Energy savings brought to lightBy Brad LindbergStaff Writer
GROSSE POINTE SHORES — Estimated energy savings from city-wide capital improvements since June total $57,000.
“The biggest savings I see is LED lighting,” said Grosse Pointe Shores Mayor Ted Kedzierski.
Figures come from a 57-page summary by project contractor, Honeywell.
Company representatives guaranteed the $1.6 million project will more than pay for itself over 16 years in energy and operational savings.
“It’s a preliminary report,” Councilman Robert Barrette said.
As a retired DTE Energy manager, Barrette is

GROSSE POINTE FARMS —Medical professionals, counselors, teachers and members of the law enforcement officials came together Thursday, Feb. 26 to discuss issues related to drug and alcohol abuse within the community.
Over 200 people heard experts address issues confronting young people, including prescription drug abuse, the easy accessibility of heroin and other drugs and the legal consequences young people face if caught violating laws related to drugs and alcohol.
The event was coordinated by The Family Center.
Kenneth Krygel, a drug and alcohol recognition expert with the Macomb Community College Criminal Justice
Training Center, talked about dozens of illegal drugs young people are exposed to at “underground parties,” as well the easy availability of prescription drugs.
Grosse Pointe Farms Public Safety Detective John Walko and Grosse Pointe South Counselor Catherine Zatkoff explained the legal issues facing young people convicted of drug or alcohol violations, including the loss of
financial aid for those in college. South P r in c ip a l M oussa H am ka a lso addressed the controversy over what several students believed was random drug testing.
“We don’t randomly search or test anyone,” Hamka said. “But if we suspect a student, we will follow up. South

F isher d istrict redevelopm ent se tBy Brad LindbergStaffWriter
CITY OF GROSSE POINTE — The mayor has a soft spot for the Fisher commercial district betw een Maumee and St. Paul.
“It’s such an eclectic, cool little b lock,” said Mayor Dale Scrace.
He, the city council and m an ag er ag reed th is week to propose a new and inviting streetscape on Fisher, the smallest of three commercial zones in the City of G rosse Pointe.
Construction will correspond with rep lace ment either this year or next of a w ater main under the F isher sidewalk, plus a p roperty o w n e r ’s a n tic ip a te d redevelopm ent of com mercial structures on the block.
“We have money in this fiscal y e a r’s budget to replace the water main,” said Peter Dame, city manager.
H e’ll se ek o u ts id e f u n d in g , in c lu d in g matching grants, to pay for streetscape improvements.
A similar strategy last
year produced a new w a te r m a in a n d streetscape in the Mack business district.
Dame intends to solicit Fisher property and busi- n e s s o w n e r s f o r streetscape ideas.
Fisher redevelopm ent is the most visible council priority for the com ing fiscal year, 2015-2016.
Most o ther goals are financial.
All depend on keeping costs down.
“As lo n g as o u r expenses rem ain within the rate of inflation, we expect to have a stable f in a n c ia l s i t u a t io n because our revenues are tied primarily to property taxes, which can only increase at the rate of inflation,” Dame said.
Goals are:♦ Budget a year of re
tiree healthcare costs to avoid dipping into reserve funds.♦ Revive the practice —
dormant nearly 10 years — of transferring excess funds, beyond those needed to maintain reserves equaling 20 percent of the general fund, into the capital projects fund.
“T here is rea lly no source of funds for the cap ita l p ro jec ts fund e x c e p t fo r e x c e s s money,” Dame said.♦ Settle two labor con
tracts ending June 30 — public safety command, plus public works and parks employees — within the rate of inflation.
“If we keep employee costs, which are roughly 80 to 85 percent of our operating costs, w ithin the rate of inflation, our overall budget will stay within the general budget param eters we have to live under,” Dame said.♦ Hire an additional
full-time public services employee licensed to operate a rubbish truck.
“We’ve been operating short-staffed for much of the last 1 1/2 y e a rs ,” Dame said.
Attem pts failed to fill the gap with two part- timers.
“Our conclusion, after many attem pts, is you have to offer a full-time job to attract a (commercially licensed) driver,” Dame said.
“It makes sense to fill th a t p o s it io n ,” sa id C o u n c i lm a n D o n Parthum.

