EXPLORE No charges for officer involved in fatal shooting TOUTING THE DELIGHTS OF HOLLAND, MICHIGAN/16A
BY MARY BETH ALMOND malmond@candgnews.com
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A Shelby Township police officer who fatally shot an armed man earlier this summer will not face criminal charges, according to the Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office.
Macomb County Sheriff Anthony Wickersham and Macomb County Prosecutor Peter Lucido explained the investigation’s findings during a press conference Aug. 7 at the Sheriff ’s Office in Mount Clemens. “This type of incident is hard for everybody involved — the officers involved and the family,” Wickersham said.

Thomas Antonio Jackson, 41, of Troy, died after the June 3 incident in Shelby Township, which police said stemmed from a traffic stop on a white Dodge Caravan near Van Dyke Avenue and 22 Mile Road at approximately 3:16 p.m. At that time, Jackson, of Troy, who authorities say had a suspended license, got out
of the Dodge Caravan he was driving and fled from police, running through the parking lot of a coffee shop and other neighboring businesses. The officer who chased Jackson on foot gave commands for him to stop and eventually deployed a Taser two times, but his See SHOOTING on page 8A
Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation prepares for upcoming Glow Run BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com
UTICA — On Sept. 20, community members can participate in the Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation’s 14th annual Glow Run to further support advocacy and active programming for young adults as they address their cancer diagnoses. The Cassie Hines Shoes Cancer Foundation was started in 2012 after Cassie Hines, the daughter of CHSCF Executive Director Karen Hines, passed away from a rare form of kidney cancer. Cassie Hines was in high school when she was first battling cancer and passed away when she was in college. “So, she was a young adult who was surrounded by people that loved her and supported her, but there was still a level of isolation and loneliness that was there, and when Cassie, about two years into her treatment, went to a camp program and met other people her age that had similar experiences, different cancers but the same experience, it changed the way she was able to look at her life and just the way that she lived with cancer,” Karen Hines said. “So, before she passed away, she had said, ‘I would love for other people who have to go through what I went through to

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A Detroit man is facing charges after reportedly breaking into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in Shelby Township. Shelby Township police received a report of a residential break-in near West Utica and Ryan roads at 4:30 a.m. July 28. The caller reportedly told police that she had received videos on her phone of her ex-boyfriend — later identified as 31-year-old Gjervon Williams — inside her apartment while she was out. When officers arrived on the scene, Williams had already fled, prompting a warrant to be issued for breaking and entering, police said. According to reports, Williams’ vehicle was spotted on Flock license plate reader cameras in Shelby Township Aug. 8, and he was arrested by police soon after. Williams The arrest, according to Shelby Township Police Chief Robert Shelide, shows why investigative tools like Flock are valuable. “By combining technology with proactive police work, our great officers were able to quickly locate Williams, get him into custody and prevent any further criminal activity,” Shelide said in a prepared statement. During a search of the vehicle, police found a loaded firearm that they said had been stolen in Detroit. Officers also recovered several credit cards that were not in his name in his possession, according to a press release. Williams was arraigned Aug. 8 in 41A District Court in Shelby Township on charges of home invasion, receiving and concealing a firearm, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm by a prohibited person, and possession of ammunition by a prohibited person — all felonies. “Shelby Township is now safer with another stolen gun off the streets and this criminal behind bars,” Shelide said in a prepared statement. Williams’ attorney, Timothy Juengel, could not be reached for comment at press time. Williams’ probable cause conference was scheduled for the afternoon of Aug. 18, after press time, and his preliminary examination was scheduled for Aug. 25.

State representative supports grant proposals for Utica, Sterling Heights BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com
UTICA — State Rep. Ron Robinson, R-Utica, appeared before the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor and Economic Opportunity in late July to advocate in support of two grant proposals for public safety and infrastructure in Macomb County. One of the grant proposals is a $250,000 grant for the Utica Police Department. The request would fund public safety equipment. “Utica is a small-town community with big city problems,” Robinson said in a press release. “Despite only being two and a half square miles in area, the community sees many visitors, traffic, and at times, crime due to our many tourist attractions. This investment would ensure the safety of our officers and the public alike.” Utica Police Chief Matt Kaluzny explained more about what the grant would fund. “The City of Utica and the Utica Police Department remain committed to being fiscally responsible with taxpayer funds while ensuring the highest level of public safety for our community,” Kaluzny said in an email. “We have been working with Representative Ron Robinson’s office to pursue grant funding that would allow us to modernize and upgrade critical equipment needed to better serve our residents.” Currently, the Utica Police Department’s inventory includes more than 9-yearold Tasers that are considered to be beyond their recommended service time. “With significant advancements in lesslethal technology, we are seeking to replace them with the Taser 10, which provides increased range, accuracy, and reliability,” Kaluzny said in an email. “The Tasers are great tools for the officers designed to safely

