On Tuesday, August 5, 2014, South Lake Public Schools voters will head to the polls to decide whether or not to pass a $25 million bond proposal.

Although the election is still more than one month away, the stakes are high, and South Lake administrators and educa-tors want voters to know exactly what the proposal entails.

Nearly every year, the Michigan Department of Community Health re-leases a report outlining which fish are safe for consumption, which fish should be limited in consumption and even some fish species that simply shouldn’t be eaten at all.

The report is a comprehensive look at nearly every body of water in the state, including Lake St. Clair.

The Michigan Department of Community Health released guidelines to the public regarding the safety of eating fish caught in Lake St. Clair and other waters in the state. The fishing pier at Blossom Heath Park is a popular spot for anglers in the city.

Here’s a rundown of the Department of Community Health Department’s guidelines for fish species in Lake St. Clair.

Be aware “limited” means these fish species should not be eaten if you are under 15 years old, have health problems, or are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan on having children in the next several years.

the future.”The majority of species

in the waters of Lake St. Clair do not fall into ei-ther of the aforemen-tioned categories, Bruneau said.

“It’s not something that should scare people,” she said. “In fact, it’s gotten much better over the years. You have to re-member, these chemicals stick around for 60, 70, 80 years or more. Many of these chemicals were put into the water decades ago. But it stays there, in the sediment and in the water, for a long time, which means it also gets into the fish. Honestly, we’re seeing vast im-provements though.”

The relatively long half-life of these toxins prompted the MDCH to be very conservative with

their guidelines.“We are conservative

because we are about protecting public health,” Bruneau said. “We have to be conservative be-cause these chemicals last so long, and we have to account for the most sensitive individuals. “

Bruneau said these guidelines shouldn’t dis-courage people from fish-ing or enjoying those fish as a meal.

“Of course, catch-and-release is always good,” she said. “But it’s fine to eat most of the fish spe-cies caught in Lake St. Clair, just make sure you follow those guidelines, clean and trim the fish properly, the PCBs and dioxins are fat soluble, for instance, and if you trim all the fat away you can see, and cook the fish where the fat can drain off, you’re doing it prop-erly.”

One of the lake’s most abundant fish species, Bluegill, for example, Bruneau said, are like most of the panfish in the lake, and allow for a large amount of fish to be con-sumed per month and still fall within the guide-lines outlined by the de-partment.

“You can eat 16 serv-ings of Bluegill a month,” she explained. “Think of these guide-lines as kind of a nutri-tion label. You look at those and know that there are some things in there that we should avoid eating for a vari-ety of reasons. We can’t put labels on every fish, so that’s why we have these guidelines. There are always great choices in Lake St. Clair and ev-ery body of water in the state. It’s good to know, though, what the guide-lines are.”

outside of the park’s boundaries, making the event a true community one.

“I went to the park the last few years,” he said. “This year, though, I’m going to enjoy the show from here.”

Mallice was among hundreds who attended a “block party,” thrown by Lakeside Community Church on Jefferson, just north of the park.

“Coming here is a dif-ferent feel,” he said. “But it’s a lot of fun. I’m meeting new people and really enjoying the eve-ning.”

Dozens of residents who call the surround-ing streets home hosted

cookouts and get-to-gethers amongst family and friends.

Pockets of neighbor-hoods held their own block parties, which in-cluded food and games.

“I’ve been playing this bean-bag-toss game for two hours,” Lisa Theut said. “We’ve had burg-ers and some beverages. It’s a great time. And it’ll end with the fireworks. That’s not the worst way to spend a Friday night, you know.”

Once the show start-ed, all eyes turned to the skies above Lake St. Clair.

“ I t ’ s amaz ing , ” Christopher Pilp, 11, said, focused on the sky, between rumbles sound and splashes of color. “It’s like nothing I’ve ev-er seen before. I mean that, too.”

frastructure:Upgraded computers

and other technology aimed at preparing stu-dents for college and the work force. Since the bond is going to be distrib-uted over a period of years, it’s easier for the district to get the latest technology, should the proposal be approved.

School facility en-hancement:

A cafeteria remodel, roof repairs, door, carpet-ing and glass replacement are just a few of the en-hancements proposed to schools throughout the district, Balint said.

“Many of these en-hancements will take place at the high school,” she said. “But every school in the district will have some sort of enhancement done to it.”

Site improvement at schools and facilities:

Parking lot upgrades, playground repairs and replacement, and up-grades to the athletic facil-ity, including the running track, football field and fencing are all included.

“With this winter, we’ve patched as much of the parking lots as we can,” she said. “The bathrooms, plumbing and locker rooms all need updating. The track and the athletic field also need upgrades to be a competitive facility.”

Replacing worn out buses:

The proposal accounts for funds to be available for buses to be replaced as they wear out.