Bowens said the experience of the Santorum visit helps him with skill- sets he values most - the ability to lead and p ro vide a voice.
If e lec ted , B ow ens would be the first African A m erican to serve the leadersh ip role in 119 years. In fact, he’s be the first African American to serve as state chairm an in the United States.
“The leadership role is for fundraising and providing a voice for s tu d e n t s a l l a c r o s s Michigan,” said Bowens, who will attend a state conven tion in G rand

Along with the hope of providing that voice, finish ing his accelera ted schoo l sch ed u le and enjoying the life of a college student, Bowens will become the fifth generation in his family to serve his country . He will become an officer in the U.S. Army.
“I can’t even begin to describe the feeling I have being able to follow my fam ily th is way,” B ow ens said . “I will proudly serve and then w e’ll see w hat happens in 20 years.”
Bowens said his family, including his father, Greg B ow ens, h is m o th e r Jeann ine Gant and his sister, Zora Bowens and s te p -b ro th e r , J u lia n Thomas, are an inspiration every day.
“My family and a lot of people in Grosse Pointe helped me get to where I am today,” Bowens said. “It’s a community of indi- v id u a ls w h o h a v e achieved so much, and I wouldn’t here if it was for G ro sse P o in te an d Grosse Pointe South.”
C o m m u n ity -m in d ed and politically-charged people like Clark Durant, a re s id e n t of G rosse Pointe Farm s and the CEO and fo u n d er of C o rn e rs to n e Schools, also made an impression.
“Clark Durant was my biggest m entor in the co m m u n ity ,” Bow ens said. There are so many people Grosse Pointe students can reach out to and they will help you.
“T here are so m any good things there. I plan to move back some day and raise my kids there.”

Hamka also noted that, by law, sch o o ls are required to report s tu dents they suspect are drinking or using drugs in school.
“We want to see a drug free zone in our schools,” Zatkoff said.
W alko a lso ta lk e d about the impact of social media on young people.
“Kids don ’t have a chance to make mistakes anymore because everything they do is being videotaped and shared on social m edia sites,” he
said.Keynote speaker Debra
Jay stressed the importance of family in treatment of family members with drug and alcohol issues.
“R ecovering add icts and their families both want the same thing, they all want happiness,” she said.
“The Family C enter raised a painful subject and almost 200 Grosse Pointe parents and professionals responded ,” said The Family Center founder Diane Strickler. “They learned tha t the Internet informs our children on how to create powerful potions from remedies in our medicine cabinets. I sincerely hope that the attendees went home with new tools and insight to recognize and address the all too common game of drug roulette.”

lie safety director.There w ere 231 total
crim es rep o rted com pared with 226 in 2013 — an increase of five.
The figures are in the d e p a r tm e n t’s a n n u a l report for 2014, released this week.
Most of the additional la r c e n ie s h a p p e n e d within a short period.
“We had a rash of cars broken into — five or six cars w ithin a two-night period,” Poloni said. “All the Pointes did.”
Crimes are cataloged in two general ca tegories, index and n o n index, per the FBI.
Index crimesIndex crim es consist
of eight offenses the FBI rates most serious, rang- iqg^ from larceny over $S0 to murder.
i“ I n d e x c r i m e s
increased 7 percen t in 2014,” Poloni said. “The actual num ber of index crim es reported to the d e p a rtm e n t w as 103, which increased from 96 reported in 2013.”
Some 78 reports of larceny w ere last y e a r ’s m ost com m on index crime.
The figure com pares with 70 reported in 2013, w h e n la r c e n y a lso topped the list and contribu ted to a four-year average of 76 larceny cases.
The second most frequent index crim e last year, hom e invasion , reached 13 reports, up two cases from 2013 and less than the four-year average of nea rly 17 cases annually.
Auto th eft cam e in th ird , w ith eight inc idents, two less than in 2013, but twice the four cases reported in 2012.
Four instances of felonious assault w ere the only other index crimes logged last year in the city. T he f ig u re is unchanged from 2013.
There were no cases of arm ed or unarm ed robbery, compared with one arm ed robbery in each of the two prior years.
Non-index crimesA lthough victim s of
non-index crim es may
disagree, crim es in that category are rated less serious.
They range from runaway juveniles to sexual offenses other than rape.
Statistically, 2014 was a w ashout in term s of non-index crimes.
“N o n -in d ex c rim es rem ained the sam e in 2014,” Poloni said.
Totals each year were 130.
The city’s th ree m ost c o m m o n n o n - in d e x crimes last year were:♦ fraud, 27 instances
compared with 37 during 2013;♦ m alicious destruc
tion of property, 31, some 2 1/2 times the 12 cases of the previous year and♦ driving while intoxi
cated, 31, cases versus 26 in 2013.
ArrestsThe departm en t’s 23
officers, m ost of whom are prim arily assigned p a tro l duty, responded last year to 5,121 calls for service, a 2 percent increase from 2013.
R esponses averaged 14 p e r day, the m ost since 2012, w hen officers responded a total of 4,508 times.
“Total adult arrests for the year were 88,” Poloni said. “There w ere also 61 juveniles detained for various offenses, which
w as a slight decrease from 2013.”
Of 61 to ta l offenses committed by juveniles, most — 17 each — were family trouble and malicious mischief.
There were two cases each of car th eft and open house party.
Juvenile offenses compared w ith 67 during 2013 and were less than half of the 124 reported during 2012.
O fficers issued 826 traffic tickets and 359 parking violations.
FiresCity law enforcem ent
officers are cross-trained in fire fighting.
A l t h o u g h t h e y responded last year to 356 fire-related reports, there were no property losses last year due to fire.
Officers responded to 33 alarm s, 29 instances of fallen electrical wires
^aud conducted 20 smoke investigations.
“M ost of o u r f ire responses (15) were for m utual aid outside our community,” Poloni said.
A m b u la n c e r u n s totaled 236.

