.

“Also part of that was a survey to business owners to see if business was any better than the year be-fore,” he said, noting the economy and weather made that difficult for businesses participating in the survey to determine.

That weekend, a two-day storm struck St. Clair Shores, resulting in downed trees.

“In conclusion, there was no indication what we did was not helpful and no indication if it was help-ful,” he said.

Widgren said a media consultant reported the money was helpful and more people came to the fes-tival, but that couldn’t be documented.

Barbara Iraci, manager of Brownies on the Lake, said on the event weekend, there was no noticeable uptick in patronage — it was “business as usual,” she said.

Sharing his opinion on what needs to be done to improve the event, Widgren quickly pointed a finger at area businesses.

“We believe the business community needs to em-brace it in a stronger fashion than they have. They

Members of the N a u t i c a l M i l e Merchant’s Association are heeding recently de-livered advice and are al-ready planning the 2014 July Venetian Festival.

Comments from Richard Widgren, chair-man of the Tax Increment Finance Authority and other members made during a Sept. 17 board meeting, were put into action al-most immediately, NMMA President Donna Flaherty said. (See relat-ed story, page 1A.)

At its September meet-ing, Flaherty began poll-ing the NMMA member-ship for ideas on how the event can be improved and include more resi-dents.

“We definitely want to enlarge it,” Flaherty said. “We want to make it the largest event on the mile.”

With a list of activities in hand, the membership was divided into commit-tees and a chairman as-signed. The idea gather-ing was expected to con-tinue at its Oct. 9 meet-ing.

“We want to improve communication, gather more volunteers and have more people taking responsibility for activi-ties,” she said.

The association is reaching out to area res-taurants and businesses that stand to benefit fi-nancially from the influx of visitors to the mile. Flaherty, however, de-fended business owners, saying many have donat-ed funds to the event.

“We just want to keep moving this forward and bring more people to the city,” she said.

This year, the group is encouraging city com-mittees to participate and promote themselves in the process. Flaherty said Councilman Pete Rubino, liaison to the TIFA board, has agreed to approach them.

“We invite them to take advantage of the promo-tion,” she said.

Other ideas to churn more excitement include better advertising along the Nautical Mile direct-ing passersby to events, a persisting issue.

Flaherty tipped her hat to Patty Mok, publicist for the Nautical Mile Yacht Club, and its mem-bership for sponsoring numerous activities and events at last year’s festi-val including concerts, a dinghy poker run and a boat lighting competi-tion in conjunction with area marinas.

Mok agrees with Widgen, stating im-proved communication and more teamwork is needed.

“It needs tweaking,” she said.

As a major event spon-sor, Mok said she wasn’t able to walk the mile and view what other groups were doing, but determined participants need “a bit more lee-way” and others need to be enticed to get on-board.

Mok said the yacht club’s goal was to get boaters interested.

“There’s a lot of room for improvement,” Mok said of the yacht club.

Of her overall opinion of the festival, Mok said, “From the outside look-ing in, there needs to be more commitment earli-er. Everybody needs to get more committed, they’ve got to be on

board earlier.“We (the yacht club

membership) had every-thing lined up in January. We plan very far ahead” because once boating season starts, “we don’t want to have to think about anything else,” she said.

“We’re doing this for the Nautical Mile, for the city of St. Clair Shores, we expect there to be a big push from the city. That needs to be stepped up a notch.”

Mok said most events sponsored by the yacht club were offered free and paid with funds the group raised through its dinghy full of cheer raf-fle and items it sells at other events.

Councilman Ron Frederick said the city used to be more in-volved in the Venetian

Festival but hasn’t in the last few years.

And no one has asked.“They need to say to

us what they need and what they need help do-ing,” he said, adding the city could possibly lend

a hand with advertising and fundraising.

“This is not a real city function,” he explained, adding no city group is specifically assigned to assist. Nor is the city re-sponsible for outright

funding.However, many city

officials, like himself, volunteer to deal black jack and other games of chance at the Wig’s 4 Kids casino night fund-raiser.

need to look at our help as something they should not depend upon. We’re going to have to see businesses be more engaged.”

