Be our Guest

This magazine is for you. For the people and businesses surrounding US 23 and I-96.: Livingston, North Oakland, and Washtenaw counties. We are giving you a map to live life to the fullest, because in case you haven’t noticed we are now on the map. People travel from far and wide to visit our little towns to eat, drink and be merry. This map will include a nightlife guide, a daylife guide, a weekend guide, and a happy hour guide.

Welcome to 23|96 Monthly. The concept behind this magazine is simple. Grow our local economy by informing the consumers in this area. Along the 23|96 corridor there are over 150 bars and restaurants with amazing chefs, cool atmospheres, and terrific service. These places are owned by people that coach our kids teams, give to the com-munities, and who have a passion to bring good food, flowing spirits, outstanding service, and memorable times.

This magazine will tell great stories about the local celebrities, the hometown heroes, and the small shop own-ers. It is for the little boutique that is the best kept secret. It is for the private gym that motivates us to become a better us. It is for the artists, musicians, and comedians that keep our spirits alive. This magazine will tell great stories, review the best chefs, and scrap book the pictures of the best nights and events.

We are proud to present the first and only magazine of its kind to our communities. We saw the need to gather all the best of information in all of these little towns and spread the word. Who is playing where? Where can I sing

Red Neck Woman on a karaoke mic? Where can I play some trivia and have some wings? Who has an awe-some patio where I can catch a Tigers game? Where can I drink half off? How do get a safe ride home?

Sure Cheers is a great bar and we love going there every day to hear our names. But maybe one night your significant other will look at you and say, “Do you want to try some place new?”

Rather than frantically googling for the hotspot in town or the next town over, turn around and pick up a copy of 23|96 Monthly. It’s free and it will lead you to the good

life. And you will be the hero of the evening.

We will need help to capture all of the festivities. So if you have a passion for writing, photography, graphic design, or just give a damn about inform-

ing our community, we would like to hear from you. Hit up our page at facebook.com/2396monthly and leave a message.

So join us in celebrating our amazing community. We look forward to visiting each and every small business and

toasting to the success that collaboration will bring.

Cheers,

Joe Agius Matt Keil

The Bounty of Brighton Simply Fresh MarketStory & Photography by Alicia Buisst

Remember the days of buying fresh produce from your local produce guy? The same guy who lived in your neighbor-hood, whose kids went to school with you and who you saw in your community every week? Ok, for those of you who don’t remember those days, wouldn’t you want to buy fresh fruits, vegetables and good food from a local guy, who lives in your neighborhood and who is an active member of your community? You can. His name is Tony Gelardi. And his shop is the Simply Fresh Market.

“This is what food is. This is real food,” Tony says about his shop’s offerings.

While you might not expect to find this sort of market in Brighton (there’s that blue and maize college town a few miles south of us) you are glad that you found it – and that Tony’s at the helm. He’s a 4th generation produce guy with veggies in his veins. Tony started Ciaccio’s Produce Company; he and his brother Nick worked there through high school and college. Today, Nick is focused on Ci-accio’s wholesale business while Tony connects the produce to the public. And you’ll find mom and dad helping out at both.

Simply Fresh Market is fresh produce, grass-fed beef, free range chicken and Michigan-made products. Tony personally sources every-thing. He sees what’s grown and knows who grows it. He knows the farmers that grow the vegetables and the farmers that raise the cows. The honey he sells is made by honey bees from Hartland. The maple syrup comes from Northern Michigan maple trees. Freshly baked bread from Fenton’s Crust Bakery are stocked on Wednesday’s and Saturday’s.

So how is Simply Fresh Market different? It’s simple. Simply Fresh Market is a “seasonal” store. You’ll only find what’s fresh and in sea-son. Traverse City cherries and Michigan strawberries – you’ll find them here first and at their peak of flavor. Tony and his family want

to bring the best of Brighton to the area’s dinner tables, lunch boxes and family picnics. “You can build a dinner around what’s in season,” Tony says.

But Tony Gelardi’s passion for quality food goes beyond the shop’s four walls.

