The general fund expenditures are set at $49.3 million.

The budget documents in full can be found at romi. gov/198/Budget-Documents and the City Commission’s review of the 2023-24 budget can be viewed as part of the May 22 meeting on the WROK Royal Oak YouTube page.

C & G NEWSPAPERS IS FEATURING STORIES ABOUT NORTHERN MICHIGAN DESTINATIONS FOR OUR READERS TO EXPLORE.

MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY ON MACKINAC ISLAND

S

BY GREG TASKER

pending a day on Mackinac Island is a rite of summer for many Michiganders.

But most of us, I’m betting, aren’t making the most of that day. We scurry off the ferries right into the heart of downtown Mackinac Island, rent a bicycle for the traditional loop around the island, and then spend a few hours searching for souvenirs and fudge. We might grab a drink or a meal before heading back to the dock.

While it’s always a fun outing, there’s so much more to

this Michigan gem than fudge, bicycles and horses. Most of the car-free island is a state park with miles of trails to hike and bike. It’s steeped in centuries of Native American, European and American history. And while Mackinac evokes images of being lost somewhere in time, there’s always something new to check out.

New this season, for example, are: Patrick Doud’s Irish Pub, named after a contractor of Irish descent who helped build a number of important buildings on the island; the Mackinac Island Pizza Co., which serves Detroit-style pizza See MACKINAC on page 9A

Berkley Art Bash to bring in big number of vendors

BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com

BERKLEY — More than 100 artists will take over the downtown for the 21st annual Berkley Art Bash.

The Berkley Art Bash will take place from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, June 10, on 12 Mile Road. It will feature more than 170 artists selling their art and wares to attendees, ranging from paintings, jewelry, pottery and more unique offerings.

This year’s event will see an increase in vendors over last year’s by 20, making it one of the biggest Berkley Art Bashes in the fair’s history.

“We had such an overwhelming response of artists applying this year,” Art Bash Director April McCrumb said.

“We had the space for it. So we reconfigured things to get another 20-plus artists, makers — we’re still turning away people. People love the show and we’re very grateful that the word is out and that people want to be part of it.”

In addition to the art vendors, there also will be food trucks, face painting, balloon twisting and live music.

McCrumb said one of the big appeals to Art Bash, as opposed to similar events, is that it’s only one day, which she thinks customers and artists appreciate.

“I think that’s an appeal to a lot of the makers and artists as well, because sometimes those two- or three-day shows get grueling,” she said. “I think also what people

Bauss plans to increase officer wellness, community outreach

BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com

CLAWSON — For the first time, the Clawson Police Department will be led by a woman.

Kellie Bauss, a longtime member of the Clawson Police Department, began her tenure as police chief on May 17. An 18-year veteran of the force, Bauss has spent almost her entire career in Clawson, aside from a short stint at the Michigan Department of Corrections.

Bauss was the department’s commander in charge of criminal investigations, in addition to overseeBauss ing its recruitment and training division, prior to becoming chief. She said that taking on this job has been a career goal since day one.

“Clawson is a wonderful community,” she said.

“I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to serve here. Clawson has been my home away from home for almost two decades now, so I’m very excited for this opportunity.”

When she first started in Clawson in 2005, Bauss remembered how the department didn’t have a female locker room. Now, almost two decades later, she has become the first female police chief in its history, which means a lot to her.

“I was the first female supervisor when I got promoted to sergeant, first female detective, pretty much first female everything,” she said. “There were a

of Royal Oak’s fund balance. The city’s fund balance policy is, for its general fund, that the unassigned fund balance must be maintained at a level between 10% and 25% of budgeted expenditures.

During the meeting, Finance Director Debra Peck Lichtenberg stated that the city will be planning its capital investments to make sure that they remain in that 10% to 25% range.

“That will involve looking for additional funding sources for some of the projects, stretching them out into later years and leveraging whatever partnerships that we can,” she said. “This also shows that the forecast really is a planning tool and it allows us to make adjustments before we end up in the territory that is outside of that (range).”

From the current budget to the 202324 fiscal year, the unassigned fund balance is projected to drop from $11.4 million to $8.5 million, a drop from 24.6% to 17.3% of expenditures.

If Royal Oak continues at its current rate of spending, the city’s future projections see the fund balance dropping to 5.4%, -8.7%, -21.3% and -32.8% of expenditures.

