Artist uses natural materials to capture beauty
BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgnews.com
SOUTHFIELD/TROY — Artist Keven Bahoora uses natural materials in his art, which is being displayed indefinitely at the Italcasa showroom in the Michigan Design Center, 1700 Stutz Drive, Suite 25, in Troy. Bahoora grew up in Southfield and now lives in Las Vegas.
One of the works of art at the showroom is a life-size piece made of sand. The subject is a “metaphorical Adam type figure,” depicted, “knowing what we know now,” he said.
Bahoora said he was inspired to do this after being hired to draw the Sistine Chapel ceiling, “Creation of Adam,” in the 1990s.
This piece, titled “man,” shows a Black man sitting in East Africa at the “junction between drought and storm,” Bahoora said.
While creating this project, he set constraints for himself to follow, including the involvement of light in the piece, and the use of sand and dirt.
Through the process of creating this 8-foot piece, Bahoora said, it was the first time he decided to “marry image with medium.”
This piece inspired him to begin the process of creating an Eve piece, depicting Eve in a bed of leaves — which will be made out of leaves — with her skin, hair and

NEWS & NOTES
Local troops bake 1,700 apple pies to sell at Art and Apples
ROCHESTER — Scout Troop 125 and Girl Scout Troop 456 worked together to bake 1,700 pies over three days to sell at the annual Art and Apples Festival.
Parents bake apple pies in a commercial kitchen, while Scouts sell the pies at the Paint Creek Art and Apples Festival in Rochester Municipal Park. All proceeds are used for troop campouts, summer camps and adventure trips.
Each pie is made with 2.5 pounds of Michigan northern spy apples. Parents donate over 2,000 hours to mix spices, prep apples, mix dough, and fabricate and bake each pie. Double crust and crumb topping pies cost $18 each, and slices are sold for $3.
“This fundraising effort truly takes our combined scouting village,” volunteer kitchen manager/Scout mom Jenny Rush said in a press release.
“Every parent and child is on deck helping where they can, while following food safety standards,” Assistant Scout Master Kevin Price said in a press release.
“I just want to sell pies,” said 1st Class Scout Alec Anderson, age 13. He’s going to use the money earned to help with costs for the troop’s trip to Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico next summer.
The Art and Apples Festival will be held in Rochester Municipal Park, 400 6th St., Sept 5-7.

ROCHESTER GARDEN CLUB AWARDS SCIENCE CAMP SCHOLARSHIPS
ROCHESTER — The Rochester Garden Club sponsors scholarships for local middle school students to attend the Michigan 4-H Great Lakes and Natural Resources Camp.
This past summer, six eighth-grade students enjoyed a week of environmental science studies and outdoor experiences. Four recipients — Charlie Anderson, Caleb Maier, Abhay Awasthi and Tommy Washburn — were from the Rochester Community Schools. Eduardo Velasques, from the Avondale GATE Magnet School, and Stepphanie Vasquez Garcia, from the Pontiac International Academy, also attended.
While at camp, students hike trails, kayak and sail on Lake Huron, and wade in wetlands. Working beside professional experts, the students evaluate water quality, study the negative effects of invasive plants and animals, go on a charter fishing adventure and investigate evidence of pollution. The camp is hosted by the Michigan 4-H organization in conjunction with the Michigan State University Extension, Michigan Sea Grant, the MSU Department of Fisheries and others. In addition to scholarship programs, the Rochester Garden Club serves the community in the areas of conservation, education, horticulture therapy and civic improvement. Funds for these projects come from the annual Gifts and Greens Market — a holiday-themed market, to be held this year Dec. 4-6 at Abiding Presence Lutheran Church in Rochester Hills. For more details, visit www.rochestergardenclub.org.

