BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP— An outcry of concern from Bloomfield Township residents has prompted the Michigan Department of Transportation to keep the Square Lake Road ramp to the eastbound Interstate 75 business loop.

MDOT’s Oakland Transportation Service Center Man-

ager Lori Swanson said MDOT was originally looking at removing the Square Lake Road ramp to eastbound I-75 business loop due to safety concerns while it works to rebuild the I-75 business loop — which comprises Square Lake Road, from Woodward Avenue to I-75 in Bloomfield Township.

Swanson said there is a big speed differential in the area and short-weave merge lanes.

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — A Pontiac man has been charged after reportedly making threats against a well-known ice skating and hockey club in Bloomfield Township.

Benjamin Jeffrey Denning, 38, was arraigned April 26 in 48th District Court on one charge of misuse of telecommunications services, a misdemeanor.

Denning was denied bond for his threats against the Detroit Skate Club.

Bloomfield Township police were called April 18 about a threatening voicemail message left at the Detroit Skating Club, on Denison Denning Court in Bloomfield Township.

The caller, who left a voicemail identifying himself as Benjamin Jeffrey Denning, reportedly threatened to shoot people with an AR-15, including any police who responded.

On April 25, the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office filed charges against Denning in connection with the latest incident, and officers arrested him later that day.

Denning already had a warrant out for his arrest from the 48th District Court for malicious use of telecommunications services regarding “inappropriate communications with court personnel” in October 2020. He was issued a $300,000 cash bond in connection with the previous warrant.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — Since 1997, only about 800 people have earned the National Association of Flight Instructors Master Flight Instructor accreditation. Bloomfield Hills resident and NAFI member Steven Tupper recently earned his NAFI Master Flight Instructor accreditation.

NAFI, the oldest and largest professional association for flight instructors, requests that applicants meet an extensive list of eligibility requirements in order to earn this accreditation.

Some of these requirements include two years of

being a flight instructor, a minimum of 1,000 hours of flight instruction to a student, and involvement and leadership in the local aviation community. The full list of requirements can be found on nafinet.org/eligibility.

“One of the big things that the program has is the longevity of itself. It is internationally recognized as a very difficult program to receive,” said John Niehaus, the NAFI director of program development. “For anybody that is accredited currently or even previously, it is very well known in the industry that this individual is in the upper echelon of what it means to be an instructor.”

While 800 people have received this accreditation, only about 61 are currently active. The accreditaSee TUPPER on page 18A

Java and Jazz with the Ryan Bills Trio returns May 21

On the third Sunday of every month until October, The Ryan Bills Trio will bring jazz to the Beverly Park Pavilion. The Ryan Bills Trio is a group of young professional musicians who feature one older and established musician at Java and Jazz.

BEVERLY HILLS — Free coffee, breakfast snacks and live jazz will be available at Java and Jazz at the Beverly Park Pavilion 9 a.m.-noon on the third Sundays of the month starting May 21.

“It’s a really cool thing to do on a Sunday morning,” Village Clerk and Assistant Village Manager Kristin Rutkowski said. “Enjoy live music, grab a coffee, and talk with your neighbors.”

Each morning of Java and Jazz, the Ryan Bills Trio will feature talented musicians who play various jazz instruments. This is the third season Ryan Bills Trio will be involved with Java and Jazz.

After graduating from Wayne State University with a music degree, Ryan Bills approached the Beverly Hills Parks and Recreation Department to perform during the summer of 2021.

“Right away I approached it with the idea of ‘let’s get a young band of young professional musicians and let’s set it up as a featured artist series to feature an older, more established artist in the Detroit area,’ and that is what we have done,” Bills said. “Every concert has been a band of young people in their early 20s and one older, well-respected musician.”

BIO-IDENTICAL

! e f i L r u o eY

Hormone Replacement Therapy

One of the most common things I hear from patients is “Why have my other doctors missed this?”

Every day there are women in my office crying grateful tears that they’ve found a doctor that actually listens to them; one who is determined to get to the source of the problem. They’re tired of hearing that

Dr. Rona Wadle

they’re just stressed out or depressed, and of doctors pushing prescriptions designed to treat symptoms. It’s gratifying to be able to reassure these women that they’re not crazy or misunderstood, and that we have the knowledge and the tools to help them. It’s called bio-identical hormone replacement therapy, or BHRT. At Renew My Wellness we offer BHRT for men and women.

54 YEAR OLD FEMALE PATIENT PRISCILLA SAYS: I was very over-extended professionally and personally when I started to experience symptoms related to perimenopause and assumed that my weight gain, lack of energy and emotional mental state was due to stress and the pandemic. I didn't believe in hormone therapy but moved forward with treatment because I was desperate to get back to "my old self". Within a month of receiving my pellets I felt a notable difference in my mood and energy levels and within three months I started losing the weight I had gained over the past year. Now, I am a HUGE proponent of the pellets and can attest that they work because nothing else changed in my life to relieve my symptoms. There are a lot of women out there suffering silently that don't have to. I highly recommend Dr. Rona Wadle at Renew my Wellness.

