MAKE THE MOST OF A DAY ON MACKINAC ISLAND

BY GREG TASKER Spending 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 See MACKINAC on page 16A

ROCHESTER — The Greater Rochester Skate Park Leadership Advisory Team, also known as SPLAT, hopes to bring a skate park to downtown Rochester, but first, it needs funding.

SPLAT — which includes former Rochester Mayor Cathy Daldin, South Street Skateshop owners Von and Linda Gallaher, and local residents Annalee Paul and Emily Muhlenbeck — has been working on the plans for the skate park since 2014, following the closing of the former indoor South Street Skatepark.

SPLAT had initially proposed a 22,000-squarefoot skate park at Jaycee Park that would cost about $800,000 to design and build, and an additional

OAKLAND COUNTY — Police in Oakland County are warning residents to be wary of an uptick in phone scams from people impersonating local police and threatening residents’ arrest because they didn’t show up for jury service.

In the past three weeks, Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard said, at least a dozen residents have been contacted by callers posing as Sheriff ’s Office personnel.

In each instance, the impersonator says there is an arrest warrant out because the victim didn’t appear for jury duty in either federal or state court. They say the only way to set the warrant aside is to pay a $900 cash bond — in either bitcoin or gift cards.

The caller, Bouchard noted, often uses the actual name of a person who is a deputy or commander in the Sheriff ’s Office and provides the victim with a phone number they say will connect them to the Sheriff ’s Office.

When the victim calls the provided number, a recorded message states the caller has reached the Sheriff ’s Office and all personnel are busy on other calls. The caller is then asked to leave a callback number, which the scammer uses to call them back, giving specific instructions as to how to make the necessary transaction, including providing an account number for the bitcoin deposit or the registration numbers for the gift cards.

Bouchard said at least two of the victims in Oakland County did pay the requested $900. Earlier victims were told they must pay as much as $5,000 to avoid arrest.

Bouchard said it is a scam if anyone ever calls and demands money over the phone.

“Sadly, we’re seeing an uptick in how many people are being hit with these phony phone calls. We will never demand immediate payment over the phone. Ever. Just hang up,” he said in a statement.

The Sheriff ’s Office and the courts do not accept bitcoin or gift cards for cash bonds.

Representatives from both the U.S. District Court – Eastern Michigan District in Detroit and Oakland County Circuit Court said delinquent jurors would be contacted by mail, never by phone.

People with questions about the legitimacy of a call are urged to immediately hang up and call their local police department’s non-emergency number for verification.

Skate park from page 1A

$5,600 per year to maintain, according to a 2017 estimate by Spohn Ranch Skateparks, but the group has since scaled down its plans after failing to get grant funding.

Daldin said new proposed plans would maintain the current baseball diamond and basketball courts at Jaycee Park, while adding in a much smaller aboveground “plazastyle” skate park.

“We thought it would be much easier and cost-effective to keep the park behind (the ballfield) and scale it down,” Daldin said. “We still want a good-sized park, but let’s be realistic — this would be a better project to either try to get a grant for or raise money for.”

The public will get a chance to learn more about the latest skate park plans, and weigh in on the proposal, during a public hearing June 12 at the Rochester City Council meeting.

Daldin said the public hearing is necessary in order for the group to apply for a Michigan Department of Natural Resources Spark grant — which is designed to help local communities create, renovate and redevelop public recreation opportunities for residents and visitors, especially those communities whose economies and health were hardest hit by the COVID-19 pandemic.

A total of $65 million in coronavirus state and local fiscal recovery funds was made available through Public Act 53 of 2022. Approximately $14.2 million in individual Spark grant amounts — ranging from $100,000 to $1 million — was awarded in February 2023, with nearly $23 million to be awarded in September 2023. The

remaining $27.5 million will be awarded in “opportunity communities” — which are identified by the state through a blend of local health and economic information, combined with a lack of access to nearby public park space — by the end of 2023. State officials recently moved the grant’s previous October application deadline up to the end of June, moving the project forward earlier than expected.

Daldin said the public hearing is also a chance for the community to show council there is enough support for the city to move forward with applying for the state Spark grant that would, if awarded, assist in funding the project.

“What we really need is people to say, ‘Yes, this is something that we really need in this community.’ It’s something that we’ve been trying to do for the last 8-10 years, so we want people to say to (the council), ‘We want this.’ ‘We need this,’” Daldin said.

At press time, over 860 people had signed a petition created by supporters to “Give (the) Rochester Community a Skatepark.”

