Rat issue
gnawing at
council,
residents
By Debra Pascoe
Editor

Apparently
cooler
weather is bringing more
rats out into the open.
Several city councilmembers mentioned at
the Oct. 21 council meeting resident complaints
about rat sightings have
increased over the past
few months while one
councilman said he’s partially winning the battle
against the varmints on
his home turf.
“Nothing irritates me
more than when I turn on
the news and they’re talking about rats in St. Clair
Shores,” Couincilman
Pete Rubino said, referring to a recent television
news report during which
two residents expressed
their dissatisfaction with
the city’s response to
their rat problem.
Rubino turned to City
Manager Phil Ludos for
an explanation.
Ludos said according to

inspection logs and city
records, the city worked
diligently to eradicate the
issue. But in the end it
was the homeowner’s decision to have rat bait
boxes removed from their
property that tied the
city’s hands.
“The assertion was this
council and my staff
failed to respond to their
needs,” Ludos said. “I
think the staff extended
itself well over and above
in an effort to take care of
the issue.”
Ludos said the city is
still reviewing a citywide
abatement plan and recently identified another
piece of property that
needs attention.
Councilman
Tony
Tiseo, who divulged this
summer he, too, was having rat issues, reported
work to correct his
house’s foundation and
driveway has cleared up
most of the problem. Bait

Golf course
capital fund
paying off
By Debra Pascoe
Editor

A $1 per round assessment
instituted
in
January 2012 to golfers
using the city’s course is
starting to pay off.
Golf
Course
Superintendent
Tim
Dorner asked permission
to begin the second in a
several phase upgrade
program developed by
the
Golf
Course
Committee to improve
the course.
Dorner told council
bridges installed in about
1992 are worse for wear
and two are in desperate
need of repair and should
be addressed “sooner
than later.”
One bridge, he said, is
submerged during heavy
rains and high waters in
the stream running below.
He explained the committee is reviewing different repair options for two
bridges constructed of cement with steel abutments. The wood is
what’s in poor shape,
Dorner said.
One option is pouring a
four-inch concrete slab
on top and elevating the
other that becomes submerged.

The plan is to spread
construction over 12 to 14
months as the money becomes available in the
capital improvement
fund, Dorner said, adding
some bridges need minor
repairs, but are still safe.
Plans include having
the golf course staff demo
the bridges in need of replacement to save an estimated $2,000 per bridge.
A bigger challenge is
getting the financing to
repair the cart paths
which Dorner said are too
narrow and not installed
with an adequate base.
Replacing the entire path
system is estimated to
cost about $350,000 with
a proposal to complete
the project over a fiveyear period.
The bridge repairs are
the second project financed by the capital
fund, the first being updating the golf cart fleet
by replacing batteries to
extend their usefulness
for four to five years.
Councilwoman
Candice Rusie reiterated
golfers using the course
are paying for the improvements that benefit
them. The bridges, she
said, have been an issue
“for quite some time.”

achievement on the ACT test.

SLHS honors ACT achievement
By John McTaggart
Staff Writer

South Lake High
School honored 74 current seniors with a special
event in the school auditorium Tuesday, Oct 22,
for their individual
achievements on the ACT
and Michigan Merit
Exam test the previous
year as juniors.
The event included certificates of recognition,
wristbands that allow students special privileges at
the school, as well as gift
cards, games and raffle
prizes purchased with do-

nations made by high
school staffers.
“We have pep rallies for
athletics,” said South
Lake
High
School
Principal
Carmen
Kennedy. “We must have
pep rallies for learning
and achievement, too. I
am all about athletics,
but if we celebrate athletics, we have to celebrate
academics, too. There is
an expectation here at
South Lake that if you
come here, you will perform well on this test. ”

ble 35 on the exam,
shared his experience
with his classmates.
The school staff donated in excess of $1,200
which turned into 33 prizes raffled off to 73 students who scored an 18 or
higher on their ACT
when they took the test in
March of 2012.
“Last year, 147 students
completed a series of
tests in March of 2013, as
juniors,” she told the student body and parents at
the assembly. “Today, we
want to give special applause to the Class of

2014. Thank you for your
contributions to our
school.”
The initiative is part of
a bigger plan which has
seen South Lake’s test
scores rise from the bottom five percent to the
18th percentile in 2013.
“I believe that it takes a
village to raise a child,
and it takes a community
to raise a school,”
Kennedy said. “All of us
have a stake in this, in this
school, in these students.

COPS CLIPS
He won’t be late

A white male described
as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds
wearing jeans and a
hoodie walked out of the
Kmart on Nine Mile with

seven sports and designer watches Tuesday, Oct.
22, at 2:53 p.m.
The store’s loss prevention officer told police the
man took the watches out
of their packaging, con-

cealed them on his person and exited the store
without paying for them.
He ran out of the store
toward the apartment
complex to the south of
the store. Police called to
the scene and those patrolling the area were unable to locate him.
A video is on file.

boxes at the rear of his
property, however, are
still showing activity.
The work he did passed
inspection, but his house
remains on the follow-up
list.
His concern, however,
is when his property is inspected, not all the bait
boxes are being checked.
Reviewing the inspection logs, Tiseo said he
has identified the rats are
coming from the rear of
his property.
“We keep baiting and
sure, we’re still killing

rats,” he said, adding reports indicate rat bait
boxes near his house are
showing no activity while
those placed in the rear
yard are “being hit.”
In addition, he reported
residents have complained to him their bait
boxes haven’t been
checked “in more than a
month.”
Ludos said he’s look into those addresses.
Councilman
Chris
Vitale called a bank –
owned vacant house on
the city’s north end to
Ludos’ attention where
he said garbage, high
weeds, brush covering rat

burrows and other
known harborages exist.
He sent pictures to Ludos
for review.
C o m m u n i t y
Development
and
Inspection Director Chris
Rayes said he’s been in
contact with the bank and
nothing has been done as
of yet.
Vitale asked City
Attorney Robert Ihrie if
the city could clear the
property and bill the bank
for the expenses.
Ihrie said different
properties have different
rules and he’d look into
how the city can take care
of the problem.

and up. Let me make this
clear though, we are
more than our test scores,
but we are judged on
these two days of testing

On Thursday, Oct. 31,

Freshman at South Lake

while sophomores and juniors take a practice ACT.
“I am, we are, so proud
of these students,”
Kennedy said. “These

they also help us move up

achievement as determined by the state of

city events.
St. Clair Shores has
unique assets that make
us a destination including
the waterfront and all its’
trappings, the Nautical
Mile, an array of restaurants and small businesses, as well as strong and
safe neighborhoods. We
must continue to trumpet
our strengths and showcase the things that make
us special.
How would you like to
improve the city and its
offerings?
As in business, the city
must identify its present
and future customers.
Keeping our neighborhoods strong and safe
will continue to attract
young families. At the
same time, we know the
population as a whole is
getting older and senior
citizens deserve an expanded Senior Activities
Center.