City Manager Paul Brake told the Royal Oak Review that a big part of this year’s budget has many one-time investments that contributed to drawing down the fund balance.

“The driving force in the budget process is really looking at ‘What are our goals? What are the things that we’re trying to accomplish that (are) set out in the strategic plan?,’” he said. “So yes, we’re drawing down our reserves, but we’re also making some improvements and capital improvements … whether it’s construction or building new items or making improvements in parks and a number of things that are happening in the community.”

Brake stated that some of those one-time items include sustainability, climate action plan items and investments in aging in place.

“So in the infrastructure, we have a number of projects that were identified along with the (American Rescue Plan Act) implementation, which is public infrastructure improvements, community amenities that we’re looking at combining with other grants, of constructing like a new public restroom located in the downtown, building a new animal shelter facility and exploring the feasibility of a joint YMCA/city community center.”

From this respect, according to Brake, it’s more of a concern of what he would deem recurring costs.

“Meaning that if there’s an expense that we add that say, for instance, a new position, that it’s the expectation that we try to maintain the workforce into the future,” he said. “So what

will happen in the following year, when we prepare for the ’24-’25 budget, is as that projection that (was) alluded to and the information that we have, that we are dipping below our policy, that we’ll have to make some sort of reductions and/or look at the possibility of additional revenues to make up for that loss. So that’ll be a conversation in the upcoming budget year — what our strategy will be.”

Going forward, Brake said there would have to be a conversation with the community on what the expectation is for providing the level of services for areas such as public safety, which takes on the vast majority of the budget.

“If we value that level of service and we don’t have sufficient revenues to bring that in, then it’s a matter of do we reduce the level of public safety? I doubt it. That’s not a viable alternative, but there is a sense of reality of the cost of providing services. And we’re like any other organization. Costs are just universally going up, whether it be fuel, personnel, anything that it takes to operate on a day-to-day basis,” he said.

Eva Houston, of Royal Oak High School, was named an honorable mention. Layla Rogers, of Ferndale High School, was named an honorable mention in the 10th grade category, and Bryn Hazen, of Berkley High School, was named an honorable mention in the 12th grade category.

Royal Oak plans Juneteenth celebration

File photo by David Wallace

ROYAL OAK — Royal Oak will have a Juneteenth celebration from 3 to 8 p.m. June 19 at Centennial Commons, 221 E. Third St. “Juneteenth — or Freedom Day — dates back to June 19, 1865. It is the date when enslaved African Americans in Texas first learned that they were free. Even though the Emancipation Proclamation was issued on Jan. 1, 1863, it took more than two years for the news to spread to Texas,” Royal Oak states on its website.

The celebration will include music, games, performances, food trucks, vendors, giveaways and more.

At 4 p.m., the Juneteenth Freedom Strive Walk will take place. Participants will take 1865 steps through the neighborhood near Centennial Commons. Participants can bring signs or make signs at the event. Register at romi.gov; those who register by June 10 will receive a Juneteenth flag to carry in the parade.

The Juneteenth celebration will move into the Royal Oak Farmers Market, 316 E. 11 Mile Road, in the case of inclement weather.

WALK TO DISCUSS SAGINAW TRAIL

ROYAL OAK — The Royal Oak Historical Museum will be hosting a trail walk at 7 p.m. Friday, June 9.

Our students have expressed how much we make them feel like family. Joy makes that happen!”

PLEASANT RIDGE — The Pleasant Ridge City Commission approved a contract for the construction of the Woodward Avenue cycle track, and work is expected to begin soon.

Approved at its May 9 meeting, the contract is for $1,813,716 with the Michigan Department of Transportation. The project is funded through a Transportation Alternatives Program grant from SEMCOG and administered through MDOT for $1,388,197.

The Pleasant Ridge Downtown Development Authority will be covering the rest of the project’s cost of more than $425,000.

Pleasant Ridge’s cycle track, a separate project from the Woodward Avenue road diet and resurfacing, will see work between Sylvan Avenue and Main Street. According

to city documents, the project consists of a reduction of one travel lane; the addition of a cycle track that is protected from traffic by parking lanes and the curb; landscaping improvements; and more than 25 new trees.