“We need to have the business com-munity be more enthusiastic of festi-vals where the community as a whole is involved. We would like to see this be a lot more of a citizen’s showcase event in St. Clair Shores.”

He also agreed the event needs to appeal to more than boaters.

“There needs to be a much broader interest in the city of St. Clair Shores,” he said, suggesting the NMMA look toward the Harper Dream Cruise for inspiration on encouraging business participation.

Comments to improve the event made by TIFA board members includ-

ed event sponsors need to start plan-ning more than three months in ad-vance, residents need to be encour-aged to volunteer and the city needs to step up its involvement as well.

Widgren said when he asked the board who is to be targeted, who bene-fits and who they are trying to benefit with this event, the response was “a lot of looking around the room.

“If it’s intended to enhance business, I don’t see much of their involvement. Their glad to support it, but they don’t want to give money to the event.”

Widgren said TIFA hasn’t been asked yet to financially assist with this winter’s Aquafreeze event. But before they come asking, he needs to know who’s benefiting and expects to see significant involvement before TIFA can step up and help.

“We are committed to moving the lo-cal economy along and we actively pursue that,” he said of the board.

Volunteers helped out during the Venitian Festival this year with a variety of duties including the wheel of for-tune game at the casino night.

Venetian fest planning in the works

“I’ve been called all kinds of crazy,” said res-ident Emily Henze, sharing the ghostly ex-periences occurring in her circa 1958 Dorion Street house she shares with her husband, Erich, and two sets of twins.

Henze, who said she’s a medium, said things weren’t right from day one when her family moved into the house eight years ago. She was pregnant with her sec-ond set of twins.

“Through the years, we’ve been trying to prove ourselves sane,” she said of herself and her family who also ex-perience weird goings on and see poltergeists in their house.

These experiences, she said, has caused her to lose friends and fami-ly members — others will not enter the dwell-ing or allow her and her family into theirs. Calling in a team of paranormal experts pre-viously failed to eradi-cate the entities.

This hardship — and her desire to make the spirits go away — prompted her to contact

the producers of The Dead Files cable televi-sion show.

In June, The Dead Files investigators, re-tired New Your Police Department homicide detective Steve Di Schiavi and physical medium, Amy Allan, paid a visit. (See related story, at right.)

Henze said the show’s investigation team told Allan “a little of what was transpiring. We left some stuff out because we didn’t believe (the producers.)”

CasperSo as not to further

scare her children, whom she said have all seen apparitions and

things move and heard “disembodied voices,” Henze calls the main haunter, a “tall dark

cloud in the shape of a man,” “Casper.”

While no physical harm has come to her

children, Henze said she’s been scratched about four times and her hair pulled many

times, but believes Casper and his cohorts

Shores haunted house featured on ‘Dead Files’

The Dead Files, which airs on the Travel Channel at 10 p.m. Fridays, follows this format:

Neither retired New Your Police Department homicide detective Steve Di Schiavi or physical medium, Amy Allan, have contact with each oth-er during the investigation until the end when they share and discuss their findings with those who called on them for help and offer advice to eradicate their unwanted guests.

The investigationDi Schiavi’s job is to interview witnesses as

well as local historians and others that can help

supply information about the house, the area and other clues to determine what may be hap-pening in the house.

In the meantime, Allan’s husband, Matthew Anderson, enters the building alone to cover up any signs of family members, such as photo-graphs and historically significant items, so as not to influence Allan.

Allan then does a “walkthrough” with Anderson, who, using a handheld camcorder, documents her reactions inside and outside of

Show details and investigation

Last Friday, students at Rodgers Elementary were treated to an as-sembly that few will for-get anytime soon.

As the children streamed into the school gymnasium, most dressed in red and Red Wings attire, several Detroit Red Wings be-gan talking about the importance of educa-tion, proper nutrition, exercise and determina-tion among other things.

The high-energy pro-gram not only provoked a lot of excitement from the crowd, it also fea-

tures prize giveaways, games and a shoot-out with teachers.