Tony contributes fresh vegetables and fruits to St. George’s Food Pantry, the only food pantry in Brighton. Many food banks stock

canned, processed and packaged foods. But Tony feels that everyone should have the opportunity to eat good, fresh foods. He would love to take the pantry to the next level, using his fresh produce to make soups and other nutritious foods for the food bank.

“I feel that people should be able to eat healthy while looking for a job, trying to get back on their feet or taking care of what they need to,” Tony says. He also has a vision of adding a concession that would offer food and healthy snacks prepared with Simply Fresh’s ingredients.

Simply Fresh Market doesn’t just sell good qual-ity products; it does good for the community. It’s

not just about local Michigan-made products; it’s also about Brigh-ton-made products. Simply Fresh Market echo’s what we know and love about our Brighton. Quality is a way of life here, and for Sim-ply Fresh Market quality is the Brighton way of doing business. Local folks, looking out for local folks.

So for dinner tonight, let’s eat local. A simply fresh dinner from Brighton, Michigan.

Simply Fresh Market is located at 9984 E. Grand River, Brighton, MI.

CELEBRATING 32 YEARS!

DUNCAN CHIROPRACTIC GROUP “Come see why we are different”

Dear Friends,

Hello! The state lottery has gotten lots of attention lately having just reached a jackpot of over $100 million and growing. Everyone in my office has caught Lottery Fever. Heck, even the staff pitched in to get some lottery tickets together. They swear even if they win, they’re not going anywhere. Yeah, right.

Free Lottery Tickets When YouCome in for an Office Visit!

I’ve purchased $200 worth of lottery tickets and am hand-ing them out, for free, to patients who come into the office between August 1st-August 31st, 2013 ONLY. This is a shameless bribe to make you come in for a much needed adjustment. I’m even giving you a very special deal on the office visit! Just $49 for an office visit plus two free lottery tickets as a gentle “kick to the rear,” to get your health taken care of. If you win the jackpot, at least pony up for a cup of coffee. Deal?

Warning: Lottery Tickets are Limited!

When they’re gone, they’re gone. I might even give you three lottery tickets when you come in, if I’m feeling generous. All that is required of you is to call my office today at 810-360-6584 and tell our staff you want to come in for the ‘Free Lottery Special.’ They’ll take it from there. Just bring this magazine with you to get the special deal and your free lottery tickets. (If you forget the magazine, just remind us about it and we’ll take care of you.)

But hurry! When they’re gone, they’re gone. Who knows… you could be Livingston County’s next millionaire.

Yours in Health,

Dr. Eric Duncan DC


A Healing Approach to a Healthier Life Story by Alicia Buisst

We’ve all experienced headaches, stomach aches or pains. But when the pain becomes chronic and doctors can’t diag-nose it, they can’t prescribe an effective treatment. So what do you do? You have to take charge of your own health. That’s why Ana Chi-arenza created A Healing Approach.

“I tried everything, and nothing worked,” Ana says of her past health issues with her digestive tract. Conventional medicine didn’t help her, so Ana searched for answers on her own. That led her to research alternative therapies. And she discovered the only one that worked: colonics.

Colonics are a cleansing of colon, used to detoxify and restore bal-ance in the body. After a series of colonics, Ana’s health improved beyond her expectations. In fact, it was a turning point in her life. She got trained in the proper procedure for administering colonics, as well as earning a degree as a naturopath and as a certified nutri-tional counselor. She started her wellness business twelve years ago in Howell, moving it to downtown Brighton in 2011.

For some, colonics can conjure up an uncomfortable image. “It’s a process,” Ana reassures. The human body is complicated. It takes time to build up toxins and so it also takes time to get rid of them. Diets rich in processed flours can result in a digestive system layered in mucoid plaque, “glutens that stick to the intestinal walls like pa-per mache,” Ana describes. This gooey layer inhibits the body from absorbing nutrients and becomes a storehouse for bacteria. Colonics help “peel away the toxins” and in so doing allow the body to help heal itself.

