Utica City Council considers relocating city facilities BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com

UTICA — The city of Utica is considering relocating city facilities, as Plante & Moran PLLC will be studying the feasibility of this move and will provide a report on its findings to the City Council. At the November City Council meeting, the council accepted the proposal submitted by Plante & Moran. The proposal included: • Reviewing the city of Utica’s budgets and audited financial statements over the past several years to assess financial trends and opportunities. • Conducting interviews with key stakeholders to understand priorities, constraints and potential areas for improvement. • Identifying revenue-generating op-

portunities and cost-reduction strategies within current City operations. • Evaluating the feasibility and impact of proposed options on the city’s ability to support debt service for relocation and redevelopment projects. This will lead to a comprehensive report summarizing options, estimated financial benefits and strategic recommendations and later presenting the findings with steps to enhance fiscal capacity and support downtown revitalization goals. At the November meeting, Utica Mayor Gus Calandrino originally voted no on this and Mayor Pro Tem Faith Terenzi was not present. During the December meeting, the City Council voted on an amendment to the general fund budget, which increased by $18,000 the amount for consultants on

special projects. Terenzi voted no, though the rest of the council voted in favor of the amendment. “I was not here last month and I feel that this should have been waited on to be in the budget, because at the end of when we finished our budget, we had $61,912 of unassigned monies. . . . For us, that’s a lot of money, and last month we used $10,000 that had to go to the audit and that was a necessity, so we had to take out of that $61,000,” Terenzi said. “We’re already down to $51,000, and to use another $18,000 that’s not in the budget, I feel we should have waited for the budget. I’m in favor of Plante & Moran coming and doing the study. I feel that it’s great for our city; I just don’t feel that this is the right time.” Calandrino agreed with Terenzi on this matter, though he voted in favor of the

amendment. “I was the lone ‘no’ vote on this for similar reasons as Mayor Pro Tem Terenzi mentioned,” Calandrino said. “I’m all for it. I realize if we want to move the city forward, especially our downtown area, there’s things that we have to do. Personally, I thought that it was more prudent to wait and budget it for the next fiscal year. It would also give us the opportunity to have more in-depth discussions among council members and also to get feedback from the public about how we spend their tax dollars.” This feasibility project is estimated to take approximately 65 to 80 hours and should be completed within the next year.

BANISHED WORD LIST CELEBRATES 50 YEARS

METRO DETROIT — Lake Superior State University has released its 50th annual Banished Words List, a tradition highlighting the importance and evolution of language. LSSU officials said what began as a whimsical New Year’s Eve party idea in 1976 has “grown into a global reflection on the words that wear out their welcome.” This year’s entries continue a tongue-in-cheek commentary on language, catchphrases, and corporate jargon. Over 1,400 submissions were entrusted to LSSU this year, pouring in from all 50 U.S. states, and as far as Uzbekistan, Brazil, Japan, the United Kingdom and many more. Here are this year’s banishments: “6-7 (six seven),” “demure,” “cooked,” “massive,” “incentivize,” “full stop,” “perfect,” “gift/gifted (as a verb),” “my bad,” and “reach out.” For half a century, the Banished Words List has served as a reminder that language is always evolving.

January is School Board Recognition Month

METRO DETROIT — January is School Board Recognition Month. Staff and students from local school districts will honor the boards that govern their districts by creating artwork, making homemade cards, baking cookies and more to show appreciation. School Board Recognition Month is part of a national effort, cosponsored by the Michigan Association of School Boards and the National School Boards Association, to build community awareness about the role that school boards play in their communities. Depending on the school district, some board members serve four-year terms and some serve six-year terms. The job of a school board member includes reading educational materials and school board packets, understanding financial reports, attending school functions, listening to district concerns and making decisions that are sometimes unpopular.