“From Sylvan, where there’s no on-street parking, there will be trees and a healthier landscape area provided between the travel lanes and the cycle track to make it feel safer,” City Manager James Breuckman said. “Then when you get past Maywood … the on-street parking comes into play and provides extra protection for the bike lane. Continuing from Wellesley to Devonshire … there’s that small median island and the road splits; that median island’s being removed with a new park, a small park space being added with the road being moved further to the south. This improves site visibility, so it creates more of a 90-degree angle for people turning from Devonshire onto Woodward.”

STAY COOL AND KEEP ENERGY BILLS LOW THIS SUMMER

BY BRIAN WELLS bwells@candgnews.com

W

ith summer and warmer temperatures just around the corner, many people are turning to their air conditioners to stay comfortable. But in conjunction with the increased use of energy, it isn’t uncommon for residents to see a spike in their utility bills.

So how do you keep your home or apartment cool without breaking the bank this summer?

According to Consumers Energy’s website, an air conditioner is one of the biggest users of electricity. To avoid trading a low utility bill for comfort, the utility recommends running the air conditioner in the morning so it won’t have to work as hard when utility prices are higher in the afternoon.

“Your AC won’t have to work as hard and you can get your home to a comfortable temperature before electricity prices rise in the afternoon,” Consumers Energy states. “Then, from 2 to 7 p.m., simply turn your thermostat up a few degrees. Your house should stay cool, and you’ll save some money.”

Additionally, Consumers Energy recommends using a programmable thermostat to take some of the effort out of controlling your air conditioning, as well as installing an air conditioner in the shade and ensuring that it is clear of any leaves or debris. If us-

ing a window-mounted unit, close any open registers to keep cool air from escaping.

“At the end of the day, our priority is ensuring our customers have the energy they need to power their homes and businesses, and we’re more than prepared to provide that this year, even on summer’s hottest days,” Consumers Energy spokesperson Tracy Wimmer said in an email. “But for those customers looking to reduce their energy footprint or simply save money on their bills, there are a number of very easy-to-implement tips that can be utilized in the summer months — from closing doors and registers in unused areas to operating appliances like the stove or dryer in the morning or evening when it is cooler outside — helping to keep costs low without sacrificing comfort.”

DTE Energy also recommends using Energy Star-certified appliances, which are tested and verified for technologies that improve efficiency and performance while being better for the environment.

Spend some time shopping. You won’t miss the ferries back to the mainland — they leave later in the evening during the peak of summer. Fudge shops here are almost as plentiful as hotels. There’s even a Sanders (btw, you can still find Sanders ice cream toppings here). If you have children, be sure to check out the Original Mackinac Island Butterfly House, where hundreds of butterflies, from around the world, flutter and amuse.

I passed through recently with a 3-year-old in tow. She was mesmerized. Before leaving, stop by the Pink Pony (inside the Chippewa Hotel), one of the island’s most famous bars, and toast its 75th anniversary. Cheers.

FERNDALE — The Lawrence Street Gallery will be holding an exhibition for Glenn “Fuzz” Corey throughout the month of June.

The exhibition, called “50 Years an Artist,” runs through June 30. An opening reception was held June 4, and a mid-month reception will take place from 2 to 4:30 p.m. on Sunday, June 18, at the gallery, 22620 Woodward Ave., Suite A. “There are two major trends in the art of the last hundred years: expression and reference,” Corey said in a news release. “For my part, even though some of my works, especially my pastel pieces, have expressive techniques in them, reference plays the major role. Much of the work looks back to the mythology and other subjects that have been depicted by other artists of the past.”

“In much of my work I try to take themes and images of the past and make them more contemporary to try to satisfy the 21st century (poet Charles) Baudelaire,” he continued.

The gallery is open noon-5 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays, noon-9 a.m.

Fridays and 1-5 p.m. Sundays.

Breuckman stated this also will narrow the amount of space that bicyclists and pedestrians have to cross on the road, as it’s currently very wide, and it moves the intersection away from the bend, which will allow for more space between the turn onto Main Street from where Devonshire ends.

“Cars will be traveling slower, and there’ll be less going on at that intersection,” he said.

The city is looking to begin the project later this month or in July and to com-

plete it in the fall.

Mayor Bret Scott said the project is exciting, especially as it’s happening alongside the Woodward Avenue road diet.