“When your city doesn’t have a skate park, your city is a skate park,” said Daldin.

Construction on the skate park, if approved by the Rochester City Council, would not begin until SPLAT has raised all the funds necessary to complete the project.

The group has established an account with the Community Foundation of Greater Rochester and is looking into several potential grants through the Tony Hawk Foundation, as well as federal, state and local government. A fundraiser for the project is also planned for September at the Rochester Community House.

City Manager Nik Banda said the new skatepark design is “a lot less intrusive.”

“It could be a good addition to our city, and we support them trying to get these dollars through the Spark grant,” said Banda.

Mayor Pro Tem Nancy Salvia expressed concerns about reserving city parkland for the skate park prior to the completion of an update to the city’s Parks and Recreation Master Plan later this year.

Mayor Stuart Bikson questioned if the suggested grant wording would require the city to provide the land and agree to maintain the skate park once it’s built, which he said council never agreed to do.

Banda said the city isn’t required to accept any grants if the application is accepted, and the public hearing does not commit the city to give up any land or funding.

“It can’t hurt for them to ask. I think it’s a longshot, but we’re not putting ourselves in

any jeopardy to commit any dollars,” he said.

He told council the public hearing will allow members to hear more about the plans from the SPLAT group and see if any residents are even interested in the project.

“We told them, ‘If you want to prove your point, bring your supporters to explain to the council why we would give up a piece of our park and who is this for?’ That’s what the public hearing is for. They need to come and convince us that it’s a good idea,” Banda said. “Even if we were convinced that that little piece of land was good for us, until it’s funded, we’re not committing to it.”

‘It’s about the road trip’

BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Each 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 micro-

Paint Creek Trail Clean up

ROCHESTER — A Paint Creek Trail cleanup was organized May 19 by Kings Cove Condominiums. Thanks to help from the Rochester Community Schools Green Initiative, 20 volunteers worked to clean up the trail from Tienken to Silverbell. The volunteers ranged in age from 2 to 15, with a few adults to help along the way. One 7-year-old won the award for the largest item found — a 6-foot-long steel pipe buried in the leaves off the trail. Mike Jahn and Jane Haugen, from Kings Cove, worked alongside Stephanie Smith from RCS to coordinate the effort. Twice a year, volunteer groups, like Kings Cove, sponsor sections of the Paint Creek Trail to help keep the trail clean.

ROCHESTER — While many young girls get to experience the daddy-daughter dance through their school or church throughout the year, many daughters never get to experience such an event.

To fill the gap, The Monarch Circle nonprofit organization is proud to host girl dads and daughters ages 5-17 for a night out on the town for their second annual Royal Ball Daddy/Daughter Dance. In addition to biological dads bringing their daughters, this event welcomes uncles, big brothers, godfathers, surrogate fathers and more to stand in the gap and bring those daughters who would otherwise not be able to attend. It all takes place 3-6 p.m. Sunday, June 25, at the Palazzo Grande, 54660 Van Dyke Ave. in Shelby Township. Attendees can enjoy a full sit-down dinner, a signature sweets table and dancing, gifts, giveaways, a customized photo booth, face painting and more. Tickets for a dad-daughter duo cost $97; tickets for additional daughters cost $35. For questions, email info@soitiswritten.net or call (313) 777-8607.

Rouse and Orlowsky did everything and more in their roles as senior leaders this season for Adams.

Orlowsky, who set the school record in the 800-meter at the state finals, was also the regional champion in the 800-meter and Oakland County champion in the 1600-meter.

Rouse, who also set a school record in the 400-meter at the OAA-Red-White championships, was a regional champion in the 400-meter.

While dominating on the track, Lohr said their impact as leaders was what made the team strong this season.

“Besides their role on the team during the season, they’re a bit of a draw as to having infectious personalities that kind of gets people going, and people kind of want to join them,” Lohr said.

Murray, a first-year track and field runner, joined in large part due to a recruiting pitch from his soccer teammate, Orlowsky, while Rouse did his best Nick Saban impersonation to recruit football players onto the team.

When talking about Adams’ success this season, it’s hard not to mention the evolution of senior Jacob Spinks, sophomore Michael Wilkerson, Heppner and Fashho.

Spinks, Heppner and Fashho teamed up with Wilkins to take first in the 4x100 at the Oakland County championships, while Wilkerson was a constant contributor on hurdles this season for Adams.