The colonic takes about 30-45 minutes, and involves a gentle flushing of the colon with water. Immediate benefits of colonics include less abdominal bloating, better sleep, increased metabo-lism and weight loss. One colon-ic is equal to three days of fasting (nothing but water).

In addition to colonics, Ana also offers an Ion cleanse. The Ion cleanse is a hand or foot bath that helps remove toxins from the joints and reduces inflammation. Ana began using this procedure in conjunction with colonics to help cleanse the entire body. The Ion cleanse gets one of the body’s immune engines, the lymphatic system, working better.

One of Ana’s main goals is to educate people about the benefits of colonics and how they can improve overall health. Ana cautions, “The nemesis of cleansing the digestive system is that people tend to put the bad food back in.” So diet and exercise are also key com-ponents. “Everyone is at a different starting point,” she says. Ana encourages her clients to not stop everything that they love, but to make small changes they can maintain. In her role as a nutritional counselor, Ana partners with her clients giving them options for a healthier lifestyle. A healthy body very much depends on a healthy mindset. To complement her cleansing practice, Ana is pursuing ad-vanced degrees in the social sciences.

Stress, the environment, our own heredity – all have a role in de-fining our health. Being responsible and taking care of our whole selves – inside and out – is a healthy approach to life.

The Healing Approach is located at 128 W. Main St., Brighton, MI (upstairs

in The Natural View Market). For more information contact them at

I am also a member of Phi Beta Kappa, the country’s oldest aca-demic organization. This makes me sound really stuffy until I men-tion that this society of scholars was founded at Raleigh Tavern in 1776, probably over a few pints. I mention this because I consider myself something of a beer scholar. I love beer and try to learn as much about it as I can—its history, its many styles, the process of making it, and of course the best ways to enjoy it (for example, I refuse to drink craft beer from a straightwalled pint glass if I have any say in the matter). I’m here to impart my knowledge and appre-ciation of beer upon you.

Until recently I made my living as an educator, but a guy can only wear sweater vests and turtle necks for so long before he gets an itch—the kind of itch that makes him move on to greater things. I’ve made a promise to myself to start drinking more, to write about what and where I drink, and to focus my attention on my own work, rather than that of my students. (Some of you are going to be wor-ried about those students after hearing something like that. Don’t be. I plan to tender my resignation before the start of the 2013-14 school year.)

To exercise full disclosure, I do suffer from one of beer’s most crippling side ef-fects: I have illusions about working in a brewery myself. Contrary to popular per-ceptions, brewing is not glamorous—it involves 10+ hour shifts, heavy lifting, hazardous chemicals, steam, and slippery floors. And yet this is a world I want badly to be a part of. The good news is that I was born and raised in Michigan.

Craft beer has become one of the defining products of our state. Recently, Michigan hit a major milestone: we now have over one hundred craft breweries in the state. Many of these are in Grand Rapids (vot-ed Beer City USA in 2013); Southeast Michigan/Metro Detroit has its own glut of breweries. But it seems you’ll never be too far from quality craft beer in this state, no matter where you go. Yes, even in Livingston County and the surrounding areas.

Case in point: Witch’s Hat Brewing Company in South Lyon.Knowing what I do about the space required by even small scale

craft brewing, I didn’t expect Witch’s Hat Brewing Company to be

located in a strip mall, tucked behind a Taco Bell and a Dairy Queen, a few doors down from a Chinese restaurant. Nor did I expect it to be a bring-your-own-food establishment. So when I saw a fellow patron walk in with a Jet’s pizza, I became suddenly thankful for the many dining options in the immediate area. Chinese food is not my ideal pairing for beer, but hey, that’s what my fiancé wanted.

The interior of Witch’s Hat feels homey. A small fireplace sits ad-jacent to a three-stool, wall-mounted bar above which some local art is displayed for sale. Warm, string lighting hangs beneath the main, wooden bar, the far side of which looks onto the brewery floor. The walls are adorned with rows of colorful, blown glass mugs, the prized drinking vessels of club members. Several bourbon barrels are stacked in a corner of the pub floor, imparting secondary flavors (vanilla, spice, oak) to a variety of Witch’s Hat ales that will be re-leased at a special event on August 17th.