D uring the f a th e r ’s a tte m p te d d iscu ss io n with his son earlier in the w eek regarding “financial m atters,” the son’s display of a knife capped m onths of aggressive conduct and prom pted the father to seek help at public safety headquarters, according to police.
“(The son) said his dad ‘needles’ him; that is why he punched holes in doors,” according to an officer.
Officers, aided by a St. Clair Shores police dog, searched the house for drugs and paraphernalia.
They reported finding two grams of marijuana, four pipes, two vaporizers, rolling papers and three knives.

GROSSE POINTE NEWS MISSION STATEMENTTo provide the Grosse Pointes the most relevant,
accurate and timely information in our print and online publications.
I S A Y ByJohnMcTaggart
My job is to tell your stories
I had always wanted to live in the Grosse Pointes. And roughly three years ago, that happened
for me.
My family and I moved into a house in the Woods — a wonderful block where neighbors chat on porches in the summertime, help one
another shovel snow in the winter, routinely take walks with their dogs around the block and stop to say, “hello.”
At the end of 2014,1 was honored by this publication and asked to cover a pair of communities in the Pointes, the Woods and the Park.
I’m thrilled to be taking my small place in the long and storied legacy of The Grosse Pointe News and have been working hard to cover each of these cities with informative, entertaining and interesting stories and photographs.
However, being a writer and photographer in these cities is a collaborative effort.
Much of my job is dependent on members of these communities and beyond.
City officials including Dale Krajniak, TertV Solomon, Dave Hiller, Gregory Theokas aricf others in the Park, Skip Fincham, Nicole Byron, Bruce Smith, Joe Ahee and others in the Woods, have been wonderful, helpful and each has been very accessible.
However, I believe a big part of my role is to tell the stories of the residents and businesses in these communities.
There is so much more to the Pointes than just news, crime reports and city-sponsored events.
This community is full of interesting people, living interesting and amazing lives.
Many are changing the world in some fashion. Others are carving out their place in the community through charitable work or their business.
I want to tell these stories to our readers, each week — it’s what I do best.
Of course, coverage of the news, and more importantly, how it effects residents, is important and certainly has a place in this publication.
That said, you are the fabric of this community. Woven through this wonderful tapestry are amaz
ing tales of neighbors, friends, colleagues and fellow residents.
In order to tell these stories, however, I need your help.
A phone call. An e-mail. A second of your time at a coffee shop — any way to get the idea to me is fine. Without this information, I can’t conduct interviews. I can’t take photos. I can’t tell the stories.
The Grosse Pointe News, celebrating 75 years, is a true community newspaper.
It belongs to everyone in the Pointes, every resident, every person who comes here to work, everyone.
I have always wanted to live in the Grosse Pointes.
Now that I do, I want to help tell the stories that make this such an amazing place to call home.

