Man who allegedly hijacked ambulance found incompetent to stand trial

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

Changlin Li, of Novi, the man who allegedly hijacked an ambulance last October, was declared to be incompetent to stand trial during a forensic review and competency hearing on Jan. 14 in 52-1 District Court.

Li is facing charges of carjacking, second-degree fleeing and elud-

Council approves zoning overlay for development at 10 Mile and Novi roads

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

Despite some pushback from residents, the Novi City Council decided Jan. 26 to move forward with a planned rezoning overlay for a development to be built on approximately 34 acres of land east of Novi Road, south of 10 Mile Road

After nearly two hours of discussions with the petitioner, and after hearing from residents, the council voted unanimously to give the developer the green light for the planned rezoning overlay to switch the land from light industrial and office service to community business and low-density multiple family.

The development, which is located near the Novi Athletic Club, will feature 71 townhome units and approximately 35,900 square feet of commercial space.

“This project has been around a long time, and it’s gone through a lot of iterations. These iterations have had several start-stops,” said Lonny Zimmerman, president of Siegel/Tuomaala Associates, Architects and Planners. “So, we are optimistic that we’ve got a great solution. It solves residential. It

Construction to improve water infrastructure begins on 14 Mile Road

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

Orange barrel season is back already.

The Great Lakes Water Authority began a water infrastructure construction project Jan. 12 on 14 Mile Road.

Fourteen Mile is closed to eastbound traffic from East Walled Lake Drive to Novi/Decker Road and then from Novi/Decker Road to M-5. According to a press release, the road closures are expected to be in place through late April, and the project is estimated to be finished in June.

“The renewal and replacement work will allow GLWA to continue building resiliency in the regional water transmission system after its 42-inch water main unexpectedly failed on 14 Mile Road, west of M-5, at the end of September (2025),” a spokesperson for GLWA said in a press release.

The project is anticipated to cost $12.8 million. GLWA developed the work plan for the project in collaboration with Commerce Township, Walled Lake, Wixom and Novi.

Novi Mayor Justin Fischer stressed that the city does not have control over the project, but the city does its best to hold GLWA accountable.

“I think everybody just has to recognize that they are a separate entity and there is only so much we really can do,” said Fischer.

He said the city will continue to partner with GLWA and be a voice and a conduit for the residents with GLWA.

“Sometimes people I think have the impression that we

LOCAL INDOOR GOLF SIMULATORS FLOURISHING IN WINTER MONTHS

BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com

In the past, winter months meant the end of golf season for most metro Detroiters; however, in the modern age, that’s no longer the case.

Indoor golf is a booming industry across the country and metro Detroit is no different. Specifically, the Novi area has become a hotbed of indoor simulators for golfers.

“(Novi) is the local golf mecca,” Back Nine Novi franchise owner Adam Harris said. “It tells you how popular it is and how much demand there is. When we

ing a police officer, two counts of resisting/ obstructing a police officer, two counts of peace officer-disarming a firearm, and carrying a concealed weapon for his alleged actions following a four-vehicle rollover collision on Oct. 25, 2025.

Li was involved in the crash at the intersection of Ten Mile and Novi roads. Then, in what sounds like something made for a movie, Li allegedly decided to take the ambulance on the scene for a spin, with an emergency medical technician and one of the other drivers, who was being treated for minor injuries, in the back.

Li allegedly drove the ambulance approximately 4 miles, with police in pursuit. The chase ended when he crashed into another vehicle after going through a red light, police said. The impact caused the ambulance to catch on fire.

Li then set off on foot and was apprehended a short distance away, according to Novi police.

“This clearly was a mental health issue,” Joseph Xuereb, Li’s attorney, told the Novi Note. “He is a 33-year-old man. I believe he has a master’s degree in engineering, no criminal record or contact with police ever, and uh, something happened that day.”

Xuereb said that Li’s friends were so concerned about his mental health that they had a wellness check conducted the day of the incident. According to Xuereb, Novi police officers conducted the check approximately two hours prior to the incident. He said that officers came to Li’s home and spoke with Li. “But something was going on that

wasn’t caught and he had this mental health episode,” Xuereb said.

Li appeared in front of Judge David Law on Jan. 14 via video from the Oakland County Jail, where he is being held on a $5 million cash/surety bond.

His attorneys, Xuereb and Robert Mullen, were present in the courtroom, as was an interpreter to translate the proceedings from English to Mandarin Chinese and vice versa for Li.

During the hearing, Law considered the results of Li’s examination by the Center for Forensic Psychiatry.

“There is a stipulation to the report, and the finding of that report is that the defendant is incompetent to stand trial currently but likely to retain competence,” said Law.

