Public invited to share input on Adams Road corridor project ‘FRIENDS OF HISTORIC ADAMS ROAD’ GROUP FORMED TO SUPPORT PRESERVATION BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER HILLS — The second in a series of five public meetings designed to gather thoughts on Adams Road will be held May 9, and community members are invited to attend to share their input. The city of Rochester Hills, the Road Commission for Oakland County and Oakland University have joined forces to conduct a study to determine the future of the Adams Road corridor, from Hamlin Road to Walton Boulevard. The Adams Road corridor planning and environmental linkages study — which kicked off last September with the launch of a website and the first public input meeting — is expected to take up to five years to complete. The next public meeting will be held 6-7:30 p.m. on Tuesday, May 9, in the cafeteria of West Middle School, 500 Old Perch Road in Rochester Hills. The Road Commission’s Craig Bryson said a presentation will See ADAMS on page 8A

Catching Cancer Before It’s Too Late

A physician’s personal cancer journey inspires life-saving screening: Learn how MRI total body screening can detect cancer early and save lives. abdomen. The most alarming part is that I had no symptoms before this diagnosis. This is the great dilemma of cancer: the need for early detection. Early diagnosis is key to successful treatment, and cancer needs to be detected when it is most treatable. My personal stage IV cancer journey has been long and rugged. My tumor eventually was recurrent in my brain after an initial seven months of chemotherapy. I have been extraordinarily lucky. After being told that I would live only two months without treatment on my brain, I was fortunate enough to become patient number one in a new drug study and I have been in remission 5 to 8 times longer than expected. During that time, instead of ending up with the indignation of dying, from a brain tumor in front of my family with seizures and eventual blindness, I have been able to see twins, born as grandchildren, ball games, swim meets, graduations, while watching my grandchildren and children achieve. Most importantly, I’ve gotten to hold my wife, Nancy, in my arms for more than 1500 more nights of my life. I get to hug my children and kiss my 13 grandchildren. They don’t have to look at me with tears in their eyes, because

Famed author and Health Guru, Tony Robbins, states in his new best seller called “Health Force”, that “MRI full-body imaging can detect a complete spectrum of cancer at very early stages”

Dr. Warren Ringold, M.D. they see Papa deteriorating. What a gift that has been. But very few patients are as fortunate as I have been, which is why I founded Bionicc Body Screening. At Bionicc Body Screening, we can screen for cancer from the top of the head through the genitals, detecting cancers as small as the size of a pencil eraser. We use highly advanced and sophisticated MRI screening, which can find small cancers in areas where doctors cannot order testing that will be covered by insurance. The irony is that these cancers start out very small, and they are very treatable at this stage. They are usually stage one and can be seen in

every organ of the body, including the dreaded pancreas. While screening for cancer, we can also find many other things that need to be treated or watched, such as brain, abdominal, chest, and groin aneurysms. If detected at this stage, treatment for stage one cancer is usually simple resection of a tumor. Unfortunately, if you are stage III or IV like most people, it results in vigorous and difficult treatment with much poorer outcomes. It is unfortunate that some patients resist screening due to fear. Despite their desire to take the test, they unnecessarily delay it out of fear of receiving potentially distressing news about their health. Giving in to fear can only make matters worse and potentially allow undetected health problems to spiral out of control. Don’t put off your screening any longer. Ask yourself, when is a better time to take action than right now? Don’t wait another 6 months or even another day. Prioritize your health and get screened today. The only regret patients have is that they waited. Don’t wait. Get a total body cancer screening today.

I’ll never forget the words of a patient who recently completed a total body cancer screening with me: ‘Doc, you saved my life!’ Despite having no symptoms, we discovered a tiny tumor lurking and growing inside of him. Without early detection, the mass could have silently grown into late-stage cancer, leading to excruciating treatments and a potentially dire outcome. Thanks to the power of early detection, cancer was discovered before it was too late. It’s moments like these that are precisely why total body screening saves lives. As a general rule, when someone presents to the doctor with a symptom related to cancer, they are usually at stage III or stage IV. Even with annual physicals, there are limitations. Most screening tests that are covered by insurance companies only cover about 29% of cancers. The other 71% of cancers occur in areas where doctors are unable to screen, and insurance companies will not pay for screening. This is where Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield can save lives. I am Dr. Warren Ringold, and today marks the fifth anniversary of the day my life changed forever. Five years ago, I was diagnosed with stage IV cancer in my chest and