Concerns overconsolidationissueTo the Editor:
In re a d in g E ile e n W ullschleger’s letter to the ed itor published in the Feb. 26 paper, I find m yself concerned over the belief consolidating our police departm ents
w ould be c h e ap e r or b e n e fic ia l, le t a lone solve m ore p rob lem s than it creates.
C o s t-p e r-u n it m any tim es increases ra th e r th a n d e c re a s e s w ith consolidation. It would, therefore, be presum ptuous to assum e consolid a tio n of any type would be cost effective let alone be devoid of the “unforeseen consequences” that often follo w s u c h g i ld e d promises.
W here I live, in the Shores, our EMS, fire, and police are p ro fessional, vigilant, expeditio u s an d th e re fo re effective. So swift is our po lice re sp o n se tim e that it appears to m irror a m atter of seconds. So why would we residents of GPS desire change?
W ould we have to adopt all the codes of o u r o v e r - r e g u la te d neighbors?
Should we re-train our already highly tra ined officers? No.
If, and only if, your police departments were broken, then it’s up to you to fix it for yourself. Not to combine the police departments of others in a hope that it would solve your problems.

M ichigan w as the second state to put the ballot question of w om en’s right to vote in 1874, Fijol said. “And it failed m iserably.”
The suffragettes w eren ’t w orking for ju s t one issue, she said, bu t w ere w orking to co rrec t the identity of w om en — dom estic angels — not to be heard outside the house.

The m en’s fears of w om en voting would m ean they m ight have to feed the baby and w ash dishes. Fijol said, m en w ere convinced w om en voting would m ean they w ould abandon the ir fam ilies.

However, the tide was changing.
In 1906, C lara Arthur, M ichigan Equal Suffrage A ssociation president, pushed to change the sta te constitu tion allow ing w om en to vote on tax and bond issues in 1906. It was OK for w om en to vote on school bond issues because, a fte r all, they w ere tak ing care of the children.
The voting right question appeared again in N ovem ber1912 and failed by 760 votes because ballo ts d isappeared and w ere burned . The spring1913 vote again w as a lso defeated . People cou ldn’t get to the polls because the roads w ere muddy, Fijol said.
Gov. A lbert S leeper pu t the question before the vo ters in 1918 and it w as approved.

A gencies, com m unity team for arrestBy John McTaggartStaffWriter
GROSSE POINTE WOODS — The work of Woods public safety officers , de tec tiv es , the M ichigan State Police Fugitive Task Force, Crime Stoppers and the community as a whole, made the streets a bit safer with the arrest of Daryl Brice A tchison, Tuesday, Feb. 24.
Atchison allegedly held up the Charter One Bank branch on Mack Friday, Feb. 13, passing a note to the teller before fleeing with an unknown amount of cash.
Woods Public Safety D irector Bruce Sm ith sa id A tc h is o n w as arrested in Detroit and the arrest was the culmination of excellent police- work by members of his department and others.
“Our officers responded to the incident at the bank and they obtained photos of the suspect from bank security and also located some physical evidence at the scene,” Smith said. “As soon as we got the photo we fanned it out immediately and we also enlisted Crime Stoppers who offered a $1,000 rew ard. T hat w as on Friday, later in the day,
and we were getting calls over the weekend as to who people might have thought the suspect was.”
Meanwhile, as the tips cam e into the d ep a rtment, evidence collected at the scene was sent to the Michigan State Police Crime Lab, Smith said.
“We asked them to put a priority on it for us,” he said. “They have a lot of cases there, but they put a priority on it for us. They were able to develop some latent fingerprints from the evidence we collected at the scene. We were able to match those up to our suspect for a positive ID.”
Smith said, once the departm ent discovered who the suspect was, the process moved forward.
“When we had a strong feeling of who he was, we notified the state police’s fugitive app rehension team,” Smith said. “They did a work-up on him for us, and then we got the w arran t signed by the judge. Once that hap pened, they were able to have him p icked up within a day.”
A tchison was found hiding in the attic of a northwest Detroit house.
Smith pointed out the im portance of cooperation in the apprehension
of Atchison.“Working together, ask
ing for the public’s help, working with the community and su rro u n d in g communities, that’s what it’s all about,” Smith said. “In this case, we were fortunate the bank had good cameras so we could have a good photo of the guy. Som etim es you ’re not that lucky, but in this case we were. Everyone did a great job and the result was the arrest of this suspect.”
Atchison pleaded not guilty to one count of bank robbery Monday, Feb. 25, at the Grosse Pointe Woods Municipal