“You can see it all come together (at) roughly the same time,” he said. “I know that for a lot of people there have been comments about, you know, construction and … the unpleasantness of a construction and cone season that we’re in right now in Michigan, but it’ll all be worth it when it’s all completed this year, and I’m really happy to see it come to life.”

couple of female officers that have been hired in Clawson before my arrival in 2005, but as far as I know, they were only here a few months and then moved on to other, larger police departments. I think I’m the first one that’s been here for more than a year or so.”

Bauss was approved as chief by the City Council May 2, following a recommendation from a committee led by City Manager Joseph Rheker. She succeeds Scott Sarvello, who retired last year. Vincent Smith had served as police chief in the interim.

Mayor Paula Millan said Bauss is committed to the community and city leaders have the utmost confidence in her ability to lead the department.

“Clawson has an exceptional Police Department. The men and women who’ve chosen their careers here to serve in Clawson are exceptional, and I think Kellie is just an example of that,” she said.

“I asked her why she wanted to come to the community, like why she wanted to be chief, and she said that she likes how Clawson supports one another, and that’s why it made it easy for her to feel like it was home,” she continued.

Though it’s early into her tenure as chief, Bauss said some programs and plans she has for the department include continuing to improve community outreach and creating an officer wellness program.

“Research shows that at any given time, 25% of your employees are dealing with an issue that impacts their life,” she said. “This obviously is going to impact their job performance, which impacts the services that you can provide your community. So an officer wellness program is really important. That will include, first of all, a peer support team, so that’s what we’re working on assembling now. … We are in the process of sending people to some training for that and just

learning more about it so that we can get that assembled this year.”

Bauss also noted that police will be rolling out a virtual neighborhood watch program, where businesses and homeowners can register their camera systems with the department to assist with investigations.

“Even if it’s just a lost child or an elderly person who possibly drove away from home and we’re just needing some assistance looking in the area for stuff. Obviously, it helps us solve other crimes, too,” she said. “After that, we’ll be rolling out … basically neighborhood liaison officers, which there’ll be a few officers assigned to each area of the city to assist citizens and business owners with just general answering of questions, that they don’t need to come into the Police Department or call the records division or call the detective bureau. They can kind of call their officer directly, establish a relationship with that officer, whoever’s assigned to their area, and troubleshoot anything that’s going on or collaborate together on ideas.”

Millan said Bauss is going to be instrumental in writing the next chapter of ac-

countable community policing in Clawson.

“She’ll be excellent for ensuring public trust and guiding our next generation of police officers,” she said. “I think that’s something great that we can all look forward to from her.”

With a couple of weeks completed as chief, Bauss said that so far the job has been going well.

“I think what makes this easy or easier is that we have a wonderful community that

supports this Police Department and that makes this job a lot easier, but also just have a really dedicated police force and that also makes the job easier,” she said. “So having just a really great group of people that are selfless and really take pride in their job and in the community that they serve makes this a smoother transition for me.”

Karen E. Breen, of Birmingham, likes to hit the open road in her 1978 GMC Royale motor home she purchased in 2016.

Breen has traveled to New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia, Cleveland and northern Michigan.

FAR RIGHT: The 1978 GMC Royale motor home has a kitchenette, bathroom, dining area, bar and more.

ach time Karen E. Breen travels in her 1978 GMC Royale motor home, it attracts a crowd.

“There’s a lot of excitement. It’s an attention-getter no matter where I go,” Breen said. “The minute I pull into a campground, I’m approached by young kids and older people. Everyone gives a thumbs-up. People get their cameras out. You can’t be an introvert and own a GMC.” Breen purchased the 1978 model in 2016. The Birmingham resident is the fifth owner of the 26-foot-long vintage vehicle, which has logged miles upon miles of adventures.

“It’s about the road trip,” Breen said. “It’s about the experience.”

Since getting the keys to her own RV, Breen has hit the open road with good friends traveling to New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis, Philadelphia and Cleveland. There are some favorite spots up north Breen likes to visit, and she has two trips on her bucket list: Route 66 and U.S. Highway 89 through seven national parks.

The ardent traveler always tries to find a campsite in which the RV’s bedroom faces the water. Not one to stay idle, Breen finds various activities, such as hiking or checking out lighthouses, when traveling. A professional photographer, Breen takes plenty of snapshots of the spots she visits.

