The village of Franklin continues to discuss burn ordinance

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

FRANKLIN — At the Franklin Village Council meeting April 14, the council discussed the topic of open burning — specifically, proposing an amendment to Village Code Section 307.

This item was considered “old business” in the meeting agenda because it was referred to the Planning Commission from the Village Council on Sept. 9, 2024. In the referral, the Planning Commission was directed to review the definition of a “bonfire” for clarity. Following this, the Planning Commission worked to do that and to bring all regulations in compliance with laws set by the state of Michigan.

At a Planning Commission meeting Jan. 15, there was a public hearing held about this item of discussion. The Planning Commission then recommended that the Village Council approve the proposed revision to the open burning regulations. This was once again an agenda item at a March 10 council meeting.

“We don’t want to risk the ability of our neighbors from being able to have campfires and cook over fire. That’s not the intent of this ordinance. The intent is … when you’re burning brush and debris on your property, you do it in a safe manner,” Stuart Wooters, the chair of Franklin’s Planning Commission, said at the March 10 meeting.

Marian High School breaks ground on $7 million renovation

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — On April 14, Marian High School began the first phase of its Marian for the Generations Capital Campaign.

This $7 million transformation has two phases. The first one is to renovate the school’s science and visual arts facilities.

This is the first major renovation the school has undergone in over 10 years. The last project was for the purpose of improving the student dining area and kitchen.

The groundbreaking took place at the beginning of

Tollway text message scam is on the rise

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Michiganders are warned to be on the lookout for text messages requesting overdue toll payments.

The messages, according to officials, are one of the latest attempts to steal personal information.

The scam involves criminals mimicking the Michigan Department of Transportation website and sending text messages soliciting payment for traveling certain roads to unsuspecting drivers.

The Michigan Department of Transportation doesn’t operate toll roads, according to State Transportation Director Bradley C. Wieferich, so any messages requesting payment should raise a red flag.

“Please be assured this is a scam and the texts are not coming from the MDOT or another State of Michigan agency,” Wieferich said in a statement. “MDOT does not operate any toll roads. Some state-owned bridges are tolled but not through license plate capture. You would not receive a bill through text or email.”

While toll scams aren’t new, local police say this one is quickly becoming more prevalent in the metro Detroit area.

the school’s Easter break, April 14. The project is expected to conclude sometime in the early fall. In-school and afterschool activities will not be affected by the construction.

“We had enough space in the building to maneuver around this to have as little impact as possible on the educational experience for the remainder of this school year and then for a little bit in the fall,” Marian Principal Stacey Cushman said.

One of the components of the project is renovating the hallways to have a modern aesthetic with a more open design.

“I’ve probably gotten four or five of them myself,” Bloomfield Township Community Relations Officer Heather Glowacz said.

“Everyone at the station is getting them too, and all of my friends, so it’s not just in Bloomfield — the whole state is getting these scam texts, unfortunately.”

The message says it’s a final reminder and threatens legal action if immediate payment isn’t made, with a deceptive link designed to resemble the official MDOT website.

The text should be reported as junk and deleted.

“Before entering your credit card information in response to any kind of text message, take a moment to look closely. If the link does not include an official web domain,

Construction is the general contractor. The Farnell Equipment Company will outfit the science laboratories. All three of those companies have Marian High School connections. During the second phase, Michigan Air Products, which also has Marian High ties, will install HVAC systems.

Modernizing science facilities

All of the lab tables are original to when the school was built in 1959.

“Our curriculum is amazing and we need to have an environment that also matches our curriculum,” Marian President Heather Sofran said.

As part of the renovation, five science classrooms will be renovated and equipped with stateof-the-art laboratory equipment and technology. In these newly-renovated classrooms, there will be updated infrastructure, collaborative learning spaces and a computer laboratory.

Centralized art facilities

Previously, Marian’s art classrooms were separated throughout the building. Through this project, the pottery, design and arts classrooms will be located together in a visual and digital arts hub.

