What a mess

Noble Rd. in Addison Township was littered with so many downed trees, limbs and branches from the storm that it was impassable. Fortunately, Oakland County Road Commission workers got right on it the next day, clearing the rural road with chainsaws, elbow grease and giant machines like the one shown here. Looks like something out of Jurassic Park, doesn’t it. Photos by C.J. Carnacchio.

Students at Clear Lake Elementary gave their principal, Sue Hannant, a whipped cream shower last Thursday for earning $13,305.47 at their PTO Fun Run fund-raising event last month. The top earners from each grade, which included Trevor DeSmith, Rebecca Wood, Victoria Kelly, Hunter Hicks, Ashley Peters (pictured above) and Madison Maier, got to throw two pies at Hannant.