Carol Lamb recognized with a Good Neighbor Award BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

ROCHESTER — The Rochester City Beautiful Commission recently presented Rochester resident Carol Lamb with a Good Neighbor Award. Rochester City Beautiful Commission Chair Rachel Williams said the Good Neighbor Awards recognize the ongoing efforts of Rochester residents who are making exceptional contributions to improve the quality of life in their neighborhoods. “It’s an opportunity for us to highlight some great people in the community, what they do for others and how they keep Rochester beautiful — both through community action, as well as what they do at their home,” said Williams. “We really just like to lift up those people that make a difference in the community.” Lamb was nominated for the award by three of her neighbors. “They all called her ‘the best neighbor,’ and, based on their nomination forms, I have to agree,” said Williams. Some of the things that Lamb is known for include watering neighbors’ flowers

The Oakland Township Parks and Recreation Commission offers a number of programs at township parks, including Lost Lake Park, 846 Lost Lake Trail in Oakland Township. The township is hosting Pastries and Petals, a new wildflower series, May 7 and 21 and June 4 at various township parks. People can start with a coffee and a pastry in a natural setting, then stroll along the paths with a naturalist and identify the botanical wonders of spring such as trillium, spring beauty, may apple, trout lily, and more. Conclude the hour by creating a different pressed flower art project each session. The cost is $5 for residents or $7 for nonresidents. For more information or to register, call (248) 651-7910.

and picking up their mail, her knowledge of community happenings, her general care and compassion, and always being there to lend a hand or just to catch up. Her neighbors say she hosts an amazing Halloween potluck, consistently helps with any and all neighborhood projects, helps out with her neighbors’ children, helped plan her 50th high school reunion, and much more. “Her neighbors all called her the definition of a good neighbor, and we are proud to give her this official title,” Lamb accepted the award during the March 27 Rochester City Council meeting and said she was surprised and that she appreciated the award. “You can be a good neighbor when you have good neighbors,” she told the council. “That makes a big difference.” Members of the City Beautiful Commission say Rochester is beautiful because of the many good neighbors who continually

go above and beyond, and the commission encourages people to nominate those who make every day in Rochester a more beautiful day. “It’s just a wonderful way to show off some of the great people in Rochester and thank them for what they do,” Williams added. Nominees must be Rochester residents, but they must not be employed by the city, and they must have made a significant contribution to their community. The nominators will be asked to describe, in 400 words or fewer, why they think the people they are nominating deserve the award. Those selected will be recognized at a City Council meeting and will receive a plaque and a gift card. “We’re always accepting nominations and always reviewing them when they come in,” said Williams.

Former Detroit police lieutenant sentenced for taking bribes in towing scandal ROCHESTER HILLS — A former Detroit police lieutenant was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison April 18 for accepting bribes in connection with corrupted towing permits in Detroit. United States Attorney Dawn N. Ison said the sentence underscores her “commitment to ensuring local police agencies embody the utmost commitment to excellence, integrity and professionalism.” “Thankfully, today’s result is not emblematic of the character of our law enforcement partners,” Ison said in a statement. “Nevertheless, this type of immoral conduct will and must be punished.” John F. Kennedy, 57, of Rochester Hills, previously commanded the Detroit Police Department’s Integrity Unit and was responsible for investigating reports of law violations and professional misconduct by police officers and other city employees. State officials said Kennedy conspired with fellow Officer Daniel S. Vickers to

commit bribery by accepting money and other items in exchange for Kennedy using his influence as a supervisor to persuade other officers to make tow referrals to a towing company. Under the city’s towing rotation, qualifying private towing companies are supposed to be called by the police to tow cars that are seized by the police or reported stolen. Officials say Kennedy and Vickers also conspired to accept thousands of dollars in cars, car parts, car repairs and new carpeting for Vickers’ home in exchange for providing the towing company that Kennedy was investigating with information about the status of the Integrity Unit’s case. Between October 2018 and March 2021, state officials said, Kennedy accepted bribes totaling approximately $14,950 from the owner of the towing company and from an undercover federal agent. Vickers — who officials said accepted over $3,400 in bribe payments from the towing company — pleaded guilty to the bribery conspiracy and was sentenced to 27 months in prison in February.