What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax
Increment
Finance
Authority?
The TIFA is an important economic development tool. Though city officials used TIFA dollars
to promote downtown
events for the first time
this year, I prefer this
money go toward more
permanent enhancements like capital improvements, repairs, and
maintenance.
Which city departments do you feel need
additional oversight and
why?
We need a strong ethics
ordinance to provide
oversight and direction to
all our city departments
and employees. At minimum, the ordinance
should reveal conflicts of
interest, ban gifts to decision-makers, and crack
down on cronyism and
nepotism in hiring and
contracting.
What
are
your
thoughts about the city’s
involvement with tax
foreclosure properties?
The city has sold some
tax foreclosed properties
and turned a profit. I
would ensure these sales
require competitive bidding to ensure the best
price for taxpayers and
prevent insider dealing.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
Atop the list of essential
projects for the city is an
expansion of the Senior
Activities Center to include an up-to-date fitness center for our growing senior population.
This is a project I will
push for first.

we do have an outstanding

Excellent police, fire,

works, solid schools and

facilities.
Convenient and dedicated health care professionals, all within this community. An outstanding

dedicated individuals.
What other community
has all that. That’s a lot of
good stuff with a lot of
hard working people
making it so.

What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax
Increment
Finance
Authority?
TIFA is an essential
component in bringing a
high quality hotel to this
community. We have an
economical/geographic
environment for a hotel.
It provides significant tax
base and draws people
and businesses into our
community.
Which city departments do you feel need
additional oversight and
why?
The city manager provides supervision of all
staffing, He provides direction and makes requests for additional
needs. Council provides
policy and communicates
with the city manager.
What
are
your
thoughts about the city’s
involvement with tax
foreclosure properties?
The acquisition of foreclosed properties is essential to the health and
value of our neighborhood real estate. It directly contributes to making
our community safe,
peaceful, neat and clean.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
Expenditures must be
considered using costbenefit analysis. Don’t be
irresponsible in spending, but don’t be irresponsible by refusing to spend
when circumstances require. How to pay for
things is always an issue.
The establishment of a
high quality hotel pro-

have made changes that
improved oversight and
transparency to the rehabilitation process. This
program gives the city the
opportunity to improve
neighborhoods by getting
rid of the worst blight
homes and bringing in
new families.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
With our expanding senior population, we need
to expand our senior center in order to provide
needed senior services. Seniors are an important vital part of our community. We need to have
the facilities to help them
continue active lifestyles.
How should the city
better market itself and
increase participation at
city events.
The new city website,
which I had an integral
role in its development
and content, and social
media are the best and
most cost effective avenues to communicate
with our residents in a
growing digital world.
How would you like to
improve the city and its
offerings?
To continue improving
the city, we have to remain fiscally stable. That
will always be my first
priority so we can afford
to fund the priorities of
our residents.

What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax
Increment
Finance
Authority?
The TIFA board should
focus on smaller scale improvements along the
Nautical Mile. The funding for large projects is
just not there. They
would make a major difference by improving
Blossom Heath Park. I
would oppose any sale of
park land for private development.
Which city departments do you feel need
additional oversight and
why?
In the past 2 years, city
council has increased
oversight over several departments through the
budget process. In the future, more changes will
be required to code enforcement for both businesses and residences. While it is the responsibility of city council to
ensure ordinances are
fair and necessary, we
need a code enforcement
process that applies those
rules equitably.

State University and a jurist doctorate from
Michigan
State
University.
What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax
Increment
Finance
Authority?
A benefit of a TIFA district is that it allows us to
retain funds for reinvestment within the city that
would otherwise be collected by other taxing entities. This funding is
used not only for improvement of the TIFA
district but also for maintenance of the TIFA district, taking the burden
off of the city’s general
and other funds.
I’ve heard suggestions
of abolishing our current
TIFA district and establishing a TIFA district in
another area of the city to
encourage growth and
development there. Given
how TIFAs are structured
and financed by capturing tax increment after a
baseline is established, it
likely would be a long

time before any tax increment would be created to
collect and finance improvements in a new district. With our current
TIFA district, we already
have created increment
which is collected annually. We also have infrastructure in the current
district maintained by
TIFA dollars.
Council is still awaiting
the TIFA members to deliver a new proposal for
the current TIFA district. I
hope this proposal will be
developed taking into account feedback from all
stakeholders – the TIFA,
taxpayers, including residents and the area business community, city
council, the parks and
recreation department
and its commission.
It should be something
all of our residents can
enjoy. It needs to be within TIFA’s means to fund
and achieve so that TIFA
can make any and all
bond payments without
needing a subsidy from
our general fund.
Which city departments do you feel need
additional oversight and
why?
Oversight of city departments falls squarely
within the jurisdiction
and authority of city administration, not city
council. Per the city charter, the city manager is in
charge of the day-to-day
operations of the city.
In his short time here so
far, I have seen the new
city manager working to
emphasize increased responsiveness, follow-up,
and follow-through from
all departments — not only to requests from councilmembers, but also residents. I support him in his
efforts to increase communication and accountability across the board. I
also would encourage
him to pay particular attention to any departments whose actions carry legal implications and
consequences upon our
residents to ensure fairness in process and procedure.
What
are
your
thoughts about the city’s
involvement with tax
foreclosure properties?
Each year, the county
offers us a batch of tax
foreclosed properties to
purchase for the amount
of back taxes. We are allowed no interior inspections and we have to purchase all of the properties
offered or none. If we
choose none, the county
auctions the properties
and we are responsible
for any amounts of back
taxes the proceeds of the
auction sale do not satisfy. If we choose to purchase them, we can resell
them on the market and
keep any profits for city
use. The city has chosen
to purchase these properties.
There is no question
these properties should
be made safe and habitable before the city sells
them to a private owner.
But some of the improvements the city pays for
(interior as well as exterior) are unnecessary and
are based mainly on the
personal aesthetics of administration or the “tax