Call to schedule a consultation • HRT men and women • Low testosterone treatments • Prescription weight loss

Suffering from symptoms of: • Fatigue • Depression • Apathy • Anxiety • Weight gain • Decreased libido • Decreased muscle mass • Decreased exercise endurance

WE CAN HELP! 49 YEAR OLD MALE PATIENT NEIL SAYS: I have been on testosterone pellets for about a year. I was skeptical when I started the treatment, but I was struggling to lose weight and get my A1C under control without having to start insulin. As a result of the treatments, I have lost 25 lbs. without drastically altering my diet.

My A1C has come down from 9.1 to 7.4 without insulin. I also have more energy and I am more active with everyday tasks.

The treatments also increased my libido. I would recommend the treatment to anyone who is feeling lethargic or having a hard time losing weight.

West Maple Elementary receives award for school library

BIRMINGHAM — West Maple Elementary School has recently been named the 2023 National School Library of the Year by the American Association of School Librarians. Since the award was established in 1963, only two other Michigan school districts have ever won the prestigious honor.

A prize of $10,000 was awarded to West Maple Elementary.

“This is outstanding news to be named a national school winner,” BPS Superintendent Embekka Roberson said in a press release. “We are so proud of the tremendous work, time and effort the administration and staff at West Maple has put forward to earn this amazing recognition. Principal Jason Pesamoska and resident librarian Carrie Betts, along with countless others, are innovators who are always striving for greatness for our students and community, daily – this honor exemplifies it.”

In order to apply, West Maple Elementary completed an extension application, a digital library portfolio, virtual interviews and an in-person visit by the committee chairs. Libraries are chosen that demonstrate the American Association of School Librarians’ national school library standards: inquire, include, collaborate, curate, explore and engage.

SENIOR MEN’S CLUB OF BIRMINGHAM INTRODUCES MAY SPEAKERS BIRMINGHAM — Each month, the Senior Men’s Club of Birmingham hosts speakers at the Friday luncheon at the Iroquois Club.

Andrew D. Breidenich, the security director of Somerset Collection, will begin the month on May 5 by presenting “providing first-rate security to residential and commercial properties.”

The next presentation will be on May 12 as Leigh Ann Winowiecki, a global research leader of World Agroforestry, will present “advances in soil and land health monitoring to track agricultural interventions across sub-Saharan Africa.”

On May 19, Tina Langley, a diplomat at Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky, will present “history of spirits, brand heritage, production, and customer service.”

There will be no meeting May 26 because of Memorial Day weekend.

CRANBROOK ON THE GREEN RETURNS WITH TWO NEW ADDITIONS BLOOMFIELD HILLS — For the second year, Cranbrook Art Museum is holding Cranbrook on the Green, opening May 24.

Cranbrook on the Green is an artist-designed miniature golf course that will be open through Sept. 3.

Members of the Cranbrook community submitted hole designs inspired by a Cranbrook site, story or alumni. Submissions were selected by a blind jury. This year, two new holes have been added to the course.

One of the new holes was created by Cranbrook Academy of Art student Katie Mongoven. This hole was inspired by the windows of the Cranbrook Dining Hall on the Cranbrook campus of Cranbrook Kingswood Upper School.

The other new hole was created by sister duo Priscilla and Gabriela Lloyd. They currently work as part of the exhibition team at Cranbrook Institute of Science. Their creation was inspired by Cranbrook’s Greek Theatre.

Cranbrook on the Green costs $15 for adults, $10 for ArtMembers and Detroit residents, and $8 for children under 12.

Gallery admission is included with registration.

As a new addition this season, a cash bar will serve wine and beer for guests playing on the course every Thursday.

Touch A Truck with Birmingham Youth Assistance May 20 BIRMINGHAM — Birmingham Youth Assistance will hold a Touch A Truck event 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, May 20.

Fire trucks, police vehicles, construction vehicles and more will be available to give the community a hands-on experience at Bingham Farms Elementary School.

Local children will have the opportunity to experience what it is like to be up close to the big trucks they see on the road every day. Birmingham Youth Assistance partnered with local municipalities, private companies and individuals to make this event happen for the community.

‘Most people just love it’ MOTHERDAUGHTER BUSINESSES REFLECT FAMILYFIRST MENTALITY TOWARDS CUSTOMERS

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Warm and comfortable environments are what attract customers to come back and even make the customer feel like they’re conversing with a friend.

The businesses that tend to bring that feeling out of customers are traditionally small businesses, and as Mother’s Day approaches, the focus shifts towards mothers and daughters who have not only created a strong bond between each other, but also through their customers and soon-to-be friends through their businesses.