“The court’s understanding is the defendant will remain in custody and receive psy-

opened this location, we knew of all of these places that were either opened or opening, and we still saw that the market would support us.”

Initially, indoor golf was viewed as more of a casual entertainment venture, as opposed to an outdoor golf equivalent. Now, with the advancement of technology, there is opportunity to improve as a golfer and even compete indoors.

“Now that we can trust the technology … you can actually get better playing indoor golf,” Harris said. “We can see where your clubface is, we can see what the ball is doing and you get immediate feedback. … That data is invaluable to you.”

The technology consists of cameras and sensors that track the speed, spin and angle of the ball to determine where any shot would end up on an outdoor course. That, along with the numbers provided after each shot, make it more of a tool than it’s ever been before.

The proof of interest is also highlighted within the community. Back Nine Novi hasn’t opened yet and is already supporting local golf teams at the high school level.

“Back Nine is about giving local Novi golfers a place to golf year-round. We have great technology and that’s why we’re partnered with Full Swing,” Harris said. “We’re sponsoring the (Detroit Catholic Central) boys golf team. … Walled Lake Western’s head coach also said their boys and girls are going to be golfing here.”

Tomorrow’s Golf League has skyrocketed in TV ratings as well, further proving the national interest in simulated golf. TGL was founded by Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy and Mike McCarley and is a televised indoor league that had its inaugural season in 2025.

“We’re the only indoor golf company that has the TGL course from season one and we’re going to be getting it for season two,” Harris said. “We’ll have our TGL watch parties on Tuesdays; you’re going to get to play while watching them.”

“When I hit a slice … I think I know what I’m doing, but you see in the data that actually my clubface was shut and it was my club path that caused that slice,” Harris said. “You don’t always know what you did … and that’s why a lot of people have shifted towards indoor golf even in season.”

The growth of sim golf has been so rapid that seemingly all the golf spots in the area are thriving despite the amount of competition.

“Well, the growth from a membership standpoint has been significant,” said Paul Delmotte, owner of Modern Eagle Golf Club. “I think the awareness is a lot larger. … There’s easily another two brands that are making na-

Oakland County Animal Shelter has new dog licensure program

Dog licenses are no longer available for purchase with the city of Novi, as the Oakland County Animal Shelter and Pet Adoption Agency launched a new dog licensing website in December. The website, oaklandmich.docupet.com, offers the same price for dog licenses as owners have paid in past, as well as an additional nonrefundable service fee for the online service. The fees start at $15; there are many different types based on different factors and terms of years.

The license purchase includes a 24/7 lost pet service and the option for designer tags. The tags will be mailed to residents by DocuPet. Because of the change, 2025 dog license expirations have been extended through March 31, 2026.

Dog owners have until June 1 to purchase the dog license for 2026, before late fees are assessed.

Dog licenses are valid for one- or three-year increments. Renewal information will be sent to dog owners through DocuPet.

Those who wish to purchase their dog license via mail may download the form from the website and follow the instructions.

Happy birthday, Michigan

Earlier this week, Jan. 26 marked 189 years since Michigan officially joined the union as the 26th state.

Southfield resident named referee for Super Bowl LX

SOUTHFIELD — Southfield resident Shawn Smith has been selected to be the referee of Super Bowl LX on Feb. 8 in Santa Clara, California.

The game will be played at Levi’s Stadium, the home of the San Francisco 49ers, and will feature the New England Patriots of the AFC and the Seattle Seahawks of the NFC.

The title of referee is a prestigious one. As referee, Smith will be the head official in the biggest sporting event of the year. This is Smith’s 11th postseason assignment and his first Super Bowl.

The crew for the game has a total of eight officials and eight alternates who will be ready if needed. According to footballzebras.com, a website that provides news on football officials, Smith was an alternate in each of the previous two Super Bowls.

“The Super Bowl (LX) assignment is just a really big deal for me,” Smith said in a video that all game officials record before the Super Bowl, as officials aren’t permitted to participate in media interviews during the season. “Working to become recognized as one of the top officials in the league and getting to work in the biggest game is just a heck of an accomplishment.”

Smith got his start officiating recreational basketball leagues as a teenager. He then continued at Ferris State University and didn’t start officiating football until after he graduated.

“A few years after I graduated from college, I registered with the state of Michigan and made it official to become a registered football and basketball official,” Smith said. “I began my journey at the high school ranks and the Pee Wee ranks.”

Smith has been an official for the NFL since 2015 and was promoted to referee in 2018. He’s officiated a postseason game every year he’s been eligible.