foreclosure subcommittee” members and I’d like
to see these reigned in. As
this is a mayor-created
subcommittee, I’d like the
mayor to better define the
subcommittee’s scope of
responsibilities. Also, I’d
like administration to
track how much time is
spent on each property.
For some properties, administration
spends
much time debating with
the subcommittee about
things like paint colors or
shrubbery and this is time
that could be spent on
tasks for the residents. I’d
like to see this factored
into the “expenditure” accounting we use to determine how much, if any,
profit was made after the
sale of each property.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
We have an aging population in the city. The
Senior Center offers our
seniors vital support in a
number of ways — nutritionally and emotionally,
socially and physically
and help with chores and
transportation, just to
name a few. During my
time on council, the council already has supported
improvements to our senior center as it currently
exists — including bocce
ball canopies, new computers and renovated restrooms with new showers. As the council liaison
to the Older Persons’
Advisory Commission, I
have been involved in many discussions with members of the center regarding what other developments they’d like to see.
These include an expanded exercise room that
would help us attract an
increased membership,
especially among younger seniors. We also need
to improve the administrative office space to
make it more accessible.
We are in the stages of developing drawings of a
proposed expansion to
use to attract donors or
corporate sponsors for
the project. Once we have
the drawings we also can
explore potential grant
availability.
Regarding the construction of a new general
community center building, I’ve only heard very
preliminary discussion at
this point. I believe more
examination and dialogue is needed to determine its location, its size
and what features would
be most realistic, most desired, and most used by
our residents. We need to
understand costs associated not just with construction but also with
maintenance and operations annually, and so a
feasibility study would also be in order.
How should the city
better market itself and
increase participation at
city events.
We need to continue to
offer amenities that

neighboring communities do not. We have our
own fire department and
ambulance service. We
have a strong parks and
recreation department
and a vibrant senior center. We have a dog park, a
municipal swimming
pool and lakefront parks.
We have a library with a
wide variety of resources
and programming. We
have restaurants and
shopping unique to us.
Some of the best marketing is done by “word
of mouth.” Unfortunately,
too often I’ve heard frustrations from local business owners regarding
some of our more restrictive ordinances and practices that hurt their ability
to do business and succeed. These frustrations
spread to the broader
business communities
and give the city a negative impression in the
minds of people who may
otherwise invest in the

city.
In response, we’ve already revised a number
of such ordinances and
months ago I proposed
we form a committee to
analyze business ordinances to ensure the city
is an attractive, competitive place for business.
I’ve noticed increased
participation at events
since we launched the
city’s Facebook page in
February 2010. I’m proud
that it now reaches more
than 10,000 Facebook users.
Earlier this year, we also launched our new city
website that helps us
spread the word. Also,
with the city’s and residents’ support, the volunteers on our committees
have been working hard
to offer new events and to
work on changing and
improving their traditional events to attract more
participants, spectators,
visitors and guests.
How would you like to
improve the city and its
offerings?
First and foremost, we

THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013

need to continue fiscal responsibility and conscientious stewardship of
our resources. In my almost four years on council we’ve tackled structural budget issues and reduced non-essential general fund spending by
millions while protecting
the “rainy day fund” even
in very tough economic
times.
But we haven’t stopped
investing and improving
our city and its infrastructure. In this time we’ve also replaced roads and water mains, planted new
trees, made improvements to city buildings
and parks, bought new
vehicles, kept the streetlights on and converted
most to LED and developed a new website.
We’re building a new
courthouse using money
not from property taxes
but rather from a dedicated “piggy bank” fund and
a dedicated revenue
stream (a fee on tickets).
To continue improving
the city, we need to continue smart saving, smart
spending, and smart investment.
We also need to continue resident- and business-friendly services,
initiatives and communication. Our administration needs to increase accountability, fairness and

What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax

Finance
Authority?
The projects have long
since been completed.
The TIFA chairman says,
“The board only exists at
the pleasure of council.”
Therefore, I say close it
and make sure to allocate
all dollars to existing infrastructure maintenance, NOT new projects.
Which city departments do you feel need
additional oversight and
why?
Instead of council

members being on
boards like beautification, dog park, etc., they
should rotate every 6
months and be council liaisons to major city hall
offices and projects.
Examples: treasurer,
community development
and inspection and construction projects. (Note:
the city charter restricts
council’s actions.)
What
are
your
thoughts about the city’s
involvement with tax
foreclosure properties?
Foreclosure renovations distract us from other important issues. Let
entrepreneurs rebuild
these homes to city code
and market place needs/
wants without costing the
taxpayers a dime.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
We have a horrible
track record of holding
people accountable to
charter law and/or cost
containment. We should
stop spending until we
weed out the root cause.
Plus, has the Mayor forgotten his previous costoverrun objections to a
Community Center quoted by former St. Clair
Shores Connection reporter Ann Fouty?
I’ve presented a nontaxpayer funded community project idea for
Blossom Health. It would
transform the park into a
fun, educational, natural
Yo u n g
People’s
Waterpark.
How should the city
better market itself and
increase participation at
city events.
I believe a well-planned
out campaign, with the
Employee Ethical Code of
Conduct at the core, will
help the city attract people based on service and
trust versus repel people

due to favors, entitlement, arrogance, unfair
ticketing and mistrust.
How would you like to
improve the city and its

I believe little will improve UNTIL the citizen’s
demand the highest level
of quality, honesty, integrity and transparency for
all people on the city payroll, including retirees
and contractors.

What are your feelings
about the city’s Tax
Increment
Finance
Authority?
I feel TIFA needs to find
a project that will benefit
the entire city as a whole.
I feel that Blossom Heath
Park is a great place to
start. This park is probably the most under utilized park in the city. Any
improvements would be a
benefit to all of the city. If
a viable project does not
come about, we may need

must remember that you
can no longer create a
TIFA district like we have
now. The one thing I really like about TIFA is it allows us to keep 100 percent of the tax dollars collected in our city.

When choosing a healthcare center for yourself or a
loved one, there is no greater comfort than knowing
that people are there for you who truly care,
and who are committed to your health,
comfort, well-being and peace of mind.

“customer service” at city
hall – and we all need to
recognize that residents
are our bosses, not our
customers.
Although it’s not
unique to this city, we
need to work on tackling
the rodent issue. Among
other things, I’ve suggested we investigate forming
a “consortium” with our
neighboring communities as was done in
Oakland County to create
“economies of scale” to
reduce costs, to get us all
on the “same page” and
create the possibility of
obtaining state grant
money to help us with
this cause.