Vickers and Kennedy were charged as part of the government’s investigation of corruption within the government and the Detroit Police Department relating to the towing industry and other matters. Thus far, six defendants have been charged in the probe, and five of those six defendants have been convicted. The case was investigated by the Detroit Area Public Corruption Task Force, which is led by the FBI, with assistance from the Detroit Police Department, the Michigan Attorney General’s Office, Customs and Border Protection, and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. Detroit Police Chief James E. White said the former officers’ actions are “unacceptable for anyone who has the privilege to wear the Detroit Police badge.” “We appreciate U.S. Attorney Ison’s work to bring accountability to those who fail in their sworn duty to serve and protect the public and will continue to collaborate with her office in any investigation of alleged wrongdoing by our officers. Delivering transparent, accountable, policing excellence

that Detroiters deserve is a top priority of my administration,” White said in a statement. James A. Tarasca, the special agent in charge of the FBI’s Detroit Field Office, said police officers take an oath to protect and serve their community. “John Kennedy is being held accountable for violating that oath and using his official position to benefit himself personally,” Tarasca said in a statement. “We appreciate the partnership and cooperation of Detroit Police Chief James White as the FBI’s Public Corruption Task Force continues to address public corruption in the City of Detroit.” Kennedy’s attorney could not be reached for comment at press time.

MHSAA and Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation team up for Cardiac Awareness Month BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Kimberly Anne Gillary was well on her way to an exciting athletic career at Troy Athens High School in 2000, earning a varsity letter in both swimming and water polo in her freshman year. Wes Leonard was an athletic icon at Fennville High School in 2011 between his impact on the football field and on the basketball court. Most recently, in 2023, Cartier Woods deserved more time on the basketball court to play the game he loved for Detroit Collegiate Preparatory Academy at Northwestern. “At 15, (Kimberly) was more mature than many people I knew at 50, and when I say that, her focus was on other people and not on herself,” said Randy Gillary, Kimberly’s father. “To me, that’s one of the signs of maturity, with realizing it’s about everyone else and not about yourself. She was always focused on her friends, her family and doing what she could do to help other people.” Besides all being athletes, these young people had their promising lives cut short due to cardiac arrest during their respective athletic games. Eighty other students have lost their lives to cardiac arrest since 1999, according to the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation. Randy Gillary, founder of the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation, has teamed up with the Michigan High School Athletic Association for the second year in a row in honor of Cardiac Awareness Month in April. “What these foundations do is they provide funding to help schools and organizations get more (automated external defibrillators),” MHSAA Executive Director Mark Uyl said. “It’s easy to partner with our foundation

The Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation — set up in Kimberly Anne Gillary’s memory by her father, Randy, and mother, Sue — has raised more than $1.72 million and donated more than 850 automated external defibrillators to Michigan high schools. Photo provided by the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation

people who are part of that group during this month to increase awareness and really keep the conversation going. Truth be told, our efforts and the megaphone we have are probably improved and enhanced, given what happened with Damar Hamlin, the Buffalo Bills player who had a cardiac arrest in real time on national television. I think the big takeaway is, when you have certified people and you have the proper equipment, like an AED, present, minutes don’t matter — seconds matter.” Randy Gillary and his wife, Sue Gillary, whose daughter, Kimberly, died in 2000 during a Troy Athens water polo game at Birmingham Groves High School, created the charitable foundation in honor of their daughter, and they have since made a significant contribution to cardiac awareness within

begin at 6 p.m., and there will be opportunities for feedback and viewing presentation boards. “We’ll be reviewing the need and purpose for the study, which is looking at whether or not something needs to be done in that corridor. We’ll review the crash history of the corridor. We’ll review all of the feedback received after the first meeting, talk about what the process is going forward, and encourage people to, again, offer their input into the process,” Bryson said. Those who can’t attend the meeting can visit the Visioning Adams Road website for an overview of the study process and a chance to provide input at mksk.mysocialpinpoint.com/visioningadamsroad. The website includes an interactive map, an online survey and an “ideas wall.”

