Woman faces charges after crash killing road worker

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

FARMINGTON HILLS — An Oakland County woman was arraigned in the 47th District Court in Farmington Hills Nov. 19, where she faces charges related to a car crash that killed a road crewman and married father of six. Two others were seriously injured in the July incident.

Kimberly Taylor, 59, of Farmington Hills, turned herself in to the city’s police department Nov. 19. This was after the case was turned over to the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office, which issued a three count -warrant for her arrest. She was arrested and arraigned the same day.

Taylor appeared before Judge James Brady and was charged with one count of moving violation causing death in a work zone, a 15-year felony, and

two counts of moving violation causing injury in a work zone, a one-year misdemeanor.

The judge set her bond at $5,000, and Taylor was released.

The Farmington Hills Police Department led the investigation.

Council denies new development at Parker/Lundy

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

FARMINGTON HILLS — The Farmington Hills City Council voted to deny the Parker/Lundy development during its Nov. 10 meeting, with the majority agreeing it would be a “detriment” to the residents who live nearby.

The council vote was 5-1. Jon Aldred, Michael Bridges, Jackie Boleware, William Dwyer and Valerie Knol all supported the motion to deny.

Mayor Theresa Rich was the lone dis-

New emergency operations center opens in Farmington Hills

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

FARMINGTON HILLS — Fire Station

No. 5 recently opened a new state-of-the-art emergency operations center. The facility is located at 31455 W. 11 Mile Road on the campus of Farmington Hills City Hall.

Government officials joined community leaders for the grand opening and ribbon cutting Oct. 29 of the newly renovated space that added 3,000 square feet to the building.

“What a joyful and meaningful day for the city of Farmington Hills,” said the town’s mayor, Theresa Rich. “It’s really about the people and the partnerships that made this happen.”

Those partnerships included state and local leaders such as state Rep. Jason Hoskins (House District 18) and Rep. Samantha Steckloff (House District 19), as well as state Sen. Mary Cavanagh (Senate District 6) and state Sen. Rosemary Bayer (Senate District 13), who together helped secure a $3 million grant that paid for the entire project.

The funds were presented to the city in 2024. Construction then followed in March 2025 and was finished in September 2025.

“It was completed early and under budget,” said Farmington Hills Fire Chief Jon Unruh.

Before the expansion, the building was bursting at the seams. Employees were working over each other in shared cubicles, and there

Project Blue Light

BY ANDY KOZLOWSKI akozlowski@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — While many spend the holidays with family and friends, the police and firefighters who keep them safe continue to work in the dark and cold, never certain they will come home at the end of their shift.

The stakes are made clear at the annual Project Blue Light ceremony, which remembers first responders who died in the line of duty. The gathering pays tribute to fallen officers statewide and is attended by police and fire officials from all over.

This year’s event will take place at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 2, at St. Mary Magdalen Church, located at 50 E. Annabelle

CEREMONY TO HONOR FALLEN FIRST RESPONDERS DEC. 2 IN HAZEL PARK

Ave. in Hazel Park, at the northeast corner of John R Road and Woodward Heights Boulevard. All are welcome.

“It definitely honors the fallen, but more than that. It speaks to those still doing the job, who are out there on these cold winter nights,” said Corey Haines, the police chief of Eastpointe and new mayor of Madison Heights.

The event’s name is derived from the practice of placing a blue or red light in a front window or porch light as a show of support for police officers and firefighters, respectively.

“It’s just heartwarming to see the lights in people’s homes, and very comforting to know we have their support,” Haines said.

were no designated areas for the city’s heating and cooling shelters, the chief said.

Now, there is room for the growing staff, and designated space to operate the shelters.

City officials raved about how the project was done without any city funding.

“This demonstrates our fiscal responsibility to our taxpayers, as well as collaboration with our local and state leaders,” said City Manager Gary Mekjian. “It gives Farmington Hills Public Safety professionals everything that our taxpayers expect: the technology, tools and space they need to manage and mitigate natural (disasters) — and the more unfortunately manmade incidents — more efficiently and effectively.”