Students come together to fight hunger
Staff Writer

Students from Lake Shore,
South Lake and Lakeview high
schools gathered at St.
Margaret of Scotland last
Thursday afternoon with one
purpose in mind — pack thousands of meals for Kids Against
Hunger.
“It’s fabulous to see this kind
of response from these students,” said Macomb County
Health Department Director
William Ridella.
“It’s such a great opportunity
for these students to get involved and I think it helps them
realize that there is such a
great need for this right here in
our own community.
“We do have hunger in this
community, not just in other areas. It’s an opportunity to really
focus on these initiatives and

really drive home the point
about the importance of food
systems and food security.”
The event, which was part of
several National Food Day efforts put on by the county, included
the
Shorewood
Kiwanis.
“They reached out to us,”
said Shorewood Kiwanis member Kimberly Browning. “For
the past 13 years we’ve developed a good relationship with
the health department. They
were wondering if we would be
interested in sponsoring the
event. We said that would be
great.”
Browning, who is also a Key
Club advisor, said she wanted
to make sure she got students
involved and recruited them to
help.
“I really wanted to get the
kids in high school involved,”

she said. “I just thought it
would be great for them to get
involved with it.
“We want to be able to build
and develop new leaders in the
community. We reached out to
the three different principals,
key clubs and the Youth
Council and they came out.”
Dozens of students found
their way to the 13 Mile church
gymnasium, donned hair nets
and gloves and began packaging thousands of meals.
These meals, according to
Ridella, not only help hungry
people in faraway lands, but
those in town.
“One-third actually stays
right here at St. Margaret in
their food pantry,” he said. “It’s
needed right here. Another
third is kept for emergencies

why?
This is the job of the
city manager. The reason
I nominated Mr. Ludos is I
felt he could handle these
issues. He has already implemented a system
where his department
heads will go through a
series of reviews. This is
something no previous
manager has done recently.
Since Mr. Ludos runs
the day to day operations
he is the absolute best to
determine if a department needs additional
oversight. I know that
there have been issues
with certain departments
and our manager is addressing them.
Our city government is
designed to have a strong
city manager. If council
has issues with a department, they need to hold
the city manager accountable. The manager then
needs to address any issues.

ST. CLAIR SHORES

thoughts about the city’s
involvement with tax
foreclosure properties?
When you look at the
program as a whole, it
has been a great success! It has added an influx of cash to the general
fund and helped build
stronger neighborhoods,
which has helped (our
property) values rise. Just
ask the neighbors of
these homes. They have
expressed great pleasure
in the program.
The mayor has discussed several projects,
such as expanding the
senior center and building a community center.
Do you favor these or do
you have other ideas?
Please offer suggestions
how these plans could be
financed and implemented.
If money were not an
object, they would be
great things to enhance
our city. Unfortunately
money is a big issue. The
problem is, I have seen no
plans or funding ideas for
these types of projects.
Therefore I feel it would
be very irresponsible to

speculate.
How should the city
better market itself and
increase participation at
city events.
Our city is truly on an
upswing. We were just
listed as the best city to
live in in Macomb County.
But there are things we
can do to improve our image.
One thing is to stay out
of the news for things like
our rodent issue! I understand people’s frustrations. I have been pushing for a plan for a while
now. If elected, that will
be one of my top priorities. As far as events, we
have some great events.
We also have some that
are not so well received. I
like the idea of bringing
some of these smaller
events together. This
would create fewer, but
larger events. Bringing
people to the city is important and this may
help.
How would you like to
improve the city and its
offerings?
Before adding offerings
I believe we need to ensure we do the absolute
best to provide top notch
core services. We are on
our way, but there is still
room to improve. This in
itself will bring in new
families and homeowners
to our city. I believe this
model already has helped
us grow.
While other cities are
cutting police, fire and
recreation, we have been
able to maintain or improve these types of services. That is why I believe our real estate is rising quicker than some of
neighbors and we were
rated highly in the current study. We need to
work hard to continue
this pace.

Stealing from mom?
A 44-year-old Roseville

New Pathfinder lighter, better mileage

A

couple of
years ago
Nissan
sought to
make it
clear its Pathfinder was no
wimp. It’s not a crossover,
the company said; it’s a
real SUV built in a ladderstyle truck frame, with
considerable towing capability and a couple of
hefty engines.
For 2013, however,
Nissan quietly changed
gears, introducing its
fourth generation redesigned Pathfinder: a lighter vehicle with up-to-date
safety technology and
more attention to fuel
economy.
And the 2013 Pathfinder,
built in Smyrna, Tenn., has
joined the ranks of the
popular crossovers.
According to Phil
Lienert, Nissan spokesman, the latest Pathfinder
is a mid-sized SUV built on

a unibody as opposed to a
body-on-frame — truck —
platform.
“For registration purposes, it would still be a
truck, though, due to its
size, off-road ability and
towing capability,” said
Lienert.
The automaker claims
many best-in-category
features with this latest
Pathfinder. One of the
most important, we think,
is its exclusive use of a
continuously variable
transmission — its nextgeneration Xtronic CVT.
This transmission, Nissan
said, is able to increase
combined city/highway fuel economy by 30 percent
compared with the earlier,
thirsty V-6-equipped
Pathfinder with five-speed
traditional automatic
transmission.
Fuel economy for the
2013 Pathfinder with
3.5-liter V-6 is rated at 26
highway, 20 city and 22

miles per gallon combined
for the two-wheel-drive
model. Subtract one mile
per gallon in each category for a V-6 Pathfinder
with all-wheel drive.
The new, smaller V-6 engine with 260 horsepower
and CVT maintains nearly
the same horsepower as
the previous generation’s
larger displacement 4.0-liter, 266 horsepower V-6,
Nissan said. The CVT is
designed to hold the engine at the ideal rpms for
the conditions at hand,
providing power for passing, merging or towing
and efficient running at
cruising speeds or around
town.
With its available “intuitive” four-wheel drive,
Pathfinder claims to be the
only vehicle in its mid-size
class with selectable 2WD,
Auto or 4WD Lock modes
in its ALL-MODE 4X4-i
system. The system lets
the driver choose full-time

The redesigned Pathfinder features a continuously variable transmission that
improves fuel economy.
2WD for maximum fuel
economy, Auto mode to
automatically monitor
conditions and adjust the
balance of power between
front and rear wheels for
best traction, or 4WD Lock
mode when desired. In addition, standard hill start
assist helps add control
when starting and driving
away on a steep incline —
both four and two-wheeldrive models.
Nissan said the standard
5,000-pound towing capacity of the Pathfinder
makes it tops in its market
class. The more muscular
third-generation
Pathfinders boasted 6,000
and 7,000-pound towing
capacities.

exit to the last row.
The 60/40-split middle
row features Latch and
Glide technology that allows forward movement
and access to the third row
with a child safety seat remaining securely in place
on the passenger curb
side.
Pathfinder’s unibody
platform equals a flat floor
for improved interior flexibility and more space.
Overall interior roominess
has been increased by 8.4
cubic feet versus the 2012
Pathfinder design.
The third row seat, a
50/50 split-folding design,
reclines — a feature not offered with other utility vehicles in its class, according to Nissan.

third row seats fold flat for

The test Pathfinder was

price of $36,070.
This included heated

Single options included

illuminated kick plates,
$275; and a trailer tow
package, $400.
Pathfinder is available in
four models: S, SV SL and
,
Platinum. Prices start at
around $28,000.
A hybrid Pathfinder is
available for the 2014
model year.

