Stronger Together: The Power of Community Connection
From high school sweethearts to marriage and then a growing family, life at the Gallaher house was naturally busy, hectic, at times chaotic and deeply joyful. The demands of work, family, college, and a few home remodels, left little time for building support networks, let alone building deeper connections with the community.
Yes, there was a noticeable void that lingered quietly.
As a young wife and mother, caught in the rhythm of daily life, it led me to wonder what more I could do to connect more deeply to my community, in hopes that connecting would bring a refreshing sense of balance and support to my life. I often wondered what would happen if I made room for the unfamiliar in my life, would stirring up my discomfort of the unknown help combat the feelings of disconnect? I wanted, or maybe needed, to feel like my presence somehow contributed to the collective fabric of Rochester.
As time went on, Von and I became more deeply rooted in our community mainly through the friendships, schools, sports, and local events, all of which fostered a sense of belonging. The quest for more opportunities to engage and connect never settled. In 2005, with our inherent risk-taking nature, and shared love for work, we decided it was time to tap into our entrepreneurial backgrounds and start a small business. We knew that owning a business would never be just a means to an end for us, it would become an integral part of our identity. This small business, South Street, has provided us with a deeper sense of purpose and fulfillment in our community and in our life.
Over the years, the community’s trust and loyalty have made it possible for us to grow, invest and connect in ways we never imagined. Rochester and the surrounding communities’ patronage has been the cornerstone of our journey and we are so thankful. We’ve always believed in the power of community and these experiences have reinforced our belief that a connected community is a thriving community.

Invest in your puppy's success with Amy Garabedian, owner of Sit Means Sit Metro Detroit
There is nothing like the excitement of welcoming a new puppy to your home. Though I’ve done it many times and raised eight litters of Leonbergers in my home, each experience is unique in the best way. Like any other healthy relationship, developing a bond with your new puppy is something that requires cultivation—investment, if you will. In my dog-centric world, I get to see the excitement of new owners and also where frustrations can fester. With some basic tips to keep in mind, you can make your time with your new fluff ball as rewarding as possible. Most people immediately think of the usual things they must do when they get a new pup: go to puppy training classes and get age-appropriate vaccinations. Yes, definitely, but there are some additional easy ways to increase the odds of a fun, nourishing relationship with your very soon-to-be adult dog.
INVEST YOUR TIME & ACCUMULATE UNDERSTANDING
I frequently remind attendees of our puppy classes that they are not off the hook with their puppy’s socialization and training just by attending a one-hour class each week. Raising a puppy is a seven-dayper-week job. There is nothing more important you can give to your puppy than dedicated time. That kind of time doesn’t come from keeping half an eye on your pup while scrolling Instagram. Instead, think active engagement. Think eye contact and interaction. While you’re spending time with your puppy, really listen. Watch and observe. Your puppy has so much to tell you about her personality,
her likes and dislikes. What gives her joy, what she needs from you, where her confidence might still need to grow. So, how can you know if the time you’re spending is quality? It should accomplish one of two goals, maybe both simultaneously. It should be teaching your puppy some skill or expectation that he needs to function successfully in your family, and/or it will meet your puppy’s need for mental or physical exertion.
THREE EASY WAYS TO SPEND SOME QUALITY TIME WITH YOUR PUP:
Make regular socialization visits to new places, not the same places every week. Shoot for at least 3 times per week. The trips don’t need to be hour long marathons. A quick jaunt to a new pet-friendly store, neighbor’s house, or park will do just fine. The side benefit of these excursions is a tuckered-out puppy.
Play with your puppy. Sounds easy enough… but really pay attention to the game that your puppy wants to play. Many times, humans have ideas about what they want to do. Maybe your Labrador puppy doesn’t want to retrieve a ball, maybe she wants to play tug or chase. Spend some time letting the puppy guide the play. I promise this won’t cause a dominance challenge, but it will let your puppy know that you’re genuinely interested in making play fun for them.
Let the puppy guide the daily walk. If he doesn’t want to go past three houses down, that’s fine. If he wants to sniff a very interesting tree for five minutes, let him sniff until he’s finished. Let him pick to turn left or right at a curve in the road.
We ask quite a bit of our puppies without really thinking too much about it. It’s easy to overlook that coming away from their mom and littermates is a tremendous change for these little guys. In return, the time and effort we dedicate to them is nothing we can put a price tag on, but if we treat them right, we’ll get the reward of a relationship unlike any other. I’d say that’s an exponential return on investment.
Sit Means Sit offers open-enrollment puppy classes that begin most weeks, depending on availability. Classes fill up quickly, often booking several weeks in advance, with a maximum of 10 puppies per session.
CLASS SCHEDULE:
• Monday & Wednesday evenings – 7:00 PM
• Wednesday afternoons – 2:00 PM
• Saturday mornings – 9:00 AM

