HOME FURNITURE

While holi-day shopping don’t hesitate to check out what a fine gift a piece of furniture might be. @Home has a variety of cheval mirrors

with or without sliding jewelry compartments. We also carry free standing and wall hanging versions. A cheval mirror tells your sweet-heart she is beautiful to look at. We also carry many other jewelry boxes. You can’t go wrong with a purchase of one. When furnishing a home, there can be an overwhelming urge to rush out to the nearest chain store and blow your budget outfitting the entire place. Resist that temptation. As difficult as it may be, pace yourself. Spending more time to search out better quality items now, will pay off later. Instead of using your budget on items that will fall apart, invest in

quality items that you can use for many years to come. We work with you to make sure you get the quality and personalization that ensures your home will be both beautiful and timeless. We have the largest selec-tion of bench built furniture in Rochester. Here @Home custom orders are the norm, rather than the exception. So our customers are likely to have questions such as….. “Can we get it in a different color?” “Can this be ordered in a different type of wood?” “We like this, but is there any way to get it taller, wider, deeper and etc.?” The answer to all those questions is a simple yes. The next time you are strolling downtown to take in the Christ-mas lights, the giant gingerbread house, or walking off a great meal please come in to enjoy the smell of fresh cut lumber, see our unique designs and feel the silky smooth finish that we are so well known to deliver.

Letter from the

It’s hard to believe that it is almost time to flip the switch on the 11th season of The Big, Bright Light Show. It has been a very busy year downtown welcoming new businesses, introducing new events and most importantly,

talking about vision. In April, we engaged members of the greater Rochester community through the Downtown Rochester Visioning Session to talk about our favorite topic - downtown. The group included a wide variety of attendees including residents, property owners, business owners, community organizations, elected officials, DDA & PSD board members, volunteers and students. Our goal in hosting this event was to gather information about what people like about downtown, what they would like to see downtown, and any challenges or opportunities they see for our community. To say that the event was successful would be an understatement. I’ve had the pleasure of being involved with downtown for many years and I would easily say that the Visioning Session was one of my “Top 5” moments. Why? It was humbling to have so many passionate, talented people take time out of their lives to spend an evening with us talking about the future of downtown. People were engaged, enthusiastic and eager to share their ideas for downtown. Our moderator, downtown revitalization expert and author, Ron Drake challenged the group to go beyond problem solving and to dream about what downtown could be. And they did exactly that, and produced pages upon pages of thoughts and ideas. While the ideas were many, several common themes emerged including the desire for more specialty retail, a year-round Farmers’ Market, entertainment options, gathering spaces, and connections to our trails and waterways. It was clear that people love downtown, and would like more reasons to come here. So where do we go from here? The DDA is leading the charge, along with our great partners in the City Council, City Administration, Planning Commission and the PSD to mine the data and create action plans to not only bring some of these ideas to fruition, but to also call attention to many of the items that are already happening in downtown today. I’ve said it before, and I’m sure I’ll say it again, Rochester is a very special place and we are so very fortunate to have the support of our greater community. Downtown Rochester is vibrant, and our goal for the future is to not only maintain that vibrancy, but to respond to the needs of our growing community. I look forward to keeping up updated on our progress! See you downtown!

IN THE KITCHEN WITH…

As the Executive Chef at Chapman House, Chef Christopher Cason’s extensive experience

includes a degree from the Culinary Institute of America, and more than a decade spent developing menus and working in kitchens at notable restaurants in Chicago and his hometown of Detroit. Chef Christopher’s culinary career began with his first true restaurant job working at Bill Robert’s Streetside Seafood in Birmingham, Michigan under Chef Sharon Juergens. Christopher moved on to work as a stagiaire at Cafe Boulud under Andrew Carmelini, and at an internship under James Beard award-winning chef Takashi Yagihashi at Tribute in Farmington Hills. From there, he moved with Chef Takashi to open Michelin-starred Takashi in Chicago, serving as the Poissonier. He ultimately moved back to Michigan with his family, and has since had experience at a number of local restaurants, including Michael Symon’s Roast. According to Chef Christopher, the most interesting and important part of his job is sourcing the food and knowing the origins of each ingredient. Whether it’s how and where the tomatoes were grown or exactly where the cows were born and how they were raised, he believes that the hallmark of a great chef is one that creates fresh, memorable meals for every guest. His focus is to use the foundations and traditions of French cooking to showcase Michigan ingredients through inspired flavor profiles using traditional and modern cooking techniques.

There are few better ways to enjoy the snow and cold in Michigan than by attending the Rochester Fire & Ice Festival. Celebrating its 10th year, the festival is one of the premier winter events in the Midwest, attracting more than 50,000 people for a weekend of fun.

This year’s Fire & Ice Festival is set for Jan. 20–22, 2017 at East Water and Third Streets in Downtown Rochester. Festival hours are:

Friday, Jan. 20 5 p.m. – 9 p.m.