T H E G R O S S E POINTES — It’s been 33 years since MTV debuted with “Video Killed the Radio Star” and launched a new wave of multi- media entertainment.
This month, a similar technological evolution comes to a Grosse Pointe municipal court near you.
To paraphrase M ark G oodm an, th e A fro haired original VJ, on the opening telecast, “Behold, a new concept is borne. You’ll never look at defendan ts the sam e way again.”
Two-way cameras and monitor screens are being installed in the courts to allow long-distance video arraignments of suspects held in county jails.
V ideo te c h n o lo g y reduces the likelihood of Pointe public safety officers leaving their beats to shuttle suspects between county jails and municipal hearings.
“Instead of having officers pick up the person,
you can v ideo-arraign people,” said M atthew Rum ora, judge in the Farms and Shores.
“We anticipate saving $700 per trip bringing prisoners to and from us,” said John Schulte, S hores pub lic sa fe ty director.
He could have benefited from the video method last week.
Officers had to convey a w om an from th e Oakland County Jail to Shores court on a charge of felony drunken driving.
“It took alm ost four hours, with the weather, to get her here and back,” Schulte said.
The new system also tightens the noose on suspects arrested on Pointe w arrants in other ju risdictions.
Ideally, under such circu m stan ces , a sp a re Pointe officer retrieves the suspect for prosecution.
“There are times when our manpower is too low to pick up the person,” said Farms Lt. Detective
Richard Rosati. “They are let go to be caugh t another time. That will no longer happen. We’d do a video arraignment.”
“For someone who is violent or has an extensive crim inal history, it will be safer (to arraign them from a county jail),” said Lisa Akers, a court clerk in the City of Grosse Pointe.
About 85 percen t of M ichigan courts are in th e v id eo n e tw o rk , according to Schulte, citing state officials.
There may be an opportunity to set up additional links betw een Pointe courts.
“O ur p riso n e rs are housed in Grosse Pointe P ark ,” said the C ity’s Akers. “We’re going to try to get a video from the Park to the City to arraign from the Park.”
The statewide system is funded by g ran ts the Michigan Supreme Court obtained from the departm ent of c o rrec tio n s , Schulte said.
“The only th ing we have to provide is an

Internet connection and in sta lla tion , w hich is m inor,” Schulte said. “The impetus is to save the Michigan Department of C orrections m oney because th e ir officers tran sp o rt p risoners in other parts of the state.”
Video hearings saved the state an estimated $ 15 million over the last five years, according to John Nevin, communications d irec to r of the s ta te supreme court.
Rumora expects to use it up to 20 times per year in the Farms, including for probable cause hearings.
“W hen you a rra ig n somebody on a felony, a probable cause conference allows the prosecuto r to m eet with the defense attorney and see if they need a preliminary ex am ,” Rum ora said. “They might waive the exam or work out a plea at that point.”

He escaped prison in 1989 and served another sentence until early 2005.

