The new 40th District Court building is near-ing completion, accord-ing to court administra-tor Carolyn Povich.

The exterior walls are in place and all that re-mains is the interior.

Theyre doing the drywall part now inside the building, she said. Its about doing that finishing work right now.

Povich said no date has been given when the facility will be complete and ready for employees to move back in.

I would say that at a minimum, it would be 30-45 days, and thats a minimum. The finish work is so meticulous and that can take time, she said.

Realistically, the move-in date, Povich said, figures to be some-time in March.

If everything goes re-ally smooth, she said. And there arent any is-sues or anything like that, were perhaps talk-ing the end of February.

While no date has yet been sent, Mayor Kip Walby is formulating ideas and talking points for his 2014 State of the City address he plans to deliver within the next two months.

Last year, Walbys PowerPoint presenta-

tion-laden address was attended by about 150 residents, city employees and Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel at the Senior Center for Active Adults, which sponsored the February event.

I plan to talk about 2013, the state of the city and accomplishments and improvements and changes weve made and where we are going in 2014, the mayor said last week.

He also plans to share data compiled from city documents to punctuate his address, as he did last year.

While he wasnt willing to share details of his goals for the upcoming year, a review of his 2013 goals give him at least an 80 percent accomplish-ment rate.

While he did not com-plete his plan to create a city committee to explore upgrades to Blossom Heath Park as the citys Tax Increment Finance Authority has yet to un-

veil its plan to council, he acted quickly on forming what is now known as the Aqua Freeze Festival Committee which is planning its first winter festival Feb. 21-23 at

Mayor Kip Walby

Clearing up lose ends is the goal of another city council study ses-sion planned for Monday, Jan. 13. The ex-act time has yet to be set.

Mayor Kip Walby said last week only two items are on the agenda at this time, but we may see others at the last min-ute.

First up is a discussion about expanding the se-nior center a goal out-

lined by Walby during his 2013 State of the City Address.

Walby said the discus-sion will center on what the expansion plans may look like, what the se-niors want to see added to the facility and how the city can pay for it, in-cluding fundraising.

Members of the Senior Center Of The Shores board have been dis-cussing expansion plans for more than a year and are in the process of

compiling and sharing their ideas with council.

Next up is a discussion on a policy for personal e-mails sent to and by city employees.

At the advice of the city attorney (Robert Ihrie) more than a year ago, we are working on a policy, Walby said, add-ing the policy is more about how long such e-mails are to be kept and not prompted by any le-gal issues or influenced by access to such e-

mails by the press which has caused major issues for area municipalities.

Almost a year ago to the day of this study ses-sion, council discussed the following issues:

Review of the over-night parking and snow event ordinances, com-mercial parking and sig-nage concerns, blight enforcement proce-dures, park grants, the police and fire millage and the search for a new city manager.

Justice for LexieNearly two dozen Justice for Lexie supporters gathered at city hall Monday evening to show their support and listen to the update presented to the council by St. Clair Shores Police Chief Mike Walleman. The de-partment spent 85 hours and consulted with the Macomb County Sheriffs Department, recan-vassed the area for wit-ness accounts, and sought the expertise of renowned forensic pa-thologist Dr. Werner Spitz. The ongoing in-vestigation into the inci-dent is about 90 percent complete.

But Im not getting my heart set on that. Id say March is more realistic.

Originally, the facility was slated to be com-plete before the holi-days, but several unfore-seen issues cropped up during the construction that pushed the opening into 2014.

That was the initial schedule when it was first approved and it went out for bids, she said. But there have been some issues that have pushed us back. The issue with the

ground and the second foundation, for exam-ple, are part of those un-foreseen things.

The age of the existing courthouse structure was a factor in some of these setbacks, Povich said.

The asbestos inside the walls was one of the setbacks, too, she said. We knew there was some asbestos in there, but not to the extent that there was. That all took extra time to take care of, too.

The new facility prom-ises to give residents a new look that is de-signed to make the ex-perience more pleasant

for all.This new building is

really going to benefit the public, Povich said. In the old building, there was only standing room. There was no place for the clients to meet with attorneys, no way for victims to be separated from defen-dants and security was a huge issue.