keep the festival fresh to draw both new and returning visitors.
“It’s a great way to kick off the fall season, now that the weather is starting to cool off,” he said.
Over 250 artists from across the nation will display and sell their work in 16 different fine art mediums — including ceramics, digital art, drawing, textiles, glass, printmaking, jewelry, metal, mixed media, painting, photography, sculpture, wood and more.
“We will have nearly 300 artists from across the country coming out this year, so, more than we’ve had in several years now, and they are a lot of the top artists from around the country.”
Shelby Township-based artist Kandy Myny, of Bit O’ Whimsey Design Studio, is returning to Arts and Apples with her oneof-a-kind mixed media paintings, which she said are designed to bring people joy.
“I love Art & Apples because it’s a hometown show,” she said. “A lot of people know me in the area, so it has a really good crowd, and it’s a really beautiful setting in the park.”
Although Myny said her art style has evolved over her 16 years of creating, her goal has remained the same.
“I just want to make bright, whimsical, happy art that is positive,” she said.
Myny begins each piece by selecting a background layer of canvas or wood, which she then embellishes in layers using tissue papers, textured papers, fabric, paint, found objects and more. She said the end result is “a happy mixture of materials,” where each
layer is visible, and patterns and textures peek through. She will be bringing her original paintings to the show, along with prints, cards, coasters and other materials.
New to the show this year is wood artist Tim McEvoy, of Timae Wooden Home Portraits.
“I’ve always liked working with wood, but about eight years ago, I made wooden portraits of our childhood home for my brothers and sisters for Christmas, and it just kind of snowballed from there,” McEvoy said.
McEvoy, of Clinton Township, continues to create handcrafted home portraits from wood using photographs supplied by customers. He uses three to five different species of wood in varying thicknesses to simulate the colors and depth of each home. McEvoy plans to bring approximately 10-12 samples of his work to the art fair, and he hopes to connect with those looking to commission him for a custom, made-to-order piece.
“I’ll do just about anything. I’ve done homes, I’ve done businesses and I’ve even done a boat. I’m open to anything,” he said.
Ceramic artist Danielle Rancilio is also thrilled to be a first-time Art and Apples artist.
“I’ve lived in Rochester Hills for almost 12 years, and going to Art and Apples was my introduction to Rochester before we moved here,” Rancilio said in a prepared statement. “It feels very special to participate; I love having the opportunity to participate in events in my community.”
For an inside look into how fine art is created, guests can stop by the Creation Station for live art-making demonstrations, in-
I’m Keith Meadows, owner and operator of Power Vac Air Duct Cleaning. For years I’ve been improving our communities health one family at a time. By now we’ve all heard the statistics: 50% of all illness is a direct relation to dirty indoor air and that it’s 90 times more polluted than outdoor air. Yet, 90% of the calls that I receive everyday are from people complaining about dust, they tell me they dust the TV on Friday but by Sunday they are pushing the dust out of the way again so they can watch America’s Got Talent and none of them know exactly where it’s coming from. Well I’m here to tell you that it’s not because you’re a bad housekeeper. I tell people that by simply having their air ducts cleaned will drastically reduce household dust. The reason is your cold air returns. Cold air returns suck in dirty air and over time it builds up until you have the same type of debris that you would find in your vacuum bag. Cold air returns are also the reason new homeowners are experiencing dust. While your drywall was being sanded, your air returns sucked all of the dust through the system. To prove it, go down to your basement and look for the thin sheets of tin nailed between your floor joists, these are your cold air return lines. Now give them a good pounding, you’ll see pufs
of dust seeping from the edges. That my friends is the reason you have uncontrollable Dust issues. This debris can not be removed without a professional. Which brings me to my next point- choosing an air duct cleaning company. We have the equipment that is powerful enough to get the job done right, a Power Vac truck. Its the most powerful equipment in the industry. The truck motor actually powers the equipment and its able to generate 16,000 cfms (cubic feet of air per minute) of vacuum. Most competitors opt for the cheaper, portable equipment attached inside of a van that’s only capable of moving 4,000 cfms. To put things into perspective your furnace moves 2,000 cfms. So basically what’s coming out of your register. The power vac trucks we invest in ofer quadruple the amount of vacuum than most other companies.
Power Vac is family owned and our crews are trained to arrive on time, work with a smile and respect people and their belongings. Call today at 248-656-0600 and receive $100 of for the next week.
Visit our website CALLPOWERVAC.COM where you can watch a short video on the cleaning process and what to watch out for while price shopping.

Children can enjoy the popular — and free — Meijer Kids Art Zone, which typically offers face painting, inflatables, make-and-take art projects and more.
Those ready to rest their weary legs can head to the bandshell to watch Rochester-area high school bands, local dance companies, and more. All performances will be located on the main stage in Rochester Municipal Park, and all are family-friendly, according to organizers.
Festivalgoers can also pay to sample a variety of offerings from different food vendors throughout the weekend.
“One thing we really tried to emphasize this year is encouraging our food vendors to have apple-based products. Almost every food vendor is going to have something applerelated on their menu,” Hayes said.
The Art and Apples Festival is the PCCA’s signature fundraiser to support the nonprofit’s art classes for kids and adults, free art exhibitions, art market, summer camps, and community outreach through its Art Anywhere program.
A suggested $5 tax-deductible donation per person at each entrance to the festival will provide funding for the PCCA, which works year-round to promote the arts.
“The Art and Apples Festival is Paint Creek Center for the Arts’ biggest fundraiser of the year,” Hayes said.
Art and Apples will be open 2-7 p.m. Friday, Sept. 5; 10 a.m.-7 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 6; and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 7, in Rochester Municipal Park. Organizers said dogs are not allowed in the park during special events.
Free shuttle transportation to and from Rochester High School, 1361 Walton Blvd. in Rochester Hills, will be provided by the OPC Social and Activity Center’s transportation services with wheelchair lift-equipped buses.