Breen keeps a journal of each road trip by tracking the date, starting point, time of day, mileage and destination. The GMC motor home has everything needed to hit the open road. It’s equipped with all the original appliances — refrigerator, stove and microwave. The walnut cabinets provide warmth. The dinette table located near the front of the vehicle can be made into a bed. The sleeping area can accommodate a large bed, or be rearranged to make bunk beds.

Breen has decorated the RV to make it “comfort-

Lasko, which manufactures electric fans, has some advice for getting the most out of them. The manufacturer points out on its website, lasko.com, that cooler air is heavier than hotter air, so placing a fan lower to the ground may better disperse the cooler air in a room.

Lasko also recommends pointing the fan at a wall that is across from where most of the activity in the room takes place. It says this placement will bounce the air off the wall and mix it with the rest of the air in the space, cooling it.

Lasko states that twin window fans working together can take in cooler air while at the same time exhausting hot air to the outdoors. Opting for this two-way circulation can help cool a room and keep it from feeling stuffy.

EXTRA COMFORT AND CARE FOR THE ANXIOUS PET 14A/ ROYAL OAK REVIEW • JUNE 7, 2023

A

nxiety is something that many people are familiar with as it troubles a large percentage of humans, but it is important to consider how anxiety may be affecting pets at home.

There are multiple different types of anxiety that animals experience. Some of the most common ones include separation anxiety, travel anxiety and thunderstorm anxiety.

Laura Wiltshire has been training dogs for about 20 years and has been with Wolverine Dog Training Club for about five years.

“Training is a good source to help alleviate anxiety, and when you train a dog, it actually builds the confidence in yourself, and the dog and you do form a bond,” Wiltshire said.

For rescue dogs, Wiltshire shared the “3-3-3 rule.”

“It takes three days for the dog to settle down, three weeks for your dog to get comfortable and three months for your dog to open up to you and show what their personality is,” Wiltshire said.

Angela Tolonen is the owner of Tolonen Family Pet Shop at 23320 Farmington Road in Farmington.

One of the managers at Tolonen Family Pet Shop, Sofia Solis, is experienced in working with pets with anxiety.

“The COVID dogs were almost like a little mini generation of dogs that lived through a good portion of their life without ever needing anyone who was not within their four walls, and I think for a lot of pet parents, it did not occur to them what that experience

would be like once they finally got their pet out and about,” Tolonen said.

Anxiety can be experienced by smaller animals as well. For smaller animals such as cats and rabbits, Solis said enrichment is helpful in reducing their anxiety.

Unlike humans, animals cannot use their words to share that they are anxious. However, there are several signs to look for. For dogs, excessive panting, barking or tail tucks are common signs of anxiety. Other animals may be reactive in their own way to people or other pets when they are anxious.

Solis said the first thing owners should do when they notice their pet is anxious is look at the root of the problem. For instance, owners should reflect on if their animal has been given sufficient enrichment to stimulate them.

A product that can help with enrichment is a snuffle mat, where owners can hide treats that the pet has to find.

“It can just be part of their day that they are doing some sort of job for their food, which is actually incredibly rewarding for them. It not only keeps their anxiety down but just really helps their relationship with their human as well,” Tolonen said.

One of the ways Solis has helped remedy pet anxiety is through CBD oil.

Mike Palmer, the owner of Premier Pet Supply, which has several local locations, said that oftentimes, one of the best things to do is to supplement with a product like CBD. “They don’t make it so that they lose their funcSee PETS on page 16A

Truck stolen from apartment complex

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that between May 14 and May 26, an unknown person stole a 2000 GMC Sierra pickup truck from the apartment complex parking lot in the 1100 block of North Campbell Road, north of Gardenia Avenue.

Thief takes Jeep

ROYAL OAK — A complainant reported that between 4:02 and 5:02 a.m. May 28, an unknown person stole a 2022 Jeep Grand Cherokee from a driveway in the 1400 block of Donald Avenue, near North Campbell and 14 Mile roads.

tional motor skills, it actually just triggers receptors in the brain to provide calm and make it easier to manage situations, whether that is traveling, visiting the vet or the groomer, fireworks, thunderstorms and things like that,” Palmer said.