In the old building they would actually have to walk the defen-dants like a chain gang through the halls. Thats not going to happen in the new building. There is actually a cell block area in the new build-ing.

A jury assembly room and other amenities are also part of the new fa-cility, Povich said.

This is going to be

wonderful, she said. The security is going to be great. The public will

have privacy if they want it. Its going to be a very modern, proficient

and state-of-the-art building. We cant wait to get in.

A number of families and area agencies bene-fited from a surprise Christmas gift present-ed to the Shorewood Kiwanis.

Tr e a s u r e r B i l l Hitchcock, at a meeting last month, told the board of directors he had a special announce-ment. He presented an envelope with a St. Clair Shores return address, no name, and post-marked from Las Vegas, Nevada.

Hitchcock first pre-

sented a certified mon-ey order for $1,000, then another for $1,000 and emptied the envel-op by showing off a third money order for $500.

The note inside sim-ply asked the money be used by the Kiwanis to continue its efforts in making a difference

during this holiday sea-son.

Did someone from St. Clair Shores hit it big in Vegas? Well never know, member Karen Biafora asked, followed by heart-felt gratitude.

Thank you anony-mous donor and happy h o l i d a y s f r o m Shorewood Kiwanis, Biafora said.

With this unexpected windfall, Biafora said the group doubled its donations to the Macomb County Health Department in the form of childrens coats and supplies for the young mothers closet and Diaper Depot.

Some of the money is also targeted to help cover expenses for up-coming community ser-vice events, such as the S p e c i a l N e e d s Childrens Day at the Ice Show in March.

While it will take a lot more than is currently in the coffers, Tax Increment Finance Authority member Joe Claycomb wants to see the board consider restor-ing Blossom Heath Inn.

Dont go upstairs or in the basement, Claycomb warned.

Those areas, he said, are in major disarray. The upstairs, he said is not used for anything since the citys parks and recre-ation department moved operations to Civic Arena.

There are windows up there you can blow through. Theyre losing a lot of heat and the roof needs to be redone, he said.

W i t h O a k Managements lease set to expire at the end of this year, Claycomb said hed like to see the city in conjunction with its his-torical commission take action on ways to renovate the 1911 struc-ture added onto in the 20s.

The tough part, he said, is to bring the facility up to Americans with Disabilities Act codes, an elevator would have to be installed. Because the inn sits on city-owned park property and with the parks in the city being residents only, its ex-empt from state and fed-eral funding.

I dont even know which part of the building you would put it, Claycomb said of an ele-vator.

Several years ago, TIFA invested in repairs to the Blossom Heath Inn park-ing lot.

When posed with the

idea of using the upper floor as a bed and break-fast, thus partially meet-ing TIFA and the citys goal to bring a hotel to the community, Claycomb said without the refur-bishing and, of course, the elevator, that remains a big unknown.

That would be a major undertaking, he said, adding the question of maintaining the park resi-dents only which he favors adds to the com-plexity of such a plan.

If everything were in perfect shape, it would be a different story, Claycomb said, adding theres a lot more work that needs to be done to the adjacent park.

Claycomb raised the re-hab idea during a TIFA meeting where chairman Richard Widgren asked members to share their ideas for park upgrades. Widgren said hes review estimates.

(The park) desperately needs more work to make

it presentable and invit-ing to come visit and have picnics and parties there, Claycomb said.

Personally, he has an eye toward addressing the fishing pier he said needs extensive renova-tions and the park rest-rooms. A new driveway leading to the pier is also in his sights.

Thats not going to be cheap either, he said of the pier project. That would take all our funds.

According to a recent accounting, Widgren said the TIFA has about $600,000 in its coffers and collects about $100,000 annually from the addi-tional taxes gained (or captured) by the in-creased tax value of prop-erties in the project area roughly bound by 9 and 10 mile roads along Jefferson.

The TIFA board also has the authority to bor-row against anticipated captured taxes for larger projects.