The old adage about not wanting to “see how the sausage gets made” does not apply to brewing. Michael Jackson (the famed British

beer connoisseur, not the king of pop) once said, “there’s something about the brew-ing of beer that means that a brewery has to be beautiful.” What I saw of the brewing equipment at Witch’s Hat—the ceiling-high stainless steel conical fermenter, for exam-ple—may not have been “beautiful,” but I did like that I could see it. I would bet that many other patrons feel the same way.

The presentation of the beers was likewise appealing. A wooden tray of five, stemless snifters arranged in a flying “V” formation arrived at my table. I got right to work.

Three Körd Kölsch: Kölsch is a cold-fer-mented, German style ale from Cologne. Three Körd was true to style in that it was light in color, and only very slightly bitter,

but it was not my favorite. I am, admittedly, a bit of a Kölsch snob; at the time of this writing, I have ten gallons of homebrewed Kölsch in my basement and I think they might be just good enough for the drain to drink. So, let’s just say that any light beer drinker would easily enjoy this ale.

Train Hopper IPA: Perhaps my favorite of the Witch’s Hat brews, Train Hopper is a respectable IPA, and the brewery’s flagship ale.

Hi, my name is Steve Blake, and I brewed more beer this month than you’ll drink all year. No, seriously. I brewed 30 gallons of beer between 4 different batches on my home system within the last four weeks; the average American drinks a little over 20 gallons of suds each year. Some of you are going to be worried about me after hearing something like that. Don’t be. I give much of my beer to friends, dump my fair share down the drain (when the recipe wasn’t good enough), and yes, I even drink a few pints from time to time.

CRAFT BEERREPORT

A strong aroma of citrusy hops, an assertive bitterness, and a bit of warm alcohol to finish things off. It seems to me that your IPA is the thing you must do well to make it as a brewery; if this axiom is cor-rect, then Witch’s Hat is going to be around for a while. (Indeed, the cheerful young woman who poured my flight informed me that a move to a larger location is in the works.)

1908 Smoked Wheat: Brewed in commemoration of a fire that devastated the depot which had been the heart of South Lyon, 1908 is a tasty dark wheat ale with a hint of smoky flavor that might not be for everyone, but which will be enjoyed by fans of scotch whisky and/or bacon.

Edward’s Portly Brown: Smooth, sweet, nutty, and slightly roasty. Edward’s Portly Brown reminds me of bitter chocolate with a hint of hazelnut. More roasty than a brown ale, less roasty than a por-ter (hence, portly brown?). This is one of three, year-round offerings from Witch’s Hat, and it’s an obvious choice.

The Kipper, Scotch Ale: A strong, malty-sweet brown ale, brewed in the Scottish tradition. This style was traditionally known as “Wee-Heavy,” meaning that it was served in smaller (wee) bottles because of its high (heavy) alcohol content. A surprising hint of fruit (I detected grape) is a welcome accompaniment to an overall mouth-feel that I felt was a bit thinner/drier than is traditional for this style. I thoroughly enjoyed this unique beer and would love to sip a snifter by that fireplace once the weather cools down.

Witch’s Hat is just one of the many establishments serving excep-tional craft brews in this area. And it’s not just the local breweries themselves that you should be excited about; beer bars and other restaurants with a focus on craft beer are becoming increasingly pop-ular. It’s almost intimidating to think how many brewery specific tap takeovers, festivals, and other beer-centric events are going on at any given time. So leave the hard part to me, and you just worry about the drinking.

