Story by David Wesley

On Sunday, May 31 from 6:30 P.M. to 8:30 P.M., Affirmations will host The Transgender Day of Empowerment. It’s an annual event not only to raise awareness and educate on transgender identification and other issues, but to also to empower transgender people in and around the community, in Ferndale and beyond. Transgender Day of Empowerment is a day about by boldly asking what trans people and their allies can do differently, through actions and attitudes, to help create more empathy and understanding, rather than focusing on, and surrendering to, what others do to deny total equality.

A broad panel of colorful organizers comes together every year to help arrange the event, ranging from representatives of nonprofits such as KICK (The Agency for Lesbian, Gay, Bi and Transgender African- Americans) to volunteers from schools such as Oakland University.

“This day is to empower the transgender community, to show that we are human beings and this is our day,” says Michelle Fox-Phillips, executive director of Transgender Detroit.

Organizers predict the day will succeed in its goal, empowering the transgender community and its allies. The reception of the community members was well received at last year’s event in Ferndale and demonstrated that, as Fox-Phillips put it: “The Ferndale community is very transgender-friendly.”

In 1865, a group of former slaves in Charleston, South Carolina honored the Union soldiers who died fighting for their freedom, moving them from a mass grave to a proper burial ground. In 1868, Memorial Day officially became the time to remember the fallen Civil War soldiers. Originally called “Decoration Day” because families walked to the cemeteries and decorated the graves of the soldiers, today some think of it as a three-day weekend or the unofficial start of summer. The Ferndale Memorial Association makes sure that all involved remember. Barbara Earle, Director of the FMA, says: “We honor not only those who died in war, but those who came back and rejoined their community.”

In 1919, Ferndale held its first Memorial Day parade. It is the oldest continuous Memorial Day parade in Michigan. It ” doesn’t have clowns or candy.” A different veteran serves as marshal each year. School bands participate, as do local Boy Scout and Girl Scout troops. Children decorate their bicycles with patriotic colors and pictures and ride in the parade, which starts at 10:00 A.M. A ceremony at the Memorial across from the Ferndale Fire Department begins at 11:00 A.M. with the reading of the

“Honor Roll” (the names of veterans from Ferndale, Pleasant Ridge and Oak Park), then Barbara slips the paper with their names into the niche at the Memorial. The flag goes up at noon.

Barbara Earle has worked with the Memorial Association for 42 years. Her father (a WWII Marine who served in the Pacific Theater) was president of the Association then, and needed an assistant. She is proud of their work and the fact that they make sure that there is a “proper observance of any patriotic holiday” in Ferndale.

I also met some folks who are part of the “Michigan Fallen Foot Float.” Participants from a number of Michigan counties walk silently, carrying photographs of those who gave their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan. We discussed the emotion involved in this event. “Hornet’s Nest,” a documentary about our soldiers in Afghanistan, will be shown at the Ferndale Library on May 12 and 19.

No one I spoke with talked politics. Ed Allison says, “The politics of war have nothing to do with the death of our people.” Everyone I reached out to spoke with such sincerity, conviction and respect. It was very moving. Barbara Earle: “We take a few minutes to stop and honor the soldiers for their sacrifice and then enjoy the freedom they fought for.”

At the end of the day, we can only hope to be remembered for our kindness, our bravery, our willingness to put others first. At the Memorial Day Parade and ceremony in Ferndale, a grateful community gathers to show our veterans that they will never be forgotten.

Memorial Day is Monday, May 25.

For more information about the Ferndale Memorial Day parade, or if you wish to volunteer, please call (248) 546-1632, e- mail ferndalefootfloat@gmail.com or go to www.ferndalemi.gov.

In celebration of the craft beer industry, Ultimate Fun Productions and Metro Times are pleased to announce another installment to the Royal Oak Beer Fest series – Summer Beer Fest – to be held in downtown Ferndale on Saturday, June 20. An all day festival, featuring multiple local retail vendors, food vendors and beverage companies, the event begins at noon and continues until 11:00 P.M. Admission into the festival will only cost attendees $10.

Benefiting Handy Hearts, the event will be an amazing experience in taste and sound including hot music to compliment cool brews. Breweries from around the world, across the state and down the street will showcase their unique libations – well over 150 beers total! The focus of Summer Beer Fest is the promotion of craft beers and the brewers that create them. This event is the perfect opportunity for beer aficionados, beer lovers and the casual beer drinker to speak to company representatives and brewers responsible for some of their favorite brews. It’s an opportunity to discover and taste new brews, seasonal beers and special “limited release” beers and ales.

“The Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce is looking forward to Summer Beer Fest – produced by business member Metro Times – making its debut this June in Ferndale,” said Ashleigh Laabs, Executive Director Ferndale Area Chamber of Commerce.

Saturday, December 5

On Saturday, December 5, 2015, Ferndale’s Downtown will again commemorate the day in December 1933 that Congress and President Franklin D Roosevelt passed the 21st amendment, ending prohibition. What better way to mark this historic occasion than by enjoying legal libation with a twist of costumed history?

Venues will feature 1930s décor and offer special drink prices. Staff and patrons are encouraged to wear period costumes (gangsters, flappers, rum runners etc.) The event will raise funds for Ferndale Good Fellows who offer assistance to needy families during the holiday season. Last year, eight watering holes and over a dozen volunteers raised almost $4,000. The present economy is still challenging but those and additional folks are committed to offering support again.

Off-duty police officers work with the fire department and other service organizations as part of Good Fellows to ensure that each child in need is warm, sheltered, fed, and hopefully have a toy for the holiday. Donations will be collected through “passing the moonshine jug,” raffles, possible cover charges at some venues and through corporate contributions.

If you are a venue or a sponsor interested in joining the fun, please contact Larry or Monica Mills at 248-330-2328 or email monmil@sbcglobal.net.

Last year’s sponsors include:

• Tito’s Vodka
• Templeton Rye
• Sneakers
• Danny’s Irish Pub
• The Bar Down Stairs
• Green Thumb Garden Center
• John R Glass of Troy
• Sucher Tire Service
• Just 4 Us
• Oakland 115.com
• Ferndale Friends
• Tiffani & Tom Gagne
• Craig Covey

The annual Ferndale Blues and Music festival was held again this year over nine days and nights in late January. More than 50 concerts were held in two dozen venues across town, with volunteers raising money through the ubiquitous blue piggy banks. Top sponsors included Bud Light, Suburban GMC, Garden Fresh Salsa, Rosie O’Gradys, Giffels Webster and others. Founded by former mayor Craig Covey and Larry and Monica Mills, the festival has run since 2000 and raises funds for Ferndale Youth Assistance and Michigan AIDS Coalition. As usual, music rocked out from New Way, Comos, Howes Bayou, Comos, and many other downtown venues. It promotes the downtown, and most importantly, brings music and light to our town during the coldest and darkest month of the year. A highlight each year is the Ferndale High School and Middle School Jazz bands. This year they played to a packed house at Treat Dreams on Woodward Ave.