“We definitely knew who we had coming back with Parker (Orlowsky) and Damarcus (Rouse) being the cornerstone of those teams, but we also knew we lost the Howard boys and Donovan Hayward, who were all all-staters, including Armon, who won the state title in the 300,” Adams coach Eric Lohr said. “We knew we were losing a lot, especially on the 4x4 and the 4x2, because they made up the bulk of those teams, so I would definitely say this season has definitely exceeded what I thought based on what we lost.”

Sweeping the Oakland Activities Association-Red in the dual meet and league meet, winning a regional title, and earning all-state honors in the 4x200, 4x400, and 4x800 at the MHSAA Division 1 State Finals at Rockford High School on June 3, Adams’ senior class set its own standard this season with its performance.

Earning sixth place as a team at the state finals, seniors Orlowsky, Rouse, Kyan Wilkins and Liam Fraser earned state runner-up in the 4x400 relay, while Orlowsky (4th) and Rouse (2nd) earned all-state honors in the 800-meter and 400-meter, respectively.

Rouse and Wilkins teamed up with senior Nick Fashho and junior Drew Heppner to earn sixth in the 4x200, while Orlowsky, senior Cameron Reynolds, senior Noah Murray, and junior Ferdinand Viereck earned fifth in the 4x800.

Relays have been Adams’ bread and butter all season, as they swept the OAA-RedWhite Championships relays, and Rouse said it’s the team’s chemistry that has been the key factor behind its success.

“We really just came together as a team,” Rouse said. “We’ve been together all four years, and it was really just a family thing,

A Decadeof Pain Free Rochester’s Music in the Park series heats up Lives! summer fun

ROCHESTER POST • JUNE 8, 2023

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER — The 43rd annual Music in the Park concert series kicks off this month, bringing music and merriment to Rochester’s Municipal Park.

Sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Rochester, the series features seven concerts, which take place 7:30-9:30 p.m. Thursdays in and around the band shelter in Rochester’s Municipal Park, located behind City Hall, at 400 Sixth St. Every year, audiences set up blankets and lawn chairs on the hill around the stage.

Some bring picnic baskets filled with dinner, nonalcoholic beverages and snacks, while others opt to purchase refreshments on-site.

Jeff LaDuke, a Rochester resident and audio engineer who is in charge of finding the bands for the series and of setting up the sound system each year, said the free summer concert series has something for just about everyone because a different band performs a different style of music onstage each week.

“We get a lot of young families with kids, who like to get up and dance sometimes or just run around and have fun,” he said.

This year’s bands include some returning favorites, as well as some new groups.

“The bottom-line criteria that I go by is, I want groups that entertain people,” said LaDuke.

The first concert, to be held June 15,

will feature the Rochester Community Band, performing in the series for its first time. Other performances include the jazz trio David Thomas Co. June 22; the J. Geils Tribute Band, Raputa! June 29; Great Lakes maritime songs by La Compagnie July 6; classic rock’n’roll by the Jello Shots July 13; American folk and country music by The Hackwells July 20; and the Rochester Symphony Orchestra July 27.

“This is just a good family event. It’s a real staple of Rochester,” LaDuke shared.

During the brief intermission at each show, there will be a raffle, with proceeds benefiting future concert series.

“Over the many years of Music in the Park, Rochester Kiwanis has given the greater Rochester Area the opportunity to enjoy an evening of fun, free concerts in a beautiful park setting. With the help of our loyal sponsors and music lovers, our hope is that this community tradition will continue for another 43 years,” Kiwanis member Eugenia Bajorek said in an email.

This year’s Music in the Park sponsors include Dillman and Upton, Haig’s of Rochester: jewelry & antiques, Lucido Fine Jewelry, Modetz Funeral Homes, the Rochester Community Foundation, Rochester Wealth Management, Serra Automotive Rochester, and longtime Kiwanis members Mike and Jeannie Daly.

STAY COOL AND KEEP ENERGY BILLS LOW THIS SUMMER METRO DETROIT — With 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 using 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.

According to DTE’s website, insufficient insulation can lead to uncomfortable temperatures and increased utility bills.

“Air can leak out of your house around openings that are not in obvious areas,” the website states. “Common household air leaks can be found around the plumbing vents, attic hatch, recessed lights and basement rim joints. To maximize home efficiency, seal all the gaps where air can leak out.”

DTE also suggests ensuring that rugs, drapes or furniture are not blocking airflow from registers and changing the direction of ceiling fans to cool more efficiently.

Cooling without an air conditioner

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.