  • 1. VOL. 2 NO. 47, 12 PAGES ST. CLAIR SHORES, MICHIGAN THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 Rat issue gnawing at council, residents By Debra Pascoe Editor Apparently cooler weather is bringing more rats out into the open. Several city councilmembers mentioned at the Oct. 21 council meeting resident complaints about rat sightings have increased over the past few months while one councilman said he’s partially winning the battle against the varmints on his home turf. “Nothing irritates me more than when I turn on the news and they’re talking about rats in St. Clair Shores,” Couincilman Pete Rubino said, referring to a recent television news report during which two residents expressed their dissatisfaction with the city’s response to their rat problem. Rubino turned to City Manager Phil Ludos for an explanation. Ludos said according to inspection logs and city records, the city worked diligently to eradicate the issue. But in the end it was the homeowner’s decision to have rat bait boxes removed from their property that tied the city’s hands. “The assertion was this council and my staff failed to respond to their needs,” Ludos said. “I think the staff extended itself well over and above in an effort to take care of the issue.” Ludos said the city is still reviewing a citywide abatement plan and recently identified another piece of property that needs attention. Councilman Tony Tiseo, who divulged this summer he, too, was having rat issues, reported work to correct his house’s foundation and driveway has cleared up most of the problem.

At right, after an afternoon of intense trick-or-treating at the Halloween Fun Fest, Joshua Lollar had to catch a nap on one of the swings at Blossom Heath Park. For more Halloween photos, see page 1B. PHOTOS BY JOHN MCTAGGART Golf course capital fund paying off By Debra Pascoe Editor A $1 per round assessment instituted in January 2012 to golfers using the city’s course is starting to pay off. Golf Course Superintendent Tim Dorner asked permission to begin the second in a several phase upgrade program developed by the Golf Course Committee to improve the course. Dorner told council bridges installed in about 1992 are worse for wear and two are in desperate need of repair and should be addressed “sooner than later.” One bridge, he said, is submerged during heavy rains and high waters in the stream running below. He explained the committee is reviewing different repair options for two bridges constructed of cement with steel abutments. The wood is what’s in poor shape, Dorner said. One option is pouring a four-inch concrete slab on top and elevating the other that becomes submerged. The plan is to spread construction over 12 to 14 months as the money becomes available in the capital improvement fund, Dorner said, adding some bridges need minor repairs, but are still safe. Plans include having the golf course staff demo the bridges in need of replacement to save an estimated $2,000 per bridge. A bigger challenge is getting the financing to repair the cart paths which Dorner said are too narrow and not installed with an adequate base. Replacing the entire path system is estimated to cost about $350,000 with a proposal to complete the project over a fiveyear period. The bridge repairs are the second project financed by the capital fund, the first being updating the golf cart fleet by replacing batteries to extend their usefulness for four to five years. Councilwoman Candice Rusie reiterated golfers using the course are paying for the improvements that benefit them. The bridges, she said, have been an issue “for quite some time.” Creating Natural Beauty ichigan’s Premier Landscape Company 877-774-0090 • www.backerlandscaping.com PHOTO BY JOHN MCTAGGART South Lake High School senior Theo Branch looks at the certificate he and others were awarded for their achievement on the ACT test. SLHS honors ACT achievement By John McTaggart Staff Writer South Lake High School honored 74 current seniors with a special event in the school auditorium Tuesday, Oct 22, for their individual achievements on the ACT and Michigan Merit Exam test the previous year as juniors. The event included certificates of recognition, wristbands that allow students special privileges at the school, as well as gift cards, games and raffle prizes purchased with do- nations made by high school staffers. “We have pep rallies for athletics,” said South Lake High School Principal Carmen Kennedy. “We must have pep rallies for learning and achievement, too. I am all about athletics, but if we celebrate athletics, we have to celebrate academics, too. There is an expectation here at South Lake that if you come here, you will perform well on this test. ” Senior Nick Neito, who scored a 34 out of a possi- Everything You Need For A 23400 23400 Greater M Mack Party! at Nine Mile 10% Off with Ad 586-776-9750 Open 7 Days ble 35 on the exam, shared his experience with his classmates. The school staff donated in excess of $1,200 which turned into 33 prizes raffled off to 73 students who scored an 18 or higher on their ACT when they took the test in March of 2012. “Last year, 147 students completed a series of tests in March of 2013, as juniors,” she told the student body and parents at the assembly. “Today, we want to give special applause to the Class of 2014. Thank you for your contributions to our school.” The initiative is part of a bigger plan which has seen South Lake’s test scores rise from the bottom five percent to the 18th percentile in 2013. “I believe that it takes a village to raise a child, and it takes a community to raise a school,” Kennedy said. “All of us have a stake in this, in this school, in these students.

CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 COPS CLIPS He won’t be late A white male described as 6 feet tall, 180 pounds wearing jeans and a hoodie walked out of the Kmart on Nine Mile with seven sports and designer watches Tuesday, Oct. 22, at 2:53 p.m. The store’s loss prevention officer told police the man took the watches out of their packaging, con- cealed them on his person and exited the store without paying for them. He ran out of the store toward the apartment complex to the south of the store. Police called to the scene and those patrolling the area were unable to locate him. A video is on file. See CLIPS, page 7A RAT Continued from page 1A boxes at the rear of his property, however, are still showing activity. The work he did passed inspection, but his house remains on the follow-up list. His concern, however, is when his property is inspected, not all the bait boxes are being checked. Reviewing the inspection logs, Tiseo said he has identified the rats are coming from the rear of his property. “We keep baiting and sure, we’re still killing rats,” he said, adding reports indicate rat bait boxes near his house are showing no activity while those placed in the rear yard are “being hit.” In addition, he reported residents have complained to him their bait boxes haven’t been checked “in more than a month.” Ludos said he’s look into those addresses. Councilman Chris Vitale called a bank – owned vacant house on the city’s north end to Ludos’ attention where he said garbage, high weeds, brush covering rat burrows and other known harborages exist. He sent pictures to Ludos for review. C o m m u n i t y Development and Inspection Director Chris Rayes said he’s been in contact with the bank and nothing has been done as of yet. Vitale asked City Attorney Robert Ihrie if the city could clear the property and bill the bank for the expenses. Ihrie said different properties have different rules and he’d look into how the city can take care of the problem.