Saturday, Jan. 21 10 a.m. – 9 p.m.

Sunday, Jan. 22 11 a.m. – 5 p.m.

“The Rochester Fire & Ice Festival is a premier winter festival the whole family can enjoy,” Oakland County Executive L. Brooks Patterson said. “There are great outdoor activities from a tubing hill to ice skating to dog sled rides and all activities are free. Our collegiate ice carving competition is back for a second year, making incredible sculptures right before your eyes. Plus, the festival’s delicious food, entertainment and fireworks are unmatched. No one offers winter festival like this.”

Festival fans can experience activities for all ages (weather permitting) including ice skating, a tubing hill, dog sled rides (Saturday and Sunday only), cross-country skiing and snow shoeing. Attendees can also enjoy their favorites including “The Big, Bright Light Show,” a taste fest and beer tent and dozens of ice sculptures lining Main Street. The ice sculpture theme this year is music.

The Rochester Fire Department hosts a spaghetti dinner Friday and Saturday night and a pancake breakfast Saturday and Sunday morning to raise funds for Rochester Area Youth Assistance.

Returning for its fourth year is The Brooksie Way’s “Chill at the Mills” 5k race on Sunday, Jan. 22 at 9:30 a.m. More than 800 participants ran or walked the race in 2016 and this year’s race is

expected to be even bigger. Register to run or walk the race at TheBrooksieWay.com. A festival favorite is the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Center, which features dogs for adoption as well as dog licenses for sale.

Preparation for the Fire & Ice Festival is already underway. The festival is a joint effort between The Rochester Fire & Ice Festival Committee, Oakland County, Oakland County Parks and Recreation, the City of Rochester and Downtown Rochester. In addition, such an event wouldn’t be possible without the help of hundreds of volunteers and generous sponsors.

“Thousands come out every year to take advantage of the free admission at the best winter festival in the area,” said J. David VanderVeen, Fire & Ice chairperson and director of central services for Oakland County. “It’s all made possible by hundreds of volunteers and generous sponsors who love making the festival a great experience for everyone.”

More information will become available in the coming months.

The roots of the Rochester Fire Department date back to 1880, when the first 50 rubber

buckets and assorted ladders were approved by the Village Council at a cost not to exceed $150.00. They were purchased and put in service July 29, 1880 for the use of the general public. On May 25, 1885 a meeting was held Hotel St. James, which is now at the corner of Main and University. The meeting lasted several hours and at the end the Rochester Fire Department was born and the call for volunteers was made to the local community. Within a few weeks, the fire department had over 20 volunteers. On June 3, 1885 the Village Council made the first purchase for the fire department that included 800 feet of hose, and two hose carts and other supplies at an approved cost of $545.00. This equipment was first stored at the Municipal building and pulled by hand to the fire location. The equipment was hand-drawn to help save the on the expenses of horses, a stable and feed. As more equipment was purchased, the storage location changed to safely house the equipment used for fighting fires. In 1930, the equipment was located in the West Alley and Fourth Street. In 1934, it was moved into a new location at East Fifth Street (now

University Drive) where it operated until it moved in 1994. The fire department operated out of this location until 2014, when Council approved major renovations for the department. The desire was to have a renovated fire station that provided a much needed expansion but also have the appearance to have always been present in the historic downtown. Construction on the new building began in the summer of 2014. Not only did the contractors work on the renovations, but all of the firefighters pitched in to help! Demolition was a natural fit for the firefighters so they worked on the parts of the old station that were being removed and redone. The new building was completed in spring 2015 and it now provides necessary additional space for equipment and a state-of-the-art training classroom that does is also used as a community room. The Rochester Fire Department is very proud to serve the residents of Rochester and the visitors that come to our city. The fire department is made up of 40 highly trained men and women. These firefighters and emergency medical technicians are paid on call. Each of them has

a job and a family. When an emergency happens, they respond to the fire station and then to the location of the emergency. The firefighters respond to an average of 1,750 calls for service each year, including medical emergencies, fire emergencies, false alarms,

citizen assist and hazardous conditions. In addition, there is a group of firefighters who are skilled in technical rescue skills. They would respond to specialized rescues when people are trapped in collapsed buildings or have been trapped on construction sites. The fire department is assisted by the Citizens Emergency Response Teams (CERT). This group is made up of residents who have volunteered to help out in the event of a large emergency or a public event. In 2014, our CERT team was awarded the best in Michigan. The fire department has always been an integrated part of the community. They are proud sponsors of fundraisers for local organizations like RAYA and Rainbow Connection. The largest of the fundraisers that the firefighters participate in is the annual paper sale that benefits the Food Pantry. Over the last 20 years, the fire department has donated over $250,000.00. The firefighters take pride in giving back to the community that has been so very generous in supporting the fire department for more than 100 years. If you have interest in serving as a paid on call firefighter, an emergency medical technician, or would like to learn more about emergency preparedness please contact the fire department at 248-651-4470.