Fox and Hounds Pastry Den

From a simple walk inside Fox and Hounds Pastry Den, it’s no surprise to anyone why their clientele consists of a substantial number of regulars.

Aside from the soothing music of Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé you may hear in the background, both Monica Nacianceno and daughter Monica Guzman said they are always prepared to converse with any customer who comes through the door.

“I wanted it to be a place where they’re going to walk in and they’re going to feel warm, and I wanted it to feel cozy,” Nacian-

ceno said. “When I’m on the other side right there or I’m in the back and I come up front and I hear people talking and I hear someone say, ‘God, this place is so cozy,’ when I hear that word, that’s my keyword.”

Nacianceno and Guzman opened up the pastry shop, which is known for its buttercream, in 2016, and modeled the black and gold interior after the iconic Fox and Hounds Pastry Den in Bloomfield Hills, which closed its doors in 2007.

Guzman said the store was always in the cards for the ladies.

“We always talked about opening something,” Guzman said. “It was always the plan.”

Nacianceno has always had the mind of a baker, and she has her mother, who always baked her homemade treats as a child, to thank for that.

After opening her own small dessert company in 2005, Nacianceno was in need of all hands on deck with every delivery.

Sharing that love and passion with her daughter, it wasn’t a surprise to Nacianceno that Guzman was up early during the weekend to help her mother with dessert deliveries.

Shop local for transitional designs, modern trends at Area Rug Co. The right area rug can be a design anchor and Tina Smart, owner of downtown Birmingham’s Area Rug Co., knows how important it is to shop for it in person.

“I’ve always loved decorating my own spaces and I feel area rugs play such an important role in defining the space.”

Smart said. “It really ties in all the elements in a space and finding that perfect rug is a real passion of mine.”

Her family has a history in the area rug business in Ontario, Canada. After she got married and moved to Michigan, the birth of her daughter inspired Smart to start a local, woman owned small business that has recently received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Great Lakes Women’s Business Council, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

“It’s mostly a trendy, modern collection, with easy care and low maintenance,” she said of the wares on display at the shop on Maple Road, west of Woodward Avenue.

Smart hand selects the rugs herself and works directly with the manufacturers. Rugs are available to see in the shop, where they’re displayed off the floor for easy browsing.

“It’s a fun way to look at the selection in the shop,” Smart said. “I have an online store as well but I feel like there is a need for people to have a place where they can come into the shop and they can actually feel and touch a product.

“Rugs and other textiles are so important to try out in your space and I offer the opportunity to do that,” Smart said. “It’s something you should really see in person.”

Smart was drawn to the environment of downtown Birmingham since she has always enjoyed shopping at small, locally owned businesses. She said that when customers come in, they will experience unrivaled service and attention to their own specific design needs.

“There are so many options to choose from at Area Rug Co,” Smart said. “When I shop for the store, I hand select from different designs, textures and sizes. I love picking out rugs and offering my customers a large selection to choose from. They can choose from thousands of rugs in my downtown

Birmingham showroom that can be introduced into their home the same day but at the same time, I also have the ability to custom order certain rugs in unique, non-traditional sizes to complete their space as well.”

“Even though this is my first store that I have opened in Birmingham, I’m definitely not new to the rug industry and I’ve always been inspired to open my own shop,” Smart said. “I give my full attention to the customers. Whatever their needs are, I’m here to help. Let’s decorate!”

In addition to area rugs, Smart said she plans to offer some smaller, design accent pieces to the shop’s inventory.

To begin the journey toward finding the perfect area rugs for your home or any space, visit Area Rug Co. at 202 E. Maple Road, Birmingham, or call the shop at (248) 480-0715. You’ll also find them on Facebook and Instagram @arearugco, and online at www.arearugco.com.

Quenlyn Watkins began her career as a hairdresser in 1982 and opened her own salon — Quenlyn & Company Salon and Spa, in Bloomfield Hills — in 1995. While the hairstyles and salon services have changed over the years, the salon’s commitments to quality and customer service for clients of all ages have not.

“I think we have a really relaxed atmosphere here. It’s very laid-back. Everyone is very friendly and willing to help,” Watkins said. “We work as a team. The feeling is, it’s just a family and you can sit down with anybody here and feel comfortable.”

Family is the theme on which the salon was built, and it goes beyond the family-friendly atmosphere. Quenlyn & Company provides salon services for all ages, from infant haircuts to hairdressing for seniors.

Watkins started the business when she was pregnant with her second child, and she credited

her own family’s support for the salon’s survival and success.

“I was lucky. I had a really good support group,” Watkins said. “I had my in-laws, and my sister who helped me. My husband is a teacher who had summers off. My kids grew up in the salon.