schools. After Kimberly’s passing, the Gillary family immediately began raising money toward AEDs to donate to schools, and they donated their first pair of AEDs to Troy Athens and Birmingham Groves high schools. Since then, the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation has raised more than $1.72 million, donated more than 850 AEDs to Michigan high schools, and drew up the original cardiac response draft for the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services. Now that the majority of Michigan high schools carry at least one AED, the MHSAA and the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation are focused on one particular objective. “What my goal is, I want every school to be a MI HEARTSafe School, which the cardiac emergency response plan and cardiac emergency response team are part of the requirements to be a MI HEARTSafe School,” Randy Gillary said. “That’s what I’m looking for, is to have all schools become MI HEARTSafe Schools.” The MI HEARTSafe School program, which is supported by the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, was not only designed to raise awareness and help schools prepare for sudden cardiac arrests, but also recognize schools who have met certain criteria to become a MI HEARTSafe School. In order to be part of the program, schools must have a written cardiac response plan, a certain percentage of staff and coaches having completed the CPR/AED training, one cardiac response drill per year, a cardiac response team, a sufficient number of routinely inspected AEDs and identified AED locations, and athletic group screenings that are in conjunction with the Michigan high school screening form.

Sara Roediger, the planning and economic development director for the city of Rochester Hills, said this section of the road has always come up in past studies as “the one road with the worst congestion that needs to be improved.” “It’s key for people to understand that Adams Road is in fact a county road — it runs through our community, but anything that happens on Adams Road is a county decision to make,” added Nathan Mueller, the senior adviser of strategy and communications for the city of Rochester Hills. The corridor, Bryson said, has “been a challenge for literally decades.” “There has been a lot of interest expressed over a number of years from some sectors of the community for doing something to relieve the congestion on that corridor. It’s obviously a two-lane road in a fairly densely populated community with a major university and lots of shopping and other facilities nearby. There have been some elements in the community that have wanted, for years, to have the road

While schools continue to join the program, Uyl said he hopes more schools take part in the program. “(There’s) not enough,” Uyl said. “Of our 748 member high schools, the number right now is a little less than 200. Obviously, the Michigan HEARTSafe schools, those are elementary schools, middle schools and high schools. Most of our attention is at the high school level, and that’s part of our reason for being at the table is that we want to see those numbers go up. There’s still work to be done. I’m never going to be satisfied because this is an area that, until you have every school that is a part of the program, that’s just not good enough.” As efforts continue to be made to not only raise awareness, but work together with schools across Michigan to make sure another young life isn’t lost, the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation’s donations of AEDs have already been used to save at least nine lives. In 2021, Evart High School’s Danny Witbeck suffered a cardiac arrest during a basketball practice, but a quick response from coaches and teammates to grab an AED helped save his life. Today, Witbeck plays baseball at Northwood University. That’s what cardiac awareness month is all about, and that’s what keeps the Kimberly Anne Gillary Foundation and the MHSAA going with their efforts. “The best parts of our meetings, when we meet here, is when we get to hear the stories — from a person involved — of another cardiac save from the action plan or AED used, and that’s really what keeps our work going,” Uyl said. To learn more about how to become a MI HEARTSafe School, visit migrc.org for more details.

widened, and other elements in the community that would rather not see it widened, so we want to get a good feel for what the sentiment of the community really is for this corridor.” Last summer, Rochester Hills residents’ Paula Rosenbusch and Leslie Schneider formed the Friends of Historic Adams Road, what they say is a Rochester Hills residentbased nonpartisan group to support the preservation of the historic Adams Road. “When we decided to speak with fellow citizens, business owners and anyone who really travels along Adams Road or lives along Adams Road, we found that almost 97% were supportive of the preservation of the historic Adams Road for current and future generations,” Rosenbusch said. “Based on that, we decided to form a group to share information to let people know when meetings are scheduled so that they can attend and have their voices heard.” See ADAMS on page 10A

that parade a few years ago,” he said. “There was, obviously, some passion in the community to reinvigorate that event.” Rochester City Council member Mark Albrecht said a committee of elected officials and residents from Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township resurrected the parade last year. “The parade sort of fell by the wayside several years ago, so we formed a committee last year and had our first Memorial Day parade in several years,” said Albrecht, who also serves as chair of the Memorial Day Parade of Heroes committee. This year’s parade will kick off at 11 a.m. Monday, May 29, at Van Hoosen Middle School and march north on Adams to the Veterans Tribute of Oakland Township for a closing ceremony honoring fallen veterans. “We can never forget those people who have given their lives for our country, so we urge you to either participate by marching in the parade, pulling up a lawn chair along Adams Road that day, or if you have a business, sponsoring the parade,” Albrecht said. Prior to the parade, the city of Rochester will host a Memorial Day event at 8 a.m. at Mount Avon Cemetery, 400 Sixth St. The city of Rochester Hills will host a Memorial Day ceremony at 9 a.m. at Veterans Memorial Pointe, 1015 S. Livernois Road. This year’s parade includes opportunities for participants of all ages to join in the march for free. “We want to double the size of the parade from last year, so parade participant applications are welcome,” Albrecht said. “We’re encouraging children to get involved this year with decorated bikes.” “People in the parade can also carry a