“To have it all housed in one creative hub and in

a hallway together is unique and special, and I think it will be a really great environment for our students to explore their creativity and innovate,” Sofran said.

Building excitement

The construction has only just begun and students are already signing up for classes in the newlyrenovated classrooms.

“The number of students who have signed up for classes that will be held in those new spaces is notable,” Cushman said. “I’m excited about the way this whole renovation is going to transform the way that our students learn. I think that this really does move us in a forward direction.”

The next phase

The second phase of the project, which is expected to occur during the summer in 2026, will result in new windows and air conditioning.

The Marian High School community is looking forward to the renovations and the opportunities it will open up to students.

“We are very grateful that we have this opportunity to make a difference in our building and take Marian to the next level,” Sofran said.

Birmingham gains representation on statewide commission

BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com

BIRMINGHAM — The city of Birmingham will now be represented on the Michigan Historical Commission by Birmingham Museum Director Leslie Pielack, who was recently appointed to the commission by Winnie Brinks, the majority leader of the Michigan Senate.

It is a two-year appointment, with the possibility of a reappointment. Pielack’s first meeting was on April 25 in Lansing. There are a total of five annual meetings.

The Michigan Historical Commission is made up of nine members. In addition to Pielack, the commission consists of Brian James Egen from Monroe, the president of the commission; Timothy Chester from Grand Rapids, the vice president of the commission; Laura Rose Ashlee from Okemos; Joseph Calvaruso from Galesburg; Delia Fernández-Jones from Lansing; Eric P. Hemenway from Harbor Springs; Larry J. Wagenaar from Ada; and Sandra S. Clark, who is an ex officio for the commission and

throughout the state. These green markers with brass lettering have an iconic look and are spread out throughout the state.

“Those (historical site markers) are all technically approved through the Michigan Historical Commission because the markers need to be accurate and there needs to be the proper history behind the application to verify that what the applicant is asking for to be recognized here is true and accurate,” Pielack said.

Pielack compared her new role to the work she is dedicated to at the Birmingham Museum.

“We as historians all take a point of view with us wherever we go, and to be doing something like reviewing historical texts on markers is similar, I think, to how we approach doing an exhibit,” she said.

She said she believes she can contribute to the approval of the historical site markers by offering “how to tell a story succinctly and help the public understand it.”

Birmingham City Manager Jana Ecker shared some thoughts about Pielack’s appointment.

“Leslie’s background in historic preservation makes her an excellent fit for the Michigan Historical Commission,” Ecker stated via a press release. “She has worked on several historic sites in Oakland County and is a strong advocate for the important role of local history in bringing communities together and recognizing our shared heritage.”

the director of the Michigan History Center. The main function of the Michigan Historical Commission is to make the final decision on the historical site markers

For instance, Pielack said whether creating a local history exhibit or approving historical site markers, it is important to ask these questions: “What’s the best way to describe this so that the public understands it? How can we be accurate about it? How can we reflect the story?”

At that meeting, Franklin Village Council member David Sahli outlined proposed revisions to the ordinance. Some of the changes include various clarifications and age requirements for permits to open burn.

At the same meeting, Village Council President David Goldberg brought up the Fire Department, specifically, suggesting to add a revision to the ordinance that reads, “The Fire Department shall have the right to enter the property for the purpose of inspecting any fire for which a permit has or should have been issued.”

At the April 14 Village Council meeting, Sahli brought up the idea of implementing a fee schedule to penalize someone for open burning without a permit. He suggested that as part of this schedule, the first fee would be a low-dollar threshold.

“What happens if somebody doesn’t file a permit? Nothing. It’s a slap on the wrist,” Sahli said.

The council approved the addition of terms of violation and a violation fee schedule to the proposed amendment. Since it was approved, the addition will be considered by the council during the second reading of the Proposed Amendment to Village Code Section 307.

Late fees

from page 1A

trator for the 48th District Court, the court has had the program off and on throughout the years, but since the pandemic, it has been more consistent.

