Christmas Eve dinner offered to anyone in need and all veterans
Members of the legal community in Macomb County have joined together to offer a Christmas Eve dinner for the needy in the area. All veterans are welcome as well, organizers say.
The meal — donated by local attorneys — will be offered on Tuesday, Dec. 24, from 2-5 p.m., at the Rec Bowl, 40 Crocker Blvd. in Mt. Clemens.
Mount Clements attorney Stephen Steinhardt said the menu will feature turkey, mashed potatoes, corn and corn bread. Pizza also will be available.
Servers will include Macomb County Circuit Court Judges Mark Switalski, James Maceroni and Rachel Rancilio along with 41B District Court Judge Jacob Femminineo Jr., 39th District Court Judge Aliyah Hakim as well as Judges Annemarie Lepore and Stephen Sierawski, both of 41A District Court.
County Executive Mark Hackel and Sheriff Anthony Wickersham also will be helping serve those who come.
Area businesses and organizations such as the Macomb County Chamber of Commerce played a part in planning the holiday event.
“We saw a need for this,” Steinhardt said, “and this is a good way for us to give back.”
Sandy Hook lawsuit against gunmaker set for trial in 2021
HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) — A Connecticut judge says a lawsuit by families of Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting victims against Remington Arms will go to trial in September of 2021.
A survivor and relatives of nine victims of the 2012 massacre filed the wrongful death lawsuit against Remington in 2015, saying the company should have never sold such a dangerous weapon to the public and alleging it targeted younger, at-risk males in marketing and product placement in violent video games.
Remington made the Bushmaster AR-15-style rifle used to kill 20 first graders and six educators at the Newtown, Connecticut, school on Dec. 14, 2012.
The Hartford Courant reported that Superior Court Judge Barbara Bellis in Waterbury set the court date after nearly two hours of discussions with attorneys for Remington and the families.
The Connecticut Supreme Court ruled 4-3 in March that Remington could be sued under state law over how it marketed the rifle.
Man stuffs bags of shrimp down pants in grocery thefts
RIVERSIDE, Calif. (AP) — A thief stuffed a total of 30 bags of frozen shrimp down his pants in back-to-back burglaries of a Southern California grocery store, police said Wednesday.
The man took the shrimp from a Vons market in the city of Riverside by entering the store three times in a span of 15 minutes on Dec. 14.
Each time he went to the frozen food section and concealed the shrimp in his pants, Riverside police said in a statement.
The stolen food had a retail value of more than $500.
Security video of the suspect in the market was posted on the Police Department’s Facebook page.