photo of their loved one or someone in their family who has given their life for this country,” added Rochester City Council member Marilyn Trent. Initial plans also include veterans and vintage military vehicles, local high school marching bands, police and fire personnel and equipment, youth scouting groups, and many others. Parade participation forms, which must be turned in by May 16, can be found online at www.rrc-mi.com or by calling (248) 651-6700. Last year, Albrecht said the parade route was lined with people from all three communities, and he anticipates a larger turnout this Memorial Day. “Last year we passed out over 300 flags going down the parade route. … This year we ordered 500 to pass out,” Albrecht said. Vito Pampalona, a Vietnam War veteran and the owner of Vito Anthony Homes, has once again stepped up as the presenting sponsor of this event. “I am proud to again be the Presenting Sponsor for the Memorial Day Parade of Heroes event. A day we must never forget,” Pampalona said in a statement. The Rochester Regional Chamber Foundation facilitates the parade on behalf of Rochester, Rochester Hills and Oakland Township, and with the support of the Veterans Tribute of Oakland Township. “We’re hopeful we can continue to maintain what we believe is a very important (event) … so we can take a moment, pause and remember those that have died for our freedoms (and) democracy,” Walker said. Additional sponsorships are available at a variety of levels, ranging from $250 to $1,000. For more information, visit www. rrc-mi.com or call (248) 651-6700.

Adams from page 8A

The group’s mission is “to honor, preserve and protect the natural beauty and historical significance of Adams Road in Rochester Hills, and to work with the Road Commission for Oakland County, the city of Rochester Hills and Oakland University in positive way to find modern effective methods of reducing congestion and boosting safety for all who travel on it.” During the first visioning meeting last September, the Friends of Historic Adams Road group helped bring well over 300 people to the meeting to share their perspectives on Adams Road. “We are working very politely with the Road Commission from Oakland County, with the city of Rochester Hills and with Oakland University — they are the big three stakeholders,” said Schneider. “We recognize that we do need potentially to reduce congestion and boost safety along Adams Road, so we would like to be involved in that in a constructive way.” The Friends group believes there are more effective modern ways to deal with congestion other than widening the road-

way, which Schneider said would put the mature trees and historic properties along Adams in danger. To help alleviate congestion, the group suggests that the Road Commission install traffic light sensors that allow for optimum traffic flow, utilize better-timed traffic lights during peak hours, add adequate dedicated left-turn lanes with traffic light signals or paved passing lanes in select areas, and/or build one to two roundabouts at pain points. “I think it’s really important to note that there are no plans for the Adams Road corridor,” said Mueller. “This is strictly what we are trying to do, take that feedback from the community, listen, hear and keep moving this forward. This is a five-year study that we are doing, so it’s not going to be happening anytime soon, but the public engagement part is a key factor.” Bryson said all public and stakeholder input throughout the study will help shape the future plans for the corridor, which he noted could include making improvements or doing nothing. “This is the opportunity to tell us what you think about what needs to be done or doesn’t need to be done in that corridor,” Bryson added. The study is funded by a $2 million

federal Better Utilizing Investment to Leverage Development, or BUILD, grant that was awarded in 2020, with a study start date of 2022. The multiyear study will include a planning and environmental linkage study, and a subsequent environmental assessment of the corridor. The Road Commission and the city of Rochester Hills are splitting the required local match of $500,000 to com-

plete the study. Bryson said the whole process is governed by federal rules and regulations, and it ultimately has to be approved by the state and the federal government. For more information on the project, visit mksk.mysocialpinpoint.com/visioning adamsroad.