According to the Revised Judicature Act of 1961, which can be viewed by visiting legislature.mi.gov, “Except as otherwise provided in subsection (3), a person who fails to pay a penalty, fee, or costs in full within 56 days after that amount is due and owing is subject to a late penalty equal to 20% of the amount owed.”

Through the program, the public can be relieved of the late fees, bench warrant fees and penalties that have built up from not paying the fine in time.

“It is a great opportunity for them (the public) to clear up old tickets and pay what the original ticket was and avoid some of those late fees and penalties that were imposed,” Dunn said.

48th District Court Supervisor Heather Wrubel said, “It takes quite a bit of the fines and costs and brings them down so that it would be more manageable for the individual to pay.”

This also may give the public the oppor-

tunity to restore their driving privileges, depending on what type of civil infraction it is.

“Hopefully, it will help them with insurance and their driving record and everything else, and they will feel better about knowing that they are out there driving without any tickets hanging over their head,” Dunn said.

There is also a benefit to the court because it provides the opportunity to “clear out the backlog of some of these unpaid tickets from our case management system and to avoid some of the costs and resources that need to be used to continue the collection efforts,” Dunn said.

Money orders or certified checks that are placed in the drop box of the courthouse or sent via U. S. mail to the 48th District Court will be accepted.

Personal and business checks are not acceptable forms of payment and no payment plans may be set up. Cash payments must be done inside the courthouse.

Those looking to pay online can pay with a credit or debit card at 48thdistrictcourt.us. However, a service fee will be added for those who choose that option.

To check eligibility for this program and confirm the amount owed, call the court at (248) 686-5150 or (248) 686-5148, Monday through Friday, between 1:30 p.m. and 4 p.m.

SPOTLIGHT ON WOMEN IN BUSINESS

BREAKING BARRIERS WOMEN FORGE NEW PATHS IN THE TRADES

BY KATHRYN PENTIUK kpentiuk@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Monroe resident Traci Longenbarger has been breaking barriers for women in the trades for a decade now, working as a female carpenter.

Longenbarger is a business agent for the Michigan Regional Council of Carpenters and Millwrights, a union that represents 14,000 carpenters and millwrights across Michigan. She also serves as a part-time instructor for the International Code Council’s Contractor/Trades examination program, and is a career correction specialist, which grants her the opportunity to speak at career fairs and schools.

She is also a Sisters in the Brotherhood point of contact, which is a mentoring group for women in carpentry.

Having gone from Dundee, Michigan, to Hawaii right out of high school, to South Dakota and then back to Metro Detroit, Longenbarger worked a variety of jobs, from carpet cleaning to corrections in the sheriff’s department, to a 10-year career in security.

After she was let go from her security position, Longenbarger started over again at age 34.

“We had a shift in management. I got fired. So here I am, 30-something years old, 10 years I worked in that field. I was devastated,” she explained.

After a year of struggling to make ends meet, an encounter with her dad’s neighbor led her to find a new passion.

“I went and visited my parents back in Dundee. My dad does what old guys do, and they work out in their yard, and they talk to their neighbors,” Longenbarger said. “I went home that day and my dad’s like, ‘Hey, you should go talk to the neighbor.’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know who your neighbors are anymore. I’m not going to go talk to some stranger. No.’ He’s like, ‘No, you’re going to go talk to this guy.’”

Longenbarger’s dad introduced her to his neighbor who was in the MRCC union, and the rest is history for her.

She explained that it was difficult when she first started out and that it was a hard field to break into because it was predomi-

ASK DR. LO

Is there a natural way to rejuvenate my face?

Dr. Gustav Lo, MD

Dear Dr. Lo,

I’m starting to notice changes in my face – volume loss, fne lines, less frmness – but I’m hesitant about traditional fllers. I don’t want to look “done.” Are there other options that actually work but still look natural?