Cenosillicaphobia is the fear of an empty beer glass. It is believed that the Pilgrims on the Mayflower stopped at Plymouth Rock, instead of continuing on to Virginia, because they ran out of beer. One of the oldest laws was about beer. Babylonian King Hummurabi decreed that each person was to have a daily ration of beer, determined by their social status. The agricultural revolution was started because people needed a way to make more beer. Ben Franklin once said, “Beer is proof that God loves us.” The ancient Babylonians were the first to brew beer. If you made a bad batch, then your punishment was to be drowned in it. Beer commercials are not allowed to show someone drinking beer. Brewing beer was considered a very important and noble task for women. In ancient Peru, the breweries were staffed by women of the elite. The first professional brew-ers were women. Beer isn’t just a man’s drink! VikingS believed a giant goat who’s udders would supply them with an endless supply of beer was waiting for them in Valhalla “Viking heaven.”

10FUN Facts



Music is a drug. Rock’n’roll is a story. Unfortunately, in 2013, it sometimes feels as if that story is com-

ing to an end. We flip through our radio presets—Detroit rock sta-tions like 101.1, 94.7, 89X, and 9.35—but what we hear is nothing new: simply the sounds of our father’s records, cassette tapes, eight tracks, and scratched CDs on our car floors. The beautiful reverber-ations of Zeppelin, Sabbath, Metallica, Guns n’ Roses, and Nirvana are played over and over again. We play mimicked shrills of rock anthems through our car speakers wondering if something new will ever come along—something that will make us again scream at the top of our lungs, “I’m going off the rails on a crazy traaaaain...”

We search through the top tracks on Pandora and Spotify only to find pop and country rule the charts. I’m not knocking either genre as I too have my guilty pleasures—I can’t turn off Mack-lemore, and Taylor Swift has me humming, “..I’m feeling 22..”—however, neither genre scare me the way Manson or Ozzy did, or rile me up like “Ramble On” or “Back in Black.” Where is the band that drove my Mom nuts, ripping the music away when she heard it? Where is the band I don’t want my daughter around? Thank God for Jack White, The Black Keys, Foo Fighters and Kings of Leon, or I wouldn’t get excited over the release of a new rock al-bum, period. Until now.

This fall, a local band by the name of Red Stone Souls is unveil-ing something—something a little scary, a little sexy, with plenty of drugs and a whole ‘lotta love. Dirty metal blues is about to be resurrected out of a basement in Hartland, MI, with a true rock frontman, Ian Kirwan. Kirwan, singer/guitarist for the band, has the swagger of Plant, the raw vocals of Hendrix, and the guitar chops of Auerbach. The sound he and the Red Stone Souls cre-ate is psychedelic, hard, in-your-face blues rock. The Stone’s live shows leave girls screaming for more, and boyfriends wanting to kick the band’s ass. (Thankfully, Kirwan is 6’3” plus, clocking in at a little over 200lbs.) Like any good rock story, RSS have been through many breakups, musical differences, crazy drug stories, heavy drinking, and women—but most importantly, they’ve dis-covered growth through lessons learned from failed attempts.

24-year-old Kirwan, influenced by his rock star father, Jim Kirwan of Detroit’s own The Nasties, grew up learning the riffs, tones, and attitudes of 80’s Hair Metal. In 2005, Kirwan and rhythm guitarist, Beau Felix (Fenton, MI), started a garage band called Dangerous Pursuit with desire to bring back music from

the most debaucherous decade. It was almost unnatural to see a band like Dangerous Pursuit reproducing the sounds of Iron Maiden, Mot-ley Crue, and Kiss at ages 16 and 17. Adorned in long pink boas, tight leather pants, makeup, and ratted long hair, they were exceptionally good for their age. As you watched them, how-ever, there was something undeniable: Ian Kir-

wan was going to be rock star. He had the “it” factor. He had the look, the attitude, and the natural ability to make rock’n’roll look like it was the best ride on the planet... And Kirwan was riding in the front car.