CBD is also one of the first things Solis would recommend. CBD is derived from hemp plants but does not cause a “high.”

“It is one of my top recommendations just because it’s not a sedative; it’s not a medication like you would get at the vet. It’s kind of just a more natural way to bring them down a couple of levels,” Solis said.

While there was not a specific brand she recommended, she said she typically mixes CBD oil in her dog’s food. Other CBD options include CBD peanut butter powder, CBD treats and CBD water.

Dogs with high anxiety can potentially benefit from a daily dose of CBD, with higher doses given on more highstress days.

If people do not want to go the supplement route, thunder jackets are a prod-

uct that can be used to help reduce anxiety. They are like a compression shirt that works similarly to a weighted blanket.

Palmer, Wiltshire and Solis all recommended using thunder jackets for anxious pets.

“It provides almost like a swaddling effect that you would do for a newborn baby,” Palmer said. “And what that does is essentially provides them the comfort and calm of feeling almost like a warm hug.”

Wiltshire also recommends owners try using pheromones for dogs. Pheromones are chemicals that animals (and humans) emit to signal to other animals.

These can be sprayed in a dog’s bandana or through an air diffuser in the home. By smelling pheromones, some dogs become more relaxed.

For anxiety that is situational, Palmer suggested testing out a product before the stressful scenario and giving it time to become effective.

Solis said it is important to remember that anxiety in pets is very common, and the best thing to do is use different resources and reach out for help.

Keeping an open mind and following research from professionals is a good way to make sure your pet is getting the care they need.

That’s right. The GMC motor homes were only produced from 1973 to 1978. The RVs were designed with contemporary styling and large windows and built in Pontiac. There were four models named after national parks: Canyon Lands, Glacier, Painted Desert and Sequoia.

The ardent camper is a board member of the GMC Great Lakers, where she is the

editor and publisher of the club’s newsletter.

The Great Lakers was the first GMC club chapter, formed in January of 1976, according to Breen. In addition “there are a few very active GMC Facebook groups providing lots of information and camaraderie.”

For more information on the GMC Great Lakers, visit gmcgreatlakers.org. The GMC Motorhomes International website is gmcmi.com. The Facebook page is called GMC Great Lakers Motorhome Club (19731978).

in 1980 Breen graduated from Mott High School, which is now Warren Mott. According to Breen’s findings, the GMC motor home was the only motor home produced by a car manufacturer and was considered to have been “ahead of its time.”

“The technology of the front wheel pin allowed it to be lower to the ground,” Breen said.

She also discovered almost 13,000 GMCs were produced from 1973 to 1978, and over 8,000 are registered. While the majority of GMC motor home owners are in the U.S., there are also owners in Canada, the U.K., Australia, the Netherlands, Venezuela and other parts of the world.

The vehicles were produced by GM Truck and Bus at the site that is now M1 Concourse, Breen said. Because 2023 marks the 50th anniversary of the GMC, the international club, GMCMI, is planning a fall convention in metro Detroit culminating with a caravan through Pontiac to M1 Concourse.

“We are expecting approximately 100 GMCs to participate,” Breen said.

Through her on-the-road ventures she has crossed paths with other GMC motor home owners.

“They are salt-of-the-earth people,” Breen said. “They’re super helpful. Everyone is always willing to help out.”

Art Bash from page 2A

love about the show, it’s one day and they’re showing up that one day. We’re pretty crowded — like a full day of people shopping.”

In addition to the vendors seeing a lot of customers perusing their items during the fair, McCrumb stated that the attendees trickle into local businesses in the downtown as well.

“It’s one of (the businesses) top days of the year,” she said. “That’s exciting to hear these artists are benefiting, but so are all the mom-and-pop shops and small businesses in downtown Berkley. You know, 12 Mile is a pretty busy road. Some people might not slow down. This gives the opportunity to slow down, walk in, take in all the sights and scenes and shops, and get a good feel for what Berkley is all about.”

Paul Giroux, of Giroux Custom Guitars, will be participating in his first Art Bash. The Berkley native has been building custom guitars since he was a kid, but he picked it back up in 2021 during the pandemic and became obsessed with it.

“I’ve been a woodworker since I was a kid, and I kind of got bored with custom

furniture commissions. And I started playing music again during the pandemic, and this really took off and it was like this perfect match,” he said.