Freshman at South Lake take a practice PLAN test, a preliminary ACT test, while sophomores and juniors take a practice ACT. “I am, we are, so proud of these students,” Kennedy said. “These tests not only count toward their future, but they also help us move up the ladder of student achievement as determined by the state of Michigan.” THIS WINTER 022410 090513 Witness the magic of Montessori Montessori Night - Wednesday, Nov. 20, 7 p.m. The Grosse Pointe Academy to challenge to inspire 171 Lake Shore Road ◆ Grosse Pointe Farms, MI 48236 ◆ 313.886.1221 gpacademy.org 101013 to nurture
  • 3. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION 3A Six vie for three in council race The Connection Newspaper invited the six candidates vying for three seats on the St. Clair Shores City Council to respond to a questionnaire. Candidates were given 250 words to address each question. The following are their responses, in no particular order. The questions are in bold, as is the candidate’s name which is followed by a brief personal profile. Peter Accica city events. St. Clair Shores has unique assets that make us a destination including the waterfront and all its’ trappings, the Nautical Mile, an array of restaurants and small businesses, as well as strong and safe neighborhoods. We must continue to trumpet our strengths and showcase the things that make us special. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? As in business, the city must identify its present and future customers. Keeping our neighborhoods strong and safe will continue to attract young families. At the same time, we know the population as a whole is getting older and senior citizens deserve an expanded Senior Activities Center. Peter Accica Accica, 54, is a lifelong resident and an organizer field representative for the Bricklayers and Allied Craftworkers Local 1.He graduated high school and is a certified instructor for apprentice classes in his field. What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? The TIFA is an important economic development tool. Though city officials used TIFA dollars to promote downtown events for the first time this year, I prefer this money go toward more permanent enhancements like capital improvements, repairs, and maintenance. Which city departments do you feel need additional oversight and why? We need a strong ethics ordinance to provide oversight and direction to all our city departments and employees. At minimum, the ordinance should reveal conflicts of interest, ban gifts to decision-makers, and crack down on cronyism and nepotism in hiring and contracting. What are your thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? The city has sold some tax foreclosed properties and turned a profit. I would ensure these sales require competitive bidding to ensure the best price for taxpayers and prevent insider dealing. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. Atop the list of essential projects for the city is an expansion of the Senior Activities Center to include an up-to-date fitness center for our growing senior population. This is a project I will push for first. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at John D. Burtch vides tax base that can be utilized as we consider building projects of any nature in the community. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at city events. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? (Editors note: Burtch answered the last two questions with one response.) Remind people what we do have an outstanding Memorial Day Parade, July 4 Fireworks and Harper cruise. A topnotch ice arena with active and involved parents and coaches. A golf course. A senior center, lakefront parks, baseballsoftball-soccer fields and a marina. Excellent police, fire, department of public works, solid schools and attendant facilities. Convenient and dedicated health care professionals, all within this community. An outstanding and diverse mix of small businesses operated by dedicated individuals. What other community has all that. That’s a lot of good stuff with a lot of hard working people making it so. John D. Burtch Burtch, 63, has lived in the city for 30 years and is an attorney. What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? TIFA is an essential component in bringing a high quality hotel to this community. We have an economical/geographic environment for a hotel. It provides significant tax base and draws people and businesses into our community. Which city departments do you feel need additional oversight and why? The city manager provides supervision of all staffing, He provides direction and makes requests for additional needs. Council provides policy and communicates with the city manager. What are your thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? The acquisition of foreclosed properties is essential to the health and value of our neighborhood real estate. It directly contributes to making our community safe, peaceful, neat and clean. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. Expenditures must be considered using costbenefit analysis. Don’t be irresponsible in spending, but don’t be irresponsible by refusing to spend when circumstances require. How to pay for things is always an issue. The establishment of a high quality hotel pro- have made changes that improved oversight and transparency to the rehabilitation process. This program gives the city the opportunity to improve neighborhoods by getting rid of the worst blight homes and bringing in new families. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. With our expanding senior population, we need to expand our senior center in order to provide needed senior services. Seniors are an important vital part of our community. We need to have the facilities to help them continue active lifestyles. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at city events. The new city website, which I had an integral role in its development and content, and social media are the best and most cost effective avenues to communicate with our residents in a growing digital world. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? To continue improving the city, we have to remain fiscally stable. That will always be my first priority so we can afford to fund the priorities of our residents. John Caron John Caron Caron, 42, appointed to the post, is a lifelong resident and an engineer at General Motors. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Michigan Technological University and a Master of Science degree from Purdue University. What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? The TIFA board should focus on smaller scale improvements along the Nautical Mile. The funding for large projects is just not there. They would make a major difference by improving Blossom Heath Park. I would oppose any sale of park land for private development. Which city departments do you feel need additional oversight and why? In the past 2 years, city council has increased oversight over several departments through the budget process. In the future, more changes will be required to code enforcement for both businesses and residences. While it is the responsibility of city council to ensure ordinances are fair and necessary, we need a code enforcement process that applies those rules equitably. What are your thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? In the past 2 years, we Candice Rusie Candice Rusie The incumbent, 31, is an attorney and a 22-year resident. She holds a bachelor of arts in psychology from Wayne State University and a jurist doctorate from Michigan State University. What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? A benefit of a TIFA district is that it allows us to retain funds for reinvestment within the city that would otherwise be collected by other taxing entities. This funding is used not only for improvement of the TIFA district but also for maintenance of the TIFA district, taking the burden off of the city’s general and other funds. I’ve heard suggestions of abolishing our current TIFA district and establishing a TIFA district in another area of the city to encourage growth and development there. Given how TIFAs are structured and financed by capturing tax increment after a baseline is established, it likely would be a long time before any tax increment would be created to collect and finance improvements in a new district. With our current TIFA district, we already have created increment which is collected annually. We also have infrastructure in the current district maintained by TIFA dollars. Council is still awaiting the TIFA members to deliver a new proposal for the current TIFA district. I hope this proposal will be developed taking into account feedback from all stakeholders – the TIFA, taxpayers, including residents and the area business community, city council, the parks and recreation department and its commission. It should be something all of our residents can enjoy. It needs to be within TIFA’s means to fund and achieve so that TIFA can make any and all bond payments without needing a subsidy from our general fund. Which city departments do you feel need additional oversight and why? Oversight of city departments falls squarely within the jurisdiction and authority of city administration, not city council. Per the city charter, the city manager is in charge of the day-to-day operations of the city. In his short time here so far, I have seen the new city manager working to emphasize increased responsiveness, follow-up, and follow-through from all departments — not only to requests from councilmembers, but also residents. I support him in his efforts to increase communication and accountability across the board. I also would encourage him to pay particular attention to any departments whose actions carry legal implications and consequences upon our residents to ensure fairness in process and procedure. What are your thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? Each year, the county offers us a batch of tax foreclosed properties to purchase for the amount of back taxes. We are allowed no interior inspections and we have to purchase all of the properties offered or none. If we choose none, the county auctions the properties and we are responsible for any amounts of back taxes the proceeds of the auction sale do not satisfy. If we choose to purchase them, we can resell them on the market and keep any profits for city use. The city has chosen to purchase these properties. There is no question these properties should be made safe and habitable before the city sells them to a private owner. But some of the improvements the city pays for (interior as well as exterior) are unnecessary and are based mainly on the personal aesthetics of administration or the “tax foreclosure subcommittee” members and I’d like to see these reigned in. As this is a mayor-created subcommittee, I’d like the mayor to better define the subcommittee’s scope of responsibilities. Also, I’d like administration to track how much time is spent on each property. For some properties, administration spends much time debating with the subcommittee about things like paint colors or shrubbery and this is time that could be spent on tasks for the residents. I’d like to see this factored into the “expenditure” accounting we use to determine how much, if any, profit was made after the sale of each property. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. We have an aging population in the city. The Senior Center offers our seniors vital support in a number of ways — nutritionally and emotionally, socially and physically and help with chores and transportation, just to name a few. During my time on council, the council already has supported improvements to our senior center as it currently exists — including bocce ball canopies, new computers and renovated restrooms with new showers. As the council liaison to the Older Persons’ Advisory Commission, I have been involved in many discussions with members of the center regarding what other developments they’d like to see. These include an expanded exercise room that would help us attract an increased membership, especially among younger seniors. We also need to improve the administrative office space to make it more accessible. We are in the stages of developing drawings of a proposed expansion to use to attract donors or corporate sponsors for the project. Once we have the drawings we also can explore potential grant availability. Regarding the construction of a new general community center building, I’ve only heard very preliminary discussion at this point. I believe more examination and dialogue is needed to determine its location, its size and what features would be most realistic, most desired, and most used by our residents. We need to understand costs associated not just with construction but also with maintenance and operations annually, and so a feasibility study would also be in order. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at city events. We need to continue to offer amenities that See COUNCIL, page 4A -or k Tric reat!

