Communities honored as Main Street Oakland County celebrates 10 years
Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson will honor and recognize nine Main Street Oakland County (MSOC) members for their accreditation by the National Main Street Center in Washington D.C.—the most ever in the MSOC program—and detail investment that totals more than half a billion dollars in the first decade.
The celebration is set for 9 a.m. on Thursday, Feb. 18, at the Crofoot Ballroom, 1 S. Saginaw in Pontiac. The communities being honored are: Farmington, Ferndale, Highland, Holly, Lake Orion, Ortonville, Oxford, Rochester and Walled Lake.
Patterson will present a representative from each of the nine MSOC communities with a plaque honoring them for their accomplishment and detail investment that totals more than half a billion dollars in its first decade.
Kathy LaPlante, a representative from the National Main Street Center in Washington D.C. will be on hand for the presentation. County commissioners and local officials from each of the communities have been invited to attend as well as the Walled Lake Western Marching Band, the Oakland University Pom-pom squad and the OU mascot, the Griz.
Main Street is a trademarked program of the National Main Street Center in Washington, D.C. Farmington, Ferndale, Franklin, Highland, Holly, Lake Orion, Ortonville, Oxford, Pontiac, Rochester and Walled Lake are MSOC communities. Berkley, Clarkston, Clawson, Hazel Park, Leonard, South Lyon and Waterford participate in the mentoring program.
Oakland County was the first county in the United States to operate a full fledged county-wide Main Street program for the 32 distinct, historic downtowns in Oakland County. The county program was formed in 2000.

Apology, attending church keep teen out of jail
ADRIAN, Mich. (AP) — Go to jail or go to church.
Given that choice by a Lenawee County judge, a Tecumseh teenager who pleaded guilty to trying to break into a church opted for the latter.
Circuit Judge Timothy Pickard told 17-year-old Dylan Patrick Karle last month that he could avoid jail if he would apologize to the congregation of the United Methodist Church in Tecumseh and attend services there for three Sundays.
Karle, who is a member of the church, promptly accepted Pickard’s offer. The judge also placed Karle on probation, but his felony conviction will be expunged if he stays out of trouble for three years.
Karle was among several juveniles arrested Sept. 27 while trying to break into the church in the town.