Great question. Over the past 25 years, I’ve worked with thousands of patients who want to look refreshed and vibrant –but still like themselves. That’s where the feld of regenerative aesthetics really stands out.

Rather than just adding volume with traditional fllers, regenerative treatments work by stimulating your body to repair and rebuild its own tissue. At Cosmetic Skin & Laser Center, we use biostimulants like Sculptra and Radiesse, platelet-based therapies like PRF, and even energy-based devices – such as lasers and microneedling with radiofrequency – to rebuild collagen, improve skin texture, and restore elasticity. These modalities are often overlooked when providers focus only on lips and cheekbones, but they’re essential for long-lasting, natural-looking results.

Sculptra gradually restores volume by prompting new collagen production, Radiesse improves skin elasticity and frmness, and PRF enhances texture and tone – especially in delicate areas like the eyes and neck. Energy-based treatments support and amplify these results by creating a stronger foundation in the skin itself.

The beauty of regenerative aesthetic treatments is in their subtlety and staying power. You won’t look “done” – you’ll just look like a more vibrant version of yourself. If you’re curious about a modern, science-backed way to age naturally, let’s talk.

She said all it took was one “yes” amid all of the “noes” to build the confidence that she needed to break out as a woman in the trades.

When Longenbarger first started out in carpentry 10 years ago, she only had two other women in her apprenticeship program that she rarely saw because their classes were on different days.

“That stigma is still out there, that women shouldn’t be out there in the field doing the work but it’s changing. It has changed so much in 10 years,” Longenbarger said. “Back when I came in, and I’m lucky, I had a few incidences that happened to me, but I held my ground. I knew who I was. I stood up for myself, and I had great guys working around me and saw me for the hard worker I was.”

Now, in her current role, Longenbarger gets to encourage and inspire other women in the trades.

“I get to go to high schools to talk. I get to talk at career fairs, women’s events, anywhere that they give me the opportunity to chat about our facility and our career and our opportunities that we offer,” she said. “I

am so more than proud to do that, because the MRCC has given me so much, and I’ve given them as well. It’s a give-and-take relationship, but I get so much out of it.”

Third-year Ferris State University construction management student Paige Sornig always knew that she didn’t want a desk job.

“I like the idea of getting to see the project being built, and helping people, especially with newer buildings,” Sornig said.

As a Rochester Adams High School student, she was granted the opportunity to attend Oakland Schools Technical Campuses during her junior and senior years, where she caught a glimpse at the construction program.

She shared that after touring Ferris State, she was hooked because it was like OSTC “on steroids.”

She said there was some apprehension expressed by some family members and friends when she chose this field.

“My own mom, at first, she seemed kind of against it,” she said. “But I think the more she looked into it, and the more I talked to her about it, she definitely opened up a lot more. And now she even was like, there’s no other job she could see me doing.”

As she heads into her final year at Ferris, she is interested in pursuing entertainment construction, which includes sites like

amusement parks, stadiums and venues.

She added that she also likes the idea of building schools.

“Last year, I built a school in Detroit, and I had a parent come up to me, and they were just crying,” Sornig said. “They were like, ‘Thank you for making the school safer for my kids. I feel so much more comfortable and confident with them going here. It means a lot, and it especially means a lot that you’re a female, because I was telling my daughter, ‘Girls can do anything,’ and she saw you and she was like, ‘Whoa, Mom, look at her.’”

Longenbarger and Sornig encouraged other women to find a trade that they enjoy

if they’re interested.

“I like to stress to women coming in, we are a sisterhood, and it is a brotherhood, but sisters coming into this, there’s more than one position. You can work with other women. It doesn’t have to be you versus them, like, it should be us united working together,” Longenbarger said.

nect people with the museum’s collection in new and exciting ways,” Julie McFarland, the executive director of public affairs and engagement for the DIA, stated via the release.

“This year, with reproductions placed across Oakland County, we hope this small representation of the collection not only brings art to people’s everyday lives but also inspires a visit to the museum.”