Dangerous Pursuit parted ways after a few years due to some rumored drug problems, musical differences, and boredom. It was their first band, and at 17, you need to test drive a few cars before deciding which to buy. The core of the band, Felix and Kirwan (who once thought 80’s hair metal was their calling), discovered blues rock and didn’t look back. Kirwan quickly looked for re-placements, finding bass player Kevin Bernard (Clarkston, MI) on a MySpace classified ad. (That made me laugh.) They started their new project—Midnight Rendezvous. “I felt like Midnight Rendez-vous was my rebound girlfriend,” Kirwan grinned recounting the story. “I just knew I couldn’t stop, and the only thing to do was find new players and start jamming.” This is the mark in time that began defining the sound that electrifies audiences today. Dirty metal blues began erupting out of practice rooms, and those who caught their live shows were blown away. Studying the sounds of Muddy Waters, Willie Dixon, Bo Diddly, Wolfmother, The White Stripes, The Black Keys, Led Zeppelin, and Black Sabbath became their passion and addiction. Once again, a few of the members

didn’t feel the same way about the path they were headed, and the rendezvous was over before it started. But, out of the flames, The Nines were born.

In early 2011, Kirwan, Felix, and Bernard started The Nines with a new drummer, Greg Ornazian. The original music list was starting to grow and the energy was building—along with the fan base of the core trio. The Nines’ direction was clear. Orna-zian’s direction was not. Ornazian split at the end of 2011 (yes, yet another breakup with a drummer). With gigs in the books, they quickly came across drummer Travis Erikson (Clarkston, MI) who fit immediately and effortlessly. Recalling the discovery of Erikson, Kirwan laughed, “We had tried out several drummers and Travis was the best fit. He is a hard hitter with musical tastes that compliment what we were trying to do. We called him up and said, ‘We need you to get ready to play a gig!’ When Travis asked when, we replied, ‘...Tomorrow.’” Simple as that, they brought on the new drummer the next day. In order to differentiate themselves from The Nines with Greg, they changed the band name one last and final time. The first gig as the 4-piece now known as Red Stone Souls was at Mo Doggies in Fenton in late 2011.

The train hasn’t stopped since that night. RSS is now frequenting large venues such as Magic Bag Theatre, the Blind Pig, Emerald Theatre, The Loft, and The Machine Shop. They’re playing big stag-es at huge festivals—Common Ground, Stars & Stripes, and Rock-apalooza—brushing shoulders with some of the rock gods they grew up with. The crowds are getting bigger, the sound is getting larger, the party is unmatched, and the energy is infectious. The Stones have recreated the feeling of being put into a blender on high, pulled out, and smacked in the face. Fans leave their shows

smiling and excited for the chance to get intimate with the band again. After only one year, a few live demo tracks, and a handful of live shows, Red Stone Souls were recently nominated for the “Peo-ple’s Choice Award” at the Detroit Music Awards (even without an actual studio album).

RSS have been in the studio for the past two months recording and planning their first official album release slated for fall. Kir-wan says, “The people behind this album are some of the greats

from the Detroit Rock scene. We have a lot of support behind the production and the promotion. We are learning the studio tricks, but we want that vintage sound.” The official release date has yet to be announced, but the anticipation has been overwhelming. They are also planning a Midwest tour this fall and winter. The Souls are quite possibly the band of which people 10 years from now will say, “I saw them when they

were in that little club in Fenton doing flying air kicks into the crowd.”

As I lay my head down tonight, I will pray for the revival of Detroit’s rock scene, and hope the Souls are the answer to those prayers. Red Stone Souls: Please keep alive the dream you had as kids when you first picked up those strings and sticks. Carry the torch for the next generation, and prove that pre-recorded looped drum tracks and auto-tuners are a disgrace to rock music and ought to be banned. Prove that real instruments, pure talent, and drive to succeed at any cost will always rule. I will be following the Souls show to show with my devil-horned fists raised high in the air, screaming, “Sun don’t shine on you!” (one of their most rocking demo tracks).

Michael Glenn Monroe Story by Colleen Monroe

Need a Sculpture? Want to convert and old storage building into an interactive Nature Center for kids? How about some illus-trations for a children’s book or a brochure for the White House? What about a photorealistic painting of Michigan wildlife, got any idea who might be able to help you there? Actually Brighton is home to one amazing artist who can do all that and more, Michael Glenn Monroe. Always curious, Michael doesn’t let the fact that he might never have done something stop him.