CRIME

WATCH Police arrest drunken driver

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A police officer observed a vehicle in the area of 22 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue that was swerving and having a hard time maintaining its lane at 10:30 p.m. Jan. 2. The officer made contact with the occupant of the vehicle, who had bloodshot eyes and an odor of intoxicants on his breath, according to the report. The driver admitted to having had a drink before driving, police said, and was placed under arrest for operating while intoxicated. The man was lodged at the Macomb County Jail until he was sober.

Detectives investigate vehicle theft

exhibit is about inspiring kids. “We want kids and students to walk in, get their hands on technology, feel the excitement of innovation and start to imagine themselves as engineers, designers, coders, technicians or entrepreneurs,” he said in a statement. “If we can inspire even a fraction of them to explore a future in the auto industry, that’s a win for Detroit and for the industry as a whole.” Inside the exhibit hall, visitors can experience the debut of Michigan Overland Adventure, a new immersive feature celebrating the vehicles, gear and lifestyle of overlanding — self-reliant, vehicle-dependent travel to remote destinations, typically involving camping and off-road-capable vehicles. “Designed as a rugged, adventureinspired environment, Michigan Overland Adventure will transform a dedicated area of the show floor into an overland showcase featuring custom-built trucks, off-road SUVs, adventure-ready rigs and expedition equipment built for exploration,” a press release from the organizers states. “The experience invites attendees to step into the world of overlanding — where capability, durability and freedom come together.” Szott said the exhibit reflects a shift that’s been seen in the industry towards ve-

hicles that are “built for more than just getting from Point A to point B.” “Michigan Overland Adventure taps directly into that momentum. It reflects how automakers — especially those with deep roots here in Detroit — are responding to consumer demand for capability, authenticity and vehicles that can take people further, whether that’s up north, off the grid or off the beaten path,” he said in a statement. According to the press release, besides featuring vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Ram, Toyota, INEOS, Subaru and American Expedition Vehicles, the exhibit will also feature rooftop tents, off-road trailers, recovery equipment and expedition gear. The show will also feature a number of signature experiences, such as the return of The Gallery, an ultra-luxury and exotic vehicle showcase; Modded Detroit, one of Michigan’s premier automotive enthusiast groups, which will bring a curated showcase of over 150 modified vehicles; and Racing Day on Jan. 20.

Utica man charged with murder to have competency evaluation BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com

UTICA — Sidney Emmanuel Davis Jr., a 25-year-old man from Utica, was recently referred for a competency evaluation after being charged with first-degree premeditated murder related to a stabbing that occurred at a Meijer gas station in Shelby Township. It is alleged that, on Sept. 21, 2025, that Davis beat and repeatedly stabbed Fatme Davis, his 23-year-old estranged wife, inside the Meijer gas station at 15031 Hall Road in Shelby Township. Fatme and Sidney Davis’ 1-year-old son was in his mother’s car at the gas station for a custody exchange. The child was reported to be safe with his paternal grandmother. Fatme Davis was transported to a local hospital where she died, while Sidney Davis fled the scene, according to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. He was later discovered in Armada Township with a severe laceration on his hand, and he was arrested and transported to a hospital for treatment. On Sept. 24, Sidney Davis was arraigned in the 41A District Court in Shelby Township before Magistrate Christopher Alayan. Davis was charged with first-degree murder, a life-without-parole felony, and Alayan denied bond. “The allegations in this case are both shocking and deeply disturbing,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter J. Lucido said in

a press release. “A young mother was allegedly killed at the hands of her estranged husband, while their child sat waiting in the car. Our office is committed to pursuing this case to the fullest extent of the law to ensure Davis justice is served.” On Tuesday, Dec. 16, Sidney Davis appeared before Judge Stephen S. Sierawski at the 41A District Court in Shelby Township for a probable cause conference. The court referred Davis to the Center for Forensic Psychiatry for an evaluation regarding his competency to stand trial and scheduled a review hearing at 1 p.m. Jan. 29. “The court ordered a psychiatric evaluation of the defendant to determine whether he is competent to stand trial,” Lucido said in a press release. “The law requires this determination before the case may proceed, to ensure the proceedings are valid and sustainable. Establishing competency allows the case to move forward with certainty and finality, so that the charges can be resolved in a lawful manner and justice can be pursued on behalf of the victim and the victim’s family.” Davis’ attorney, Camilla Barkovic, was contacted for further comment on the matter but had not responded by press time.