Most notably, howev-er, was the introduction of former Red Wings

star, Kirk Maltby.“I have three kids of

my own now,” Maltby said. “And I would love for something like this to come to their school and talk to them about these important things.”

Maltby’s message re-inforced the program’s themes in a way that was awe-inspiring to an audience of Red Wings fans, as evident from

the thunderous cheers from the students with each sentence Maltby said.

“This message is im-portant,” Maltby said. “As parents you can tell your kids these things until your blue in the face, and it seems it just goes in one ear and out the other. But, when they get this message from people in an orga-

nization like the Red Wings, it’s seems they soak it in more and actu-ally listen to it.

“That’s why these kinds of things are im-portant to be a part of.”

For more than 60 min-utes, students were en-gaged and active partici-pants in the Red Wings School Assembly Program, answering and asking questions of

Maltby and the other “coaches” at the event.

“It’s fun. It’s educa-tional and it’s interac-tive,” he said. “That’s a pretty good combina-tion of things for these kids and I think that’s a big part of the reason they enjoy it so much.”

And of course, the Red Wings players and staff doesn’t hurt much ei-ther, Maltby added.

The St. Clair Shores Public Library is gearing up for Halloween with a pair of events this month, each catering to a different age group of Halloween fans.

The first, geared to-

ward the older children, is the library’s annual Teen Halloween Party.

This monster bash gets underway at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 26, in the conference room off the children’s section of the library. The event is scheduled to run until 8:30 p.m.

“It’s open to teens sixth grade and up,” said

Yo u t h S e r v i c e s L i b r a r i a n D a l e Humeston. “And there’s no charge for the party at all.”

Teens are encouraged to dress up in their fa-vorite costume and en-joy treats, games, a cos-tume contest, crafts and music.

“The teens really have a good time,” she said.

“Anytime they can get dressed up in their cos-tumes, they really enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun for them and for everyone involved.”

Registration is re-quired.

“You do have to regis-ter so we have an idea of how many teens will be there,” she said. “It’s not hard to register either. Just come into the li-brary or call (586) 771-9020."

The party is hosted by the library with help from the Teen Advisory Board and the Friend’s of the Library.

T h e s e c o n d Halloween event is more for the little ones, Humeston said.

“We’re having our Halloween craft event for them,” she said. “They can come right in and make a great Halloween craft right here at the library.”

From 2 to 4 p.m., Saturday, Oct. 26, at the library, children of all ages can come and put together a craft to cele-brate the Halloween

season, Humeston said.“There’s no registra-

tion or anything like that for this,” she said. “You just have to come on by, drop in and have a good

time making a craft. It’s really something the lit-tle ones enjoy and I’d say that the parents en-joy seeing them do this too. It’s a lot of fun.”

the targeted property. Allan also sketches what she saw and reveals them at the end of the show.

The resultsDi Schaivi’s investiga-

tion revealed the proper-ty was previously owned in 1860 by a merchant marine that died in the house.

He however didn’t dis-cover what Henze did — she said there used to be

a child’s cemetery on 12 Mile and Jefferson, not far from her neighbor-hood. She also learned the owner’s girlfriend, known as “Virginia,” fell down the basement stairs Thanksgiving Day.

Allan, Henze said, “pretty much agreed with

my claims.”When Allan revealed

her sketches one was of a “string of lights” Henze described as “a little hair that lights up with elec-tricity” she’s seen often, but did not tell producers about.

Allan sketched a pic-ture of a “black snake-like man” in the back-yard, the same apparition she and her family be-lieve to be “more of a dog-like creature.”

Allan said the creature was “someone who passed and the polter-geists were eating away at him, taking his ener-gy,” Henze said.

Their advice

Hire a Shaman, which, according to the Merriam Webster dictionary is de-fined as someone who “cures illnesses, directs communal sacrifices, and escorts the souls of the dead to the other world.”

Allan suggested Henze wash the walls of her house with salt water, a spice believed to be feared by ghosts, and a “laundry list” of others.