Mekjian praised the fire chief’s team for their efforts applying for the grant.

“It’s not easy for those who have ever applied for state, local grants or even federal grants,” Mekjian said. “It takes a lot of effort to secure the funding to make the project possible.”

Zekelman Holocaust Center gets new COO

The Holocaust Center is located at 28123 Orchard Lake Road and is open 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday through Thursday, and 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Friday. For more information, visit holocaustcenter.org or call (248) 553-2400.

Blue Light

The evening features a wreath presentation and a “Roll Call of Heroes,” with flowers placed by department members and family members of the fallen. Special lighted wreaths are given to the families of officers who died this year. There will also be drums and pipes, prayers and poems, speeches and other tributes.

In 2025, the Roll Call of Heroes includes three men who made the ultimate sacrifice:

• Capt. Brent Kostanko, Ann Arbor Fire Department. Last alarm: Jan. 29, 2025.

• Officer Kelvin O. Patrick, Detroit Police Department. End of watch: Feb. 6, 2025.

• Capt. Jeremy Watkins, Dearborn Fire Department. Last alarm: March 2, 2025.

Debbie Swofford is the organizer of the event, which is now in its 22nd year.

“It is also our chance to support the families and live up to the pledge made with the loss of each hero — that we ‘never forget,’” she said in an email.

Police and fire officials say the event also provides a boost to their morale. The rigors of the job can take a toll on their mental health, as they often see people on their worst days in life — from victims of violence and abuse to people who lost their homes in a fire. The occasional brush with death can also lead to post-traumatic stress disorder and thoughts of suicide.

Haines spoke to the pressure facing officers.

“When you’re out on patrol, there’s no

such thing as a routine traffic stop,” Haines said. “Maybe it’s for speeding or running a red light, but we don’t know who the driver is or where they’re coming from. Did they just rob a bank or a party store? Only the driver knows what they did prior to that stop. And while most of the time everything goes well, it’s the times when it doesn’t that gives us pause. Our officers are going into the unknown.”

The event’s history in Hazel Park started in 2003 when Bob Williams — then the priest of St. Justin Church, the original venue, and the chaplain for the Hazel Park Police Department — led a service with Project Blue Light following the death of Jessica Nagle-Wilson.

Nagle-Wilson, a Hazel Park police officer, was killed in July 2002 while responding to a complaint that a neighbor wouldn’t leash his dog. Nagle-Wilson didn’t know a simple request would prompt the man to shoot her with a 12-gauge shotgun.

She died from a wound to the neck and the suspect survived. He was later sentenced to life in prison. Nagle-Wilson was only 26 at the time of her death; she had been a patrol officer in Hazel Park for less than two years. She was also a newlywed who had married another officer.

The incident has haunted the Hazel Park Police Department ever since.

“Fr. Bob has passed on, but the service continues in Hazel Park,” said William Hamel, the police chief of Hazel Park, in an email. “Project Blue Light is a time for everyone to take a moment to remember the first responders who have made the ultimate sacrifice, and to support their survivors.”

work to ensure there is ‘No Child Without a Christmas’

BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN tchristensen@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — The holiday season is upon us, and families all over are preparing for the next few months of fun, food and gifts. But some families are wondering how they are going to pull it off for their children.

To help, local charities and nonprofit organizations come together each year to supply families in need with gifts and food for the holiday season.

For the 31st year, the Troy Police Department is hosting “Operation Blue Sleigh,” a program aimed at helping families in need in the Troy area have the best holiday ever.

Officer Greg Pokley, with the Troy Police Department, said that the team is helping 41 families this year.

Pokley said that 95% of the families selected are identified through the school system and can include kids who are on the free lunch program, or those that teachers know need help the most. The other 15% are chosen by road patrol officers who notice families in need.

“Operation Blue Sleigh encompasses our gift card drive, Shop with a Cop, and then adopt a family,” Pokley said. “This year I have 41 families and that number keeps going up every year.”