UCS school communicator honored as emerging leader in public relations BY SARAH WRIGHT

THE ORIGINAL

swright@candgnews.com

Jennifer Kane, the Utica Community Schools coordinator of public relations, has been selected as the sole recipient of the first “Rising Star” award from the Michigan School Public Relations Association. MSPRA is the premier organization for school communicators in Michigan, with more than 200 members statewide. Jessica Stilger, president-elect of MSPRA, said the award is one of MSPRA’s premier honors. “This award is judged based on innovation, collaboration, impact, and commitment to growth,” Stilger said in a press release. “It honors someone who uses fresh, creative approaches to the communications work, effectively navigates challenges and crises, actively participates in MSPRA events, seeks out professional learning, actively promotes inclusive messages and representation in district communications, works effectively with school leaders to advance communications goals, takes on leadership roles, completes data-driven work and showcases strong digital communication skills.” Kane holds a Bachelor of Arts in journalism from Michigan State University and a Master of Business Administration from Wayne State University, with a concentration in marketing and management. Her professional background includes serving as the public address announcer for the Lansing Lugnuts. She had also previously been the marketing manager, event director and client relations representative for Groove Productions and has served as a digital media intern at the then-Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Kane is in her fourth year with UCS where she oversees the district’s media relations and creates and implements communications for the UCS kindergarten registration process. She also has led the district’s rebranding initiatives, coordinated the Leg-

On top of this, Kane represents the district on multiple MSPRA committees and currently serves as president of the Oakland County School Public Relations Association, of which UCS is a member. “In her short time with Utica Community Schools, Mrs. Kane has integrated herself in our school district family and championed innovative communications systems,” Superintendent Robert S. Monroe said in a press release. “We are proud to recognize Mrs. Kane for being a Rising Star — both in Utica Community Schools and as a school communications professional in Michigan.” She will be honored at the MSPRA spring conference in March.

The secrets to their success NEW BUSINESS OWNERS TALK ABOUT PLANNING, GROWTH AFTER YEAR ONE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — When starting a business, entrepreneurs think about all aspects that will make it successful: daily operations, building a customer base, hiring employees, managing cash flow, city zoning ordinances and much more. After navigating over the hurdles, making it through the first year feels like a milestone.

‘The biggest challenge has been getting the word out’

Bricks & Minifigs Novi, located at 49881 Grand River Ave., in Wixom, opened Sept. 21, 2024. In that first year, the store owners learned a lot about what worked and what improvements can be made. “I think what got us through is our positive attitude and amazing customers,” said Cara Suksi, who created the store with her husband Kevin. “We have so many repeat customers. They’re so supportive. They take part in some of our events we’ve done. It’s hard to walk in our store and not have a huge smile on your face.” Bricks & Minifigs Novi is every Lego fan’s dream.

“We sell everything Legos. We sell new and boxed Legos. We sell bulk Legos including bins,” Cara said. “Legos are made well. They don’t lose their value. They always fit together.” The Suksis own Bricks & Minifigs Novi with two other partners: Cathy Drapeau, who is Cara Suksi’s mother, and Sean Krabach. Everyone took on different roles to make the store a success. Kevin, who still works his full-time job outside the family business, takes care of the finances for Bricks & Minifigs Novi and assists with the inventory. Cara handles the marketing, events and birthday parties. Krabach is responsible for the inventory, and Drapeau was put in charge of human resources. Cara and Kevin’s teenage son Jack also helps out, along with a group of dedicated staff members. Kevin always had an interest in Legos. Cara said he’d buy and sell them online, and one day suggested they open up their own Lego store. Along with sales, Bricks & Minifigs Novi buys and trades all Lego products. Because of Kevin’s hobby, the Suksi already had a lot of inventory to stock the store. It was a long process to open the business. The Suksis traveled out of state to meet See BUSINESS on page 15A

