SMCC s inclusion program to produce first graduate
Like most seniors, Jacob Goda is preparing for the end of the school year.
A student at St. Mary Catholic Central, he’s eagerly awaiting the chance to dance at prom and take part in graduation festivities. And he has college on the horizon he’s been accepted to a program at the University of Toledo.
“I am excited about going to college I can do whatever I want without my parents knowing,” Jacob joked.
But when the final bell rings on his last day, it will mark a milestone for both Jacob and SMCC.

Lawmakers in Michigan s House of Representatives have introduced a package of bills designed to make changes to existing laws regarding public safety.
The seven-bill package has bipartisan support, and seeks to lower recidivism rates and provide support to victims of crimes.
House bills 4670-4677 would make a variety of changes to the state s corrections system. HB 4670, for example, would set up a system of productivity time units that incentivize inmates participating in a vocational or educational program. These units could have an impact on whether that inmate is granted parole.
The bills would also amend rules for victims of crimes who receive compensation from the state. For instance, HB 4674 would increase the amount of money a victim is eligible to receive, and would expand the definition of who could benefit from such compensation in the event that the victim is killed as a result of the crime.

What is lost when an urban area is “renewed?”
That’s the question being asked by an exhibition called “Black Bottom Street View,” on display at the Detroit Public Library s Main Branch through March 15.
University of Detroit Mercy School of Architecture professor Emily Kutil used a treasure trove of old photographs to recreate the long-gone Detroit residential area known as Black Bottom.
The neighborhood was the center of the city’s black community until it was torn down in the 1950s as part of an urban renewal effort that eventually included the construction of Interstate 75.
Kutil’s display groups photos by location to simulate the experience of walking through the streets of 1940s Black Bottom.