During the Shop with a Cop portion

Low vision is a condition that glasses, surgery, or standard medical treatments can’t fully correct. It can make reading, driving, watching television, or recognizing faces nearly impossible. For adults with macular degeneration, glaucoma, diabetic retinopathy, or other serious eye diseases, it can feel like the world is slowly slipping away.

Dr. Jacobi’s mission is to stop that slide— and restore more than just sight. With more than 35 years of optometric experience and advanced training in low vision rehabilitation, Dr. Jacobi is one of the only low vision specialists in Michigan who offers customized visual solutions using advanced optics like high-powered magnifers and miniature telescopes built into glasses.

“Most people with low vision have been told ‘nothing more can be done.’ That’s simply not true,” says Dr. Jacobi. “With the right tools and strategies, we can help patients read again, watch TV, see loved

John P. Jacobi, OD, FCOVD,

As a Fellow of the International Academy of Low Vision Specialists, Dr. Jacobi provides detailed functional vision assessments to understand how each patient’s unique condition affects their daily life. Then, he designs personalized low vision systems— specialized devices and glasses tailored to help them meet real-world goals.

One of his most powerful tools is the miniature telescope lens system, which can be added to glasses to magnify and enhance central vision. For patients with macular degeneration or advanced glaucoma, it can make the difference between watching a grandchild perform in a school play—or just hearing about it later.

Beyond his work with older adults, Dr. Jacobi also helps younger patients living with congenital or acquired visual impairment. His practice is fully devoted to low vision, and he works closely with other eye doctors across the state to bring his services to more people in need.

“Every case is different,” says Dr. Jacobi. “I’ve helped a 12-year-old read her favorite books again, and I’ve helped a 99-yearold get back to doing crossword puzzles. That’s the power of low vision care.”

Appointments with Dr. Jacobi are available in Novi, and an east side location may open soon based on demand. He also offers phone consultations and is happy to speak with referring optometrists or ophthalmologists.

If you or someone you love is struggling with vision loss, don’t give up. Beyond Low Vision may be the answer.

“Low vision care is not about what you’ve lost,” Dr. Jacobi says. “It’s about what we can help you get back.”

Groups

of the program, officers take the kids through Walmart and buy the kids a gift with a $100 gift card provided by Walmart.

“We have 41 families and 41 sponsors, generous, generous sponsors, throughout the city of Troy,” he said. “That can include businesses or just residents in Troy that want to donate to families in need.”

Sponsors of the program essentially adopt a family in need. The families send Pokley a wish list which he then sends over to the sponsors.

“I recommend (to the sponsors) sending roughly $100 per person that is in the family. I divide the families into small, medium, and large so that way the sponsors can pick what size they want, because it will give them an idea of what their budget will be,” he said.

Once all of the gifts are collected from the sponsors, the Troy Police Department hand delivers the gifts to the families at home on Dec. 22.

“We get a bunch of police cars, and we have some large vehicles that are blue, and we load up the vehicles and deliver them to each house that morning,” he said. “The officers

get a kick out of that. They love doing that.”

During this time the Troy Police Department is also accepting donations, including money and gift cards. He said they recommend grocery store gift cards.

“We know that the kids, sometimes their best meal is when they are at school, and over the holidays, when they are on break, they don’t get that same food,” he said. “So we ask for grocery store gift cards, and we provide those families with gift cards as well as the sponsors providing the gifts.”

In St. Clair Shores, the Goodfellows have been providing holiday help for 99 long years, according to president of the St. Clair Shores Goodfellows organization, Mike Cook. The Goodfellows motto is “No Child Without a Christmas.”

Each year, the Goodfellows gather volunteers to sell newspapers on city street corners and collect food donations from the surrounding schools.

Schools around St. Clair Shores also collect nonperishable items to donate, according to Cook. That food is then put into food baskets that are delivered by volunteers to needy families in the St. Clair Shores area.

“We collect nonperishable food through the holidays and then we have a help line that needy families can call and request help, and we interview those families and for every child under the age of 16 we give out a gift card so that parents can go buy Christmas presents for the kids,” he said. “Along with that on Christmas Eve morning, we take the food that was collected by all of the schools and deliver that to the needy families on Christmas Eve morning.”