Without my family helping me, it would have been really hard. I was one of the fortunate people who had a close family base of people who could help me navigate having a business, a career, and two little kids.”

Quenlyn & Company provides a full range of

hair and nail services including cuts, color and styling, blow drying, perms, manicures and pedicures, skin treatments and waxing. The staff is happy to meet walk-in customers and is always accepting new clients looking to build a lasting relationship with a stress-free salon.

For more information, stop by the salon at 3644 W. Maple Road, on the northeast corner of Maple and Lahser roads, in the Village Knoll Shopping Center. To schedule an appointment call (248) 6422666 or (248) 642-2667.

the morning, because that’s when we’d start putting together some of the little minis, you know, some of the desserts,” Nacianceno said. “We did a lot of them for weddings, because a wedding is when you can bring your desserts in. You can’t take food in there, but you can bring the cake, so we’d usually start in the morning, and she would get up. It was pretty cool that she didn’t mind getting up and that she was into it. She’d get up, and we had our own thing, and we had it down really well.”

With delicious cupcakes, macaroons and other various treats, Fox and Hounds Pastry Den’s greatest treat is the bond between Guzman, Nacianceno and their customers.

As for Guzman and Nacianceno’s work relationship, it’s as strong as can be.

“It’s been good,” Nacianceno said.

“We’re not always going to agree — I tell you that. We don’t always agree, but we always come up with a compromise. She thinks I work too much, so we don’t agree on that.”

far beyond retail, mother Jill and daughter Katie Oleski’s relationship has led to a successful, community-minded boutique store.

They support various foundations focused on domestic violence, Alzheimer’s disease and garden clubs, and they offer donations of their customer’s choice via their private parties at the store.

“I don’t ever want to give that up, because that’s our ground on how we started,”

Jill Oleski said. “It’s taxing in that we’re running around like cuckoos all the time, but it’s important.”

When they’re not traveling around the midwest doing events for different organizations, Jill and Katie are continuing to build family-like relationships with their customers.

While retail may not have been in the plans for Katie, who went to medical school at Michigan State University, she and her

mother possessed a passion for something that would forever be a part of their lives.

“I realized (medicine) wasn’t for me, and I missed people and retail,” Katie Oleski said. “When I decided to do that and I came home, because she was just doing all the local charity events by herself and with my dad too, and then when I decided I was going to give up med school, then we were like, ‘Well, let’s open a store.’”

A few years later, Just Girls Women’s Boutique has captivated the Bloomfield Hills community with their impressive collection of women’s wear for all ages and with a warm and friendly atmosphere as well.

Like most successful teams, Jill and Katie fill in the blanks for each other’s strengths and weaknesses.

“My mom is definitely the visionary, so my mom is always, since I was a young age, she’s always been very artistic,” Katie Oleski said. “It’s funny because she put me through Cranbrook, and I can’t even draw a stick figure; it’s really bad. She used to do my art homework. She’s very visual, and I’m very much organized — everything has to be perfect and a certain way. I like things done very meticulously, and my mom comes in and is the visionary. She’ll do one thing, and I’ll circle back and fix it a certain way.”

Scandia Home

Appointed the “girlfriend store” by both its customers and owner Christine Jackson, Scandia Home in Birmingham — which has been open for 13 years — has a different dynamic than most businesses. As opposed to the traditional mother-daughter dynamic, Jackson will be the first one to tell you that she’s blessed to work with two of her daughters, Mariah and Danielle Schindler.

“It’s so fun, because people will be in

the store and they’ll hear someone go ‘mom,’ and they’re like, ‘What? You guys are mother and daughters and you work together?’”

Jackson said. “Most people just love it. It’s really fun.”

A warm and comfortable atmosphere for any customer looking to improve their bedding and pillow decor, Scandia Home has the feeling of a traditional small business mixed with the feeling of walking into a friend’s house.

It’s the “girlfriend store” because customers-turned friends will swing by the store just to chat with the family.

sesses an at-home feeling.

“We have a lot of fun,” Schindler said.

“There’s not a lot of difference between our personal lives and professional lives. It’s like a second home in some ways.”

Like their personal lives, Jackson and her daughters are not afraid to joke with each other any chance they get based on their styles; each of the three will buy for the store, so designs of all areas are showcased.

“I think one of the coolest things is how eclectic it is in here,” Mariah Schindler said.

“All three of us do some buying, so you can kind of see everyone’s personality throughout the store. We make fun of each other’s

tastes, but it’s also very much in fun. We know there’s a customer for everything we pick, but we just poke fun at each other.”

At the end of the day, it’s family over everything for them, especially Mariah and Danielle, who shared a bedroom growing up in a family of five children.

Mariah and Danielle’s time outside of work is also spent together.

“We work out together every morning.

I’m at her house tons of nights a week for dinner. Our kids are really close,” Mariah Schindler said. “We spend tons of time together.”