Traditionally, Friday is fish fry day
PHOTOS BY JOHN MCTAGGART
Hundreds of patrons head to The ARK at St. Ambrose Church in Grosse Pointe Park every Friday for a fish dinner.
By Ann L. FoutyCommunity Editor
Attending a Friday fish fry dinner is a Lenten tradition.
Catholic tradition dictates red meat and chicken are not to be eaten on the Fridays leading up to Easter. So fish — baked, grilled, fried and deep fried — is on the menu, as well as m acaroni and cheese. For six Fridays in late winter, professional and volunteer chefs are in the kitchens of Our Lady S tar of the Sea, St. Am brose, A ssum ption C u ltu ra l C en te r and Sweetest Heart of Mary serving fish for the hundreds of guests from all faiths to find good food and a chance for socialization after a long winter.
The p o p u la rity of weekly fish fries bares out when 200 to 300 people are served in The ARK at St. Ambrose in Grosse Pointe Park, said Mary Oberly, The ARK’s events coordinator.
A professional chef and a paid staff cooks up baked and deep fried cod plus an additional entree, changing week to week.
Oberly said she p repares two to three green salads, plus the cole slaw in different varieties.
“I love salad. I like to make them,” she said.
While the professionals are cooking, volunteers are refilling water pitchers, cleaning up and resetting tables.
“I have a great group (of volunteers) that comes in all the time. They are parish members and some high school students come to volunteer,” she said.
Volunteers are the backbone of Our Lady Star of the Sea and Sw eetest Heart of Mary’s dinners.
Debby Veltri of Star of
the Sea said she has more than 50 volunteers who do all the set up, cooking and serving the 250 guests who come for a menu of deep fried cod, french fries or baked potato, mac and cheese, salad bar, roll and dessert.
The desserts are homemade. One week Veltri whips up brownies and the next week Monsignor Gary Smetanka is baking either chocolate or white cake.
“I like to make brown
ies. He is better at cake,” she said.
The monsignor also has supplied the recipe for the baked fish.
“It’s the most popular,” Veltri said of the menu item. “It’s always a sellout.”
Sweetest Heart of Mary in Detroit, under co-chairmen Ed Bourke of Grosse Pointe Woods and Mike F illicc ia of C lin to n Township, sees a climb in attendance each week.
“The first Friday we had
150, by Good Friday it’s 600,” Bourke said.
H undreds of people from the tri-county area drive to visit the historic church and to taste the cod, fried or baked, coated in a secret batter, he said.
“It’s beer batter for the cod, a recipe that is passed down. Mike and I have done it . . . it’s our fifth year,” Bourke said.
In addition to the cod, delivered by the Eastern M arket’s Kay Food, the menu offers shrimp, piero- gis, a weekly fish special, mac and cheese, french
fries, baked potatoes, and cole slaw.
From the kitchen staff to clean up, it’s an all-volunteer staff of both parishioners and nonmembers.
“A lot of people had parents or grandparents who attended (Sweetest Mary). They come back for the Lenten service,” Bourke said.
Stations of the Cross is at 6 p.m. Friday and a Mass begins at 6:30 p.m.
S w ee test H eart of Mary’s fish fries began as a church fundraiser.
“It’s a historic church and needs a lot of up keep,” Bourke said of why people attend the fish fries. ‘Now it’s social time.”
I t ’s th e sam e at A ssum ption C u ltu ra l Center’s fish fries.
“They come. They stay. They have a couple d r in k s ,” sa id K aty Marchiori, vice president of Marchiori Catering.
The staff prepares an all-you-can-eat menu of grilled salmon, fried cala- mari, panko breaded cod, mac and cheese, rice pilaf, homemade spinach pie, peas and carrots, soup and salad bar, bread and butter and beverages.

From 5 to 8 p.m . Assumption parishioners and neighbors come to eat and sometimes linger.
“It’s a regular crowd,” Marchiori said.
She has noticed people come to celebrate birthdays and others come to socialize.
Assumption serves its meals on china plates and covers the tables with linen table clothes. St. Ambrose also uses real china dishes.
More than following a tradition, Smetanka said, “It helps bring the wider community in for fellowship. There is not a huge proceed but it continues our mission, out reach and evangelism.”