Claycomb is calling on Mayor Kip Walby to fol-low through on his plan to form a committee of residents and TIFA board members to brainstorm a

plan for the park.The mayor made that a

goal during his state of the city address delivered last year.

Contacted last week,

Walby said, its some-thing I may do in 2014.

We still need to look at Blossom Heath and try to enhance the park and make it better, he said.

Blossom Heath

According to the Macomb County Historical Commission and Images of America St. Clair Shores Village on the Lake, penned by the St. Clair Shores Historical Commission, Blossom Heath Inn was built in 1911 by Matthew Kramer, a hotelier and yachtsman. He called his roadhouse the Kramerhof.

In 1920, the building was sold to Canadian William McIntosh, who renamed it Blossom Heath Inn and added two large wings, which included an ornate ballroom called the Pavillion Royale. Blossom Heath was one of the most luxu-rious roadhouses in Michigan.

Nationally known big bands, such as Ben Pollacks, drew people from Detroit and Canada to the inn.

Blossom Heath became notorious for illegal drinking and gambling during Prohibition and the Depression. Liquor was boated into St. Clair Shores from Canada.

After McIntoshs death in 1930, the roadhouse was run by his heirs. By the late 1930s, the heyday of roadhouses was over and in 1943, Blossom Heath was sold to Harold Walden. The building fell into disuse, but in February, 1946, the village of St. Clair Shores purchased it.

According to the book, more than 150 gallons of paint were used to renovate the building.

On May 19, 1946, it reopened as a civic center with village offices in the north wing. It became the St. Clair Shores Recreation Center in 1957 when construc-tion of the current city hall was completed.

The building is now leased by Oak Management and run as a banquet facility.

A brief history of the Inn

William Lawsons message to the city was simple: Stop giving me a hard time.

Lawson was before city council at its Dec. 16 meeting to express his objection to being pestered by the city for having a commercial vehicle at his duplex and to support the in-stallation of concrete walls behind businesses bordering residential properties.

Lawson quoted a Michigan state statute on commercial motor vehicles stating it does not include vehicles used to transport per-sonal possessions.

He said his vehicle is equipped with a snow plow used only for his personal use not for business.

I should be able to plow my own driveway with my personal plow. I should be able to plow m y g r a n d m o t h -ers driveway, he said, adding he is a business owner, but his business is located in Florida.

Lawson said he also owns a log splitter he uses to help himself, family and friends.

Its absolutely crazy that someone is saying that its commercial property or commercial equipment, he said of his duplex.

I dont see it, the state of Michigan doesnt see and it wont hold up in court. I would like to stop being given a hard time for making my life easier, he said.

Of the wall issue thor-oughly discussed at councils Dec. 12 study session, Lawson sup-ported the need for the masonry walls, as they keep rats out of his yard.

Rats make nests in that fence, he said of the metal fence border-ing his rear yard. (Those) fences are a absolute horrible idea. That fence needs to come down and the wall needs to go up.

I dont care if they're block, I can paint the wall and make it look good.


Resident voices objections tocity ordinances

Last year it was the snow emergency, this year its controversy over a pit bull mix being shot by police.

Another year, another calamity in St. Clair Shores.

A review of the city council agendas for the first meeting in the New Year shows theres not much, well, new.

In 2013, Mayor Kip Walbys failure to call a snow emergency and his admission of the mistake set the tone for the January meeting.

Walby kept his apology and introduction of a re-view of the snow ordi-nance short as possible, yet filled with regret.

Interestingly, as council prepared for the first meeting of January, 2014,

a snow emergency was in place the second of the winter season.

While all eyes were on the ice in the canal adja-cent to Brownies on the Lake in 2013, little con-cern is being given this year, as the Aqua Freeze Festival is taking the place of a pond hockey tourna-ment twice-cancelled due to unseasonably warm weather.

Had the tourney been scheduled this year on the same dates as last Jan 25-27 the results may be the same.

According to the Old Farmers Almanac 2014, weather predictions for Jan 21-24: call for rain and mild temperatures fol-lowed by snowy periods and cold temps Jan 25-31.