Street SOUTH SKATESHOP
How one couple turned a dream into a neighborhood legacy.
ARTICLE BY JENNIFER LEE

JESSICA SNOW PHOTOGRAPHY
Located in the heart of downtown Rochester, South Street Skateshop has been the home of skateboarding culture and creative spirit for over 20 years. Founded by Von and Linda Gallaher, the couple has built more than just a business — they’ve cultivated a beautiful community of skaters, artists, and creatives of all ages. After two decades of
dedication, the Gallahers are now realizing their long-held dream: the construction of a state-ofthe-art outdoor skate park.
Their journey first began in 2005 when the Gallahers opened the original South Street Skatepark. Driven by a desire to have a unique space for their own kids and neighborhood kids alike, they aimed to create a skate park where local kids could come together, learn new skills, and simply enjoy being kids. As the park grew in popularity, it eventually outgrew its original location. In 2009, the couple relocated to Main Street, but their dream didn’t stop there. When the original skate park closed, they continued to envision a place where kids could continue to fall in love with the skateboard culture, and have it be supported by their local community.
The creation of the park, however, hasn't been easy. It’s taken 12 years of planning, hard work, and perseverance to get to this point. Von and Linda faced numerous challenges, including securing funding, location, and addressing logistical hurdles. But their unwavering commitment to the local youth, the promises they made to create an even better park, and love for skateboarding only fueled their determination.
Now, after years of careful planning and support from their local community, the outdoor skate park is finally on the horizon. To bring their vision
to life, the Gallahers have partnered with Spohn Ranch, a skate park construction company based in California, and known for their exceptional craftsmanship. Spohn Ranch, alongside the Gallahers and the community, will create a park that will cater to skaters of all levels, from beginners to seasoned professionals, and will serve as an exciting addition to the neighborhood.
Beyond the skate park, the Gallahers have consistently worked to foster creativity and inclusivity within the community. One of their most beloved initiatives is the annual Deck Art Competition, which is celebrating its 15th year. What began as a small collaboration with a local gallery has since grown into a major event, now run by the Downtown Development Authority. Each year, local artists are invited to create unique designs on blank skateboards and members of the Paint Creek Center of the Arts community vote for their favorite. All of the designs are displayed for all to see inside of local businesses, with many artists even selling their decks with 100% of the profits going right back
to them. The competition has become a highly anticipated event, with over 450 decks showcased, offering local artists an opportunity to showcase their work while promoting skateboarding culture.
The success of the Deck Art Competition, coupled with the soon-to-be-opened skate park, exemplifies the Gallahers’ ongoing commitment to supporting the next generation of skaters and creatives. Their vision for South Street has always been about creating a space where kids can stay active, express themselves, and connect with like-minded individuals. Their ideology: “the ordinary is passé, hence distinctiveness separates the individual from the minion”.
As the Gallahers look toward the opening of the skate park later this year, they’re filled with pride, knowing their dream is finally coming true. The skate park will not only provide a much-needed space for local youth to practice their skills but also stand as a testament to the power of community support. It will be a place where

kids can feel safe, welcome, and empowered to pursue their passions.
The legacy of South Street Skateshop is built on a foundation of love for skateboarding, community, and creativity. From the shop to the Deck Art Competition and the upcoming skate park, Von and Linda Gallaher continue to inspire and uplift the people of Rochester. "Rochester is our home and the city that we love. We are deeply invested in the well-being of Rochester and the surrounding communities; and we want to continue to see this area thrive. Serving Rochester has provided us with a sense of purpose and belonging. In addition, it’s gratifying to know that we are contributing to the economic and social well-being of families in our community."
Their dream is becoming a reality, and the future of the city’s skateboarding scene has never looked more cool.
Deck art is currently open for registration through April 11th. Artwork is due April 14 - April 25 to the Rochester DDA’s Downtown Collaboration Studio (431 S. Main Street). Artists will find their deck art location on May 15 & 16, and display runs through May 23rd.
South Street is located at: 410 South Main Street Rochester, MI 48307. They can be reached at 248651-0555 or by visiting https://www.southstreeton main.com.
(A little note to our readers...Von and Linda are currently in their third house on the same block in Rochester. Needless to say, they really love this little town.)
85 YEARS of Independence
The Legacy of Leader Dogs for the Blind
ARTICLE BY SHAUNA OLIVERIO | PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SNOW PHOTOGRAPHY
This year marks a century since Helen Keller’s powerful challenge to Lions Clubs International, urging them to become “knights of the blind.” That call to action led to the creation of Leader Dogs for the Blind 85 years ago, right here in Rochester Hills. What began as a small farmhouse operation on an apple orchard has since grown into one of the world’s largest organizations providing guide dogs and mobility training for people who are blind or visually impaired. Leader Dog’s mission has always been about more than just training exceptional guide dogs, it’s about restoring independence, breaking barriers, and fostering an inclusive world. With clients arriving from across the United States and beyond, this organization continues to provide life-changing services at no cost, thanks to the unwavering support of volunteers, donors, and the greater Rochester community.
The guide dog training program, which lasts three weeks, offers a comprehensive, immersive experience akin to a small university. Clients stay in a residential facility, have private rooms, receive meals from a dedicated culinary team, and train with their guide dogs in controlled and real-world environments. “We want people to come to a place that is really a sanctuary where they can focus on their training with their guide dog or cane and work on gaining the mobility skills they need to go into the world”, says Melissa Weisse, CEO of Leader Dogs for the Blind. “Many people have little access to services in their home communities and this is the place where they’re coming to get their first introduction to cane training and mobility.”