Follow-upHenze said she did as

directed and even though she doesn’t believe in “that witchy stuff or reli-gion” she hired a shaman who “made it worse.”

“Now I see the shadow guy (Casper) every day

and another woman ghost has interacted with us and she’s not friendly,” Henze said.

“Personally I don’t be-lieve that anything any-one can do will get rid of them. It’s energy. I don’t think anybody can make them leave unless they want to.”

Her conclusion“Reality TV is a thin

line,” she said. “But it was a great experience.”

See for yourselfHighlights of the sea-

son five premiere of The Dead Files, which airs at 10 p.m. Friday, Nov. 1, features the Henze house.

may be “malicious,” but mean no harm.

“I’ve never had a feel-ing of them being evil or demonic,” she said. “It may sound odd, but I think it’s a neat experi-ence. You’re in awe.”

The children — espe-

cially the youngest set of twins — are non-plussed, she said, add-ing on occasion they re-port Casper is in their rooms. Either she or her husband tells Casper to leave and he does, she said.

One day Casper was in her son’s room where he enjoys “messing with” her son’s model car collection. One of the models flew off the shelf and Casper said “sorry” to her son.

Everyday life“There’s never a dull

moment around here,” Henze said, adding doors fly open and slam shut, items fly off shelves, a disembodied voice screams “mam-ma” when her children aren’t at home and a lit-tle girl ghost peaks around the corners in the basement.

And in the backyard, a black dog-like character plays.

One day, she said she was sharing with her husband that she had heartburn. A disembod-ied voice asked, “What have you been eating?”

Another time her son came into the kitchen asking for water and the faucet turned on full blast, she said.

Laundry can some-times be extra work with a ghost child around, Henze said, re-counting the day she was doing laundry and after the third load went in the dryer, the clothes from the next load were still wet.

“I heard giggling and saw a shadow child, he was about 7 or 8 years old wearing a bright yellow shirt,” she said, noting the dryer setting was changed to air fluff.

One evening, while out in the garage with her husband, the couple heard disembodied chil-dren’s voices singing “Ring around the Rosey.”

“It’s a hoot. You don’t know what’s going to happen,” Henze said. “We just giggle about it.”

And while she’s be-come accustomed to the poltergeists in her life, “I don’t really care for when I’m trying to go to sleep and they say my name and tell me to wake up,” she said.

Caught on tapeHenze said she has

thousands of hours of video and audio tape of her ghostly houseguests — and a few still photo-graphs.

She explained an EVP (electronic voice phe-nomena) digital record-er has captured their chatter. The device, she said captures the higher frequency spirits are believed to communi-cate.

A camcorder placed in the basement cap-tured a young girl in the basement and during a birthday party, photos revealed an extra child standing by, watching the festivities.

HAUNTED

Continued from page 3A

INVESTIGATIONContinued from page 3A

‘I’ve never had a feeling of them being evil or demonic,’ she said. ‘It may sound odd, but I think it’s a neat experience. You’re in awe.’

— Emily Henze, St. Clair Shores resident

Aside from the obvi-ous Memorial Day pa-

rade and July 4th fire-works events held in the city this summer, some were better planned and attended than others.

But planning may be ev-erything in some cases.

While the city’s initial ef-fort to host a national bass tournament was not well received by locals, the number of sports fisher-men exceeded expecta-tions.

Some city officials, civic leaders and businesses blamed the lack of a near-by hotel for tournament participants hitting the highway and not staying within the city limits to spend their money at local bars and restaurants.

Some restaurant own-ers said their sales in-creased that day and we noted full parking lots at a few restaurants, people waiting in line to gas up and a line at a local fishing supply shop.

But that’s not what some area businesses had in mind. Many anticipated their stores to be packed with visitors and restau-rants to be full all day and evening.

Perhaps some out-of-towners were concerned about drinking and driv-ing? A wise decision on their part.

However the city’s po-lice and court system could benefit from tickets and related court costs, perhaps lowering the bur-den of paying back the bonds to finance the new court house or encourag-ing the city to make much needed upgrades to the dungeon-like police de-partment.