The Inside|Out program will share artwork reproductions with various communities throughout Oakland County, including Beverly Hills, Waterford Township, Madison Heights, Lake Orion, some Oakland County Parks locations and all of Oakland Community College’s campuses.

Inside|Out is scheduled to run from May until October, with the installation dates varying.

This is the sixth year that Oakland Community College will have installations on all five of its campuses. At OCC’s Auburn Hills campus, “Cycles” by Norval Morrisseau is scheduled to be displayed, according to a representative of the DIA.

“OCC will once again be home to 15 pieces of art from 15 artists, on all five campuses, from May to October this year. The Inside|Out partnership highlights the power of two great community institutions coming together to ensure art is accessible for all to enjoy,” Eunice Jeffries, who is the executive director of government and community affairs for OCC, stated via email. “Each piece was selected to enhance and complement the natural beauty of OCC’s campuses, while capturing individual curiosity and interest in art appreciation. These pieces are strategically located so that students, employees and our community can enjoy while on campus attending classes, community events, or simply walking our campuses.”

Other pieces of art that are set to be displayed include “Fruit Piece” by Robert S. Duncanson in Lake Orion; “Portrait of Postman Roulin” by Vincent van Gogh in Waterford; and “Woman Supreme” by Wadsworth Jarrell in Madison Heights.

“Seeing art in the community is just one way we hope people will connect with our collection,” McFarland stated via the release. “Now, with a simple scan of a QR code next to any Inside|Out installation, you can find the next closest artwork or start planning your visit to the DIA.”

The new web experience launches later this spring, according to the DIA. In the meantime, for more information visit dia. org/insideout.

TREES OFFER MANY BENEFITS TO RESIDENTS AND THE LOCAL ECOSYSTEM

BY ALYSSA OCHSS aochss@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Trees play an important role in our natural habitats and urban areas. With Arbor Day having taken place April 25, here are some ways you can start your tree-planting journey.

Cyndi Ross, restoration manager at Friends of the Rouge, suggests planting native tree species. She said there are species of trees that have adapted to urban areas and are more successful. At Friends of the Rouge, a nonprofit that is dedicated to the restoration of the Rouge River, they plant trees such as red maple, swamp white oak and more. A flowering tree they plant is the Eastern redbud.

“It blooms before the leaves come out so that you really get that striking pink,” Ross said about the Eastern redbud.

When planting trees for the first time, it’s important to remember where service lines and utility lines are in a yard. Ross said to always look up for lines. She said some of the smaller trees will work under conditions where power lines are high above.

Ross said the most common mistake people make when planting a tree

Trees

is planting it too shallow or too high.

“You want to plant it level with the ground around it,” Ross said.

She went on to say to open the roots of the tree when it’s wrapped in burlap or in a pot.

“I wouldn’t be super aggressive, but you’re not going to harm them if you gently pull them apart a little bit, and that will help them grow outward instead of continuing in that spiral of the pot or the ball they were growing in,” Ross said.

Jennifer Lau, master gardner at English Gardens in Royal Oak, said most things are fine to plant at this time of year. However, some vegetables would not be suitable for planting until the ground gets a bit warmer.

Lau said gardening is not as hard as people think and everyone can do it.

She said residents need to have access to water for the trees they plant when they are newly established, and they need to place some mulch around them.

Trees know when winter is coming due to the decreased amount of sunlight and naturally protect themselves, Lau said. But winter also freezes the ground until around May when temperatures get warmer. People are often eager to start planting when the air temperatures get warmer.

“Well, the air temperature is warm, but it takes a minute for everything to thaw underneath,” Lau said.

One of the goals of the Friends of the Rouge is to improve water quality in the Rouge River as well as beyond the watershed. Ross said what people do on the land affects water quality because of underground sewer systems and other things. Trees can act as a natural filter for water, as they take in a lot of it in their roots. The water is transpired in the atmosphere and Ross said it stabilizes rain.