Giroux will be bringing around 14 custom guitars to sell for the event. Giroux Custom Guitars builds the electric guitars from top to bottom, including the necks.

None of the guitars Giroux is bringing are models that he’s sold before, as he wanted to bring something exclusive to Art Bash.

“They’re really a better fit for an Art Bash than for just a guitar store,” he said.

“Because when people go into a guitar store, they expect to see Gibson and Fender, and that’s what they see. And that’s pretty much what all the stores carry, because Gibson and Fender require you to turn over a certain amount of sales every month in order to even carry their stock. So it’s really hard for independent builders to get into stores. So my guitars are more on the art side. I mean, they’re wonderfully playable. People really, really seem to like the way they feel in their hands, but they’re also great to look at, and I think that’s why they really stand out at the Art Bash.”

For more information on the Berkley Art Bash, visit berkleyartbash.com.

POLICE, AS COMPILED BY C & G REPORTERS

Laser light jeopardizes helicopter

MADISON HEIGHTS — Trooper 2, a Michigan State Police helicopter, was in flight at 9 p.m. May 16 when it was struck by a green-colored laser, which was reportedly later traced back to an address in Madison Heights. A male suspect in the 26700 block of Osmun Avenue was arrested and a laser device was located on his person.

“It is a crime, both federal and state, to point a laser at an aircraft,” Michigan State Police Lt. Michael Shaw said in a prepared statement. “We are fortunate that no one was hurt (and that) the aircraft didn’t crash in this incident.”

He added that the suspect, 44, was transported to the Metro North Post, processed and released pending prosecutor review.

Former employee warned not to return to market

WEST BLOOMFIELD — An employee of a business was terminated from employment due to allegedly making threats to fellow employees at 2:40 p.m. April 28.

The employee was contacted via phone by the West Bloomfield Police Department and given a trespass warning to not return to the market.

Cellphone hack drains bitcoin

BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — On May 9, Bloomfield Township police took a fraud report from a resident in the 4000 block of Pine Tree Trail. The victim said his personal cellphone was hacked through a SIM swap -- a removable card that stores data -- and $204,024.15 worth of bitcoin had been withdrawn from his Coinbase account. The case was under investigation.

Bank card stolen from ATM

BIRMINGHAM — On May 2 at 10:06 a.m., an officer was dispatched to take a fraud report.

The victim, a 62-year-old woman from Birmingham, reported that she had left her bank card in the exterior drive-thru ATM at Comerica Bank. Witnesses reported a vehicle pulled up to the ATM after the victim left, and the suspect used the woman’s card to withdraw $500 from her bank account.

Comerica Bank refunded the victim $500, and the victim canceled her debit card. An investigation was ongoing.

Residents caught dumping illegally

FARMINGTON — Police officers were dispatched to a local business on Grand River Avenue for a report of illegal dumping at 12:44 p.m. May 4.

Officers learned that the business owners had

observed two subjects throwing items into their Dumpster without permission. Officers were able to track the responsible individuals to a local residence, where the culprits were educated on illegal dumping laws.

Stolen moped pulled over

FARMINGTON — At 7:41 p.m. May 5, a Farmington officer conducted a traffic stop on a moped that did not show a valid registration sticker.

During the investigation, the officer discovered that the driver had provided the officer with a false name.

Officers ran the vehicle’s vehicle identification number through the Law Enforcement Information Network and learned that the moped had been stolen in Lansing. Officers confirmed with Lansing police that the moped had been stolen. The driver was arrested for showing a false ID to a police officer, as well as receiving and concealing stolen property.

Shoplifter arrested

HAZEL PARK — According to a police report, a 32-year-old Detroit man stole more than $340 in groceries from a Kroger store in Hazel Park around 8:50 p.m. May 1.

He was arrested and the stolen goods were recovered roughly a half-mile away.

Police were investigating.

Lost wallet found by fellow shopper

NOVI — A woman filed an online police report after her wallet was stolen from a handheld shopping basket at an unidentified store between 6:20 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. May 2. She had placed the wallet in the basket while she shopped. She told police she put the basket down several times but never walked away from it, but she did turn her back away from it multiple times. The woman said she didn’t realize the wallet was missing until she went to check out.