But that’s yet another story.

Many residents and civ-ic leaders pointed an accu-satory finger toward the business community for not getting behind city events. In some cases, we agree; in others, not so much.

For example, Marchiori Catering supplied food for not only the bass tourna-ment but helps with other fundraisers in the city. Also with the bass tourney, restaurants hungry for their business did not sup-ply coupons, gift certifi-cates or offer specials to the fisherman to be includ-ed in the Nautical Mile Merchant’s Association’s give-away bag for partici-pants.

Speaking of the NMMA, its Venetian Festival, from our vantage point, was little attended, disorganized and failed to meet the organization’s expectations.

We support Tax Increment Finance Authority Chairman Richard Widgren’s opin-ion. (See related story, page 1A) and even more strongly Donna Flaherty and NMMA members who are heeding his ad-vice. (See related story, page 2A.)

If we didn’t know the festival was going on, a trip down Jefferson for our staffers out that weekend would have seemed like any other. There was traf-fic into the marinas, but no signs posting what was happening or directing where events were taking place.

All larger restaurants on the east side of Jefferson

have message boards where at minimum, they could have announced the event, its dates and activi-ties occurring within their boundaries that weekend.

A similar message board was posted in front of the Kolping Center ad-vertising the Wigs 4 Kids casino night. More such signs would have drawn more participants.

However, we caution using an Aquafest banner we noted attached to a fence adjacent to the Kolping Center. That was last year’s news.

We were at casino night in the early evening hours until about 9 p.m. both Friday and Saturday night and were surprised by the lack of participants. On one occasion, more peo-

ple were seated at the bar than at the gaming tables.

We must applaud the Nautical Mile Yacht Club for its participation in Venetian Festival. If not for this group, entertain-ment for both boaters and regular folk would have waned significantly — major kudos for a club whose upstart was just a few months before the event.

The group sponsored bands at two locales, a dinghy poker run and oth-er activities we found more than suitable to draw in the crowds.

Our hats off, especially to publicist Patty Mok, who continues to offer ac-tivities that draw crowds to the mile. Stand by — the group is sponsoring a

Halloween party Oct. 19 at Brownies on the Lake featuring the Ghoul, a gift to those who remember the 1962 film, “The day of the Triffids” and enter-tainer Ron Sweed’s hijinx on the late night comedy show which took center stage over the B-movie horror films it introduced.

Other successful events bearing note that are well-attended and anticipated are the Optimists Club of St. Clair Shores Poinsetta Ball, the special needs fishing tournament, the Harper Dream Cruise, Hot Rods and Hotcakes and new this year, the Country Music Fest, spon-sored by the St. Clair Shores Activities Committee. Word has it the 2014 festival is planned for Aug 2-3, ac-cording to its Facebook page.

One additive to the Country Music Fest that other activities lacked was a beer tent. Again we are not condoning alcohol use, however the offering, we believe, drew more at-tendance.

And while not as well attended, fledgling activi-

ties, such as the Cool Cities Committee’s 80s night/movie in the park, show great promise. This is one such group we think could easily team with the NMMA and offer an event in conjunction with the Venetian Fest.

We strongly encourage groups, organizations and residents-at-large to work together to improve cur-rent entertainment events and offerings and create new ones. Contact event sponsors and get in-

volved. The city could help by posting more of these events on its Facebook page and web-site. However, that may mean organizers need to do better PR.

We are behind you all. Any city committee wish-ing to get press on its ac-tivities is encouraged to e-mail editor@scsconnec-tion.com.

Promoting the city and keeping its residents in-formed is what we’re here for!

Keys, wallet swipedA 55-year-old Harper

Woods man lost more than a few calories while work-ing out at LA Fitness on Harper at 6:30 p.m. Sept. 23. He lost his work keys and wallet.

The man reported to po-

lice his keys and wallet were swiped from his Northface coat he left be-hind while he worked out at the fitness center. There are no suspects.