“Box fans are versatile in their use due to their ability to operate in windows,” Brian Schaadt, Lasko’s business unit director, said in an email. “When weather and safety permit, using a box fan facing outward in a window and opening another window in the room (or nearby room) can effectively increase fresh air indoors and exhaust polluted indoor air.”

Schaadt also suggested opening windows when it’s cooler outside at night and placing box fans to circulate the fresh air and create a cross flow ventilation system.

Looking for more ways to save?

Many local utility companies — including DTE Energy and Consumers Energy — offer rebate programs and other incentives for switching to energy-efficient appliances.

Consumers Energy also offers inspections to help homeowners find ways to make their homes more energy-efficient, while DTE can help connect homeowners with contractors.

Mackinac from page 1A

Mackinac Island Pizza Co., which serves Detroit-style pizza and is among the restaurants operated by the Grand Hotel; and the Cedar Grove Bike Track, a dirt bike trail designed for children 12 and younger. In the last few years, a distillery, a brewery and a whiskey-themed restaurant and bar have opened as well.

So how do you make the most of a day trip to the island, which was recently named Best Summer Travel Destination in the country by USA Today readers. Here’s a loose itinerary to make sure you enjoy the highlights.

9 a.m. — Join a horse-driven tour with Mackinac Island Carriage Tours

This might seem like a no-brainer, but it wasn’t until my third trip to Mackinac that I hopped aboard. What a difference. It’s a leisurely and nearly two-hour excursion that provides a better sense of the island. There are several stops, so you can get off and explore. The company bills itself as the oldest horse and buggy service in the world.

11 a.m. — Explore Fort Mackinac

Perched atop a bluff overlooking the harbor, the limestone fort is a one-of-a-

kind attraction in Michigan. Costumed interpreters offer rifle-firing demonstrations and tours, sharing the stories of the Revolutionary War-era fortress. Exhibits share the island’s role in the War of 1812. For a unique experience, make a reservation to shoot an authentic cannon. Cap your visit with refreshments at the Fort Mackinac Tea Room. Run by the Grand Hotel, the Tea Room boasts some of the best views on the island.

Other lunch options: For a more casual break, order a picnic from the Mission Point Picnic Society. Customers select their own fare, everything from crackers and cheese to dips and charcuteries to sandwiches and salads. Lunch sacks also are available. Spread your picnic on Mission Point Resort’s expansive lawn overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Other options include grabbing prepared foods at Doud’s Market, the island’s only grocer, run by descendants of the aforementioned Patrick Doud. The island is home to a variety of restaurants, most of them can be found along Main Street.

1 p.m. — Rent that bicycle

Bike rentals can be found along the village’s Main Street and at some hotels. It’s an 8-mile trek around the island and you can pedal at your own pace. If the views of the Straits

of Mackinac, Lake Huron and the Mackinac Bridge aren’t enough to lure you away from the shops, the M-185 loop (it’s an official state highway) passes landmarks like Arch Rock, an unusual rock formation that stands nearly 15 stories high above Lake Huron.

3 p.m. — Grand Hotel

It is well worth the short uphill walk from downtown to the Grand, among the last of the big wood-frame hotels in the country. For $10, you can explore the venerable hotel and the grounds. Take time to secure a white wooden rocking chair on the front porch, the world’s longest, and breathe in the mesmerizing views. The public is welcome to join activities (for a fee) at the Woodlands Activity Center, which includes an 18-hole miniature golf course, and the Cedar Grove Bike Track. Ask about the hotel’s Secret Garden.

5 p.m. — Downtown Mackinac Island

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.

wave. 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 “comfortable and cozy.” A white, fuzzy throw blanket, for instance, fits snuggly on the back of the booth dinette and a Lucite table provides a bit of home. There is a bar area for a favorite cocktail and an espresso coffee maker. Control panels adjust the RV’s systems for climate, water and power.

The Detroit native, who grew up in South Bend, Indiana, discovered the GMC motor home when she was 11 years old. She remembers when they first appeared on the market.

“It was so futuristic looking. When you saw them, it was a rarity. They were not cheap,” Breen remembered. “My parents said, when they retired, they would get a GMC motor home and travel the U.S. Who knew they would only be around five years?”

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.

Breen and her family eventually moved back to metro Detroit, settled in Warren and 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.”

Breen is a bit of a vehicle collector. She owns a 2013 Volkswagen Golf R, which is her car and a rare production vehicle. She also owns a 2019 Kawasaki Ninja 400 and a 1979 Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet “Epilog” edition, which she said is the last year of the German-produced Beetle.