Some benefits of trees include shade and habitats for animals including pollinators. Ross said even oak trees provide a habitat for pollinators.

“People think of flowers, and that’s great, but trees provide so much,” Ross said.

LINGENFELTER COLLECTION

ANNUAL SPRING OPEN HOUSE IS MAY 3

DONATIONS WILL RAISE MONEY FOR THE AMERICAN CANCER SOCIETY

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

BRIGHTON — The Lingenfelter Collection, in Brighton, is a private car collection that pays tribute to America’s love for the automobile.

Owned by Ken and Kristin Lingenfelter, the collection is closed to the public, except for a few times a year in which it opens for charity events.

The 1963 Chevrolet Corvette

coupe is probably Ken

favorite car. He first discovered the sports car at age 10.

Car fans, start your engines because it’s time for the Lingenfelters’ annual Spring Open House. The Lingenfelter Collection will be open to the public from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. May 3. While there is no set cost to attend the family-friendly event, visitors are asked to make at-will donations at the door. Money raised from the event will benefit the American Cancer Society. Neither tickets nor reservations are required.

“Cancer has touched everybody at some point,” Ken said. “I lost my father, Charles, and my sister, Karen, to it. This is a way to help the American Cancer Society.”

Attendees can view the whole collection, which includes 150 Corvettes, muscle cars, exotic European models and race cars. The collection is spaced out in three rooms that measure about 30,000 square feet. The Spring Open House not only raises money for a worthy cause, but it kicks off cruising season for car buffs.

“This is kind of a celebration of being able to get their favorite cars out. It’s actually very fun. People can come in and we’ll lead them to the collection,” Ken said. “Car enthu-

siasts love this museum. There’s something for everybody. We get a lot of young kids.”

The Ferrari and Corvette models seem to be the crowd favorite. Spectators can also view late ’60s and early ’70s muscle cars, among other unique styles. Ninety percent of the collection is the Lingenfelters’ with 10% owned by friends displaying their vehicles.

Ken’s wife, Kristin Lingenfelter, will be at the open house. She is such a sports car enthusiast that she races in regional and national events with the Sports Car Club of America and the National Council of Corvette Clubs. In 2022, the racing competitor was named NCCC Rookie of the Year in the Michigan Region.

“She tried it out once and fell in love with it,” Ken said.

Ken is the owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, which offers engine building, engine and chassis tuning components, and installation for most GM vehicles, “with a large presence of Corvettes,” Ken said.

In 2008, Ken acquired Lingenfelter Performance Engineering, founded by his distant cousin John Lingenfelter. The company’s headquarters is located in Brighton where the annual Spring Open House will be. Lingenfelter Performance Engineering has two more locations: a build center in Wixom, and a build center in Decatur, Indiana.

“We build race cars as well, and we also build performance engines,” Ken said. “Many times (customers) want the engine rebuilt to get the performance.”

Recently, Ken joined the National Cor-

vette Museum Board of Directors as an atlarge member. Ken’s dad was a General Motors executive, so he’s always had an interest in high-performance cars. His favorite car is the 1963 split-window Chevrolet Corvette Stingray. He first spotted the sports car when he was 10 years old, and years later bought one of his own.

“It was so exotic and profound. It’s such a great design. It’s a sports car that is very fun to drive,” Ken said. “I love Corvettes more than any other car. It’s an amazing product built by GM.”

The Lingenfelter Spring Open House has raised more than $392,000 for the American Cancer Society since 2016. The American Cancer Society funds cancer research, provides support and access to care for all cancer patients, and continues its work to prevent, find and treat cancer.

“Each year we are blown away by the generosity of the car enthusiast community,” Jenni Beamer, senior executive director of the American Cancer Society in Michigan, said in a prepared statement. “The American Cancer Society is grateful to the Lingenfelters for this amazing opportunity that raises critical funds for our work right here in Michigan to end cancer as we know it, for everyone.”