Laptop goneA Macomb Township

man reported his laptop was stolen out of his vehi-cle parked behind a busi-ness in the 23000 block of Greater Mack at about 2

p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 1.The man told police the

driver’s side window was slightly cracked. He didn’t notice the laptop missing

until he returned home and looked for it about four hours later.

Police are researching whether an area business has video available that may help identify the thief.

Misc. items thefted

The store manager of a local CVS Pharmacy told police a woman about 18 years old, 6 feet tall, 160 pounds walked out of the store without paying for a basket of miscellaneous items she picked up from the store at about 8:47 p.m. Monday, Sept. 30.

Shortly thereafter the manager received a call from another shopper re-porting he was following the woman driving a 1997 Mercury with rear-end damage and lost her at Martin and I-94.

Ex-girlfriend, perhaps?

Police are looking into

a report of malicious de-struction of property of a vehicle parked in the 22000 block of Grossedale overnight Saturday, Sept, 28.

The 22-year-old fe-male victim told police she was parked over-night in front of her boy-friends’s house. The next day, she noticed someone had thrown food, later identified by police as crackers and “some kind of sauce” and used pink nail pol-ish on the windows and the trunk of the wom-an’s vehicle.

The boyfriend was able to remove all, ex-cept the nail polish on the trunk.

The woman told po-lice similar instances happened “several times since January,” but she did not report them to police.

Know Your SkinBy Lisa A. Manz-Dulac, MD

Th e return to school and indoors as summer comes to an end can precipitate more contact between people and an increase in certain infections. One such condition is scabies, characterized by a rash that itches intensely at night, located anywhere below the face.

Scabies is a highly contagious skin disease spread by skin to skin contact. Caused by a mite too small to see with the naked eye, scabies can occur anywhere on the skin. It aff ects men, women and children of all ages, with the most common areas of infection being the hands, breasts, armpits, genital area and waistline.

Untreated, rashes may become raw and bleed due to aggressive scratching. Because rashes can indicate other skin conditions, such as dermatitis, it is important

that patients who suspect a scabies infection see their physician or dermatologist to confi rm the diagnosis.

Fortunately, there are safe and eff ective treatments that will eliminate scabies and relieve the itching. In many circumstances, all members of the family will need to be treated along with the infected patient.

To learn more about scabies and its treatment, contact your dermatologist or call us at Eastside Dermatology, Dr. Lisa A. Manz-Dulac and Associates.Eastside Dermatology has offi ces in New Baltimore and Grosse Pointe Woods. You can reach them at (313) 884-3380.

SECTION B ◆ ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION ◆ THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 2013

During their visit to Selfridge Air National Guard base Saturday, Sept. 14, members of the National Commission on the Structure of the Air Force saw firsthand how National Guard members utilize their ci-vilian career skills in carrying out their mili-tary duties.

The commissioners al-so witnessed interagen-cy cooperation at work in various national secu-rity missions.

That afternoon, the commission conducted a public hearing, taking statements from state and local government officials and emergency response authorities as well as commanders and supervisors from guard units across the state.

The hearing and site visit were part of the commission’s congres-sionally mandated mis-sion to comprehensively study the U.S. Air Force and its three compo-nents—the active, the Reserve, and Air National Guard—for an independent analysis to determine if and how the Air Force’s structure should be modified to best fill current and fu-ture mission require-ments with available re-sources.

The report and recom-mendations are due to the president and Congress Feb. 1.

These site visits allow the commissioners to get outside the nation’s capital and into the world of the airmen where they serve. Commissioners on this visit were the Vice Chairwoman, the H o n o r a b l e E r i n Conaton; Lt. Gen. (Ret.) Harry “Bud” Wyatt, ANG; and Dr. Janine Davidson.

G u a r d l e a d e r s stressed the Air Guard’s role in both national and state missions.

“We are the value for America,” Michigan Adjutant General Maj Gen Gregory J. Vadnais told the commissioners at the hearing. “And as you travel the country and deliberate your findings, please keep one thing in mind: the

structure of the Air Force and the military as a whole comes down to how much capability and readiness you are able to purchase.”