Jazz

from page 4A

In the jazz world, Bills explained that musicians are trained individually to be wellrounded enough to be able to operate on a pickup setup. Bills said they “speak a common language of the music,” so they are able to play a high-quality performance with musicians they have never met before.

Last year the featured artists included a range of musicians such as horn players, a pianist and an organist.

Prior to beginning the series, Bills had his eye on the Beverly Park Pavilion, which he thought would be a great place to hold a concert series. Since he has family who live near the park, he is familiar with the area.

What he especially likes about the location of the event is the protection provided by the pavilion, allowing for concerts to still

occur when it is raining.

Bills said it has been really exciting to be a part of an established event in the community each summer. He said they have had a very engaged audience in the past and hope to have a similar experience this summer.

“The audience is as much a part of the band as the musicians sometimes. The energy and the love that we get from the community and the people that attend this concert series is as much a part of why it is so rewarding for us to do it,” Bills said.

At Java and Jazz, the band performs two sets that are about an hour and 15 minutes long each, with a short break in the middle.

Audience members are welcome to stay for the whole concert or drop by when they are available.

Dates of Java and Jazz are May 21, June 18, July 16, Aug. 20, Sept. 17 and Oct. 15.

not been a show since the pandemic, but they are hoping to begin again in 2024.

Tupper is an instructor of the Tuskegee Airmen National Historical Museum in Detroit. Through the museum, Tupper helps train underrepresented youth to become career pilots.

He said he plans to renew his NAFI Master Flight Instructor accreditation once it expires in two years.

“I am a fan of demonstrating your abilities by objective tests and doing it frequently,” Tupper said.

If anyone is interested in aviation, Tupper said he encourages them to visit a flight school and ask for a discovery flight, which will give a taste of what flying is like.

“If you are curious, don’t wait, go get a discovery flight,” Tupper said.

tion lasts for two years before it has to be renewed.

“We don’t look at it as the number being something inadequate. We look at it as it’s so selective that there aren’t that many that can actually get approved by it,” Niehaus said.

Tupper started flying in 2001, and he became an instructor in 2015, around the time his son was reaching the age where he could solo a glider.

He said he did not start working towards this accreditation until a few years ago, when he realized he was not far from the required instruction hours. Tupper submitted his application with 1,002 hours logged.

Tupper said it feels good to be recognized for the hard work he has put into his application, especially the 1,000 hours requirement, which he said was typically logged in hour or hour-and-a-half increments.

“That really is a commitment over a lot of years, especially when you don’t do it full time,” Tupper said.

In addition to all of his involvement in the aviation community, Tupper is a full-

time attorney.

Tupper holds and has held several titles and positions in the aviation community.

Currently, he is a CFI in gliders and singleengine airplanes with an instrument airplane rating, a Civil Air Patrol lieutenant colonel, and a check pilot examiner and mission check pilot examiner.

In his position with the Civil Air Patrol, he trains and evaluates pilots and other aircrew in search-and-rescue and other related missions.

For several years, he was the director of the Civil Air Patrol glider program in the Michigan Wing. He has also served as a cadre for its Mission Aircrew School at the National Emergency Services Academy.

Tupper is a judge advocate and on the Civil Air Patrol’s national headquarters operations staff as an aviation-advisor and is one of their primary aviation counsel.

He is involved with air shows in the region. In particular, Tupper is the originator of the Tuskegee Airmen Detroit River Days Airshow. His leadership in this is what met NAFI’s requirement of involvement in the aviation community.

The Tuskegee Airmen Detroit River Days Airshow received its first waiver in 2013 and held shows until 2019. There has

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — Two women who were banned from entering Michigan because of previous criminal activity were reportedly caught stealing from a store in Bloomfield Township.

Bloomfield Township police were dispatched to a store in the 2100 block of South Telegraph Road for a retail fraud that had just occurred April 17.

According to reports, the two women — later identified as Kiara Bannister and Canedra Barabino — are accused of stealing candles from the store and fleeing the shopping plaza in a silver Nissan.

When officers stopped the vehicle, they observed “a plethora of Bath and Body Works candles scattered throughout the vehicle” and recovered over $1,600 worth of stolen candles during a vehicle search.

Bannister, 24, was arrested and charged with organized retail crime and first-degree retail fraud, both felonies. Barabino, 24, was charged with organized retail fraud and mis-

Both had a prior conviction in 44th District Court in Royal Oak for felony organized retail fraud, and they had a probation order in Livingston County prohibiting them from entering the state of Michigan.

Both women posted $5,000 cash/surety bonds and were scheduled to appear in court May 9 for a preliminary exam.

Bannister did not have an attorney on file at press time. Barabino’s attorney, Michael P. Dean, could not be reached for comment.

