Paul Goike
Lakeview Public Schools teacher passes away
Lakeview High School social studies teacher Paul Goike died on Oct. 7 after a long battle with cancer. Many people, including former students, family members and others, posted on his online tribute wall, reflecting on what Goike, 69, did for them and how he will be deeply missed.
Lakeview Public Schools Superintendent Karl Paulson said in an email he sends his condolences and prayers to the family, friends and loved ones.
“During his time at Lakeview, Paul demonstrated an exceptional commitment to academic excellence and instilled a love for learning in his students that will endure as a lasting legacy,” Paulson wrote. “His work with the Powder Puff teams for many years, kindness, patience and encouragement left an indelible mark on all who had the privilege of knowing him.”

St. Clair Shores residents experience break-ins
The St. Clair Shores Police Department recently had several calls regarding thefts from unlocked cars, Police Chief Jason Allen said in an email.
These thefts are random, Allen said in the email, and items of value are usually stolen.
To deter thefts, undercover officers and uniformed officers in unmarked police vehicles are placed in neighborhoods at night, Allen said in the email. Residents have also sent in videos showing the suspects entering vehicles.
Allen also said patterns of thefts of this type emerge a couple times a year and that other nearby cities are experiencing them as well.
“Locking all doors and windows is the most important way to avoid being victimized,” Allen said. “Outdoor lighting can help discourage criminals from entering your property. The videos help let officers know which vehicles to watch for.”