The dark blue wallet contained her driver’s license, $55 in cash, credit cards and five miscellaneous gift cards worth $228.25. Police advised her to cancel all her cards that she lost and to call the three major credit bureaus and report the cards as stolen.

The woman said none of the cards had been used.

On May 10, the woman informed police that her wallet had been returned to her. She stated a female shopper had placed the wallet in between her front door and screen door shortly after the initial incident, with a note. The shopper explained that she did not trust the store employees and decided to drop it off instead.

The owner of the wallet stated she does not use the front door, which created the delay in finding the wallet. All contents were present except for the cash.

Subject cited for disorderly intoxication in park

ROCHESTER — Officers were dispatched to Rochester Municipal Park for multiple reports of an intoxicated subject at approximately 7:10 p.m. April 27.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found a highly intoxicated subject talking on the phone, according to reports.

While speaking with the man, officers located an open bottle of whiskey. The man became agitated and began screaming profanities. He took a preliminary breath test, with a result of a 0.18% blood alcohol content. The subject was given a citation for disorderly intoxication and given a ride to his residence.

Security system alerts residents of home invasion

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the 1900 block of Traceky on the report of a possible breaking and entering in progress at 11:03 a.m. April 22.

The residents, who were out of town, said their security video system alerted them to an unknown female inside their residence without their permission. The person had left, but the caller provided a description of her and the vehicle, including the plate number, she had arrived in.

Deputies checked the residence but observed no signs of forced entry. Police believe the doors were left unlocked.

The residents were contacted via Facetime, and a walk-through was conducted. It appeared that nothing was taken. The residents were advised to complete an inventory once they returned home, and the residence was secured.

Upon further investigation, the suspect — a 44-year-old Ortonville woman — was found to have been involved in an unrelated incident on Texas Avenue in Rochester Hills.

Deputies responded, located the responsible woman and investigated.

The woman was taken into custody and was transported to the Oakland County Jail for processing and housing.

Woman tasered after noise complaints bring police to party

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the 1600 block of Bedford Square for a noise complaint from a loud party at 12:59 a.m. April 23.

Deputies spoke with the lessee, a 23-year-old from Auburn Hills. Deputies were called back out to the location a second time on the same loud party complaint and witnessed a large party spill out into the hallway.

Fights ensued between people attending the party, but deputies were able to de-escalate several of the altercations. At that time, a fight broke out between a 22-year-old from Pontiac and a 21-yearold from Pontiac. Deputies attempted to separate the two females, who continued to fight around and over deputies. Police had to deploy a Taser to gain control over one of the females. Both were then taken into custody.

The two females were issued citations, and one of them was treated by the Rochester Fire Department, was transported to the Oakland County Jail for processing and was released pending further investigation. The apartment lessee was also issued citations.

Student attacked by 3 classmates

SOUTHFIELD — A student at a school in the 24000 block of Garner Street reportedly was jumped by three students in a locker room at 3 p.m. May 9.

Prior to the attack, the student observed some girls at school arguing and fighting, according to a police report. The victim stated that she had attempted to stay out of the drama but then began receiving harassing texts from one of the girls claiming that she wanted to fight her.

On May 9, the victim was in the locker room when three girls allegedly jumped and assaulted her multiple times, and the victim’s phone was allegedly stolen by the girls. The incident was recorded, and video shows one of the girls running toward the victim, grabbing her by her hair and assaulting her. The victim is then held down while the other two girls begin to assault her as well. The victim was eventually able to get up and flee the locker room. The three girls were identified, and the investigation was ongoing.

Cars targeted by thieves

TROY — Several Troy residents were targeted by an unknown suspect or suspects stealing parts from their vehicles in recent weeks.

Sometime between 3 p.m. April 30 and 7:59 a.m. May 1, the driver’s side rear wheel of a 2013 Chevrolet Malibu was stolen in the 1900 block of Hempstead Street.

On May 1, between 12:30 a.m. and 7:30 a.m., the driver’s side front wheel was stolen from a 2023 Ford Focus parked in the 2800 block of Saratoga Street.

The license plate from a vehicle parked outside its owner’s home in the 4000 block of Three Oaks Boulevard was stolen at some point between 12:30 p.m. and 2 p.m. May 4.

Police were investigating and had not indicated whether they think the crimes may be linked.