AUTUMN FLOWER PLANTING BRINGS FALL CHEER AND A BRIGHTER SPRING
BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Planting flowers around your home in the fall can help bring color and cheer to the otherwise dreary autumn season, and it will brighten your spring season as well.
“It’s a great time of year to grow flowers,” said Matt Colonius, co-owner of Piechnik’s Garden Center and Nursery in Oakland Township and Piechnik’s Greenhouse in Clio. “I mean, it’s a great time of year to establish gardens and rework beds.“
He said that as a landscape architect, the flowers do a lot to enhance the entryway of a home. He said the options are “endless,” and there are plenty of things to be added to a flower garden to enhance it, such as gourds, pumpkins and cornstalks.
“It’s endless. It’s not just natural beauty, but there’s other elements to this that can be added,” Colonius said.
“Fall is for planting,” said Nancy Kassab, owner of Flowers by Nancy K in

Berkley. “By planting now, you’ll enjoy early blooms as soon as spring arrives.”
Colonius said that early fall is the best time for planting your spring flowers, but it can be done until at least Halloween.
“It’s a great time to plant perennials, especially this year with the cooler weather moving in early, they get rooted into the ground really well now and should be in place and ready for spring,” Colonius said.
“Tulips and daffodils are planted in the fall and not in the spring,” Piechnik’s co-owner Stan Piechnik said. “Everybody thinks that because it’s a spring flower you plant it in the spring, and it’s not. Fall bulbs are important.”
Kassab said that fall planting gives perennials and spring bulbs such as tulips and daffodils time to establish roots before the ground freezes. She said the cool weather reduces stress on plants, and fall is therefore an ideal time to refresh garden beds.
“It’s more hostile for rooting in the summer than it is in the fall,” Colonius said. “The spring is also a good time for us where rooting is heavier than growth. So, if the plant is not producing a lot of growth, it’s rooting into the ground stronger.”
Kassab said it is also a good time to plant hardy seasonal flowers. She said the most popular outdoor fall flower by far is the chrysanthemum, but other seasonal flowers include pansies, violas, ornamental kale and cabbage, camellias, and winter jasmine.
“For fall color you want to put in a lot of hardy mums; we sell some other hardy annuals like pansies, celosia, and some of the other annual grasses like purple fountain grass, and those are best used in planters for the fall,” said Colonius.
According to Colonius, many people are looking for fall flowers right now to enhance and freshen up their gardens as a result of the heat this summer.
“Hardy mums are a great way to do that, and we sell over 80 different varieties of hardy mums,” he said. “Hardy asters are great this time of year both for gardens and for planting in planters.”
He said the flowers that are not going to come back are best used for color by the door of your home, and the hardy perennials should be put directly into the ground.
Piechnik said that it is important to look into flower bulbs that are more resistant to deer. According to Piechnik, daffodils are much more resistant to deer than tulips; however, there are some newer tulip varieties that are resistant to deer.
Colonius said that in the spring, the flower bulbs come up and the deer like to eat them, essentially eating the flowers and ruin-
ing a garden.
Colonius said that they have a lot of products that offer some resistance to the deer, but nothing is foolproof.
“There’s really nothing that completely works for the deer,” he said. “They may smell at one and back away from it, but long term they might get used to the smell and figure nothing happened so I’m going to go ahead and eat it anyways, so we sell a lot of products that are kind of that way and they begin to work, and when the deer figure it out, they go ahead and chow down anyway. So, the jury’s kind of out on that one,” Colonius said.
He said there have been changes in the flower, nursery and landscaping industry because of the deer. He said they now often consider what plants will grow and not get eaten because of the deer.
Fall bouquets are another option to brighten a home. Kassab said the best flowers for fall bouquets include sunflowers, dahlias, roses, eucalyptus and narcissus. She said winter jasmine is “sunshine in winter,” amaryllis is “festive and dramatic,” paperwhites offer “fragrant elegance,” cyclamen has vibrant petals and heart leaves, and orchids offer lasting beauty.
“Flowers are so beautiful; they add color, texture and variety, instantly brightening up any space,” Kassab said.
She said that sun-loving flowers are usually low-maintenance if watered regularly and are good for those who are new to gardening.
Other easy-to-care-for flowers are marigolds, zinnias, sunflowers and geraniums, Kassab said, while roses, lavender and daisies need more moderate care.
According to Kassab, flowers are proven to reduce stress and boost happiness.
“Coming home to a garden of blooms creates a calming, uplifting environment,” she said.