For those wondering, temperatures for the Aqua Freeze Festival are

predicted to be snowy, then sunny and season-able.

Last year, council was to review bids for a house on Chalon purchased through the Macomb County Tax Reversion process. The item was postponed because a meeting between Community Development and Inspection Director Chris Rayes and the citys Tax Foreclosure subcom-mittee did not happen.

As a result, Walby gave the subcommittee more power.

With that house sold, the rehab of another house and the sale of three vacant properties and a condominium were on the January, 2014 agenda.

Discussion last year en-sued over a traffic study the city ordered to deter-

mine if changes were needed to signs near Violet Elementary School. Changes were made later that year as were changes made to the citys over-night parking ordinance and permitted parking rules.

As is typical, budget ses-sions were set at the be-ginning of last year in preparation for the June 30 deadline.

The topic of rats also reared its toothy head at that meeting an issue that continues to plague the community and coun-cil.

Members also talked trash as the citys waste hauling contract was about to expire.

Changing haulers later in the year netted the city new trash receptacles and the introduction of recy-cling carts.

Perusing the book, Rain Gardens Managing Water Sustainability by Nigel Dunnet and Andy Clayden, gave resident Erin Stahl an idea.

Eyeing photos of an en-vironmentally friendly park built in Germany featuring water wheels, cascading waterfalls, built in bench seating and a va-riety of both educational and fun water features fo-cusing on the environ-ment, Stahl thought, why not build a similar one in St. Clair Shores designed, constructed and built by its residents.

For the past several months, Stahl has been touting her plan for Blossom Heath Young Peoples Park by talking it up and showing a display board of photos from the park in Germany, with courtesy from and to Dunnet, to all who will lis-ten.

Stahl, a former council-woman and member of the citys Waterfront E n v i r o n m e n t a l Committee, said shes very familiar with the problems at Blossom Heath beach, where swimming hasnt been al-lowed in years. She said the city has tried bubblers to move the stagnant wa-ter to no avail.

The water park, she said, can improve water

quality as well as the beach aesthetics.

When I saw the book, it really said Blossom Heath to me. There are a lot of different water features like water-wheels and you can dam up the water and do other projects. It will be educa-tional for kids, as it teach-es kids in a very fun, natu-ral way how water travels around and is a really fun, serene type park, she said, adding designed properly; it can help cir-culate the stagnant water.

I want to be playing in it, she said.

Her idea is to build in five stages over five years with each phase costing about $20,000 wholly fi-nanced by donations with no government interven-tion other than permit approval and support. Once the money is in hand, volunteers will do the construction, much like playgrounds have been built in other com-munities.

This is a community project. All funding will be done before even a shovel is put into the ground. This project would be basically a gift to the city, Stahl said. All Im asking is the city give its blessing or at least put this project in the mix. Zero taxpayer dollars will be spent.

I just want residents to know theres more op-

tions than selling this property to a hotel and putting a hole in the gen-eral fund, she said, add-ing she fears government involvement will be a det-riment.

Keeping it solely in the hands of the people will ensure efficiency, she said.

We can contain costs and the love shows up in the project, she said.

The community aspect continues with design plans. Stahl will call on ar-ea environmental engi-neering students to par-

ticipate in a contest to plan the site and intro-duce new ideas.

I figure a design con-test with local colleges and raising $20,000 each year with tons of volun-teers will be enough to build something St. Clair Shores can be proud of. That is, if council and staff get behind me on this, she said. And that will only happen if I gain sup-port from our communi-ty.

Stahl said collecting do-nations for the first phase may be tough, but once

residents see what the project can be donations will pour in the next year.

While Stahl admits she has no hands-on experi-ence creating such a park, she said, Im not afraid of taking the lead. I know people who have the ex-pertise and lets get them together.

One person she wants on her side is her father, a carpenter who has creat-ed many natural woodsy landscaping environ-ments around every house he has lived in.

When introducing the

plan to the Tax Increment Finance Authority, Stahl got support from several members, including Chairman Richard Widgren.

Widgren suggested Stahls idea can be incor-porated into designs al-ready submitted to the board.