Spice up a week night meal with shrimp stuffed peppers.
S tu f f th e m p e p p e r s
W hen Ithink of stuffed peppers beef (or
pork) and rice come to mind. Down South folks prefer to stuff peppers with shrimp and bread. I tried my hand at just such a pepper and was very pleased with both the presentation and the flavor.
Southern Shrimp Stuffed Peppers
(adapted from Louisiana Cookin’)
2 large bell peppers (your choice) halved lengthwise (keep stems intact if possible)2 cups (packed) tom white bread (no crusts)1 cup water 2 tablespoons butter 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 cups diced onion 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons vegetable oil1 lb. raw (thawed) shrimp (31-40 size)1 large egg 1 tablespoon ketchup 1 teaspoonWorcestershire sauce 1/2 (level) teaspoon Cajun seasoning 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (or 2 teaspoons dried)2 to 3 tablespoonspanko
Bring a large pot of w ater to a boil. Carefully halve peppers and remove seeds. Drop peppers into the boiling water and cook for 10 minutes, no longer. Remove from water and allow to drain. Set aside.
Place tom bread in a small bowl and pour water over it. Wait 5 minutes then drain bread and squeeze it as dry as you can. Set aside.
Melt butter and olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add onions and cook for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 5 more minutes, stirring often as to keep mixture from browning. Transfer to a medium bowl and set aside.
To same skillet, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add shrimp and cook just until shrimp are firm and pink, tossing often.
Transfer to a plate and allow to cool for a few minutes. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Meanwhile, in a small dish, beat egg with ketchup, Worcestershire and Cajun seasoning then add to onion mixture, along with soaked bread. Stir well.
Cut shrimp into 1/2 inch pieces and add to onion mixture.
Place peppers cut side up on a greased bake sheet or dish. Divide stuffing evenly among four halves. Scatter pan- ko over tops of stuffing and bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes or so, until bread crumbs begin to brown and stuffing is thoroughly cooked.
You can stuff this yummy shrimp mixture into smaller peppers if you like or even into jumbo mushrooms. Pack some stuffing into single serving bake dishes and you’ve got a fancy “side” at your next dinner party.

Knowing symptoms is life saving

My 48-year-old sister just learned she heart attack and
needs two stents to open blocked arteries in her heart. We were young when our parents died, so we have little family medical history.
At 44,1 never considered I might be at risk for heart disease, especially since I am in relatively good physical shape. Should I make an appointment with my doctor, even though I don’t have any symptoms?
A Meeting with your • physician to discuss your concerns and having a cardiac evaluation is a good idea.
Despite advances in the treatment of heart disease, it remains the leading cause of death among women in the United States.
Since 1984, the annual death rate from heart disease in women has exceeded that of men.
The good news is 80 percent of heart disease in preventable. Women can make lifestyle changes to reduce their risk of getting heart disease and to stop its progression.
It is good to know the warning signs of a heart attack:♦ pain or discomfort in
the jaw, neck or back,♦ feeling weak, light
headed or faint,♦ chest pain or discom
fort,♦ pain or discomfort in
the arms, shoulder or between the shoulder blades or♦ shortness of breath.For women, the symp
toms can also include:♦ indigestion or nau
sea,♦ profound or sudden
weakness and fatigue or♦ constricting sensa
tion in your throat.If you suspect you or
someone you know might be having a heart attack, call 9-1 -1. Driving

City riv a ls G rosse Pointe North and Grosse Pointe South boys’ basketball teams started the season with a Blue Devils victory.
Last weekend, the host N orsem en got a little revenge, beating the Blue Devils 66-61 behind a solid team effort.
“We looked at the game film from the first time we faced South and we are a totally different team ,” North head coach Ron Kochan said. “We’re believing in each other and it w as e v id en t tonight.
“This was a team win as our defense was good and we were able to make enough plays down the stretch to win it.”
“Rebounding was the d if fe re n c e to n ig h t ,” South assis tan t coach P e te r K ingsley sa id . “They got us on the boards and we were a lit
tle lax on defense a few plays, which cost us.”
The Blue Devils shot the ball well in the first quarter and took a 16-11 lead.
T h e N o r s e m e n regrouped to win the second quarter 18-8 to take a five-po in t advan tage , 29-24, at the half and it was a 51-45 game when the th ird -quarte r horn sounded.
The home team upped its lead to 10 points, 57-47, in the first 30 seconds of the fourth quarter, but the Blue Devils ch ipped aw ay to get within four points late in the game.
A slew of missed layups and a couple of missed free throw s helped the Blue Devils get w ithin four points, 63-59, with 17.2 left.
North jun io r Mitchell Zacharias made two free throws to seal the deal and the Norsemen held on for their biggest win of the season.

Last w eek, the Blue Devils w on th ree big gam es, beating U tica E isenhow er 3-1, Port Huron Northern 5-0 and Detroit Country Day 2-0.
“It was a high intensity game against Eisenhower and it didn’t have much of a flow due to all the penalties,” head coach Bobby McKillop said. “It was a nice win for us as we head into the playoffs.
“These are the types of teams we will see in the playoffs and this is the tough hockey we have to play to be successful.”
S o p h o m o re A dam P itters gave the Blue Devils a 1-0 lead, which held until late in the third period w hen the host Eagles tied it.