Oakland Township man accused of groping teen at supermarket
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
OAKLAND TOWNSHIP — A 35-year-old man allegedly groped a teenager at a grocery store in Oakland Township.
Nathan McDonald, a resident of Oakland Township, was charged with fourthdegree criminal sexual conduct in connection with the alleged incident. If convicted, McDonald would face up to two years in jail and/or a $500 fine.
The incident, according to prosecutors, happened at a Kroger in Oakland Township Aug. 17.

ROCHESTER HILLS — Four men were arrested Aug. 28 after a pursuit that ended in the crash of an alleged stolen vehicle in Rochester Hills.
At around 6 a.m., deputies were dispatched to the 1500 block of Pembroke following a report that multiple individuals were attempting to gain entry into parked vehicles. Upon arrival, deputies watched the suspects enter an automobile, and police attempted to initiate a traffic stop.
The driver of the vehicle, which was later confirmed to be stolen, fled from deputies at a high rate of speed before losing control of the vehicle and crashing near the intersection of Livernois and Avon roads. The four suspects then exited the vehicle and fled on foot.
With the assistance of the police K-9 and drone units, which were deployed to conduct a coordinated search of the area, deputies said, all suspects were located and taken into custody without incident. All four men have since been arraigned in the 52-1 District Court.
Jaden Lamounte Franklin, 20, of Detroit was charged with third degree fleeing a police officer, resisting and obstructing a police officer, two counts of stealing or retaining a financial transaction device without consent, and receiving and concealing stolen property. His bond was set at $5,000 cash or surety only.
Dayvion Karee Young, 25, of Redford, was charged with resisting and obstructing a police officer. His bond was set at $6,000
The girl, 16, was shopping with her mother when the man reportedly touched her stomach and buttocks, prosecutors said.
“The teenaged victim in this case, like all women and girls, is entitled to safety and respect in public places,” Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a statement. “The defendant’s alleged actions are not just an unwanted touching, they are an assault and a serious crime, and will be treated as such.”
Nathan McDonald did not have an attorney on file at press time. No other details were released.
Tyron Charles Frankie Renfro, 20, of Oak Park, was charged with stealing or retaining a financial transaction device without consent, resisting and obstructing a police officer, and two counts of breaking and entering a vehicle to steal property valued at less than $200. His bond was set at $5,000 cash or surety.

ROCHESTER HILLS MAN ARRESTED AFTER REPORTEDLY MEETING
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
ROCHESTER HILLS — A 22-year-old man from Rochester Hills has been arrested after allegedly luring a teen online to meet him for sex.
Valor James Harrison was arraigned Aug. 28 on multiple felony charges, including third-degree criminal sexual conduct and accosting a child for immoral purposes.

TEEN FOR SEX
Investigators said Harrison has had a prior encounter with law enforcement related to sexually inappropriate behavior.
Harrison was given a $100,000 bond and is being held at the Wayne County Jail. A probable cause conference was scheduled for Sept. 5, followed by a preliminary examination Sept. 12.
Harrison did not have an attorney on file at press time.