It probably fits with some of the things we are trying to do, he said. I think our families would just absolutely love it.

TIFA has been consid-ering park upgrades for several years.

Know Your SkinBy Lisa A. Manz-Dulac, MD

Need some resolutions for your New Years skin? Here are three: Protect, Detect and Restore.

Protect: Beyond protecting from obvious traumas of cuts, scrapes, and abrasions, take steps to protect your skin from the three most common causes of damage- the sun, smoking, and contact with such items as harsh chemicals and cleansers. How? Make it part of your routine to use sunscreens, every day, sum-mer and winter. If you smoke, quit. Wear gloves and protective clothing when exposed to harsh substances.

Detect: How well do you know your skin? Everyone should complete a monthly skin exam using a mirror for help. If you have many moles, a history or family history of skin cancer, dont forget to schedule an an-nual skin exam to be done by your dermatologist. We all need

to keep a watchful eye out for any changes, whether for exist-ing moles or for new spots which may appear.

Restore: In addition to using sunscreens to reduce harmful sun damage, our skin is well re-warded by the use of moistur-izers and cleansers which match our skin type. Also, there are numerous skin products avail-able over-the-counter or through your physician which can help to slow or reverse existing damage.

We wish you a happy and healthy New Year from all of the associates at Eastside Dermatology. Eastside Dermatology has offi ces in New Baltimore and Grosse Pointe. You can reach them at (313) 884-3380 or (586) 716-1291.

Nothing will bring Lexie back.

And its likely in

some minds there will never be justice, resolu-tion, or a satisfactory so-lution.

A dog was shot in the early morning hours in our town, on our streets, by our police officers.

A necropsy report shows entry wounds for eight bullets.

A police report ac-counts for only four.

A local woman lost her beloved pet.

Officers felt lethal force was necessary to stop an aggressive dog from menacing the streets and perhaps even attacking them or someone else.

But the reality is simple nothing will bring Lexie back.

Did the fact she was a pit bull mix have any-thing to do with the shooting, like many activ-ists claim?

Perhaps.Ordinances across the

country prohibit resi-

dents from owning pit bulls in certain cities St. Clair Shores is cur-rently not one of them.

Should the dog have been euthanized in the field instead of tossed in-to the back of an animal control truck to die?

Perhaps.Councilman Chris

Vitale brought up that fact at a recent council meeting.

At this point the dog had at least four bullets in it, Vitale said at the meeting. I think we were already past the idea that we were going to save this dog.

But, police officials claim they were going to take her to a veterinary clinic for treatment.

Video published on YouTube depicts Lexies final moments, bleeding,

dragged from the end of a dog stick and into the truck where she would die as a result of blood loss, according to the necropsy report.

Animal Control Officers in St. Clair Shores, according to Deputy Police Chief Todd Woodcox, are unarmed. But police officers do have the authority to eu-thanize an animal with a bullet in the field.

In the end, though, none of this really mat-ters.

Lexie is gone and no amount of bickering, fin-

ger-pointing, bad-mouthing or shouting is going to change that.

And despite the emo-tionally charged accusa-tions and pleas for jus-tice on social media, the focus should be on mak-ing this the last such in-cident in this city and perhaps beyond.

Diane Balikin, a prose-cutor for more than three decades, now dedi-cates her time and skills to being an important part of the Animal Legal Defense Fund legal team, one of the coun-trys top animal rights organizations.

It does, unfortunately, usually take some terri-ble incident to bring about change, Balkin said. Its sad to say, but its usually how it works.

This was a terrible in-

cident now lets focus on bringing about change.

City officials need to look closely at the new directives put in place by the Los Angeles Police Department in 2009.

Balkin encourages providing officers with a better understanding of dog behavior and proto-col and improve training, which could result in better outcomes.

State Rep. Sarah Roberts should review the Dog Protection Act in place in Colorado.

Activists, residents and those who have ex-pressed their views need to be patient with city and state officials. Allow them to use the powers that we, as citizens, be-stowed on them to bring about change.

Anger, frustration and

a desperate longing for justice solves very little.

As painful as it might be to hear this is no longer about Lexie, the dogits about Lexies legacy.