Cook said that the food baskets even include turkeys to ensure the families have a full Christmas meal.

Cook said that prospective families that need Christmas help can call the Goodfellows hotline at (586) 980-0400. They start taking calls the day after Thanksgiving.

Being such a big part of these families’ lives is a heartwarming experience according to Cook, who has been with the Goodfellows for around 38 years now.

It’s heartwarming when we can show up at someone’s house on Christmas Eve morning and bring them food and bring them the things they need, you know, maybe for some reason, they are less fortunate that year,” Cook said. “It doesn’t mean they are bad people, or they have had issues. Something has happened in their life that they need help. They may have lost their job, had an injury, they may have been hospitalized for something. So they have had an event in their life that they need assistance. And if we can help them just to brighten their day a little bit, it makes it all worthwhile.”

Tiebreaker confirms Sonneville for Orchard Lake City Council

BY GENA JOHNSON gjohnson@candgnews.com

ORCHARD LAKE VILLAGE —

Unofficial results for the Nov. 4 election showed DuAnne Sonneville leading Sean O’Bryan by three points for the last seat on the Orchard Lake City Council. Ten days later, they would face off in a tiebreaker, reconfirming Sonneville.

Oakland County Clerk Lisa Brown explained the process.

“The election is certified in six days to give military and overseas absentee ballots time to arrive … as long as they are postmarked on or before Nov. 4,” Brown said.

In addition, cured absentee ballot are also counted. These are absentee ballots that may not have been signed or where the signatures don’t appear to match.

“(Local clerks) have an obligation to reach out to the voter to correct that,” Brown said. “Those (ballots) that come in after Election Day are also added to the canvass.”

More ballots came in for the Orchard Lake race.

“So, it ended up in a tie once all ballots were counted,” Brown said.

On Nov. 13, Sonneville and O’Bryan were notified it was a tie. They were instructed to visit the Oakland County Elections Division in Pontiac Nov. 14 to settle the tie.

“My reaction was, ‘Why did I not hear before this,’” Sonneville said. “After 10 days, it was certainly unexpected.”

She confirmed the situation with offi-

cials at Orchard Lake City Hall, who had also received calls from Oakland County regarding the need for a tiebreaker.

O’Bryan had a similar reaction.

“When I got the call, I was absolutely stunned,” he said. “My wife Natalia said, ‘Oh no, we’re reopening that chapter,’ and that’s exactly how I felt.”

Brown described the way a tie is resolved.

First, a coin with heads and tails is shown to each candidate, and each is assigned a side. The coin is then flipped and allowed to fall on the floor.

The candidate that had the winning side reaches into a box containing two folded pieces of paper. One reads “elected” and the other reads “not elected.”

Sonneville won the toss and chose first. Then O’Bryan followed. Each unfolded the paper at the same time. Sonneville’s paper said “elected,” so she remains the winner.

Both Sonneville and O’Bryan called it a historic occasion. Brown said a tiebreaker has happened before in Oakland County, but she was not aware of one in Orchard Lake.

“It was a very interesting process, and it was so cool to see democracy in action,” said O’Bryan. “It was quite a privilege to part of something like this.”

Sonneville agreed it was a unique experience.

“It’s probably not something most people will ever see,” she said.

A coin toss and reaching into a box might seem simple in this age of technology.

“People are surprised that’s how a tie is

determined,” Brown said. “That’s what we have in our law, so that’s what we do.”

This will be Sonneville’s third term on the Orchard Lake City Council. She was term limited after two consecutive threeyear terms and had to sit out at least one year. She sat out two years and was then able run again.

The official vote for the Orchard Lake City Council race includes Kevin G. Kroger at 315 votes (39.57%), Sean J. O’Bryan at 239 votes (30.03%), and DuAnne Sonneville at 240 votes (30.15%). There were two rejected write-ins and no unassigned writein for a total of 796 votes.

senter, requesting that the vote be postponed so that more information could be acquired and so the developers would have time to adjust their proposal.

“The mayor and City Council really listened to the residents about their concerns and really took them to heart,” said Tom Progar, a resident in opposition to the development.