‘Fun Fridays’ for adults with developmental disabilities

Adults with developmental disabilities are invited to make a craft and enjoy lunch. Participants should bring a lunch or purchase one from the library cafe. The next event will be from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Jan. 30 in the Youth Activity Room at the Novi Public Library. To register, go to novilibrary.org.

chiatric treatment with the hope of regaining competency, and Mr. Xureb, you’re going to look into some things and present them to the court when we return,” Law said.

“Will I go to forensic center?” Li asked his attorney.

“That is the hope, that they have a bed for you and that they will get you placement sooner rather than later,” Xuereb said. “I don’t know how backed up they are.”

Xuereb explained to Li that the first step is to generate an order and that an examination be done for the center to figure out where to place him.

“I will listen to my lawyers,” Li said through an interpreter.

“Sounds like a good plan,” Law said.

“It’s pretty straightforward; he was

found incompetent but restorable by MDHHS (Michigan Department of Health and Human Services), and both the prosecutors and the defence stipulated with that finding,” said Jeff Wattrick, Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office public information officer. “So, everything is kind of on hold, and then in 30 days will be another hearing to review where his status is.”

Wattrick said that it is rare for a person to be found incompetent.

“I don’t know if we have any hard data on it, but obviously it’s a case by case situation,” he said.

“I would think, just eyeballing it, but anecdotally it’s not something I see every day,” Wattrick said.

Li is scheduled for a review hearing on Feb. 18 and then a probable cause hearing on April 15.

ON LEARNING

Multiple choice:

EDUCATION OPTIONS ABOUND FOR FAMILIES

BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com

When it comes to educating your children, there are a multitude of options to consider before choosing the right fit.

The key, experts say, is finding a suitable learning environment for your child — whether it be at a traditional public, charter, private, home, virtual or other school.

Schools of Choice

According to a Bridge Michigan analysis of the state’s latest enrollment data, one in four Michigan K-12 students attend school at a charter or in a Schools of Choice district.

Michigan’s Schools of Choice provisions in Section 105 and 105c of the State School Aid Act allow local school districts to enroll nonresident students and count them in membership without having to obtain approval from the district of residence.

While a few dozen public school districts in the state — including Rochester Community Schools and Grosse Pointe — do not accept most students from other districts,

the majority of Michigan’s 532 public school districts welcome choice.

The Troy School District, for example, offers a limited School of Choice program, allowing students from specific areas to enroll, with priority for siblings of current Schools of Choice students.

“Troy is really known for its strong academics, enrichment, athletics, and performing arts and has always been in the top three in the state for many things. Because of that reputation, that helps Troy immensely,” said Kendra Montante, director of communications and strategic initiatives for the Troy School District. “We also have a very diverse community, which is amazing, so that is a draw as well.”

Schools of Choice, Montante explained, helps maintain district enrollment while providing educational opportunities, with specific seat numbers announced annually.

“Over the years, School of Choice programs have changed based on things like enrollment needs, so for the last eight or nine years, we have not done a significant

are able to take over the project or penalize their subcontractors, which we don’t,” Fischer said. “I will say this; we have as much control over GLWA as we do over setting electricity rates.”

Last year, GLWA completed a more than $110 million redundancy loop project in the water transmission system to restore the water services of the communities served by the failed main in that area, the release states.

“Because this transmission main has seen three significant breaks in the last seven years it is critical that we take an aggressive approach to addressing the results of this recent inspection,” Cheryl Porter, chief operating officer, water and field services at GLWA, said in a press release. “Completely replacing nearly one mile of this main, which the data shows has significantly deteriorated in the last several years, will assist us in delivering the level of service these communities deserve and that we are committed to providing.”

solves the neighborhood and commercial. It’s a walkable community.”

He said that they want to make it so that people can go from the retail end to the nearby Novi Dog Park by walking through natural areas.

Zimmerman said that they believe it is compatible with the needs listed in the 2025 master plan for quality and variety of housing. He said that according to the master plan, townhomes are the second-most requested type of housing.

“If you look through the aims and goals of the new master plan, we are heartened to see that we really fit in there pretty well,” said Zimmerman.

Several local homeowners came to the meeting to speak out against the development, expressing their concerns that the development will be situated on wetlands, woodlands and a floodplain area.

However, according to the city, the project’s wetland impacts have been minimized to 0.1 acre, which means that less than 1% of the wetland area on the property is impacted. The plan for the development has 15.87 acres of wetlands, woodlands, and floodplain area that is to be protected by a conservation easement.

“There’s a floodway that runs through that area, but there’s no development occurring in that, and none of the condominiums in Ridgeview (of Novi) or in this new neighborhood will be built within the floodway,” said Jason Lacoangeli, a planner with Toll Brothers. “So, no flood insurance through

FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) would be required for homeowners based on all of the maps and the data that we have.”

The motion to approve was made by Councilman Dave Staudt.