Twenty years ago, Leader Dogs for the Blind expanded its services to include orientation and mobility training using the white cane. The organization now serves over 200 people annually with this program, offering an alternative for those who choose not to work with a guide dog.
“We aim to serve the whole person,” Weisse states. “Not every environment is suitable for a guide dog and we are proud to be the only organization in the U.S. to offer such an extensive white cane training program.” In addition, Leader Dogs for the Blind recently introduced a psychosocial support program to help clients cope with the emotional challenges of vision loss or the transition of retiring a beloved Leader Dog. “There’s a lot of grief and trauma associated with losing one’s sight,” Weisse says. “We want to provide lifelong support to our clients, helping them navigate these changes with confidence.”
Leader Dogs for the Blind is more than a training center—it is an advocate for disability rights and inclusion. The organization actively participates in national conferences and international collaborations to promote accessibility and
WIESSE | CEO OF LEADER DOGS FOR THE BLIND
Melissa started volunteering with Leader Dog 20 years ago, “Through volunteering at Leader Dog, my life was changed because you're part of this community and this culture that's a force for good. It's a very unique culture, from the puppy raisers that are fostering dogs to the 1000 volunteers, I felt I was part of something so meaningful.”
MELISSA
“This work is about social justice, inclusion, and making the world more accessible for everyone. Rochester Hills is not just our home—it’s the heart of this movement.” -Melissa Weisse
independence for people who are blind or have low vision. “As part of the American Foundation for the Blind, I work to ensure that our clients have a voice at every table,” Weisse explains. “We want people with disabilities to have access to education, employment, and community spaces.”
The process of matching clients with Leader Dogs is thorough and personalized. Applicants must submit a video demonstrating how they navigate their home environment and surrounding area, alongside reference letters and a doctor’s note. Once accepted, Leader Dog’s staff carefully analyze the applicant’s needs and match them with a dog suited to their environment and mobility requirements.
Once paired, the dog undergoes four months of training before being introduced to the client during their three-week immersive class, where they live and train together on campus in Rochester Hills. After training, a field rep team follows up with clients across the country to support their transition back home. “My first dog was like a big Cadillac, slower, smoother. Caius is like a Porsche, fast and nimble. He’s exactly what I want and need now. I couldn’t be happier with him,” Says Greg I. with Leader Dog, Caius.
Leader Dogs for the Blind operates its own breeding program, ensuring that each dog possesses the ideal temperament and traits for guide work. With three full-time veterinarians, including a theriogenologist specializing in animal reproduction, the organization meticulously selects breeding pairs to produce confident, intelligent, and adaptable Leader Dogs.
“We start from pre-birth, analyzing genetics and inheritable traits to develop the best guide dogs,” Weisse explains.
CONTINUED >
The puppy raiser community is the heart of Leader Dogs for the Blind, providing love, structure, and foundational training to prepare young dogs for their future as guide dogs. These volunteers play a vital role in shaping dogs capable of guiding individuals who are blind or visually impaired. Raising a Leader Dog is a significant but deeply fulfilling commitment. As Melissa Weisse shares, “We all know that volunteerism adds to your quality of life, belonging to a community and something greater than yourself.” For many, it becomes a lifetime of service, with some raisers dedicating themselves to raising over 50 puppies.
As Leader Dogs for the Blind marks 85 years, it remains committed to growth, inclusion, and accessibility. With over 1,000 volunteers, its impact extends far beyond Rochester.
“We’re always looking for new puppy raisers, volunteers, and community partners,” says Weisse. “This work is about social justice, inclusion, and making the world more accessible for everyone. Rochester Hills is not just our home—it’s the heart of this movement.”
With every puppy raised, guide dog placed, and client served, Leader Dog continues to fulfill Helen Keller’s vision, empowering people to live independently and confidently in a sighted world. From puppy raisers to instructors, Leader Dog stands as a testament to the power of collective compassion and commitment.
Leader Dog is always looking for on-campus volunteers, puppy raisers, breeding hosts, and volunteer drivers. You can also host fundraisers or school events to support their mission. Getting involved means empowering people who are blind or visually impaired and advocating for disability rights and inclusion. Join Leader Dog and make a difference!
Breadless
FOOD SHOULD FUEL YOUR POTENTIAL
We built our Breadless concept from the ground up in Detroit, guided by a mission to bring fresh, healthy and accessible food to our city and beyond. While we are not currently a franchise, we are actively exploring opportunities for expansion in a way that stays true to our values. Our goal is to take a big idea and keep it grounded in a community-oriented approach, ensuring that as we grow, we continue to innovate, stay authentic and personally connect to our customers.
ARTICLE BY MARC HOWLAND, LATRESHA HOWLAND, RYAN ELI SALTER & JACOB SERWER PHOTOGRAPHY BY JESSICA SNOW PHOTOGRAPHY
Breadless was founded by Marc Howland, La Tresha (LC) Howland, and Ryan Eli Slater to redefine fast, nutritious meals. Marc, a former Ivy League athlete and finance professional, struggled to find convenient, nourishing food that provided sustained energy. LC and Ryan, with strong business and marketing backgrounds, shared his vision. Inspired by Marc’s need for fueling meals during his athletic career at Brown University and later as a finance professional, working long hours in a fast paced environment, they saw a need for healthy satisfying food on the go, and that sparked the journey of Breadless—replacing bread with leafy greens to offer flavorful, nutrient-rich options. Their mission: to ensure no one has to choose between great taste and great fuel.
At Breadless we believe food is fuel. The philosophy is woven into every aspect of our menu, operations, and customer experience. We cook exclusively with 100% pure and sustainably sourced avocado oil. From our signature sandwiches wrapped in nutrient packed greens to our protein rich power bowls and fresh salads, we create meals that energize and sustain.
We designed our menu to be bold and flavorful in a way that caters to a wide range of dietary needs. Whether someone is gluten-free, Paleo, vegetarian, or simply looking for a nutritious meal, Breadless offers options that fit their lifestyle. Our commitment to inclusivity means providing meals that are both accommodating and crave worthy. Our signature leafy greens – Swiss chard, collards, and romaine – are carefully selected for their taste texture and nutritional benefits. We source the freshest greens, wash them thoroughly, and prepare them in a way that enhances their natural flavors while maintaining their crispness to ensure that every sandwich is not just healthy, but it’s also a delight to eat.
The Rochester Hills community has embraced Breadless with enthusiasm. Customers appreciate having a convenient, nutritious dining option that aligns with their health conscious lifestyles. One customer recently shared, “Breadless provides food that will change your life!”
We have built strong ties in Rochester Hills, where we’ve hosted fundraisers and drives for Rochester community schools, local sports teams, and the Neighborhood House. Our dedication to education extends beyond food – we’ve taught more than a dozen classes on marketing, business, accounting,