Michigan Panthers homecoming silenced by Generals in 28-13 loss

BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

DETROIT — The day had all the makings of a beautiful homecoming for the Michigan Panthers as they took the field April 30 against the New Jersey Generals at Ford Field.

The current Panthers had a perfect 2-0 record. The Ford Field scoreboard showed video highlights of the Panthers’ 1983 USFL championship. Panthers cheerleaders from the 1983 season were present, as was former Panthers quarterback Bobby Hebert. World Wrestling Entertainment superstar Big E was electric on the mic as the team’s emcee, working the crowd to perfection.

The Panthers’ faithful were ready for their squad.

Then the Generals offense exploded onto the scene with a quick 14-3 lead with six minutes still left in the first quarter, and the Generals went on to a 28-13 win over the Panthers.

The Michigan Panthers fans made a good impression.

“I thought they were awesome; I really did,” Panthers head coach Mike Nolan said.

“There were a bunch of people out there, and to be perfectly frank with you, that’s one of the disappointments I had, was not to have a better showing for the people that were here, because we’re a much better football team than that.”

Although Panthers fans didn’t have much to cheer for in the first half, they weren’t afraid to show off their impressive dance moves on the jumbotron or, a crowd favorite, the Simba Cam where fans do their best impersonation of “The Lion King” with their child or friend.

From a statistical standpoint, one would think the Panthers offense would have had a better showing offensively, totaling 22 more plays than the Generals and 11 more minutes of offensive possession, but the Panthers had no answer for the Generals’ big-play ability.

Averaging 12 yards per passing attempt and just over 7 yards per carry en route to 377 total yards, the Generals offense had the Panthers guessing throughout the game.

“When it got right down to it, we gave up another big play in the second half, which I think sealed the win for them,” Nolan said.

“In things that stood out, I think we’re disappointed more so with the explosive plays they got on us. In particular, in the first quarter, I think we were down by 21 points there pretty quick.”

After the Panthers opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal from Cole Murphy, Generals quarterback De’Andre Johnson showed off his dual-threat ability, finding running back Darius Victor on a screen pass for a 51-yard touchdown and rushing for a 9-yard touchdown to take the early 14-3 lead.

Victor finished with 119 total yards and two See PANTHERS on page 24A

be constructed from Lincoln Street to the existing safety path in Bloomfield Township, just south of Middlebury Lane.

On the east side of Cranbrook Road, there will be a 10-foot-wide path from Lincoln to Midvale and a 5-foot-wide path from Northlawn Boulevard to Lincoln Street.

The estimated cost of the project is $1,418,645. It is partially funded by a Transportation Alternatives Program grant, which amounts to $1,116,755.

“This closes one of the areas that is a sidewalk gap where there’s currently not a way to be able to walk or bike in, so it will improve the connectivity of areas that were missing in that location and be able to expand the sidewalks system,” Birmingham City Engineer Melissa Coatta said.

This project will fill several sidewalk gaps in Birmingham, making it easier to walk to areas such as Lincoln Hills Golf Course, the Birmingham Bloomfield Public Arts Center and Ernest W. Seaholm High School.

“Birmingham is known for being a walkable community, and it is hard to be a walkable community if you don’t have a pathway that connects everyone,” Birmingham Department of Public Services Director Scott Zielinski said.

Project background

In 2019, the Road Commission for Oakland County went to the city of Birmingham with their plans to resurface Cranbrook Road in 2020. During this period of time, the city discussed multimodal improvements along Cranbrook, which were outlined in Birmingham’s 2013 multimodal plan.

These multimodal options were presented to the Multi-Modal Transportation

Board in 2019, who recommended that the Road Commission pursue certain elements of the plan.

The road resurfacing project was eventually completed by the Road Commission in 2021. This project included restriping the road between Lincoln Street and Maple Road as a three-lane road rather than a four-lane designation. This allowed for extra space in the roadway and improved bicyclists’ safety.

One element of the project that the Multi-Modal Transportation Board recommended but the Road Commission did not carry out was adding non-motorized improvements along Cranbrook Road, Lincoln Street and 14 Mile Road.

As a separate project, the MultiModal Transportation Board recommended pursuing funding through MDOT’s Transportation Alternatives Program. The city was awarded a TAP grant in March 2020.

Following that there were some delays in the design process due to the pandemic and ownership issues. Construction of the shared-use path was also delayed due to other construction projects being pushed back.

Due to these delays, the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments and MDOT shifted the TAP funding for this project to 2022.

At a City Commission meeting May 23, the commission certified that non-federal matching funds had been secured for use in constructing the project, and they approved proposed compensation for temporary and permanent easements required for the project.

Since this approval, the city has been finalizing plans and working out any conflicts before construction starts.

“This project has been a long time coming, and we are happy we are finally able to get it completed, since we’ve got these funds available,” Zielinski said.