‘I knew I had to keep going’

In the summer of 2025, Mariah Moore fulfilled a longtime ambition of opening up her own business called EverCare Home Health. The virtual office is located in Bloomfield Hills and provides home health care services throughout metro Detroit. Moore always had an interest in helping others. She started caregiving when attending Ferris State University. After graduating from college in 2011, she worked for Child Protective Services in Michigan but also continued with caregiving on the side. At first it was to make extra money, but then Moore discovered how much she enjoyed working as a caregiver. “I worked for different agencies in metro Detroit,” Moore said. “I knew I loved it.” She eventually left CPS. In 2023, the budding entrepreneur decided it was time to open up her own home health care business. She wasn’t sure how to get started but met a mentor who offered a number of tips to help in the beginning. Moore paid attention to every detail to make sure she was on the right path to opening EverCare Home Health. “She taught me how to do it from beginning to end,” Moore said. “She went over everything with me.” That included putting together a business plan, setting policies and procedures, and registering as an LLC business. EverCare Home Health offers a number of non-

medical services including dressing, bathing, companionship, light housekeeping, and transportation for doctor’s appointments and running errands. Currently, Moore has 10 caregivers on staff and four clients. One strategy Moore uses to find new clients is to pay a company for referral leads. “The most challenging part was finding clients in the beginning. No one was calling. It was disappointing,” she said. “I knew I had to keep going. It took about two months to find my first client. It seemed like it was never going to happen.” Moore makes sure to get to know the clients and their families to find out what the needs are. Some clients receive short-term care while others need long-term care. One client is receiving care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “I stay involved so families feel comfortable contacting me,” she said. “We have to make sure the caregivers are reliable.” While Moore is “glad my company is a little bit smaller,” she does have plans to expand in the future. She would like to add more 24/7 clients and offer medical care. She knows the hard work involved in operating her own business, and she is willing to put in the time. “I want to continue to grow, and I still want to be able to have good relationships with each family,” Moore said. “I never thought I would have my own company. Focusing on my company full time is the most rewarding part. I truly enjoy it. I am doing what I love.”

with the Lego CEO and founder. They also completed a week of training. They were required to give a presentation as to why they wanted to own such a business and also spent a few days working in the company’s flagship store. “It was pretty intense,” Cara said. “It’s a risk. The biggest challenge has been getting the word out. People are still finding us for the first time. Every market is different. What sells in one market may not sell in another market.” The owners continue to come up with new ideas as the business grows. Bricks & Minifigs Novi, for instance, will participate in National Lego Day on Jan. 28. Cara suggests customers check on the store’s social media pages — Facebook, X and Instagram — for updates. “Star Wars” is probably the biggest seller. The botanical flower themes, superheroes, “Lord of the Rings” and Friends sets also are popular. Cara said that many people come in to build their own creations or sometimes find missing pieces from a set they already own.

Spalla — who passed away in April, at the age of 104 — was a longtime painter who picked up the craft in her early 50s. “In 1973, she was 52 years old, she started her first painting class and it just took off for her. She never thought she could draw or anything, but from then on she just started painting,” said Liana Spalla, Angela’s daughter. She began painting in oil and later created works in acrylic and watercolor. Spalla’s body of work was quite versatile, grabbing her subjects from photographs, pages out of magazines and anything else of interest. She even took some metal engraving classes in 1982 with her eldest son, who studied fine art at the University of the Americas in Mexico City. Over the years, Angela Spalla participated in many art shows, shopping mall exhibits and art festivals, winning awards at the Shelby Township Art Fair, Art & Apples Festival, Garden Arts & Crafts Fair, Oakland Mall, and the Clinton Valley Shopping Center. “My mom would have been extremely honored to have known that her artwork was being featured at this exhibit at the Shelby Township Activities & Senior Center,” Liana said.