body made of rose petals. This piece is still in progress.
“When I was doing it, I got stuck. I could not figure out how to preserve color, particularly pinks and reds — and that was going to be part of this Eve piece I was doing,” Bahoora said. “So I stopped, and I said, ‘OK, let’s learn how to preserve organic material in a way that we could retain its color and not have it change.’”
Bahoora said this process took 15 years, which eventually inspired him to make a rose out of rose petals — one of the pieces on display at the Italcasa showroom in the Michigan Design Center, “Red Rose.”
This 7-foot rose was made out of rose petals on wood. No paints or pigments were used. In addition to these two major pieces, several other pieces by Bahoora are at the Italcasa showroom.
Nair (Mike) Bahoora, of the Michigan Design Center, is Kevin Bahoora’s cousin and encouraged him to show his work in their Art Walk.
“He’s got it displayed throughout our store, and it complements our furniture perfectly.”
Bahoora’s artistic journey
Kevin Bahoora is a self-taught artist, and he said that when he was first learning how to draw, he was using charcoal to learn values, shades and shapes. He said this technique transferred easily to working with sand.
“I actually became a chiropractic physician so that I could be an artist. The rationale behind it being that I know they didn’t teach this stuff in art school. It was going to take a lot of years and a lot of money to learn how to make it, because there’s going to be a lot of failures with preserving organic material,” Bahoora said.
Once he figured out how to preserve the color, he became a full-time artist.
While Bahoora was working on the rose piece, his wife became ill. He brought their bed into his studio so that he could take care of her.
“She is my reason for doing everything. All of this — she’s my inspiration for everything.”
The pieces are on display at the Italcasa showroom in the Michigan Design Center. For more information on the showroom, visit michigandesign.com. There are limited edition giclée prints available for all pieces and the artist does commissioned work.

FAMILY MARKETS, GARDEN CENTERS ROOTED IN HOMETOWNS
BY MIKE KOURY mkoury@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — Creating a lasting business in a community can be quite difficult. Growing that business can be even more stressful.
Some of the longest lasting businesses in metro Detroit are its family markets and garden centers, founded decades ago. Many still can be visited at their original locations.
Impressively, there might not be many other businesses that have lasted longer than Kutchey Family Market. It has been part of the fabric of the city of Warren since the early 1800s. The original farm and store were located at 3202 East 10 Mile Road.
It was eight years ago when David Kutchey decided to sell that land and open a market at 27825 Ryan Road to sell produce and an expanded inventory of flowers and gardening supplies. The land was formerly home to Young’s Garden Mart & Christmas Fantasy, another longtime family farm business in Warren.
Kutchey said they always wanted to stay in Warren when looking for a new spot, as the community has always supported the business. They want to support the community, too.
“We just obviously enjoy the community and we’re so well known in the community,” he said. “People know us from being here for the original farm on 10 Mile. Being there for over 170 years, it’s just been a staple in the community … I don’t want to start all over. We have an excellent reputation and people know us and they trust us, and they know they can get good quality produce when it’s in season. So it was the right thing to do to stay here.”
Over in Troy, Uncle Luke’s Feed Store found its home in the city around 100 years ago in the 1920s selling their products to locals in one form or another, originally as Stiles Feed Store. The market operated out of a shed next to the current location as a farm outlet and hardware store.

Whether it’s dirty from the elements or everyday wear and tear, your property’s exterior takes a beating. For your home or business, maintenance is the key to preserving your investment.
When it’s time to clean and freshen up the look of almost anything, Honest Guys Power Washing is the only call you need to make. Owner Dan Taylor and his “guys” handle expert power washing for everything: homes, decks, brick pavers, cement, gutters, siding, industrial buildings, and even construction vehicles.
Dan said decks and brick pavers are their specialty, where they o er a better quality of service than the competition, the materials they use leave a longer lasting finish and the scope of work goes beyond power washing.
“We’ll refinish decks, replacing boards and fixing structural issues,” Dan said. “We fix patios and pavers that are falling apart.
Not only do we li and level and repair the base, we get the moss out of the cracks and put polymeric sand in the joints that prohibits weed growth and prevents moisture penetration.”
The power washing season heats up in mid-April and runs through October, which means now is the perfect time to protect
your property by keeping it clean and performing optimally.
“It’s worth investing in maintenance,” Dan said. “It’s a lot cheaper to maintain something than it is to repair it or replace it.”
Honest Guys o ers competitive pricing with a quality of work that exceeds what the competition o ers. Dan and his team can also quote pricing for new brick installation, add-ons, retaining walls, rock and more.
“We’re the best,” Dan said. “We take care and pride in our work. We use only the best products and our employees are educated technicians with years of experience.”

At Piechnik’s, customers will find mums with names like Autumn Sunset, Jacqueline Pearl, Orange Fusion, Bonnie Red, Staviski White, Vitamin Chili, Demi Pink and Dazzling Stacy.
“Tiger Eyes is a beautiful mix of gold and yellow, and Conaco Gold is a great late-season mum,” Matt added.
His favorite is a new variety called Champagne, with pale beige-tinted yellowy orange blooms reminiscent of the sparkling beverage.
“The color is just gorgeous,” he said.