Rochester celebrates Arbor Day with Holy Family third graders

ROCHESTER — The Rochester Tree Committee celebrated Arbor Day April 27 by hosting a tree planting ceremony on the campus of Holy Family Regional School in Rochester for over 100 third grade students. Each student received a white pine sapling to take home and plant, as well as coloring pages of trees, courtesy of the Arbor Day Foundation. A 14-foot sugar maple was planted in front of the school following a short ceremony. Rochester Department of Public Works staff were on hand to facilitate the planting with shovels, rakes, dirt and mulch. They were joined by the Rochester Fire Department, who brought a fire engine and water truck to give the newly planted tree its first drink of water. On the tree was placed a commemorative butterfly metallic emblem that reads, “This tree was planted in celebration of Arbor Day 2023.”

Gear up for spring with 2023 fishing license

METRO DETROIT — The new fishing license and regulation season kicked off April 1, so anglers need to be sure they have purchased a new license in order to enjoy Michigan’s fishing opportunities. The 2023 fishing licenses are valid through March 31, 2024. Fishing licenses can be purchased at Michigan.gov/DNRLicenses or by downloading the Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app and purchasing via the app. The Michigan DNR Hunt Fish app, an official app of the Michigan Department of Natural Resources, allows users to buy and store hunting, fishing, and off-road vehicle and snowmobile licenses and permits; report harvests; access guides and digests; and get the latest outdoor recreation updates.

CREATING DISPLAYS THAT DELIGHT AND EDUCATE

ROCHESTER HILLS — Have you ever admired the antiques in the display case outside the gift shop at the Rochester Hills Public Library? Since 1973 the window has been designed and staged by the Stoney Creek Questers, a local group interested in antiques and historical preservation. Originally started by Lucille Tucker, the themed library window displays are now created and replenished every six to eight weeks by Joann Mulso. Mulso said ideas for the displays come from historical events, holidays, the seasons and brainstorming with other members of the Questers. The current display was inspired by the coronation of King Charles III and contains artifacts on loan from several members of the group and Mulso’s own collection. In mid-May, the window will feature antique teacups and saucers, a variety of teapots, and tea service paraphernalia. When the current library building was constructed in 1992, the Questers were asked to continue the displays and were consulted regarding the size of the space they would like in the new building. A plaque over the window reads, “The Lucille V. Tucker Quester Display Case. In recognition and deep appreciation for over 30 years of volunteer service to the Library and Questers. Lucille Virginia Tucker (1926-2007), founder and charter member of the Stoney Creek Questers #203.” Stoney Creek Questers is a chapter of the International Questers organization founded in 1944 and dedicated to learning about antiques and preserving and restoring historic buildings, sites and antiquities. For more information, email the Stoney Creek Questers at Questers203@gmail.com.

DECK ART 2023 HELD MAY 11-12

ROCHESTER — This year, over 400 artists from all over metro Detroit, as well as almost 40 downtown Rochester businesses, are participating in Deck Art 2023. In its 13th installment, Deck Art is a skateboard art competition and exhibition that asks artists to submit one-of-a-kind artwork using skateboard decks as a canvas. The decks will be on display in Rochester businesses beginning May 11 and will be celebrated with a two-day event through May 12. “Deck Art continues to grow and evolve year after year,” Jenna O’Dell, events coordinator at the Rochester Downtown Development Authority, said in a press release. “It’s expanded from an event that originally took place in just two downtown businesses, and we are honored that the previous owner of Deck Art, Linda Gallaher, has let the event continue with the Rochester (Principal Shopping District).” On May 11 and 12, participating businesses will be open until 9 p.m. Attendees will preview Deck Art and be able to shop, dine and stroll through downtown. A panel of judges from Paint a Miracle will select one winner from the five Deck Art categories — elementary school, middle school, high school, college and adult. Winning decks will be identified with a special ribbon. A list of participating businesses who will display artwork can be found at DowntownRochesterMI.com. All artists have the option to sell their artwork. Specific details will be listed next to each deck. For more information, call (248) 656-0060.

‘Most people just love it’ MOTHERDAUGHTER BUSINESSES REFLECT FAMILYFIRST MENTALITY TOWARDS CUSTOMERS BY JONATHAN SZCZEPANIAK jszczepaniak@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — Warm and comfortable environments are what attract customers to come back and even make the customer feel like they’re conversing with a friend. The businesses that tend to bring that feeling out of customers are traditionally small businesses, and as Mother’s Day approaches, the focus shifts towards mothers and daughters who have not only created a strong bond between each other, but also through their customers and soon-to-be friends through their businesses.