“People on the business loop are at 70 mph, and then you have this ramp traffic trying to merge all the way over to the left to go on northbound 75, and they are doing 50 mph at the most,” Swanson said.

For a safe weaving movement, MDOT’s standards say there should be a minimum weaving distance of 1,000 feet, but the existing weaving distance in that location is approximately half of what it should be, Swanson noted.

“The volume of traffic that uses that ramp is also pretty low, so we were thinking maybe we could just remove it — there’s ramps down at Adams and M-59 — but when we went to get some public comments and see what people were thinking, it did not go over well,” she said.

Bloomfield Township Supervisor Dani Walsh said hundreds of residents, along with township and state officials, showed up to MDOT’s Feb. 27 public meeting on the project to object to the removal of the ramp.

“People were livid,” Walsh said. “People left, right, center, everybody wants better roads, so if something is going to make our roads worse, they are going to come out in force and tell you to stop.”

Business owners shared how the ramp removal would negatively impact their business, community members argued it would increase traffic in their neighborhoods, and both Bloomfield Township Police Chief James Gallagher and Fire Chief John LeRoy expressed their concerns about the increased response times to incidents and proposed routes that would take public safety 2 miles out of the township’s jurisdiction to get to the highway.

“I said, ‘you may see a tiny little ramp, but this is a major feed for public safety to get access in the area, for buses and for all of the people that moved to that area because of the quick access onto the expressway,” Walsh explained. “We also have new commercial buildings going up in our neighboring communities that are going to bring more traffic to that ramp, and you cannot put that onto our main roads — because a lot of the detour was aiming toward Square Lake, doing large truck u-turns on those Michigan lefts, which of course, Square Lake is already a pretty big delayed area, so we didn’t want to add more trucks because

then my public safety would have an even harder time getting to accidents or issues in the area.”

Since then, MDOT has decided to keep the ramp, opting instead to shift it a bit west, according to Swanson.

“People had thought we had already made up our minds that we were going to do this, but we were going out for public comment to find out what the thoughts were, and if they didn’t like it, we would take it back and do exactly what we did and put our thinking caps back on and see how we could make it work. That is what we did.”

The new plan is for MDOT to shift two ramps — the ramp from Square Lake to the I-75 business loop, as well as the ramp from the I-75 business loop to Square Lake — west toward Opdyke to get the optimal 1,000 feet of weave distance under MDOT’s standards.

“All the same movements will be there, they will just be shifted slightly to the west, so, hopefully, everyone will be happy and it will improve the safety out there,” Swanson said.

The project also includes replacing the pavement, and improving storm sewers, the ramp at the Opdyke Road interchange and safety.

Officials said the change in plans will cost MDOT an extra $2 million-$3 million.

“We were able to juggle some things and make it work on our end,” Swanson explained.

MDOT officials said the project is slated to go out for bid in October and construction will likely start in March of 2024.

“Construction will just be one season, so we will be done by November of 2024,” said Swanson.

Walsh said the collaboration shows how residents, municipal leaders, legislators and organizations can work together to make a difference.

“When we do get together to work, we are working together to find a better solution,” she said. “I don’t think MDOT gets enough credit for that. While we are always frustrated when things catch us off guard, the nice thing is they will work with you, and I appreciate that. … They really have stepped up to work with us.”

For more information on the project, call MDOT at (517) 335-4381 or Bloomfield Township at (248) 433-7700.

PRESENTATION OFFERS TIPS TO CREATE A DARK, MOODY ROOM

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When a friend recently visited Heather Vercellino’s historic home in Detroit, she told her she felt like the living room was giving her a hug.

“What better comfort than to have that in your home?” Vercellino said.

On April 14, Vercellino, owner of Verce Design, which has a showroom at the Michigan Design Center in Troy, presented the program “How to Create a Dark and Moody Interior.”

For about an hour, Vercellino provided a number of tips regarding how to accent a dark-hued color palette to create drama and moodiness while still looking chic and cozy. About 30 people attended the event.

“The way I would describe a dark and moody interior is bringing in dark elements, bringing in bold accents. Don’t be afraid to go big,” Vercellino said. “It becomes a feature. One of my favorite inspirations I pull from is the old, European architecture. It’s just the craftsmanship is so beautiful.”

There are so many different ways to decorate a dark room, but sometimes people don’t explore all their options.

“Oftentimes when we are thinking about a space, we tend to put all of our focus on the floor, you know, the functional elements, our sofa, coffee table, our rugs, our accent table,” Vercellino said. “We’ll put everything that has weight on the floor and what you’ll find is the middle almost feels forgotten about. We tend to put some art on the walls and call it a day.

That’s not what we want. We want to make sure we don’t forget about the middle of the room.”

Vercellino showed a PowerPoint presentation that featured some of her favorite designers, including Heidi Caillier Design.

touchdowns on the day.