Its about every dog that might get loose; its about police officers faced with the decision to shoot or not.

Lexie is gone. But there is an amazing

opportunity here for this community to come to-gether, for residents to work with state and local government and bring about a change in Lexies honor.

A failure to do this is a failure to both pay trib-ute to Lexie and to give this community the type of leadership it deserves one of integrity and honor and doing what is right.

With the early arrival of arctic temperatures, ice has already formed on many of Michigans inland lakes and rivers.

The Department of Natural Resources re-minds ice fishermen and snowmobilers of its mantra: No ice is safe ice.

Just because a lake or stream looks frozen doesnt mean the ice is safe, said Lt. Andrew Turner, marine safety and education supervi-sor for the DNR Law Enforcement Division, in a press release. By following some guide-lines on how ice looks

and feels, you can avoid your day of ice fishing ending in a life-threat-ening incident.

According to Turner, you cant always tell the strength of ice simply by its look, thickness, temperature or whether it is covered with snow. New ice, he said, gener-ally is much stronger than old ice; a couple of inches of new, clear ice may be strong enough to support you, though a foot of old, air-bubbled ice may not.

Clear ice that has a bluish tint is the stron-gest, Turner said. Ice formed by melted and refrozen snow appears milky, and is often very porous and weak.

Ice covered by snow should always be pre-sumed unsafe. Snow acts like an insulating blanket and slows the freezing process. Ice under the snow will be thinner and weaker. A snowfall can also warm up and melt existing ice.

If there is slush on the

ice, stay off; its about half as strong as clear ice and indicates the ice is no longer freezing from the bottom.

Turner said anglers should be especially cautious in areas where air temperatures have fluctuated. Any newly formed ice created after a cold front moves through, should be re-garded with caution. A cold snap with very cold temperatures quickly weakens ice and can cause large cracks with-in half a day.

A warm spell may take several days to weaken the ice. When temperatures vary widely, causing the ice to thaw during the day and refreeze at night, the result is a weak, spongy or honey-combed ice that is un-safe, he said.

Ice weakens with age, and late in the season, when it turns dark and gets honeycombed, its time to quit for the sea-son. A cold snap some-

times halts the deterio-ration, but honey-combed ice never re-freezes to its original strength.

The DNR does not recommend the stan-dard inch-thickness guide used by many an-glers and snowmobilers to determine ice safety because ice seldom forms at a uniform rate.

Three or 4 inches of ice on a shallow pond with no inlets or outlets, for example, cannot be compared to the same amount of ice formed over a river with strong current, or to ice cover-ing the bays of the Great Lakes, where its always more fragile, Turner said.

Deep inland lakes take longer to freeze than shallow lakes. Ice cover on lakes with strong currents or chain-of-lakes systems is also more unpredict-able.

Always presume ice is unsafe, Turner said. Do not venture out on-to the ice unless you test the thickness and quali-ty with a spud or needle bar or an auger. Ice that is 6 or 7 inches thick in one spot can be only 2 inches thick close by.

On the big lakes, ice cover in some spots may be thick enough to safe-ly hold a car while other areas are little more than an inch thick. Conditions can change within just a few feet be-cause of currents under the ice. Be especially careful around pressure cracks. When the cur-rents are stronger, the ice gives way to open water.

is home might be thousands of

miles away, but Lake Shore High School Chinese exchange stu-dent, Gavin, uses his photography skills to give his loved ones and others a glimpse of what life is like in St. Clair Shores.

I take the pictures and post them to our blog for Chinese par-ents, he said. Then ev-eryone, my family, the families of other ex-change students, every-one, can see what were doing over here in America.

Since his arrival at Lake Shore at the begin-ning of this school year, Gavin has been a fixture on the sidelines, at events such as home-coming and assemblies and anywhere a school event is taking place.

I am pretty much at everything here with my camera, Gavin said.

And I joined the year-book team here at the school so I know some of my pictures are going to be in that. Its very ex-citing.

Gavins love of pho-tography has deep roots, he said.