Fox and Hounds Pastry Den

From a simple walk inside Fox and Hounds Pastry Den, it’s no surprise to anyone why their clientele consists of a substantial number of regulars. Aside from the soothing music of Frank Sinatra and Michael Bublé you may hear in the background, both Monica Nacianceno and daughter Monica Guzman said they are always prepared to converse with any customer who comes through the door. “I wanted it to be a place where they’re going to walk in and they’re going to feel warm, and I wanted it to feel cozy,” Nacianceno said. “When I’m on the other side right there or I’m in the back and I come up front and I hear people talking and I hear someone say, ‘God, this place is so cozy,’ when I hear

that word, that’s my keyword.” Nacianceno and Guzman opened up the pastry shop, which is known for its buttercream, in 2016, and modeled the black and gold interior after the iconic Fox and Hounds Pastry Den in Bloomfield Hills, which closed its doors in 2007. Guzman said the store was always in the cards for the ladies. “We always talked about opening something,” Guzman said. “It was always the plan.” Nacianceno has always had the mind of a baker, and she has her mother, who always baked her homemade treats as a child, to thank for that. After opening her own small dessert company in 2005, Nacianceno was in need of all hands on deck with every delivery. Sharing that love and passion with her daughter, it wasn’t a surprise to Nacianceno that Guzman was up early during the weekend to help her mother with dessert deliveries. “It’s funny; ever since she was young and still in high school, she’d get up at six in the morning, because that’s when we’d start putting together some of the little minis, you know, some of the desserts,” Nacianceno said. “We did a lot of them for weddings, because a wedding is when you can bring your desserts in. You can’t take food in there, but you can bring the cake, so we’d usually start in the morning, and she would get up. It was pretty cool that she didn’t mind getting up and that she was into it. She’d get up, and we had our See BUSINESSES on page 17A

Shop local for transitional designs, modern trends at Area Rug Co. The right area rug can be a design anchor and Tina Smart, owner of downtown Birmingham’s Area Rug Co., knows how important it is to shop for it in person. “I’ve always loved decorating my own spaces and I feel area rugs play such an important role in defining the space.” Smart said. “It really ties in all the elements in a space and finding that perfect rug is a real passion of mine.” Her family has a history in the area rug business in Ontario, Canada. After she got married and moved to Michigan, the birth of her daughter inspired Smart to start a local, woman owned small business that has recently received national certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise by the Great Lakes Women’s Business Council, a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC). “It’s mostly a trendy, modern collection, with easy care and low maintenance,” she said of the wares on display at the shop on Maple Road, west of Woodward Avenue. Smart hand selects the rugs herself and works directly with the manufacturers. Rugs are available to see in the shop, where they’re displayed off the floor for easy browsing. “It’s a fun way to look at the selection in the shop,” Smart said. “I have an online store as well but I feel like there is a need for people to have a place where they can come into the shop and they can actually feel and touch a product. “Rugs and other textiles are so important to try out in your space and I offer the opportunity to do that,” Smart said. “It’s something you should really see in person.” Smart was drawn to the environment of downtown Birmingham since she has always enjoyed shopping at small, locally owned businesses. She said that when customers come in, they will experience unrivaled service and attention to their own specific design needs. “There are so many options to choose from at Area Rug Co,” Smart said. “When I shop for the store, I hand select from different designs, textures and sizes. I love picking out rugs and offering my customers a large selection to choose from. They can choose from thousands of rugs in my downtown

Birmingham showroom that can be introduced into their home the same day but at the same time, I also have the ability to custom order certain rugs in unique, non-traditional sizes to complete their space as well.” “Even though this is my first store that I have opened in Birmingham, I’m definitely not new to the rug industry and I’ve always been inspired to open my own shop,” Smart said. “I give my full attention to the customers. Whatever their needs are, I’m here to help. Let’s decorate!” In addition to area rugs, Smart said she plans to offer some smaller, design accent pieces to the shop’s inventory. To begin the journey toward finding the perfect area rugs for your home or any space, visit Area Rug Co. at 202 E. Maple Road, Birmingham, or call the shop at (248) 480-0715. You’ll also find them on Facebook and Instagram @arearugco, and online at www.arearugco.com.