and entrepreneurship at Rochester, Adams, Stoney Creek and Oakland University. We also support local athletics, sponsoring teams like Rochester and Adams varsity dance team, Adams men’s lacrosse, Oakland Men’s Club Football, and the Rochester School Of Dance.
Being named one of FastCasual’s Top 20 Fast Casual Brands to Watch is an incredible honor and validation of our mission. It highlights the growing demand for nutritious, fast–casual dining, and reinforces our commitment to changing the way people think about food. This recognition fuels our passion to continue innovating and expanding.
As Breadless grows, staying connected to our Detroit roots remains a top priority. We actively support local events, collaborate with community organizations, and participate in initiatives that promote wellness and nutrition. Our partnership with the Detroit Tigers and our presence at Little Caesars Arena allows us to bring healthy eating to a larger audience while reinforcing our commitment to the local community.
Beyond our restaurant locations, we’re also expanding our catering services – delivering bold, fresh meals, that fuel productivity, and leave teams feeling great. Breadless catering is perfect for corporate events, lunch and learns, team gatherings, birthdays, and celebrations of all sizes.
The future of Breadless is bright! We’re expanding our reach, bringing our nutrient-rich meals, to more communities, and redefining what fast-casual, health-conscious dining can be. With new locations on the horizon, innovative menu, offerings, development, and exciting partnerships, underway, this is just the beginning. No matter how much we grow, our mission remains the same: to empower people with food that fuels their potential.

5. Line a full sheet pan with aluminum foil and place a wire rack over the foil.
6. Using tongs, lay the sweet potato slices on the rack in a single layer (slices can touch but should not overlap).
7. Roast for 10-12 minutes, until the slices are tender enough to be pierced with a knife and have slightly crispy, browned edges.
8. Let the slices cool slightly before assembling the sandwiches.