Tomey was a standout pitcher who played for Detroit Catholic Central and Eastern Michigan University before being

Adrienne Mueller, who helped care for Angela in her senior years, said she was very fortunate to have visited her often the last few years of her life. “From our many conversations, Mrs. Spalla spoke passionately about her love for painting. She was very proud of her work. Mrs. Spalla enjoyed telling family and friends the inspiration behind many of her paintings that were displayed in her home,” she said in an email. Angela Spalla was a member of several art guilds and societies including the Romeo Art Guild, Fraser Fine Arts Association, Warren Society of Arts and Anchor Bay Artists Club. Lori Nowak, Angela Spalla’s niece, said it wasn’t until her aunt’s funeral that she realized what an accomplished artist she was. “My husband and I just moved into a new home on the lake, and I was in awe of a painting she did of the water. It is with great pride that I am able to display my Aunt Ang’s painting,” she said. In honor of Angela Spalla, her family has displayed a collection of her personal artwork, which will be for sale at the Shelby Township Activities Center, 14975 21 Mile Road, through February.

He then played minor league baseball for the Tigers and Dodgers organizations until 2008. “We’re honored to help young athletes build their skills and confidence on the baseball field,” Tomey said in the release. The Born in Detroit brand was trademarked in 2015 by brothers Michael and Anthony Tomey, and brothers George and Alex Bourkoulas. The brand has officially licensed apparel for the Tigers, Lions, Red Wings and Pistons as well as a handful of local colleges. All participants will receive a Born in Detroit T-shirt.

the residence and spent shell casings in the street. Two people were inside the home at the time of the shooting, but authorities said no one was injured. After speaking with witnesses and obtaining search warrants, detectives identified the suspect in the shooting as Webster and later located his vehicle near Nine Mile Road and Jefferson Avenue in St. Clair Shores. At about 3:30 p.m. Dec. 26, officers arrested Webster as he was walking to his vehicle, which was under police surveillance. Authorities said they discovered a handgun in Webster’s purse, as well as other evidence in his vehicle.

Prosecutors believe Webster had a dispute with one of the occupants of the mobile home. “The allegations in this matter are serious,” Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido said in a prepared statement. “Resorting to violence to resolve disputes is wholly unacceptable, and my office will give this case the thorough and deliberate attention it warrants.” Earlier in December, and after the arrest of a home invasion suspect, Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide said his department would track down anyone who commits a violent crime in the community. “Obviously, the suspect in this case chose to ignore my warning and had to learn this lesson the hard way,” Shelide said in a prepared statement. “Let me once again

make it perfectly clear — if you are thinking about committing a violent crime in Shelby Township, think again.” If convicted, Webster faces up to life in prison for each count of assault with intent to murder, up to 10 years for discharging a weapon from a vehicle, up to 10 years for discharging a weapon into a building, and

up to two years for each count of felony firearm. Webster is scheduled to appear in court for a preliminary exam Jan. 20, after press time. His attorney, Catherine Omeara Bolden, declined to comment. Call Staff Writer Mary Beth Almond at (586) 498-1060.

