Errata? Let’s hope.

A faithful Enterprise reader sent us a link to a Farmington Observer story that has Farmington mayor Valerie Knol living in Farmington Hills with her new husband, Paul Welday.

Knol presided over her last City Council meeting earlier this month, but has two years left in her council term. Welday is up against former State Representative Andrew Raczkowski in the Michigan 9th Congressional Republican run-off. Both were quoted in a story about Saturday’s Streetscape celebration.

Best guess is the paper will run a correction. Mayor Knol has been open-minded about shared services, but this would be taking things a little too far.

Farmington 15 News: PREMIERES October 30, 7:15 PM

UPDATE: Farmington 15 News premieres Friday, October 30, 7:15 pm.

Farmington 15 News will be on the air in a few days, and this afternoon, I sat in on the taping at Southwest Oakland Cable Commission‘s studio A in Farmington.

The show represents a collaboration between Visibles, a Downtown Farmington business, and the City of Farmington, working through SWOCC Studios to produce intensely local programming. Farmington 15 News’ first edition includes footage of the summer’s major happenings, and the show closes with a calendar of events.

How do I know so much about this? I co-wrote the script, with Meredith Nickol. And my husband, Brian Golden, co-hosts the show, along with Jolene Alaniz, a City of Farmington employee. Jolene also appeared in the City’s water conservation video, which you can view here.

Today’s taping was a real eye-opener. SWOCC’s staff – Eric Angott, Melissa Cohn and Hans Ihlenfeldt – provided high-quality technical and support services. Over the next few days, I’ll be working on a video of my own, to show you just how much work goes into making a half-hour public access news show.

And keep on eye on Farmington’s city channel 15 – lots of interesting programming is on the way.

I stumble across the strangest things on-line. This time, I was trying to get to the Farmington Civic theater’s Web site in order to determine whether the current movie selections have changed. Instead, I found an open letter to theater manager Bill Richards, who probably wishes he’d been just a little more cordial with this person:

It isn’t often that someone buys a domain name (or two) just to send you a message.

PS, here’s the real Farmington Civic Theatre web site: http://www.farmingtoncivictheatre.org/