Several unique items, but hurry, it ends soon,” he said. “Come out and tour this magnificent splendor in person.”

He also sits on several committees as part of his role as City Council member.
“I am excited to be running for re-election. Since rst being elected to the Rochester City Council in November, 2023, I’ve focused on the issues that I felt most directly impact the residents.

O’Connor’s Brings Ireland to Rochester
O’Connor’s Public House has spent two decades bringing the authentic tradition of the Irish pub to downtown Rochester, with dishes made in-house, an unmatched whiskey collection and a focus on community.
Owner-operator Dimitry Goyfman said his travels to Ireland deepened his appreciation for what makes a true public house. “What makes an Irish pub authentic is the look, the atmosphere and the way it brings people together,” he said. “In Ireland you go to the pub to celebrate, to grieve, to mark occasions or just to see your neighbors.”
The pub’s name has its own story. Originally Gus O’Connor’s, named after a famous pub in Doolin, Ireland, the “Gus” was ceremoniously dropped years later with a mock funeral procession that included bagpipes and a casket of beer. Regulars still call it by the old name, but O’Connor’s has carried on under its shorter banner,
keeping the spirit intact.
Food still plays a starring role. Boxties—stuffed potato pancakes—are a signature dish, along with stews and freshly made sauces. “Corned beef might be Irish American but a boxtie is truly Irish,” Goyfman said. The menu blends those traditional flavors with favorites like smoked ribs.
The drinks are just as much a draw. O’Connor’s ranks among the top sellers of Guinness in Michigan and offers more than 80 Irish whiskeys. Craft cocktails include the Dublin Old Fashioned and the Irish margarita, plus there are now 36 rotating draft beers.
Music rounds out the atmosphere with live bands three nights a week, including traditional
Irish sessions on Sundays.
And while O’Connor’s is known for big events—like one of Oakland County’s largest St. Patrick’s Day celebrations— Goyfman said the everyday welcome is what matters most. “When you walk into our pub, you’re walking into our home,” he said. “We want everyone to feel comfortable, whether it’s your first visit or your hundredth.”
Enjoy Happy Hour with half-off appetizers and $5 pints of Guinness, plus game-day deals during Lions games.

Market
from page 14A
The market eventually found its current home at 6691 Livernois Road in 1946, opening as “Uncle Luke’s Print Shop.” It has been there in Troy ever since.
Longtime employee Gil Tufts said their longevity in Troy has been due to their loyal customers.
“That’s the secret to our business,” he said. “I’ve got one lady that travels from Petoskey down here, and probably some further. … If you don’t have a loyal customer base and you don’t treat your customers right, you’re not going to be in business and that’s something we always strive to do here.”
Troy also is home to Telly’s Greenhouse & Garden Center at 3301 John R Road, where it was founded in 1978.
Telly’s Greenhouse kind of fell into the family’s lap, according to owner George Papadelis, as they had been neighbors next to an old woman with a greenhouse who then died in 1976. Papadelis’ father, Gust, bought that land in 1977.
Papadelis said the business got its start when, as a kid, it was suggested he and his brother grow plants in the greenhouse and
sell them to make money for a family trip to Greece. They then painted a sign and sold flowers from the side of the road, making $1,000.
The business eventually grew and became what it is today, where it took on the name Telly’s, which was the name of Gust Papadelis’ Greek restaurant.
Since its beginnings, Telly’s has grown to include multiple locations in Michigan but currently has its base of operations at its Troy location and in Shelby Township, where they bought several acres of land 15 years ago to grow their flowers and plants. That’s where they do more than 90% of
ASK DR. INMAN ABOUT LYRIC
Q: What is Lyric?
A: Lyric is the world’s only 100% invisible, extended-wear hearing aid. It’s placed deep in the ear canal by our clinicians and worn 24/7 for months at a time — even while sleeping, showering, or exercising!
Q: Is it really invisible?
A: Yes. Lyric sits so deep inside the ear that no one can see it — not even you. No daily removal, no batteries to change, and no fuss.
Q: How does it sound?
A: Lyric uses the natural shape of your ear to deliver clear, natural sound. Many users say it’s the closest they’ve felt to hearing normally again.
Q: Is Lyric right for me?
A: If you have hearing loss and want a discreet, lowmaintenance solution, Lyric could be ideal. Call us today for a free 30-day trial!
their growing.
That being said, Papadelis said they plan to stay at their Troy home.
“We’re staying here at the Troy location because it’s an excellent location and we’ve developed a property well to accommodate the store and, quite frankly, I feel like we’ve done a lot to promote gardening in the area and sort of get people to appreciate it more and enjoy it more,” he said.
Papadelis said the city of Troy has grown around them, as has the need for plants from a reputable and family-owned garden center.
“We just grew along with that need,”
he said. “As the market changed, we adapted to it because the same person that was growing the plants was selling the plants, which is me. So things have changed an awful lot since, of course, we started almost 50 years ago, but we’re still all about plants that we grow, and we love doing that and we’re good at it and we’re very service-oriented. Customers expect to see me here and they expect to get their questions answered accurately and, in most cases, passionately.”
In the case of Kutchey Family Market, the business has made such an impact in Warren that it was designated with a historical marker.
Kutchey said the designation was something that made him proud that he could continue his family’s legacy in Warren.
“It makes me very proud that I can continue on the family legacy that my great grandfather and my grandfather and my father and all them, that when they settled on 10 Mile and that was the original property, and then they started farming, that I can continue that and bring people good quality fruit and vegetables … and continue the legacy and keep supporting the community that supports us,” he said.