TEN TIPS CAN HELP KEEP A HOME SAFE DURING THE WINTER MONTHS BY TAYLOR CHRISTENSEN

It’s important to test smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly. BELOW: To prevent slip and fall accidents, shovel snow promptly, use de-icer and maintain well-lit walkways. Shutterstock images

tchristensen@candgnews.com

METRO DETROIT — AAA is reminding homeowners of how essential it is to stay proactive on maintenance during the winter cold, and it shared 10 tasks to help people stay prepared and safe during this time. “Winter maintenance is the most effective way to prevent costly damage and provide peace of mind,” Adrienne Woodland, spokeswoman for AAA — The Auto Club Group, said in a press release. “Taking time now to prepare can prevent extensive repairs and keep your family safe when winter storms hit.” AAA’s first task for winter readiness is to protect pipes from freezing. The press release says that people should disconnect garden hoses, shut off exterior valves, and insulate exposed pipes to prevent bursts. The second tip is to clear gutters and downspouts. Removing debris from the gutters and downspouts prevents ice dams and foundation damage. People should also schedule chimney cleaning to reduce fire and carbon monoxide risks. AAA recommends annual inspections and urges proper wood-burning practices. Another major tip presented by AAA is to prevent slip and fall accidents by shoveling snow promptly, using de-icer and maintaining well-lit walkways. The fifth task is to inspect roofs and flashing and to repair damaged shingles and clear debris to prevent leaks. Testing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors regularly is another tip. AAA says people should replace batteries and outdated units. The seventh task is to monitor for ice dams and heavy snow, and to remove the excess snow and ice buildup to prevent damage. Homeowners should be sure to maintain heating systems by cleaning dryer vents, changing furnace filters, and scheduling annual tuneups for safety and efficiency. One of the most important tasks to be aware of is to maintain heat in your home, according to Woodland. Homeowners should be aware to not let the pipes freeze while they are away, always maintaining a thermostat between 55 degrees and 60 degrees to prevent frozen pipes. Dropping below 55 degrees might cause the pipes to burst. “One of the most important things you know for a homeowner particularly this time of year is to maintain a certain level of heat in their home to prevent frozen pipes,” Woodland said. “Especially if they are going to be away. Because with pipes bursting, the amount of damage really can vary depending on how long it is. It takes a while before you discover that issue has occurred.” The 10th suggestion is, if the furnace fails and one cannot turn off the water to the home, let the faucets drip to prevent pipes from freezing. The press release says to open cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate near pipes.

“These tips are really important to make sure that your home will be ready for winter and the different perils that can come with the wintertime,” Woodland said. Lee Deel, owner of Briarwood Heating and Cooling in Rochester Hills, said that checking your furnace regularly throughout the winter is essential to spotting cracks and problems. Deel says it’s essential for all homes to have a carbon monoxide detector, because if a furnace goes off and then turns around and comes right back on within a certain amount of seconds, there is something wrong, and there is a risk of carbon monoxide getting into the home.

“We are finding cracks in the heat exchangers, which are there to keep the carbon monoxide out of the air that you breathe, and we are seeing more cracks,” he said. “But just because you have a crack doesn’t mean it’s leaking carbon monoxide; it just means that there is a risk of it. Once we see a crack, there is too much liability to just ignore it. Even if it’s only a hairline crack, as a heating and cooling company, we have to fix it.” Deel said that the first thing people should do when they find a problem in the furnace is to call and have it checked by a trained eye. “First check, clean and change your filter. We use thermometers to check what we call the temperature rise, and if it’s not within the range that the manufacturer wants, it’s going to crack,” he said. “The biggest thing is to have the furnace running in the temperature range that the manufacturer wants. And if you don’t change your filter, the furnace will overheat; it’s going to crack

the metal.” There are furnaces now that provide the homeowner with a smart thermostat feature, which Deel said can be checked at any time. So, while away on vacation, it’s important to keep an eye on that. Woodland suggested that homeowners review their insurance policies on their home to make sure they have the best coverage for them during the winter months. “It’s best to contact and speak with a trusted insurance agent to go over your different options, and in that meeting with the agent, it’s really important to share things like your home is on a body of water, because that can definitely make a difference in terms of risk and things like that,” she said. “They are going to ask a variety of different questions about your home, and providing them with all of that information is the best way to help them come up with the right policy for you and your home.” For more information on AAA and tips, visit aaa.com.