Johnson, who had 10 carries for 98 yards, had a 71-yard run to set up his rushing touchdown.

As the Panthers offense stalled, the Generals offense continued to pound the run game as Victor made a 35-yard house call to give the Generals a 21-3 lead.

The Panthers offense finally found life as former Nevada Wolfpack and Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Carson Strong took over in place of Panthers quarterback Josh Love, leading the Panthers on an 81-yard drive capped off by a pass to wide receiver Trey Quinn for a 28-yard touchdown to pull within 11 points.

From there, the Panthers offense stalled as Love, who played college football at San Jose State University, took over in the second half again, tallying only a 30-yard field goal in the loss as the offense totaled 265 total yards.

“I think they obviously had a good game plan coming in against us, but we just can’t shoot ourselves in the foot,” Love said.

“We got to go out there and do our jobs. We need to go out there with whatever play call we have and compete and get the job done.”

The Panthers made it interesting as the Murphy field goal pulled the team within eight of the Generals late in the third, and a fumble recovery by the Panthers made it seem like all momentum had swayed in their favor.

That was until a pair of penalties had the Panthers staring down a third and 20 at midfield, and to Love’s credit, he went for the first down before being picked off by Generals defensive back D.J. Daniel.

One play later, Johnson connected with wide receiver Alonzo Moore on the right sideline for a 72-yard touchdown pass after a double move by Moore left him with nothing but daylight.

“When we punted, obviously it was still an 8-point game, but the double move on the outside for the long pass, and that’s when they went up by 13, that’s when I thought the game changed,” Nolan said. “There was probably still a half a quarter left at that time, but I really thought, prior to that play, that we were in it.”

The Generals jumped over the Panthers in the division standings with the win, improving to 2-1 on the year and moving into first place in the North Division.

The Panthers currently hold the secondplace spot in the division and will look to rebound May 6 when they host the Memphis Showboats at Ford Field at 7:30 p.m.

Every room needs balance, according to Vercellino.

“Balance is an artwork. I don’t care whether you’re painting, doing design, architecture or sculpture, balance is crucial when designing a space,” she said. “Balance is the distribution of weight, objects, color, texture and space.

And don’t forget about the ceiling.

“In a design room, we call the ceiling the fifth wall,” Vercellino said. “Sometimes we forget about the fifth wall.”

If you want to paint it a dark color, go for it.

“Take a risk,” Vercellino encouraged.

“If you’re going to make your ceiling dark, make sure you have (lighting).”

The designer continued talking about lighting options.

“A lot of people, especially in older homes, are trending toward using really small, profile flex mount light fixtures as opposed to can lights, just to kind of cherish the historic elements of the home,” Vercellino said. “We’ve got some unique flex mount (ceiling lights) that just draw your eye in a little more.”

Adding floor or table lamps or a sconce to a dark room is another way to accent a space.

“If you’ve got a picture on the wall, put a sconce behind it,” Vercellino said. “You can do some that are hard-wired, and they also have Bluetooth lightbulbs. Floor mirrors are another source of light in the room.”

Depending on the architectural style of the room, crown molding and wood beams might be a good contrast against a room with dark-colored walls.

“Bring in natural elements, bring in the natural tones, different stones,” Vercellino said. “If you’ve got a black wall, put up a nice 4 foot by 5 foot piece of artwork. That black wall is going to let the artwork speak for itself.

“We tend to feel this need to push all the furniture to the sides,” Vercellino said.

“Bring it together to create intimate areas.

Maybe there are multiple areas throughout the room for conversation and community.”

Macomb Township resident Kathleen Yarema was among the attendees who learned several valuable tips during the presentation.

“I was curious about dark, moody rooms because of a bathroom I am working on,” Yarema said. “I like how she said, ‘It’s your house — do what you want.’ That’s

how I’ve always felt. If I see something I like, I buy it. It works for me.”

Yarema has stayed up all hours of the night to finish a home project.

“I’ve always got a project because my mind doesn’t stop,” she said.

Other presentations are in the works at the MDC. On May 19, the center will hold the event Launch! Tour: “Wallcoverings — An Easy Transformation.” The event will begin at 10 a.m. and will feature designer Armina Kasprowicz from Armina Interiors.

Guests will learn how to transform a

room in one bold move: the wallcovering.

Kasprowicz will guide attendees through several MDC showrooms and discuss what to consider when picking out wallcoverings.

If interested in attending the tour, contact Emily McDonald by May 17 at emc donald@michigandesign.com or call (248) 649-4772 to reserve your place. The tours are complimentary, but space is limited. Attendees are asked to arrive by 9:55 a.m. in MDC’s main lobby.

The MDC is located at 1700 Stutz Drive in Troy. For more information, visit www.michigandesign.com.
