teachers, students to rock out for a cause
Downtown Rochester Farmers’ Market to open May 3 in a new location
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
ROCHESTER — Saturdays in Rochester will be bustling once again as the 26th season of the Downtown Rochester Farmers’ Market comes to town.
Kicking off May 3, the market will bring fresh fruit, plants and vegetables to the city this season, in a new, temporary location.
This year, the market is relocating to make room for the construction of The Market + The Graham — the city’s year-round farmers market. The reimagined space will include a performance stage, expanded indoor/ outdoor market spaces, ADA accessibility, restrooms, seating and landscaping. Construction will begin this spring and will be completed this year.
“We are pursuing our Market + The Graham project currently, so we are — in the near

Tollway text message scam on the rise
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
ROCHESTER — 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 to unsuspecting drivers soliciting payment for traveling certain roads.
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 stateowned 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.
“It’s very common, and actually, I think it’s going around nationally,” Rochester Police Department Chief George Rouhib said.
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
The Downtown Rochester Farmers’ Market will open May 3. The market will feature over 50 vendors.

West Middle School teachers, students to rock out for a cause
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
ROCHESTER — Staff musicians and students from West Middle School are coming together to spread joy through melody, while fighting against childhood cancer.
A group of staff members from West have played at various school functions over the years. The band, called Lessons in Rock, includes Brian Dalton and Brian Trudeau on guitar, Justin Carmichael on drums, Keenan Thomason on bass, and Dave Beaulac and Dustin Coleman on vocals.
Lesson in Rock — along with guest student performers — is hosting a rock show called “A Melody of Hope,” from 7-9 p.m. May 7 at The Roxy in downtown Rochester. The concert benefits the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a nonprofit that raises funds for childhood cancer research.
The idea for the benefit concert came about organically during an English language arts class, according to teacher Brian Dalton.
“The students and I were discussing how we can make the world a better place. I said, ‘It sounds daunting and way too big,’ and they agreed. I said, ‘Well, it doesn’t have to be. Start with who you see in the mirror and take it from there,’” Dalton explained.
The students brainstormed how they could make someone’s life,

or lives, just a little bit better. And that led to the class talking about cancer, which has affected Dalton’s family and many others in the West community.
Dalton says he often incorporates music into his classroom, and the students thought that performing a rock concert to benefit the St. Baldrick’s Foundation was a perfect fit.
“Music brings people together better than anything else,” Dalton said.
Dalton suggested the students come up with a playlist of uplifting songs for the band to perform.
“I asked for songs that deal with hope, inspiration, determination, grit, so we made a playlist on Spotify and they voted for them, so the students picked the set list,” he said. “Whatever students I have in front of me, I get them for a year, so I want it to be impactful and memorable because I owe that to them.”
The songs — which all thematically connect with hope and strength in the face of adversity — include: “Here Comes the Sun,” by The Beatles; “Yellow,” by Coldplay; “Don’t Stop Believing,” by Journey; “You’re My Best Friend,” by Queen; and “I Won’t Back Down,” by Tom Petty.
Students also created mosaics with up-
lifting messages to send to some of the children supported by the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
West Principal Lisa Fosnaugh said all the teachers at West are great at encouraging student voice and choice.
“They really try to let our kids think outside the box, create and explore,” she said.
Many students have volunteered to perform alongside the band.
“Some sing, some play bass, some play drums, some play the violin, and we incorporated them as best we could into the songs the kids picked,” Dalton shared.
The students set a goal to sell around 100 tickets and raise $1,000 for the cause, which they quickly surpassed. At press time, the Melody of Hope concert was close to hitting the 500-ticket maximum and organizers had raised over $3,000 for the St. Baldrick’s Foundation.
“What’s important to us is celebrating these kids with cancer that deserve to be celebrated, and also celebrating these students I see every day in our school and what they are capable of doing, because they are capable of incredible things,” Dalton added.

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 predominantly male.
“It was hard in the beginning. I would call places to try to get hired. They would say no because I’m a woman; I’m a liability. It was really hard to get my foot in the door back then,” Longenbarger said.
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

future — entering the full stages of construction for that project, so out of convenience for our shoppers and our vendors we’ve relocated the market for this season,” said Downtown Development Authority Marketing Coordinator Taylor Knuth.
While construction is underway, the 2025 market will be held on the upper level of the east parking platform, at the corner of Fourth and East, for the duration of the 2025 market season — which runs from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday, May 3 through Oct. 25.
Patrons can enjoy a wide variety of Michigan-grown or made products at the market — including vegetables, fruits, freshcut flowers, herbs, baked goods, gnocchi, jams and jellies, honey, tea blends, locally roasted coffee, as well as various local purveyors of products, including eggs, beef, and chicken.
“Our farmers’ market really focuses on food and farm products, so we really pride ourselves in being able to offer a space for small food entrepreneurs and farmers to connect with our community,” said Knuth.
Along with the old favorites, some new vendors will participate in the market this year, including Nordic Knife Sharpening, Black Ichor Coffee, Domenico’s 100% Italia Virgin Olive Oil, Yummification cookies, Brick House Kitchen, Side Dish, Kumaran Farms and The Flower Project.
Michael Fraley, who co-owns The Flower Project with Brett Grant, said they are happy to be joining the Downtown
Rochester Farmers’ Market this year.
The Flower Project is an urban flower farm, based out of Ferndale, that grows flowers for bouquets, events, weddings and more.
“We’ve always heard good things from other vendors about the Rochester Farmers’ Market and how great the community is,” Fraley said.
The Flower Project plans to bring freshly-cut flowers, potted plants and more to the market.
“We have a big variety of flowers. We kind of follow the Michigan growing season, so we will begin with tulips, daffodils, and maybe some anemone,” Fraley added.
As always, Knuth said she is expecting great crowds at the Farmers’ Market this year — especially for the opening May 3.
This year’s opening-day festivities will include free canvas tote bags filled with special offers from downtown merchants for the first 500 adult customers, as well as live music and free face painting. There will also be a chance to win gift certificates donated by downtown Rochester merchants.
The Downtown Rochester Farmers’ Market is presented by Henry Ford Health.