My father used to be very interested in pho-tography, Gavin said. Then, in elementary school, I started to take pictures and really start-ed to learn the skills to take good photos.

I really enjoy it and Ive been taking lots of pictures ever since.

Gavin estimates he has taken more than

20,000 photos since his first day at Lake Shore and plans to keep his shutter clicking until the end of the school year.

Ill keep on taking them here, he smiled. I like to take all different kinds of pictures, too and I can do that with everything going on

here at Lake Shore. And now, my classmates and the parents are waiting

to see them and are ex-pecting them on the blog and things like that, too.

I love being able to do that for them.

Do his future plans in-

clude a career in pho-tography?

Its just something I really love, he said. And I really like that people appreciate the pictures I take. That makes me feel good. But in the future I want to learn about business. Thats my plan.

Electronics swipedThe friend of a home-

owner in the 2500 block of Madison checked on the house at 10:21 Friday, Jan. 3, to find someone stole his friends 66-inch Vizio TV, Sony PlayStation, Blu Ray player and a 63-inch TV.

The friend reported the bedroom dresser drawers were ransacked. The own-er was on his way back from vacation to check to see what else may have been taken.

Police believe the thief pried open the kitchen window next to the rear door and reached in to un-lock the door and gain ac-cess.

Partial fingerprints were found on the window and door and a box in the bed-room.

More electronics stolen

A resident in the 22000 block of Blackburn report-ed Sunday, Dec. 29, some-one broke into his house and stole various items be-longing to himself and his girlfriend visiting from Windsor, Canada.

The homeowner said the pair left the house at 3:30 p.m. and returned several hours later. He be-lieves he may have left the side door unlocked. Police reported no signs of forced entry.

Items taken include the homeowners Guess watch from the bedroom, an iPod from the living room, a Kobo eReader and a cup full of spare change.

Bird brainThe resident of a condo

in the 2200 block of Sunset Lane has a pretty good idea who walked in and stole her birds and their cages Saturday, Dec. 28.

According to police, the womans brother went to the condo that day to gath-er Christmas gifts; his sis-ter was stayed at their

mothers house. He dis-covered the birds, kept in the laundry room, were gone. There was no sign of forced entry and the thief locked the door after exit-ing.

The owner said a couple neighbors and her daugh-ter have keys, however she suspects her ex-hus-band of the theft, police said.

Stolen were a white dove with a pink tail and beak, a blue Quacker par-rot, a yellow love bird with orange on its head, anoth-er white dove and their cages.

SmashingThe ex-boyfriend of

the homeowners daugh-ter is believed responsi-ble for breaking a front window of a house in the 22000 block of Rosedale and the windows of a Neon parked in the driveway Saturday, Dec. 28.

The husband and wife homeowners were awak-ened when they heard glass breaking. The hus-band, who was down-stairs on the couch, gave chase, followed by his wife, who was asleep in a bedroom.

The suspect was seen running toward Malvern and slipped and fell. The wife told police she called out the name of the sus-

pect, who lives in Hazel Park, and he turned and looked at her. She re-turned home and called 911.

The daughter, who ar-rived home while police were there, told them she had dated the suspect and a few days earlier he left eight voice mail mes-sages, at least one saying he was going to bust out some windows. She said she did not return any of

the calls.The daughters new

boyfriend said he re-ceived a few Facebook messages from the sus-pect of a derogatory na-ture regarding the daughter.

The suspect drives an older model red Pontiac Grand Am or Grand Prix with either a blue drivers side or passengers side door.

Police followed the mans footprints in the snow and they ended just north of Rosedale on Malvern.

ICE

to be much weaker be-cause of shifting, ex-pansion and heat from sunlight reflecting off the bottom. If theres ice on the lake but water around the shoreline, proceed with caution.

Avoid areas with pro-truding logs, brush, plants and docks. These structures can absorb heat from the sun, thus weakening the sur-rounding ice. Also avoid aeration devices, such as bubblers used near marinas.

I personally would never recommend that you take a car or truck onto the ice, Turner said. But those are per-sonal decisions. I would urge that anyone wear a life jacket, wear bright colors and take a cell phone when walking onto a frozen lake or river. Also, bring along a set of ice picks or ice claws, which you can find in most sporting goods shops.