  • 4. 4A ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION COUNCIL Continued from page 3A neighboring communities do not. We have our own fire department and ambulance service. We have a strong parks and recreation department and a vibrant senior center. We have a dog park, a municipal swimming pool and lakefront parks. We have a library with a wide variety of resources and programming. We have restaurants and shopping unique to us. Some of the best marketing is done by “word of mouth.” Unfortunately, too often I’ve heard frustrations from local business owners regarding some of our more restrictive ordinances and practices that hurt their ability to do business and succeed. These frustrations spread to the broader business communities and give the city a negative impression in the minds of people who may otherwise invest in the city. In response, we’ve already revised a number of such ordinances and months ago I proposed we form a committee to analyze business ordinances to ensure the city is an attractive, competitive place for business. I’ve noticed increased participation at events since we launched the city’s Facebook page in February 2010. I’m proud that it now reaches more than 10,000 Facebook users. Earlier this year, we also launched our new city website that helps us spread the word. Also, with the city’s and residents’ support, the volunteers on our committees have been working hard to offer new events and to work on changing and improving their traditional events to attract more participants, spectators, visitors and guests. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? First and foremost, we THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 need to continue fiscal responsibility and conscientious stewardship of our resources. In my almost four years on council we’ve tackled structural budget issues and reduced non-essential general fund spending by millions while protecting the “rainy day fund” even in very tough economic times. But we haven’t stopped investing and improving our city and its infrastructure. In this time we’ve also replaced roads and water mains, planted new trees, made improvements to city buildings and parks, bought new vehicles, kept the streetlights on and converted most to LED and developed a new website. We’re building a new courthouse using money not from property taxes but rather from a dedicated “piggy bank” fund and a dedicated revenue stream (a fee on tickets). To continue improving the city, we need to continue smart saving, smart spending, and smart investment. We also need to continue resident- and business-friendly services, initiatives and communication. Our administration needs to increase accountability, fairness and YOUR HEALTHCARE CHOICE Estate Sales J o b s Cars Tutors Contractors 22601 E.

What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? The projects have long since been completed. The TIFA chairman says, “The board only exists at the pleasure of council.” Therefore, I say close it and make sure to allocate all dollars to existing infrastructure maintenance, NOT new projects. Which city departments do you feel need additional oversight and why? Instead of council members being on boards like beautification, dog park, etc., they should rotate every 6 months and be council liaisons to major city hall offices and projects. Examples: treasurer, community development and inspection and construction projects. (Note: the city charter restricts council’s actions.) What are your thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? Foreclosure renovations distract us from other important issues. Let entrepreneurs rebuild these homes to city code and market place needs/ wants without costing the taxpayers a dime. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. We have a horrible track record of holding people accountable to charter law and/or cost containment. We should stop spending until we weed out the root cause. Plus, has the Mayor forgotten his previous costoverrun objections to a Community Center quoted by former St. Clair Shores Connection reporter Ann Fouty? I’ve presented a nontaxpayer funded community project idea for Blossom Health. It would transform the park into a fun, educational, natural Yo u n g People’s Waterpark. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at city events. I believe a well-planned out campaign, with the Employee Ethical Code of Conduct at the core, will help the city attract people based on service and trust versus repel people due to favors, entitlement, arrogance, unfair ticketing and mistrust. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? I believe little will improve UNTIL the citizen’s demand the highest level of quality, honesty, integrity and transparency for all people on the city payroll, including retirees and contractors.

His education beyond high school includes classes taken at Macomb Community College. What are your feelings about the city’s Tax Increment Finance Authority? I feel TIFA needs to find a project that will benefit the entire city as a whole. I feel that Blossom Heath Park is a great place to start. This park is probably the most under utilized park in the city. Any improvements would be a benefit to all of the city. If a viable project does not come about, we may need to dissolve TIFA. We also must remember that you can no longer create a TIFA district like we have now. The one thing I really like about TIFA is it allows us to keep 100 percent of the tax dollars collected in our city.

CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 Students come together to fight hunger Staff Writer Students from Lake Shore, South Lake and Lakeview high schools gathered at St. Margaret of Scotland last Thursday afternoon with one purpose in mind — pack thousands of meals for Kids Against Hunger. “It’s fabulous to see this kind of response from these students,” said Macomb County Health Department Director William Ridella. “It’s such a great opportunity for these students to get involved and I think it helps them realize that there is such a great need for this right here in our own community. “We do have hunger in this community, not just in other areas. It’s an opportunity to really focus on these initiatives and really drive home the point about the importance of food systems and food security.” The event, which was part of several National Food Day efforts put on by the county, included the Shorewood Kiwanis. “They reached out to us,” said Shorewood Kiwanis member Kimberly Browning. “For the past 13 years we’ve developed a good relationship with the health department. They were wondering if we would be interested in sponsoring the event. We said that would be great.” Browning, who is also a Key Club advisor, said she wanted to make sure she got students involved and recruited them to help. “I really wanted to get the kids in high school involved,” she said. “I just thought it would be great for them to get involved with it. “We want to be able to build and develop new leaders in the community. We reached out to the three different principals, key clubs and the Youth Council and they came out.” Dozens of students found their way to the 13 Mile church gymnasium, donned hair nets and gloves and began packaging thousands of meals. These meals, according to Ridella, not only help hungry people in faraway lands, but those in town. “One-third actually stays right here at St. Margaret in their food pantry,” he said. “It’s needed right here. Another third is kept for emergencies PHOTO BY JOHN MCTAGGART and another third goes to na- South Lake High School student Lizzy Michaelson measures out tional and international needs.” portions of food at the Kids Against Hunger event.

This is the job of the city manager. The reason I nominated Mr. Ludos is I felt he could handle these issues. He has already implemented a system where his department heads will go through a series of reviews. This is something no previous manager has done recently. Since Mr. Ludos runs the day to day operations he is the absolute best to determine if a department needs additional oversight. I know that there have been issues with certain departments and our manager is addressing them. Our city government is designed to have a strong city manager. If council has issues with a department, they need to hold the city manager accountable. The manager then needs to address any issues.

CLAIR SHORES thoughts about the city’s involvement with tax foreclosure properties? When you look at the program as a whole, it has been a great success! It has added an influx of cash to the general fund and helped build stronger neighborhoods, which has helped (our property) values rise. Just ask the neighbors of these homes. They have expressed great pleasure in the program. The mayor has discussed several projects, such as expanding the senior center and building a community center. Do you favor these or do you have other ideas? Please offer suggestions how these plans could be financed and implemented. If money were not an object, they would be great things to enhance our city. Unfortunately money is a big issue. The problem is, I have seen no plans or funding ideas for these types of projects. Therefore I feel it would be very irresponsible to speculate. How should the city better market itself and increase participation at city events. Our city is truly on an upswing. We were just listed as the best city to live in in Macomb County. But there are things we can do to improve our image. One thing is to stay out of the news for things like our rodent issue! I understand people’s frustrations. I have been pushing for a plan for a while now. If elected, that will be one of my top priorities. As far as events, we have some great events. We also have some that are not so well received. I like the idea of bringing some of these smaller events together. This would create fewer, but larger events. Bringing people to the city is important and this may help. How would you like to improve the city and its offerings? Before adding offerings I believe we need to ensure we do the absolute best to provide top notch core services. We are on our way, but there is still room to improve. This in itself will bring in new families and homeowners to our city. I believe this model already has helped us grow. While other cities are cutting police, fire and recreation, we have been able to maintain or improve these types of services. That is why I believe our real estate is rising quicker than some of neighbors and we were rated highly in the current study. We need to work hard to continue this pace.

  • 10. 2B ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 2013 AUTOS BY JENNY KING New Pathfinder lighter, better mileage A couple of years ago Nissan sought to make it clear its Pathfinder was no wimp. It’s not a crossover, the company said; it’s a real SUV built in a ladderstyle truck frame, with considerable towing capability and a couple of hefty engines. For 2013, however, Nissan quietly changed gears, introducing its fourth generation redesigned Pathfinder: a lighter vehicle with up-to-date safety technology and more attention to fuel economy. And the 2013 Pathfinder, built in Smyrna, Tenn., has joined the ranks of the popular crossovers. According to Phil Lienert, Nissan spokesman, the latest Pathfinder is a mid-sized SUV built on a unibody as opposed to a body-on-frame — truck — platform. “For registration purposes, it would still be a truck, though, due to its size, off-road ability and towing capability,” said Lienert. The automaker claims many best-in-category features with this latest Pathfinder. One of the most important, we think, is its exclusive use of a continuously variable transmission — its nextgeneration Xtronic CVT. This transmission, Nissan said, is able to increase combined city/highway fuel economy by 30 percent compared with the earlier, thirsty V-6-equipped Pathfinder with five-speed traditional automatic transmission. Fuel economy for the 2013 Pathfinder with 3.5-liter V-6 is rated at 26 highway, 20 city and 22 miles per gallon combined for the two-wheel-drive model. Subtract one mile per gallon in each category for a V-6 Pathfinder with all-wheel drive. The new, smaller V-6 engine with 260 horsepower and CVT maintains nearly the same horsepower as the previous generation’s larger displacement 4.0-liter, 266 horsepower V-6, Nissan said. The CVT is designed to hold the engine at the ideal rpms for the conditions at hand, providing power for passing, merging or towing and efficient running at cruising speeds or around town. With its available “intuitive” four-wheel drive, Pathfinder claims to be the only vehicle in its mid-size class with selectable 2WD, Auto or 4WD Lock modes in its ALL-MODE 4X4-i system. The system lets the driver choose full-time Now Publishing Obituaries Form available at scsconnection.com Information due by 3 p.m. Monday for Thursday’s publication Call Karen Fontanive for information (313) 343-5591 or E-mail karen@grossepointenews.com PHOTOS BY JENNY KING The redesigned Pathfinder features a continuously variable transmission that improves fuel economy. 2WD for maximum fuel economy, Auto mode to automatically monitor conditions and adjust the balance of power between front and rear wheels for best traction, or 4WD Lock mode when desired. In addition, standard hill start assist helps add control when starting and driving away on a steep incline — both four and two-wheeldrive models. Nissan said the standard 5,000-pound towing capacity of the Pathfinder makes it tops in its market class. The more muscular third-generation Pathfinders boasted 6,000 and 7,000-pound towing capacities. exit to the last row. The 60/40-split middle row features Latch and Glide technology that allows forward movement and access to the third row with a child safety seat remaining securely in place on the passenger curb side. Pathfinder’s unibody platform equals a flat floor for improved interior flexibility and more space. Overall interior roominess has been increased by 8.4 cubic feet versus the 2012 Pathfinder design. The third row seat, a 50/50 split-folding design, reclines — a feature not offered with other utility vehicles in its class, according to Nissan.