CRIME WATCH
Man with warrants arrested
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies patrolling the area of Crooks Road and M-59 observed a male subject, known to them to have warrants for his arrest, walking at 8:44 a.m. April 8. The subject walked to and entered a gas station in the 2200 block of Crooks Road. Deputies entered the gas station and located the subject in the bathroom. The subject was arrested.
Deputies confirmed the subject had a valid criminal bench warrant out of the 6th Circuit Court for failure to comply with an ERPO (Extreme Risk Protection Order). The subject also had two pending warrants for his arrest for larceny in a building and credit card fraud. The subject, a 40-year-old man from Rochester Hills, was arrested and lodged at the Oakland County Jail.
Police investigate potential school threat on sticky notes
ROCHESTER HILLS — A school resource officer responded to a school in the 400 block of Auburn Road on the report of a suspicious note at 10:27 a.m. April 8. The principal told the school resource officer that she walked into a classroom and a student randomly approached her with multiple sticky notes that said “read me” that the student had reportedly found. The notes began with having a crush on a student. Another reportedly said, “don’t tell anyone or I will shoot you.” The note that said, “I will shoot you,” referred to the student who handed the note to the principal. The school resource officer and principal interviewed the student, an 11-year-old female from Rochester Hills, who discovered the notes. At the conclusion of the interview, she was sent back to class. Upon returning to the class, she discovered another note that stated, “now that you told teachers, I am going to have to kill everyone in the school at 3 o’clock.” The school investigated the incident and later discovered that the student who wrote the notes was the student who handed the principal the notes. The student reportedly admitted to writing the notes and said she wrote them for attention. The student was suspended indefinitely. No weapons were found at the home.
Police investigate potential threat at middle school
ROCHESTER HILLS — The school resource officer was contacted by the principal of a middle school in the 1300 block of Adams Road regarding an OK2Say tip. Ac-
cording to reports, one student was alleged to have threatened to kill another student via email, stating if the victim didn’t stop texting him, he would bring a knife to school and kill him. The OK2Say tip also alleged a history of assaultive behavior and bullying toward the victim, a 12-year-old male from Rochester Hills, while at school.
Deputies responded to the victim’s residence and confirmed the information in the tip. Deputies went to the suspect’s residence, where they spoke with the suspect and his parents. The suspect denied being serious about wanting to cause harm to the victim. A voluntary residence check was conducted, and it was determined the suspect had no access to weapons. Neither the victim, nor his parents, wished to pursue charges. The suspect’s parents wanted the school to address the matter. The suspect, a 12-year-old male from Rochester Hills, and his parents were advised that per school administration, he was not to attend school the following day, pending the outcome of their investigation.
Broken circuit breaker causes smoke in school
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to an elementary school in the 1300 block of Mahaffy on the report of smoke in the building. School officials immediately evacuated all staff and students. Deputies, along with the Rochester Hills Fire Department, arrived on scene and began their investigation. The Fire Department located a broken circuit breaker that was the cause of the smoke. The building was rendered safe by the Rochester Hills Fire Department and classes resumed as normal.
Police nab drunk driver
ROCHESTER — Officers were dispatched to a parking structure for a subject having trouble driving April 12. Officers arrived on scene and located the vehicle and driver near the kiosk. Officers observed the driver trying to exit and spoke with her, observing signs of impairment. The driver failed field sobriety tests and was offered a preliminary breath test, which resulted in a 0.15% blood alcohol content. The driver was placed under arrest and transported to the Rochester Police Department. The driver was offered a chemical breath test, which resulted in a BAC of 0.19% blood alcohol content. The driver was lodged until sober and released with a citation.
Driver with suspended license caught on the road
ROCHESTER — An officer performing traffic enforcement in the area of University and Helen observed a black SUV travel-
ling eastbound with the driver holding their phone in their hand at approximately 1:50 p.m. April 21. The officer conducted a traffic stop and spoke with the driver. It was determined the driver had a suspended license and was placed under arrest. The driver was released with a citation.
Driver caught on the road with suspended license
ROCHESTER — An officer on patrol in the area of University and Pine observed a vehicle stopped at the stop sign at University and Walnut for an extended period of
time at approximately 11:55 p.m. April 24. The vehicle had dark tinted front windows. A traffic stop was conducted, and it was determined the driver had a suspended license. The driver was arrested. Officers conducted a search of the vehicle and an alcoholic beverage was located in the vehicle. The driver stated the beverage was someone else’s and showed no signs of impairment. A preliminary breath confirmed the statement was true, police said. The driver was arrested and released with a citation.

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.

DIA celebrates 16 years of Inside|Out
BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT —The Detroit Institute of Arts announced the Oakland County communities that are participating in the museum’s 2025 Inside|Out program.
The initiative brings reproductions from the DIA’s world-class collection to outdoor spaces across Oakland, Macomb, and Wayne counties. The program aims to make it easier for residents to engage with art in their everyday lives and inspire a visit to the museum, according to a press release from the DIA.
“We’re honored to bring Inside|Out to communities in southeastern Michigan and connect 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.

“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.
The Detroit Institute of Arts’ Inside|Out program is made possible by tri-county millage support and Ford Philanthropy, according to the release.
Vincent van Gogh’s “Portrait of Postman Roulin” will be on display in Waterford.
General admission to the DIA is free for residents of Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties.
