Power Play for Heroes to raise money for service dogs BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
The Power Play for Heroes on Nov. 15 not only hosts an entertaining hockey game — it also raises money for a good cause. Paul Sabatini, concept development product and business specialist-sports initiatives at GroupeSTAHL, said this is the eighth event. It raises money for Guardian Angels Medical Service Dogs. The charity provides service dogs to first responders and veterans who need them. The dogs can cost anywhere from $25,000 to $27,000 and tremendously change the quality of life for those who receive them. “They save a life, and they change a life for our veterans and first responders,” Sabatini said. He went on to say some of the veterans had tried to commit suicide in the past. “As soon as they get paired with this dog, it changed their life,” Sabatini said. “They can have a regular job. They interact with their families. It truly does change a life and save a life.” This year, the doors open at 7 p.m. and the game starts at 7:30 p.m. on Nov. 15. Tickets are $10 with kids 10 and younger free of charge. It is located at the St. Clair Shores Civic Ice Arena at 20000 Stephens Road, in the Garden Rink.

Officials claim charges, remarks are politically motivated targeting county prosecutor BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com
On Oct. 7, the mayor of St. Clair Shores and City Council members blasted Michigan Attorney Dana Nessel’s decision to bring felony charges against three election workers and four residents after the residents reportedly voted twice in the August primary election. The comments from the officials came during the City Council’s regular meeting. St. Clair Shores City Clerk Abby Barrett gave an overview of what happened. She said four individuals voted both absentee and in person during the August primary election. “My office became aware of this immediately on election night when reconciling and running reports,” Barrett said. “We turned these reports into the county prosecutor’s office, the (Macomb) county Board of Canvassers, the local police department and the (Michigan) Bureau of Elections.”