“When I see 15 acres of permanent conservation easement, it makes me smile,” Staudt said.

The approval for the PRO was for a third option for a pathway to be made as a berm cut-through at the nearby River Oaks West apartments.

The developer had originally planned to use the existing stub on the Ridgeview of Novi townhomes community pathway, but they eliminated that after talking with the Ridgeview homeowners association.

The homeowners requested that the developer not connect the two communities because of liability and to provide a barrier. The developer has agreed to put in evergreen trees.

“I think we initially did not want to see this project come to fruition, but I think the writing is on the wall and something is going to happen, whether it’s a commercial development or it’s a planned residential,” said Brad Wayne, who represented the Ridgeview homeowners association.

“We are totally in agreement with what we heard with the three items with the Ridgeview homeowners association,” Zimmerman said.

Several council members complimented the developer on the willingness to work with the neighboring homeowners.

Modern Eagle takes an unmanned approach to indoor golf. The golfers become members, sign up for a time, and they have the entire bay to themselves. This concept showcases another wrinkle in the indoor golf scene, and that’s the slight differences between competitors in the market.

Places like X-Golf are big spaces where you can get food and drinks and have a good time, where others are more focused on improving the user’s golf game. There’s lesson-based locations and completely unmanned businesses. All of the different angles benefit the consumers of indoor golf.

“There’s a handful of people that have opened really large facilities in the upper east

side, Macomb area,” Delmotte said. “You really have everything from small to large and everything in between.”

The future of simulator golf is somewhat uncertain. The growth has been so rapid over the last few years that it’s hard to tell where and when it will plateau. One thing is for sure, Novi residents should never have a shortage of options.

“It remains to be seen. We’ve only been open a year and a half … and just since October a lot of other places have come online, and others are about to,” Delmotte said. “I don’t know what’s going to happen … but it’s growing and it’s come a long way, even just since we opened.”

Schools

amount of Schools of Choice. We have done a little bit of it because our goal was to right size the district a little bit and determine where we were at with our student population and our schools. That’s not uncommon. Many districts do that.”

More recently, as many districts across the state face declining student enrollment, Montante said the Troy School District polled families and received feedback supporting further opening up its Schools of Choice program rather than potentially closing schools with lower student enrollment.

“For the 2026-27 school year, we opened it up a little bit more for grades kindergarten, first grade, sixth, seventh and eighth grade,” Montante said.

The Montessori method

A popular educational approach that differs from traditional public and private schools’ teacher-led, age-segregated, curriculum-focused option is the Montessori method.

Tanya Dallo, who owns Country Hills Montessori in Farmington Hills, said the Montessori method — established by Dr. Maria Montessori in the 1890s — is based on the philosophy that students learn best by self-directed activities and observing the world around them.

Country Hills Montessori, which serves children ages 14 months to 9 years in mixedage classes, offers a more individual approach to education, Dallo says, with different selfdirected experiences for every child.

“A Montessori education is designed to develop the full child, so it’s not just the academics, we focus on their social and emotional growth, too, to set them up to be lifelong learners,” she said.

To foster independence, children can choose the subjects they want to study, depending on their interests — things like art, music, foreign language, gardening, science, math, geography, and reading skills — and they are

encouraged to reason, cooperate, negotiate and understand along the way.

Dallo, who has been providing Montessori education for 32 years, says the method works.

“I’ve seen kids graduate, go through med school to become doctors, we have lawyers, we have a student who is a sheriff,” she said. “It’s so rewarding and it’s wonderful to see.”

GATE programs an option for some

The Avondale School District launched its GATE, or Gifted And Talented Education program during the 2017-2018 school year, enrolling approximately 31 students in two multiage third and fourth grade classrooms at Woodland Elementary School.

At that time, Superintendent James Schwarz said the idea was that it would be a selfcontained magnet program to service truly gifted students, being that there was not one in this area — a public school that services students to that end, in a program specific for that ability.

In 2019, the program more than doubled — with 74 students enrolled in four multiage classrooms: two second-and third-grade split classes, and two fourth-and fifth-grade split classes.

To meet the increasing demand for enrollment, the GATE program moved into a dedicated building, the Avondale Meadows Learning Center in Rochester Hills, with students in second through eighth grades eligible to be part of the program. Today, the school has grown to serve over 400 students.

Upon reaching eighth grade, Schwarz said GATE students then go to high school, where they can differentiate into a wide variety of honors choices, Advanced Placement, dual enrollment and early college. GATE students can complete their high school requirements in half the time, which allows them to take AP or dual enrollment courses.

The GATE program is open to students in second through eighth grades within the Avondale School District and those outside the district through Schools of Choice, as space allows. Applications for students within the district are typically due in the fall, and Schools of Choice applications are typically due in February.