CRIME WATCH
Women arrested for organized retail fraud
ROCHESTER HILLS — A deputy responded to a sporting goods store in the 2100 block of South Rochester Road for a retail fraud at 7:02 p.m. Aug. 18.
The caller stated that two women had taken clothing from the store without paying and left in a white Chrysler 300 with an Ohio plate, going south on Rochester Road.
A deputy located the vehicle getting onto eastbound M-59 and conducted a traffic stop at South Boulevard and Dequindre Road. Both women — a 31-year old from Toledo, Ohio, and a 32-year-old from an unknown location — were reportedly in possession of the stolen items from Dunham’s and were taken into custody. Upon further investigation it was discovered that they were in possession of several other items totaling almost $4,000 from other stores in different jurisdictions. Both women were lodged at the Oakland County Jail. Warrants were issued to both for receiving and concealing stolen property over $1,000 and under $20,000, one count for retail fraud thirddegree, and one count for removing an antitheft device.
Woman caught stealing electric shopping cart
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to a store in the 2500 block of Adams Road on a report of a stolen Amigo electric shopping cart at 2:12 a.m. Aug. 17.
A 33-year-old Pontiac woman reportedly had attempted to drive an Amigo electric shopping cart back to her residence in Pontiac.
Auburn Hills officers initially observed
the woman driving the Amigo on Adams Road, near Marketplace Circle. She was identified and instructed to drive the Amigo back to the store while being followed by Auburn Hills. She was found to be in possession of other stolen merchandise from the store.
Upon further investigation, deputies learned she had a warrant for her arrest from the 50th District Court. She was arrested and transported to the Oakland County Jail.
Choking child rescued
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies were dispatched to Bloomer Park, 345 John R Road, on a report of a child choking and not breathing at 7:40 p.m. Aug. 17.
Deputies arrived and located the child, 2, of Pontiac, who was not responsive and appeared to be choking. Deputies began to give a series of back blows to the child, who began to make noises attempting to breathe, but there was still an obstruction in her airway. Deputies continued giving a series of back blows until the Fire Department arrived. Upon their arrival, they took over medical assistance and transported her to Royal Oak Beaumont Hospital. The parents believe their child may have choked on a piece of candy. The child was reported to be in stable condition at press time.
Man arrested for possession of a stolen vehicle
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies received notification that a license plate reader alerted on a stolen motorcycle near Crooks and Avon at 8:23 p.m. Aug. 8. Deputies looked up the license plate, which revealed a known suspect and showed him residing in the 500 block of University in Rochester Hills. Deputies checked the area and observed a motorcycle traveling east on University Road. The license plate matched that of the stolen vehicle.
Deputies initiated a traffic stop and took the operator of the motorcycle into custody, a 43-year-old male from Harrison Township. A passenger was released at the scene. The motorcycle was impounded, and the operator was transported to the Oakland County Jail without incident.
Man caught on video allegedly attempting to photograph under woman’s skirt
ROCHESTER HILLS — A 35-yearold woman from Rochester Hills said that as she was shopping with her two children at the Target at 2887 S. Rochester Road she noticed a white man in his 30s, about 5 feet, 10inches tall and wearing an orange or red shirt, and a pair of tan cargo shorts.
She believes he was taking photos or videos under her dress. When she turned around, the man was near her, squatting on the floor, with his phone out.
She walked away and over to the next
aisle. The man followed her to the next aisle, and she noticed him attempting to get close to her with his phone out. She found a Target security guard and told him what had happened. The unknown subject left the area.
Deputies reviewed the store video and observed the unknown man squat down next to her with his phone in hand. The complainant turned around fast enough that it doesn’t appear that the unknown man was able to obtain a picture or video. The complainant completed a witness statement.
Garage fire extinguished
ROCHESTER HILLS — Deputies and the Rochester Hills Fire Department were dispatched to the 460 block of Farm Ridge Court for a garage fire at 6:51 p.m. Aug. 17.