The bond proposal pro-cess is an often long and involved one, which con-sists of submitting the pro-posal to the Michigan Department of Treasury where it is reviewed and returned to the district for tweaking if necessary.

South Lake’s proposal has gotten the seal of ap-proval from the state’s treasury department and is ready to go to the voting public.

“I think this is vitally im-portant,” Balint said. “To do what we need to do, and do it out of the general fund, is impossible. We couldn’t do these things, even over a period of years, and still run the dis-trict. This bond is vitally important.”

The Monster Quest X Bass Fishing tournament invaded St. Clair Shores and the waters of Lake St. Clair last Sunday, June 29.

The tournament featured thousands of dollars in prize money to anglers with the most total weight in bass and the largest individual bass.

The event returned to the city after a highly suc-cessful inaugural tournament in 2013 — a tourna-ment that attracted nearly 90 boats from all over the country.

This year’s turnout was slightly less, with just over 70 boats taking part, mainly due to the threat of stormy weather, organizers said.

That said, Monster Quest X still brought nearly one hundred spectators to the 9 Mile Road boat launch shoreline for the weigh in, and competitors traveled from all over the area to fish in the event.

The St. Clair Shores Historical Society plays a vital role in preserving the history of the city.

Everything from the S e l i n s k i G r e e n Farmhouse to the Muskrat Tales newsletter falls un-

der the guidance of the so-ciety.

For any of this to happen funds are needed.

One of the group’s pri-mary fundraising efforts is its quilt raffle.

This year’s quilt, accord-ing to historical society member Ann Powell, is

nothing short of beautiful.“It is really a very beauti-

ful piece of artwork, real-ly,” Powell said. “It’s all handmade appliqué and it’s likely from the 1950s, based on the colors. It’s very pretty.”

The quilt was donated to the society for the auction, Powell said, and the histo-ry of the quilt includes a first-place award from the Jackson County Fair years ago.

“We feel very fortunate to have it available for our raffle this year,” she said. “Anyone who wants to go and see it can find it at the library on display.”

Along with the full-size quilt, a smaller lap quilt and a picture of the Edmund Fitzgerald are al-

so up for grabs in the raf-fle, Powell added.

“Tickets are on sale right now,” Powell said. “You can purchase them for $1 at the library. The drawing will be during the Lac Set Claire Fine Art

Fair, which is held at Veterans Memorial Park on September 13 and 14.

Money raised through the raffle goes directly to the historical society for a variety of projects, Powell said, including the possi-

ble addition of a small barn to the Selinsky Green Farmhouse Museum.

“So many people love quilts,” Powell said. “And let me tell you, this one is really one you’ll fall in love with. It’s just beautiful.”

Tommi Girl had quite a sad beginning, but is hoping for a great ending in a loving forever home. She was rescued off the streets of Detroit by Mutts of Motown and in pretty bad shape. She was starving and severely underweight, but since her rescue she’s added many of those much-needed pounds and now needs a place to call home. Tommi Girl is about 3 years old and a mixed breed girl who is a little shy, but making great progress coming out of her shell. For more information about Tommi Girl call (586)690-2808.

Truth be told, there are very few events, festivals or happenings in

town that I miss.It’s my job.My camera and I have

spent many hours at tree lightings, concerts, pa-rades, cruises, festivals, ga-las and banquets.

I find many things about each of these events that appeal to me, whether it be the people, the cause, the spirit. Either way, I truly enjoy every one and am proud to be there to docu-ment it for the Connection.

That said, this year’s St. Clair Shores Venetian Festival on the Nautical Mile, which gets underway Friday, July 18, and contin-ues through Sunday, July 20, has me particularly in-trigued and admittedly ex-

cited. It seems that nearly ev-

ery day I get an e-mail, or a message, or a phone call, with another feature being added to the festival.

Recently, I got word that the Ultimate Air Dogs, a Crawl the Mile, Simple Adventures Paddlesports, and a Man vs. Food contest at Pat O’Brien’s, have all been added to the roster of activities.

These new features join a 4 Paws 1 Heart fun run, a pet adoption, a decorated bike parade, a family fish-ing derby, tons of stuff to do at the Jefferson Yacht Club, a dinghy poker run and a classic boat show, just to name a few features off the top of my head that were already slated to be part of the three-day festi-val.

The most exciting part

for me, however, is the prospect of a festival wor-thy of the Nautical Mile.

The city and organiza-tions such as the Nautical Mi le Merchants Association do the best they can to promote that stretch of Jefferson, but truthfully, it’s probably un-derutilized and certainly under-appreciated.

The St. Clair Shores Venetian Festival on the Nautical Mile can be a ma-jor step forward in chang-ing this reality and creat-ing a new perception of the “Mile.”