Children can join huntBy John McTaggartStaffWriter
G R O SSE PO IN T E WOODS — It may beweeks away, but the planning for the city’s annual Easter Egg Hunt at Lake Front Park is already underway.
“It does take som e planning in order for it to go well,” parks and recreation supervisor Nicole Byron said. “There’s a lot of eggs out there and we get a good amount of kids for this event each year, too.”
Last year, in fact, more than 200 children took part in the hunt collecting hundreds of eggs from the grounds.
“We do it a little different than some cities,” Byron said. “We don’t put anything in the eggs. Instead, the kids turn in the eggs for a bag of goodies. This way, everybody ge ts the sam e amount, and it’s all very fair.”
There are a few eggs, however, that stand out in the sea of colored eggs.
“We have 24 golden eggs,” Byron said. “Those eggs are going to be out there and for the kids who find them, we have something special when they come in to redeem them . I t’s a fun little incentive for the kids.”
Tickets for the event are $4 for residents and
$5 if a resident is bringing someone who doesn’t live in the city, Byron said.
“Registration runs until M arch 20,” she said. “That gives us (parks and recreation departm ent) some idea of how many children to expect.”
The event is particula r ly p o p u la r w ith younger children, Byron said.
“It’s very cute to watch the children out there getting those eggs,” she said. “There are always lots of little ones and the look on some of the faces w hen they find those eggs is adorable.”
For more information on the Easter Egg Hunt, call (913) 343-2440.

Preparation makes for a great outdoor adventureWith the proper equip
m ent, p reparation and motivation, any time of year is the perfect time to get outdoors for an adventure.
And you don’t have to look far for a great hike. Across the country, there are 59 national parks and thousands of state parks to choose from, comprising tens of thousands of miles of trails.
Hitting the trails this season? Make sure you’re well-equipped to handle whatever comes your way.
♦ Footwear: Your regular running shoes may serve you well on a gentle slope in the warm er months, but in cool weather at high altitudes, different precipitation and terrain may require something sturdier, more insulated and definitely waterproof. Check the weather report and conditions of the trail before you go and
outfit your feet accordingly-♦ Hydration: Don’t be
fooled into thinking that staying hydrated is not important in cooler weather. As always, carry more water than you think you may need in case of emergency.♦ If you’re hiking in
more extreme weather conditions, you may need an insulated water bottle to handle the temperature. Look for options that are easy to carry and open so you don’t need to remove your gloves to quench your thirst.♦ Fuel: Whether you’re
hitting the trail for a leisurely afternoon jaunt or you’re powering through a challenging climb, hiking bums calories, especially in colder weather, when your body expends energy trying to restore its natural body temperature. Staying fueled is important.♦ Pack snacks that are
high in energy, easy to eat and won’t weigh you down, such as trail mix or granola bars.♦ Useful tools: Whether
you’re an experienced adventurer or a weekend
warrior, the tools you choose should be well-designed to handle your pursuits and enhance your experience.♦ First aid: Even quick
hikes require a basic first
aid kit. Be prepared with bandages, antibiotic ointment, antiseptic, splinter removal tools and basic medication.
T here’s nothing like exploring the beauty of
nature year-round. Just be sure to do so safely and wisely. By getting prepped with innovative tools and basic equipment, you can relax and enjoy the hike.

developm ent? Families can go to camp.
“Skills such as character building are inherent in the camp environment. More importantly, research tells us that this growth
lasts well beyond the camp experience and becomes a lifelong attribute,” said Peg Smith, American Camp A s s o c ia t io n C h ie f Executive Officer.
For more than a century, millions of families have been benefiting from the environment provided by the cam p experience.
Camp develops character when:
♦ children feel safe and nurtured, allowing them to take healthy risks and develop character organically,
♦ supporting mentors model positive character traits and lead by example and♦ camp provides teach
able moments.In a study of youth devel
opm ent outcom es cond u c te d by P h illib e r Research Associates and ACA, campers said the following:♦ Abigail, 9, said, “I
learned how to be honest about stuff.”♦ “I learned a lot about
respect and my real values in life, what they really should be,” said Louise, 14.♦ Sam, 12, said, “At
camp I learned how to be part of a team . . . sometimes you have to rely on someone to do a task or goal. You have to trust each other.”