MATCHUPS TO WATCH
Sept. 5 — 7 p.m.
Harper Woods at Clarkston
An OAA crossover matchup between two fixtures in the MHSAA postseason. Last season, Harper Woods made it to the state semifinals before losing to eventual state champion Goodrich. Clarkston is a blue-blood program that wins playoff games seemingly every year and is coming off of a big week 1 matchup against Belleville in the Amazon Prep Kickoff Classic. The game is also “Community Night” and kids ages 12 and younger will get in for free.
Sept. 5 — 7 p.m.
Rochester at Rochester Adams
This cross-town rivalry is a matchup played every season, outside of 2011. Amaz-
ingly, and despite its annual setup, Rochester hasn’t defeated Adams since a 1996 game that had a score of 20-14. It will be a tall task, however, as Rochester went 4-5 a year ago while Adams put up a 10-3 record and made the state semifinals.
Sept. 5 — 7 p.m.
Warren De La Salle Collegiate at Davison De La Salle went 8-3 last year with a pair of playoff wins. This year, the team looks to make a run at the Catholic High School League Central Division championship. Davison lost to De La Salle on opening night in 2024 by a score of 21-3, but the team recovered nicely and finished the season 7-3.
Sept. 5 — 7 p.m.
Pontiac Notre Dame Prep at Jackson Lumen Christi
This is not only one of the most anticipated matchups of the week, but it’s one of the biggest games of the entire season. 2024 Division 5 state champion Pontiac Notre Dame Prep is going to Jackson to face 2024 Division 6 state champion Lumen Christi. The teams went a combined 25-2 last season and look to be two of the best teams in Michigan again this fall.

Michigan Family Physician Diagnosed with Late-Stage Cancer After Experiencing is One Symptom
(South eld, MI) It’s a terrifying reality: a life-threatening illness could be silently developing inside your body, completely undetected by routine check-ups. By the time symptoms appear, especially cancer, the disease is often advanced, limiting treatment options.
LATE DETECTION
is agonizing truth was personally experienced by Dr. Warren Ringold, a respected family physician and the visionary behind Bionicc Body Screening. He shockingly discovered he had stage four cancer with tumors as large as softballs, only after experiencing shortness of breath. His brutal treatments and subsequent brain tumor recurrence ignited a profound mission: there had to be a better way to nd serious conditions before they became critical.
FULL BODY MRI SCANS
Dr. Ringold founded Bionicc Body Screening in 2022, establishing Michigan’s rst MRI full body screening center. His purpose was to empower individuals with groundbreaking insights into their health through advanced body screening
technologies. Today, his son, Ryan, passionately carries on this mission and understands the urgency: “We all know someone who awoke with an unexplained symptom and discovered they had stage four cancer. Once you have symptoms, cancer is usually advanced,” he states. “My father never wanted another person to su er from late detection. He wanted to save lives.”
71% OF TUMORS GROW UNDETECTED
While annual physicals are important, they have critical limitations. Standard screenings only detect about 29% of cancers, leaving a staggering 71% to potentially develop undetected in other areas of your body. Bionicc Body Screening o ers a comprehensive solution. Proactive full-body MRI screenings provide an unparalleled picture of your
internal health, going beyond traditional checkups. State-of-the-art MRI technology can detect tumors as small as a pea, along with aneurysms, stroke risk, and hundreds of other conditions that might otherwise go unnoticed. ese comprehensive scans image your head through the pelvis. MRI scans are safe, noninvasive, and emit absolutely no radiation. And, crucially, they are available without a doctor’s referral.
A LIFE SAVED
Mark B. was initially skeptical, but his proactive screening revealed a 3 cm lung mass that tested positive for cancer. He credits the scan for saving his life after three-fourths of his lung was removed. e fee for a full body MRI is an investment in your health and wellbeing, but the true cost of delaying could be far greater. Schedule your scan today.