Spotlight on business...

Local Optometry Business Blooms from Humble Beginnings to Thriving Family-Owned Eye Care Practice. Rochester, MI - Since 1980, a small office in downtown Rochester has been the birthplace of a family-owned optometry business. What began as a humble operation has grown into a thriving company with a flagship store in Rochester Hills, MI. The company’s success can be attributed to its unwavering commitment to quality service and giving back to the community.

own thing, and we had it down really well.” With delicious cupcakes, macaroons and other various treats, Fox and Hounds Pastry Den’s greatest treat is the bond between Guzman, Nacianceno and their customers. As for Guzman and Nacianceno’s work relationship, it’s as strong as can be. “It’s been good,” Nacianceno said. “We’re not always going to agree — I tell you that. We don’t always agree, but we always come up with a compromise. She thinks I work too much, so we don’t agree on that.”

Just Girls Women’s Boutique

A mother-daughter duo that has gone far beyond retail, mother Jill and daughter Katie Oleski’s relationship has led to a successful, community-minded boutique store. They support various foundations focused on domestic violence, Alzheimer’s disease and garden clubs, and they offer donations of their customer’s choice via their private parties at the store. “I don’t ever want to give that up, because that’s our ground on how we started,” Jill Oleski said. “It’s taxing in that we’re running around like cuckoos all the time, but it’s

important.” When they’re not traveling around the midwest doing events for different organizations, Jill and Katie are continuing to build family-like relationships with their customers. While retail may not have been in the plans for Katie, who went to medical school at Michigan State University, she and her mother possessed a passion for something that would forever be a part of their lives. “I realized (medicine) wasn’t for me, and I missed people and retail,” Katie Oleski said. “When I decided to do that and I came home, because she was just doing all the local charity events by herself and with my dad too, and then when I decided I was going to give up med school, then we were like, ‘Well, let’s open a store.’” A few years later, Just Girls Women’s Boutique has captivated the Bloomfield Hills community with their impressive collection of women’s wear for all ages and with a warm and friendly atmosphere as well. Like most successful teams, Jill and Katie fill in the blanks for each other’s strengths and weaknesses. “My mom is definitely the visionary, so my mom is always, since I was a young age, she’s always been very artistic,” Katie Oleski said. “It’s funny because she put me through Cranbrook, and I can’t even draw

a stick figure; it’s really bad. She used to do my art homework. She’s very visual, and I’m very much organized — everything has to be perfect and a certain way. I like things done very meticulously, and my mom comes in and is the visionary. She’ll do one thing, and I’ll circle back and fix it a certain way.”

Scandia Home

Appointed the “girlfriend store” by both its customers and owner Christine Jackson, Scandia Home in Birmingham — which has been open for 13 years — has a different dynamic than most businesses. As opposed to the traditional mother-daughter dynamic, Jackson will be the first one to tell you that she’s blessed to work with two of her daughters, Mariah and Danielle Schindler. “It’s so fun, because people will be in the store and they’ll hear someone go ‘mom,’ and they’re like, ‘What? You guys are mother and daughters and you work together?’” Jackson said. “Most people just love it. It’s really fun.” A warm and comfortable atmosphere for any customer looking to improve their bedding and pillow decor, Scandia Home has the feeling of a traditional small business mixed with the feeling of walking into a friend’s house. It’s the “girlfriend store” because customers-turned friends will swing by the store

just to chat with the family. Danielle Schindler said the store possesses an at-home feeling. “We have a lot of fun,” Schindler said. “There’s not a lot of difference between our personal lives and professional lives. It’s like a second home in some ways.” Like their personal lives, Jackson and her daughters are not afraid to joke with each other any chance they get based on their styles; each of the three will buy for the store, so designs of all areas are showcased. “I think one of the coolest things is how eclectic it is in here,” Mariah Schindler said. “All three of us do some buying, so you can kind of see everyone’s personality throughout the store. We make fun of each other’s tastes, but it’s also very much in fun. We know there’s a customer for everything we pick, but we just poke fun at each other.” At the end of the day, it’s family over everything for them, especially Mariah and Danielle, who shared a bedroom growing up in a family of five children. Mariah and Danielle’s time outside of work is also spent together. “We work out together every morning. I’m at her house tons of nights a week for dinner. Our kids are really close,” Mariah Schindler said. “We spend tons of time together.”