The commissioners were looking for frank feedback — and they got it from Chief Master Sergeant Raymond Carroll of the 127th Miss ion Suppor t Group’s Civil Engineer Squadron at Selfridge.

“I appreciate your de-sire for candor,” he said before replying to the commissioners’ ques-tioning why a state gov-ernor would need ground-support attack aircraft like the A-10 or air refueling tankers such as the KC-135.

“I don’t care about air-planes,” Carroll contin-ued. “But the governor needs the support groups that come with those airplanes. The Mission Support Group

wants to be ready and relevant — and we are.”

The commissioners al-so heard testimony that aircraft, such as the A-10, have capabilities that could be used for responding to natural disasters.

C o l o n e l S e a n Southworth, command-er of the 217 Air Operations Group, re-ferred to the guard’s federal mission when he told the commissioners, “If we don’t have the same equipment, we’re not relevant.”

Retired Brigadier General Mike Peplinski, former 127th Wing com-mander at Selfridge, de-bunked what he said is a persistent but unfound-ed belief that guard members would have lesser combat skills than active personnel.

“After 20 years of the operational reserve, why would you expect to see a difference?”

The day started with the commissioners shar-ing breakfast with air-men on the base, a mo-ment of interaction with enlisted personnel that has become a standard practice on these site visits. The commission-ers then received a brief-ing on Michigan Air Guard units from Maj.

Gen. Vadnais and heard from leaders of the other tenant entities at Selfridge representing the Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, and Customs and Border Protection Agency.

Each briefer highlight-ed the interagency coop-eration that allows them to reduce operational costs while sharing ex-pertise.

Commissioners ob-served activities across the spectrum of mis-sions performed by the Air National Guard’s 127th wing’s A-10 and KC-135 units and exam-ined the Joint Reserve Intelligence Center on the base.

Airmen of all ranks stressed their willing-ness to take on more de-ployments if they were legally able.

“Our people are very flexible at flexing,” one guardsman said.

Unit leaders described the talent that guard members bring from their civilian careers. “We pay them for two days a month, but they bring a great amount of support to the fight,” said Lieutenant Colonel Thomas Sierakowski, commander of the 127th Civi l Engineering Squadron.

At the hearing, in addi-tion to Maj Gen Vadnais, commander of the Michigan Air National Guard, Brig Gen Leonard Isabelle, ad-dressed the commission-ers. Also testifying were the senior commanders of Michigan Air National Guard units: Col Michael T. Thomas, commander of the 127 Wing at Selfridge; Col. Ronald W. Wilson, commander of the 110th 127 Battle Creek Air National Guard Base; and Col Bryan J. Teff, command-er of the Alpena Combat Readiness Training Center.

Air guard squadron commanders and super-intendents as well as community leaders, in-cluding Alpena’s Mayor Matt Waligora, also ad-dressed the commission. For more information on the commission, visit whs.mil.

CITY CALENDARCamille Schmidt Campau, of St. Clair Shores, ob-

served her 100th birthday at the Grosse Pointe Yacht Club Saturday, Oct. 5.

According to her great niece, Cathy Kegler, Campau was born Oct. 5, 1913, and left home at the age of 15 to “intercede for the nuns” at St. Paul on the Lake Catholic Church’s convent. The nuns were cloistered and not allowed to speak to male workers. Campau married Edwin Campau and lived on Muir in Grosse Pointe Farms, next door to her mother-in-law, Mame. Her only son, John, died.

The family owned land in St. Clair Shores, now called Chapoton Woods. Kegler said “during the Depression the family let the ‘worthless’ land revert back to the state.”

Campau was joined for her birthday celebration by her niece, Pat Perry, and Ed Winters of New Port Richey, Fla.; Kegler and her husband, Ned, of Catawba Island, Ohio; great-niece Beth Perry, and Jeff Roach; great-great niece Vanessa Perry Road of Chicago and Waterford; great-niece Kathleen Perry of Edgewater, Colo.; and great-niece Stephanie Malnight of Lafayette, Ind.