Attendees at the spring open house will have the opportunity to pick up a free colorectal cancer screening kit on-site. Trinity Health Michigan will distribute the kits and provide educational materials and information about colorectal cancer screening at the event.

The Lingenfelter Collection is located at 7819 Lochlin Drive in Brighton. There is also a retail store on-site. For more information, visit the Lingenfelter Collection Spring Open House on Facebook.

Coin

District Court judge consistently met with various coin clubs around the state to come up with a theme and design for the collector coin. Many topics were considered to represent Michigan, including Motown, colleges and the Mackinac Bridge. Ultimately, the choice was made to honor Detroit’s automobile assembly line on the collector coin.

On April 8, Bieda and others involved with the process unveiled the Michigan Innovation Dollar during a ceremony at the Detroit Historical Museum, 5401 Woodward Ave. The MotorCities National Heritage Area, the Michigan History Foundation and the Michigan State Numismatic Society hosted the event.

The Michigan Innovation Dollar features a 1930s-era assembly line in which a team of autoworkers are lowering an automobile body into place. On the flipside is the Statue of Liberty.

According to a MotorCities National Heritage Area press release, the design was created by U.S. Mint Artistic Infusion Program designer Ronald D. Sanders and was sculpted by U.S. Mint Medallic artist John P. McGraw.

“I was delighted by the way it looked,” Bieda said when he first saw the coin. “This is a little slice of history.”

The assembly line concept hit close to home for Bieda, who grew up in an automotive family. His dad worked for General Motors and Chrysler, his grandpa worked on the Model T assembly line, and Bieda had summer internships at the GM Tech Center in Warren.

During the ceremony, Michigan History Foundation Director Bill Arnold talked about the innovations that contributed to the automobile industry and assembly line technology “for which our state is worldrenowned.”

“This is our history. That’s why we’re so committed to preserving and interpreting that history,” Arnold said. “We’re so proud to be a part of this commemorative effort and celebrate the legacy of the state of Michigan and our people whose contributions to innovation are represented by this Innovation Dollar.”

Brian Yopp, deputy director of the MotorCities National Heritage Area, also ad-

dressed the crowd.

“The assembly line is an innovation that revolutionized auto production, making cars affordable to the masses and literally putting the world on wheels,” Yopp said. “It took

an idea that was a craft — they were making cars by hand one at a time — that exploded into the industry that we know and love.

“The story we’re telling didn’t start too See COIN on page 27A

far from here. Not too far down Woodward Avenue, going towards the river, Ransom E. Olds owned a place. He patented an assembly line and had a plant here in Detroit before it burned,” Yopp said. “The story moves to an area called Milwaukee Junction. This was sort of a bed of automobile manufacturing in the early 1900s. That’s where a lot of folks were trying to get their start. You see the stories of Packard and Hudson.”

Yopp said the Highland Park Ford Plant is “where things got launched and started” and “most people got their image of what the assembly line was and the impact it made more than a century later.”

The U.S. Mint made arrangements to have coins on sale for $1 after the ceremony, with a limit of two coins per person. The coins will not be available in banks. The American Innovation Dollars struck with a circulation quality finish will not be released to the Federal Reserve for general circula-

tion. The unveiling ceremony was made possible through donations from the sponsors that permitted the coins to be sold at face value for $1.

The collector coins will cost higher than face value because they are offered on the U.S. Mint’s website, usmint.gov. According to Bieda, the cost will be $36.25 for 25 coins, or a bag of 100 for $123.50. He said all of the coins at the April 8 ceremony can be used for commerce and were struck at the Philadelphia Mint. Bieda said the coins are being sold through eBay now from people who were at the unveiling. There are plans to put the coin on display at the Detroit Historical Museum.

During the ceremony, Kathy Freeland, of the Michigan Numismatic Association, and Rebecca Salminen Witt, chief strategy and marketing officer of the Detroit Historical Society, spoke to attendees. American Numismatic Association President Tom Uram reminded everyone that National Coin Week is April 20-26 this year.