The Parker/Lundy area is on the south side of Farmington Hills, located at Parker Street and Lundy Road, south of Folsom. The area is filled with wetlands, water, woods and wildlife.

The homes there are mostly one story and under 1,000 square feet. The neighborhood is described as a rural, tight-knit community where many residents have lived more than 50 years.

The applicant and owner of the 16 parcels of land proposed for development is Forest at Riverwalk Development, LLC, and is owned by Stuart Michaelson and George Mager, who are also part of the Windmill Group.

The developers wish to build 33 new

detached homes, which would be larger than the existing homes in the area, including many two-story homes. There will be two or three larger homes on a lot smaller in size than the lots that currently have one small home in their proposed cluster development.

More than 600 trees would be cut to accommodate the new development. Residents were concerned about the excess water that would be created with fewer trees to drain stormwater runoff in an area that is already prone to flooding.

They also worried that a new road planned for the site would intrude on their privacy, and that the style of the new homes would clash with the neighborhood’s character.

Residents made their concerns clear at the council meeting.

“The more than 100 people in attendance and the 40 or so that spoke giving their personal reasons for not wanting the development really made an impact on council,” Progar said.

Barbara Seabolt has lived in the Parker/ Lundy community for nearly 60 years.

“They are planning to put the road even closer than I dreamt — 20 feet from my home,” Seabolt said. “My bedroom is right

Parker/Lundy

there. All three of my bedrooms in my home are going to be right next to that road. It’s going to be an impact that will be just horrific.”

Many council members said this was “unacceptable.”

Bridges made a motion to deny the development, citing the residents’ concerns about insufficient drainage, privacy violations. In addition, it would alter the character of the neighborhood and be a “detriment” to the neighbors and the community.

Michaelson said his team had taken the concerns into consideration.

“We are very careful to be sure that all of our sites are self-contained so that any drainage on our land goes into the detention (basin) and out the storm (sewer drain) and outlets, so it doesn’t interfere with any of the neighbors,” Michaelson said.

The developers insisted they did everything the city asked.

“We designed the community in this

way because the city told us we had to do it this way,” Mager said.

He said the city’s fire and police departments required the developer to have two points of ingress and egress in case of an emergency. He also agreed with the mayor, echoing her request for a postponement. Among the things the mayor would like is a traffic study done on Parker Street.

“There is a lot a traffic that goes down Parker pretty darn fast,” Rich observed. “It is used as a (detour) from Eight Mile (Road). A traffic study should be done (to) understand what the options are.”

She would also like to explore water mitigation efforts, in order to make sure a bad situation is not made worse. But some thought Rich shouldn’t vote on this matter.

“I think you (Rich) should recuse yourself from voting, seeing you took money for your campaign,” said John Salmonson.

Rich began the meeting stating she accepted a $500 donation from Stuart Michaelson of the Windmill Group for her reelection bid in the Nov. 4 election.

“This was less than 1% of the total

amount I raised of $140,000,” Rich said.

In a previous interview, she dismissed the concern.

“This was not material,” Rich said previously. “And no, (the donation) would not have an impact on my vote.”

Michelle Gala said she appreciated the mayor’s statement.

“No, I don’t think that (the $500 donation) had anything to do with her vote,” Gala said. “We’re glad that she addressed that first thing.”

Michaelson insisted the proposal was airtight.

“This community is well thought out,” Michaelson said. “It is totally qualified. It meets your ordinances.”

Mary Newlin, a resident in the Parker/ Lundy community and former member of

council, said she doesn’t expect the debate to stop here.

“I know how developers change things, and keep coming back and coming back, or they take the city to court,” Newlin said.

Many residents said they would like to see the Parker/Lundy land turned into a park or natural trail that could be used by community members and school kids on field trips.

Councilman Randy Bruce was not in attendance at the Nov. 10 council meeting. He ran for mayor in the Nov. 4 election and came in second to incumbent Rich. Newly elected councilman Charlie Starkman sat in the audience and will be sworn in at the council meeting following the certification of the election, at which time Bruce’s tenure on council will end.