Breen, a data factory communications lead with Ford’s Global Data Insight and Analytics division, volunteers throughout the community, including with M1 Concourse in Pontiac and the GMC Great Lakers club.

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 (1973-1978).

derful gardens this year that are very unique — we have small gardens, we have medium gardens and we have large gardens. We have vegetable gardens, we have water gardens, we have water features and we have vertical gardens.”

In celebration of the bicentennial of Stoney Creek Village, guests will be able to tour two private gardens of the historic homes in the district. Garden walk participants will also be able to stroll through several of the museum’s buildings and exhibition spaces, as well as the historic plantings surrounding the Van Hoosen farmhouse. A highlight on the museum property, Hambleton said, is the Children’s Garden — which is maintained by the Rochester Garden Club and loaded with hands-on activities to keep little ones amused.

Other garden walk attractions include the “A Plant’s Journey” presentation at 11 a.m. at the calf barn, which will detail how all the new bedding plants make it from around the world into gardens; a “Fleatique” sale of gently used garden art, tools and accessories in the calf barn; and a cookie room filled with homemade cookies and lemonade.

The Rochester Garden Club — in collaboration with local grower East Michigan Native Plants — will also host a Native Plant Sale on the museum grounds 10 a.m.-4 p.m.

Customers do not have to purchase tickets to the Garden Walk to purchase plants, and preorders can be made online at www.Roch esterGardenClub.org.

Indecent exposure reported on Clinton River Trail

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to the area of Avon Road and Livernois Road on a report of a male exposing himself on the Clinton River Trail at 7:24 p.m. April 29.

Deputies spoke to the caller, a 49-yearold woman, who said she saw the male suspect “exposing himself and committing a lewd act,” while she was riding her bicycle.

She said the male stared at her while committing the act, but never approached her or spoke to her before leaving the area on a Segway-type vehicle. Police checked the area, with negative results. A witness told police that someone matching the description of the suspect was seen traveling westbound toward Auburn Hills. The Auburn Hills Police Department was notified. The case has been assigned, and the investigation is ongoing.

Victim loses $350,000 in fraud scam

ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies responded to a residence in the 3600 block of Sleep Fox Drive on reports of a fraud at 4:24 p.m. May 1. The victim, a 36-year-old man from Rochester Hills, reported that while participating in an online crypto-currency forum, the victim willingly invested a large sum of money, initially believing that he was partaking in a legitimate money growth operation. The victim reported that he was later locked out of his account, where he was faced with paying $50,000 to have his account unlocked. The victim was defrauded out of $350,000.

Man cited for drunken driving

ROCHESTER — An officer on patrol observed a vehicle fail to stop at the stop sign at Second and Walnut at approximately 2:15 a.m. May 9.

The vehicle, which also had an expired plate, then turned onto West Second without using the turn signal. The officer spoke with the driver, a 29-year-old from Redford, and discovered his license was suspended.

Driver found with bag of cocaine in car

ROCHESTER — An officer on patrol in the area on Main and University observed a vehicle make an abrupt stop at a red light May 17. Once the light turned green, the vehicle continued northbound and began to drive between the curb lane and inside lane.

During the traffic stop, the officer observed a suspected bag of cocaine while the driver was retrieving his license and located two unmarked pill bottles in the vehicle.

The driver admitted the white powder was cocaine and also admitted to taking oxycodone an hour and a half earlier. The driver failed field sobriety tasks and was placed under arrest and transported to the Rochester Police Department. The officer requested the subject take a chemical blood test, which he agreed to. A blood search warrant was sought, and the blood was obtained by hospital staff. The driver was lodged until sober and released pending the results.

CRIME

patrol observed a Ford Focus with expired plates at the Speedway gas station at Rochester and Avon roads at 3:11 a.m. May 9. The deputy conducted a traffic stop at West Avon Road and Warrior Way Drive and found a bottle of liquor on the passenger-side floorboard. The driver was found to have a traffic warrant from 52-3 District Court, and the passenger had a Friend of the Court warrant from Oakland County Circuit Court. Both were taken into custody, and the passenger was found to be in possession of narcotics paraphernalia. The driver gave consent to search the vehicle, and per further investigation, an open bottle of liquor and suspected methamphetamine were recovered from the passenger-side floorboard. The driver, a 42-year-old man from Auburn Hills, was released at the scene. The passenger was transported to the Oakland County Jail for processing and housing.

F THE O E M I R C • NEWSWORTHY OF THE WEEK INCIDENTS REPORTED TO LOCAL 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.