Born and raised in the City of Brighton, Michael began his career at a young age by convincing his mom that one of his school projects would be a marketable product. It was a poster of animals that he had drawn in the shape of the alphabet. He managed to return her investment and parlay the profits into several more printings and additional projects. And so began the career of one of Michigan’s most popular Wildlife Artists.

Winner of many competitions including MUCC Wildlife Artist of the Year and the Michigan Duck Stamp, with his photo realis-tic renderings, Michael doesn’t just lend his talents to painting. He feels strongly about giving back to the community where he lives. He spends time working with the Howell Nature Center where import-ant work is done rehabilitating wildlife that has been injured or mis-takenly removed from nests and dens. Last year Michael spent the entire summer renovating what was an old, unused building in to a hand- on interactive center for visitors to the Nature Center. Upon entering the building visitors are first greeted by a mural, painted by Michael, which depicts a woodland water scene, complete with birds and wildlife that someone might see in nature. Wandering around the room there are interactive drawing stations for kids and a live animal exhibit. The highlight of the building is the babbling brook that leads to the pond in the center of the room. A little bridge span-ning the brook gives the viewer an up-close look at the turtles and fish that call the indoor pond home. This was truly a labor of love for Michael as he feels strongly that kids do not get enough chances to come up close and personal with nature.

The Howell Nature Center is also home to Michael’s first sculp-ture, The Sharing Tree. Built in 2009, it was Michael’s entry into Art Prize, an art competition that draws artists from around the world because of its $250,000 grand prize. Michael placed in the top 20 out of almost 1300 artists. While an impressive feat in itself, he will probably be most remembered for having the sculpture destroyed by a fire during its initial installation. Michael refused to give up and returned home with the burned remains. He was able to rebuild it and reinstall it back into the competition in less than a week.

Michael’s work resides in collections around the world and one such collector called him out of the blue one day to offer him a unique opportunity. First Lady Laura Bush was pondering the White House Decorations when she went to her book shelf for inspiration. There she found two of Michael’s popular Children’s books that he illustrat-

ed; A Wish to be a Christmas Tree and L is for the Last Frontier. After looking through them she decided to decorate the White House to honor the National Parks. Because she admired his painting style she asked Michael to paint the booklet given to all visitors to the White House during the holidays. He was invited to visit to photo-graph and work with the First Lady and her staff as they planned the decorations. He returned to his studio in Brighton to put their ideas on canvas for the booklet long before the decorations were even in place. He was relieved when he went back around the holidays and to see that the booklet and the decorations matched.

Michael’s extensive collection of Children’s books that he has il-lustrated has allowed him to tap in to his whimsical side. Creating characters such as Buzzy the Bumblebee or old Mr. Rabbit gives him a chance to be imaginative and it frees him up from his normal photo-realistic painting style. With 26 books under his belt so far Michael is hoping to make it 27 by this fall with the publishing of his newest title, Michigan, the Great Lake State. Again working with his wife, this book will offer the history of Michigan, teaching kids interesting facts about the Mitten state. He will be self-publishing it through his company, Storytime Press. Self-publishing allows for greater creative control which Michael enjoys.

Summer Art Shows are in full swing in Michigan now so you might happen upon Michael and his work somewhere along the way. Stop in and say hello, and if you have a unique project and can’t find anyone to create it for you just ask Michael Glenn Monroe. He might never have done it before but he never lets that stop him.

Lyndsey Coleman, Rocking Radio Story by Amy Johnson

After a late stay at work waiting for big news to drop from the rock band Pearl Jam, and before attending a promotional event at Dool-ey’s in Roseville, Lyndsey Coleman, of Brighton, asked a Starbucks barista for a drink made with raspberry and mocha. “I’m not exactly sure what I ordered,” she said as she sat at the table and sipped on her frozen concoction.

On this hot July evening, 22-year-old Coleman radiated coolness and an es-sence of rock with the pink highlights in her dark hair and a pair of studded blue jeans. She no doubt had the look of a RIFF Rock Girl.