I would love nothing more than to spend these three days in July talking to people not only from the city, but from beyond the borders of St. Clair Shores.

Attracting people from outside the city to this sto-ried stretch of roadway is

vital to the city’s future. The Nautical Mile is

something uniquely St. Clair Shores, and frankly, not too many cities have anything that even closely resembles it.

Sure, a hotel somewhere along the stretch would be nice, as would more spots for public access to the lake, but getting people to want to go there for more than just their boat is the first and perhaps most cru-cial step.

This festival can be an introduction to the Nautical Mile for folks who might otherwise nev-er have come.

So every attraction that’s added, every idea

that gets hammered out and comes to fruition, ev-ery reason to come to the Venetian Festival is a posi-tive step toward attracting someone new to the com-munity.

St. Clair Shores’ charm is also its curse.

There are no places to build new subdivisions and few places for new de-velopment.

However, there are very walkable neighborhoods, houses with decades of history and character, tra-ditions that most cities lack, festivals and events aimed at bringing the community together and a certain small-town charm to the people who

reside here.But the reality is, the city

needs to find ways to bring people into the city, into the community. They need to come here for the shops and the restaurants. They need to look at houses and settle down, send their children to South Lake, Lakeview or Lake Shore.

But first of all, they need to visit.

This festival, along this stretch of roadway, can bring people here.

And, as the list of attrac-tions grows, I believe it will bring people to St. Clair Shores.

Once they’re here for a while, I believe they’ll want to come back.

Venetian festival is important

SECTION B ◆ ST. CLAIR SHORES CONNECTION ◆ THURSDAY, JULY 3, 2014

e’re not sure what the think-ing was when

General Motors decided to put a small diesel engine in Chevrolet’s Cruze sedan but, we are very impressed with the 2014 Cruze and its 2.0-liter en-gine.

One might suggest the en-gine rattles like a diesel. We prefer to think of it as purring.

A few other pluses: the Cruze Diesel enjoys leather-appoint-ed seats and a nicely tailored interior with discrete padding on two-color panels. The driv-er’s seat can be raised. Front seats have standard heating.

On the flip side, we found the rear seat short of leg room. And while it offers important pro-tection for passengers, the B-pillar is wide and blocks over-the-shoulder visibility.

While there is already buzz on Chevy’s website about the 2015 Cruze Diesel, we’ll focus on the 2014 model currently available at dealers: the 2.0-li-ter turbo-diesel Cruze with standard six-speed automatic, ultra low-rolling resistance all-season tires and highway fuel

economy of 46 miles per gal-lon. Chevrolet translates that into a possible 717 miles on a single tank, full to fumes, or about 10 hours of highway driving.

A Cruze Diesel may save money at the pump, but the car has a higher pricetag than its gas-powered Cruze siblings. Check around and you’ll find diesel models tend to be more expensive to purchase. With a starting price of $25,695, includ-ing its destination charge, the Cruze Diesel competes with the likes of the Volkswagen Jetta turbo-diesel. Audi offers several diesels at near-luxury prices, Mazda is promising a diesel-powered Mazda6, Chrysler has a diesel Jeep, BMW is talking diesel for the U.S. market and Mercedes has been in and out of the diesel sales here for de-cades.

Chevy argues that the Cruze, with a MyLink infotainment system, 17-inch alloy wheels, leather-appointed seating and a five-year/100,000-mile pow-ertrain limited warranty, is a better value than a similarly equipped VW Jetta. The Cruze comes with a two-year mainte-nance plan that includes oil changes, tire rotation and diesel exhaust fluid top-offs.

Standard equipment includes

a stability control system with traction control, anti-lock brakes and six months of OnStar “directions and connec-tions” with crash response and navigation features. Driver and front passenger heated seats are standard; Cruze is prepped for satellite radio; steering wheel controls are standard, and an acoustic insulation pack-age keeps diesel engine noise at bay. The MyLink offers hands-free smartphone integration

and voice-activated technology.An aero performance pack-

age helps with fuel economy.The test car included some

$2,400 in options: a power sun-roof, an upgraded audio system, a driver convenience package, special black granite metallic paint and premium all-weather mats.

Market analysts contend die-sel passenger vehicles are a hard sell in the United States for a variety of reasons. But diesels

have their advocates and, for new-car buyers, are certainly worth researching. We give the Cruze Diesel two thumbs up — as long as we don’t have to ride for long in the back seat.

Final assembly for the Cruze Diesel takes place in GM’s Lordstown, Ohio plant. Diesel engines come from Germany; transmissions from Japan.

Chevrolet said the 2014 Cruze Diesel can squeeze more than 700 miles of highway driving on one tank of fuel. Everything the driver needs — and more — are available on the Cruze instrument area. Its soft-ened, two-tone interior belies its modest com-pact size and price.