I really like that people appreciate the pictures I take. That makes me feel good. But in the future I want to learn about business. Thats my plan.

he 2014 Mitsubishi Outlander 3.0 GT S-AWC rep-

resents the Japanese au-tomakers finest efforts in its crossover utility vehi-cle line in the United States.

The Outlander, a seven-passenger compact CUV, presents itself well handsome, conservative exterior lines, colorful graphics in the instru-ment panel, lots of stan-dard features plus options and competitive pricing.

We noticed its good fit and finish, quiet interior and adequate cargo space without the more ex-treme, trendy sloping, ae-ro roofline that character-izes so many like-minded crossovers. We loved the optional wide-beam high-intensity discharge head-lights.

The premium 2014 Outlander GT model, priced at $27,795 gets a power upgrade in the form of a 24-valve 3.0-liter V-6 engine that produces 224 horsepower at 6,250 rpm and 215 pound-feet of torque at 3,750 rpm. The V-6 is mated to a six-speed automatic and an improved torque convert-er performance and a new final drive ratio all con-tribute to more miles per gallon.

The final drive ratio for this model for 2014 is 3.360.

The V-6 powered Outlander GT with all-wheel drive has an EPA rating of 20 mpg city/28 mpg highway for a com-bined 23 mpg.

The 2013 Outland GT with all-wheel drive was

rated at 19 city/25 high-way and 21 mpg com-bined.

The Outlander SE model is equipped with a 166 horsepower 2.4-liter four with continuously-variable valve lift timing technology. Mitsubishi said all 2014 Outlander models meet LEV II - ULEV emission stan-dards.

The base 4-cylinder engine is coupled to a continuously-variable transmission that mim-ics ratio patterns for the traditional shift feel. Acceleration control pro-vides better throttle re-sponse at the early stage of acceleration and post-pones upshifts until later in the rev range, the au-tomaker said.

The mid-level Outlander SE starts at $23,795. Building on the base ES, it includes a 6.1-inch touch-screen display audio system, rearview camera, Digital HD Radio, fog lights, 18-inch alloy wheels,

heated front seats and push-button engine igni-tion. All-wheel drive is available as an option on the SE.

The ES has a base price of $22,995.

Luxury features avail-able on SE and GT mod-els include a state-of-the-art 9-speaker Rockford Fosgate sound system with DTS Neural Surround, HD radio, high-definition naviga-tion system with 7-inch touch panel, voice com-mand, real-time traffic navigation system, road speed limit display and a remote power tailgate that can be activated from the drivers seat.

The test Outlander was a V-6 GT all-wheel drive with an optional touring package for $6,100. The package includes a navi-gation system with 3D mapping, lane departure warning, forward colli-sion mitigation, adaptive cruise control, power glass sunroof, leather

seating surfaces, premi-um sound system and power remote tailgate.

The lane departure warning and forward collision mitigation are the equivalent of the arch-type backseat driv-er now in your face. In spite of our efforts, we could not quiet the de-parture warning beeps.

The forward collision mitigation scared us big-time at least once, but in these driver-distracted times, it will probably make itself very useful when eyes are not al-ways on the road.

Mitsubishi has added

as standard on all 2014 Outlanders a new driver-activated ECO-mode set-ting designed to reduce fuel consumption.

The standard seven-airbag Supplemental Restraint System in-cludes side curtain air bags, drivers knee air bag and a redesigned air bag for the drivers seat. A new brake pedal reces-sion protection structure was designed to reduce driver leg injury in the event of a high-speed frontal impact. Stability control with traction con-trol logic, hill start assist

and anti-lock brakes with electronic brake-force distribution are all stan-dard on the Outlander.

A third row in the 2014 Outlander is standard on the 3.0 GT S-AWC and works well in some cir-cumstances. But gener-ally speaking, there is not enough room in this compact utility vehicle for seven people. The 2014 Outlander began arriving at dealerships in June. Final assembly is Okazaki, Japan.