The RIFF Rock Girl competition, an annual talent search put on by Detroit radio station, 101 WRIF, provides girls 21 and older with the opportunity to win a year long, on-air gig, including a $40,000 salary with the station, something not easy to obtain.

“Radio is so hard to get into,” said Coleman, who had previously worked as a promotional intern for Clear Channel Media in North Carolina. “Even if I didn’t have a spot with WRIF next year, I’ll have the experience to put on my resume,” she said.

While radio is a passion of Coleman’s, she would someday like a career in writing and blogging. “I’ve always been a writer,” she said, and now as the 2013 RIFF Rock Girl, she has the opportunity to write and record her own daily rock news report, which airs at 2:00PM, 6:00PM, and 8:00PM each weekday. “It’s only sixty seconds, but it’s my sixty seconds,” said the Rock Girl, proudly.

Coleman earned her title as the Rock Girl this past June. After an initial audi-tion process, which took into consideration 35% personality, 40% presentation, and 25% speaking ability, 32 girls were chosen to advance into the competition, preceded by weeks of eliminations by online and text voting.

“Some days were different than others,” said Coleman in regards to her as-surance that she would win the title. “Some days I thought, I have this in the bag, but from top 16 to top 8, I was thinking, I’m not going to make it.” Despite her fluctuating confidence, Coleman endured the competition until the very


end. “As soon as I made it to the top 4, I was like, I’ve come this far. I’m go-ing to take it,” and that is exactly what she did.

In a final crowning that took place at the Detroit Hard Rock Café, Cole-man strutted across the stage in her bikini, showed off her talent by bong-ing two beers at once, slid by in the rock trivia portion, and gave a win-ning explanation as to why she de-served to be the 2013 RIFF Rock Girl, stating, “I should be a RIFF Rock Girl because I’m real. This is it. I’m not try-ing to be anyone I’m not.” She contin-ued, “I love who I am. I love my body, my mind. I can bring a lot to this company. I’ve got substance behind my pretty face. I’m hardworking, I’m driven, and I love music. I love radio. It’s a passion of mine, and I would love to be given the opportunity to work with WRIF.”

Along the way, it has always been important for Coleman to be viewed as more than just a pretty face representing the station. Of course, she had to be comfortable with the camera, as the final 4 received a trip to Puerto Vallarta for a two-day beach and poolside photo shoot. Additionally, after winning the title, she had to pose for more than one thousand photos in a 12-hour long shoot in downtown Detroit, but while beauty certainly plays a part in obtaining the Rock Girl position, Coleman continually tries to keep the spotlight on who she is as a person behind the rocker look—a humorous, intelligent, and driven young woman.

While the journey has just begun, Coleman has already experienced some unforgettable moments. The highlight so far for the Rock Girl was getting to attend Metallica’s sound check before they performed at Orion Music Festival in Detroit, in addition to seeing her name on the marquis at The Fillmore, which read, “Congrats to 2013 RIFF Rock Girl Lyndsey.”

“I could have died,” said Coleman. “There’s been some bad ass people in there.”

Coleman claimed that the year had been good to her overall as she rolled up her sleeve to reveal an autograph by pop singer, Pink, which

she had tattooed over after the artist signed her arm at a recent concert. “The guys at the station say they’re go-ing to put ‘Floyd’ under it,” laughed Coleman, who is not discriminatory to any type of music.

“I’m not going to lie, I’ll lis-ten to reggae,” said Coleman. “I was listening to Rihanna on the way here. I’ll even lis-ten to country,” but in true Rock Girl fashion, an electric guitar and a good beat on the drum set will always catch Coleman’s ear. “Rock music is so hard-core and true,” she said. “I can’t listen to radio unless it’s WRIF, to be honest.” Luckily for Coleman, her future is sure to involve, not only a lot of WRIF radio, but also the ability to contribute to the station through her talents in writing and love for rock.

“Rock music is so hard-core

and true. I can’t listen to radio

unless it’s WRIF, to be honest.”