St. Clair Shores woman observes 100th birthday

GMC’s com-pact Terrain utility ve-hicle adds

a new model this year: the Terrain Denali joins the SLE and SLT. A long list of standard and op-tional luxury and techni-cal features make the Denali the best-dressed member of the 2013 Terrain branch of the GMC family of utilities and light trucks.

The Terrain, wearing the upscale Denali badge, can be ordered with GM’s Ecotec 2.4-li-ter four with direct in-jection and camshaft phasing. Its fuel econo-my numbers are 22 city/32 highway for front drive and 20 city/29 highway for the Terrain with all-wheel drive. This is the standard en-gine for all Terrains, in-cluding the Denali.

For 2013, the V-6 avail-able in the Terrain has been upgraded from a 3.0-liter six to a 301 horse-power direct-injection 3.6-liter. GMC points out the larger V-6 engine of-fers 14 percent more horsepower and 22 per-cent more torque than its predecessor while provid-ing the same fuel econo-my: 24 miles per gallon in highway driving in the front-drive model. City economy is 17 mpg with front drive and 16 mpg for models with all-wheel drive.

Both engines are mated with GM’s six-speed auto-matic transmission. All models are available with either front or all-wheel drive. The test Terrain

Denali featured all-wheel drive.

The practiced automo-tive eye, trained on GMC’s Denali trims on the Sierra pickup or Yukon full-size sport utility, can spot the

Terrain Denali by its use of chrome including chrome door handles, special wheels, roof rack side rails, rich me-tallic paint and an intri-

Terrain Denali: all that glitters

See DENALI, page 4B

PHOTO BY JENNY KING

GMC has added its Denali up-market fea-tures to the Terrain compact utility vehicle for model year 2013. The 2013 Terrain has sporty lines to match the all-wheel drive that is available on all mod-els: SLE, SLT and the new Denali.

YOUR GUIDE FOR LOCAL RESTAURANTS, BAKERIES & CONFECTIONERIES

cate grille. Wheels will be 18 or 19 inches.

The test Terrain Denali with color-touch seven-inch info/radio screen, smartphone integration, voice-activated audio con-trols, leather-appointed seats, heated front seats and a rear vision camera system was priced at $36,675.

In addition, it was equipped with a $235 car-go package; the larger 3.6-liter V-6 priced at $1,750; a $1,295 rear-seat entertainment system with screens on the backs of the front-seat head-rests; $795 navigation system; paint upgrade; and a $350 trailering package. The vehicle

with options ran $41,595, plus $895 destination.

All Terrain models in-clude four-wheel disc brakes with GM’s StabiliTrak electronic sta-bility control and traction control. There are six stan-dard air bags — far fewer than are found in many ve-hicles currently on the market. They include dual frontal, head curtain side and pelvic/thorax seat-mounted side air bags.

Radar-based safety technologies side blind zone alert and rear cross traffic alert are standard on the Denali model as are camera-based forward collision alert and lane de-parture warning. This crash-avoidance system visually and audibly warns drivers when a collision is imminent or the vehicle crosses a lane marker.

New dual-flow dampers are exclusive to the Terrain Denali’s suspen-sion system. GM said this technology provides a

smoother ride and im-proved handling by con-trolling suspension damp-ening across a broader range of driving.

Luxury interior touches comprise a soft-touch in-strument panel with French stitching, Denali logos on seat backs, wood

trim accents, illuminated front sill plates, a standard sunroof and eight-way power driver and front passenger seats.

Rear-seat passengers are likely to feel cramped in the Terrain. With front seats in average positions, rear-seat legroom is com-promised. Long-legger front seaters would cramp those in the second row.

We also found visibility limited by rear-seat head-rests and both B- and C-pillars. We needed the backup camera and cross-traffic and blind-spot alerts.

The Terrain SLE with front drive starts at $27,200. The SLT with front drive is priced at $30,250.

In government crash tests, the Terrain had an overall score of four out of five stars.

Final assembly for the Terrain is at GM’s Ingersoll, Ontario plant.
