Downtown Milford's new LaFontaine Family Amphitheater will welcome rockers of all ages for an evening of Indie Rock from 7-10 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 19.
Presented by Huron Valley State Bank and the Milford Downtown Development Authority, the free concert is curated by 800Beloved's Sean Lynch and will showcase three local and regional bands in one night.
The evening will feature performances by three Michigan Indie rock bands, including: 800Beloved of Milford, Dear Tracks of Grand Rapids, and Missionary of Detroit.
Deriving its namesake from its location, set in the new LaFontaine Family Amphitheater near the Albert Kahn Powerhouse, CURRENTS represents a completely new concert format and style for Milford. Milford's existing Summer Concert Series has been very popular in the local and surrounding communities, featuring cover bands and favorite tunes for all generations.
800Beloved, Dear Tracks, and Missionary will bring all original music to the audience at the LaFontaine Family Amphitheater. Bridging the gap between generations, the concert will reach a broader audience with upcycled music trends reminiscent of past generations.
The event serves as a great opportunity for visitors to explore and experience the Village of Milford's expansive downtown district. Please come downtown early to shop and dine at downtown Milford's retailers and restaurants before the show.

ATM Located Outside of Holden's
|
The fire that destroyed Holden's Party Store earlier this month has resulted in the loss of the Huron Valley State Bank ATM outside the store. For the time being, ATM's are available at both the Milford and Highland branches. We apologize for this inconvenience.
On behalf of the Directors and Staff of Huron Valley State Bank our thoughts are with the Holden's Family and their employees. Holden's is an icon in our community and has deep roots in Milford.

Beware Of New ATM Skimmer Techniques
Source: Krebs on Security
|
Most of us know to keep our guard up when withdrawing cash from an ATM and to look for any signs that the machine may have been tampered with. But ATM fraud experts say they continue to see criminal innovations with "insert skimmers," wafer-thin data theft devices that fit inside the ATM's card acceptance slot and do not alter the outward appearance of a compromised cash machine.
Of course, an insert skimmer alone isn't going to capture your PIN. For that, thieves typically rely on cleverly hidden tiny cameras. Often, the spy camera is tucked inside a false panel above or directly beside the PIN pad. But as I've noted in stories about skimming attacks that never touch the ATM (such as vestibule door skimmers), crooks often get very creative, hiding cameras behind things like convex mirrors - or even phony fire alarms.
Broken record alert: Consumers can foil the vast majority of skimming attacks merely by covering the PIN pad with their hand when entering their PIN: That way, even if the thieves somehow skim your card, there is less chance that they will be able to snag your PIN as well. You'd be amazed at how many people fail to take this basic precaution. Yes, there is still a chance that thieves could use a PIN-pad overlay device to capture your PIN, but in my experience these are far less common than hidden cameras (and quite a bit more costly for thieves who aren't making their own skimmers).

Did You Know?
The whole country makes money when the Mint makes money... Why? The answer is "seigniorage"-the difference between the cost of making a coin and its face value. (For example, it costs only a few cents to make a quarter, yet its face value is 25 cents.) This profit runs the Mint and puts extra funds into the country's Treasury-funds then spent on education, health care, defense, and other services for the nation.