incapacitate an individual resulting in improving overall safety for both officers and the public.” Besides the Tasers, other new equipment would include lightweight ballistic panels, ballistic shields, a drone, a Faro laser, and a TruNarc handheld analyzer. A Faro laser scanner collects data and measurements to document crime and crash scenes. TruNarc handheld analyzers help police quickly identify controlled substances. “These upgrades will significantly enhance officer safety, improve our response capabilities, and allow us to continue providing high-quality service to the city of Utica,” Kaluzny said in an email. “We are grateful for the ongoing support and advocacy from Representative Robinson on behalf of our city.” For more information, visit cityofutica. org/departments/utica_police/index.php. The other grant proposal is a $2.5 million grant for the Oakland-Macomb Interceptor Drain Drainage District. It would fund the construction of a new odor-control facility for sanitary sewer odors along the 15 Mile Road corridor and the ITC corridor. The facility would reduce, if not eliminate, the smells and help preserve the sewer infrastructure, according to Robinson. “In short, the odor hurts our community, and we can take steps towards resolving the issue,” Robinson said in a press release. “From the Sterling Heights Fire Station to the Sterling Heights High School, this issue negatively (affects) nearly 50,000 citizens, and I’m aiming to fix that. This is a smart investment in both quality of life and longterm infrastructure sustainability, and I hope to see both critical grants included in the final state budget.” For more information, visit oakgov.com or macombgov.org.

WATCH Man allegedly pulls out pocketknife on neighbor
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Police officers were dispatched to the 8000 block of 24 Mile Road for a neighbor dispute at 7:54 p.m. Aug. 3. Upon arrival, they spoke with one neighbor, who stated that another neighbor had tried fighting him. The officers met with both parties and found that one neighbor was upset that the other neighbor would stare at him as he left his apartment. An eyewitness said she saw both parties start to argue and then exchange punches. The witness stated that, at one point, one of the neighbors pulled out a pocketknife and held it down at his side just as the fight was breaking up.

Truck stolen, recovered
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Police officers were dispatched to a restaurant in the 45000 block of Mound Road at 1:12 p.m. Aug. 3 for a report of a stolen vehicle. The owner of a 2005 GMC pickup truck said it had been stolen Aug. 2, but he did not call police. Instead, he decided to look for it on his own and located it at the restaurant. The man said the vehicle was unlocked, and the keys were left inside. The officers were able to get video footage from surveillance cameras and observed a male suspect exiting the vehicle. Detectives were investigating.
Police catch man driving drunk in Corvette
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — The Police Department’s dispatch center put out a beon-the-lookout report in the area of 25 Mile and Shelby roads for an intoxicated man driving a Chevrolet Corvette at 1:27 p.m. July 30. The vehicle was located by an officer from Shelby Township, who conducted a traffic stop and observed the driver had “extremely slurred speech.” The driver reportedly admitted to having two beers before driving.

The officers arrested the driver for his third operating while intoxicated offense and lodged him at the Shelby Township Police Department, according to a police report.

SHELBY TOWNSHIP — A police of-
ficer was dispatched to the LensCrafters at 14195 Hall Road for a retail fraud at 1:55 p.m. July 30.

Woman reports being stalked by sister’s husband
SHELBY TOWNSHIP — Officers were dispatched to area of Mound and Hall roads for a stalking/harassment complaint at 6:18 p.m. Aug. 10. Upon arrival, they met with a woman who said she was being stalked by her sister’s husband. As the woman was speaking with the officers, the alleged stalker was driving in the area of the apartment. A police officer stopped the man and asked why he was in the area. The man reportedly stated that he wanted to apologize for marrying her sister. The man was advised to have no further contact with the woman. The woman was given information on how to get a personal protection order and advised to call 911 if he returned.

The officers put the driver through a series of sobriety tests. While the officers were still on the scene, they observed a nitrous oxide tank in the car. The driver was arrested for operating while under the influence of drugs. The officer completed a blood draw
due to suspected drugs being in the driver’s system. Prior to placing the subject in a jail cell, another law enforcement agency reached out advising that the same subject was also a possible suspect in a retail fraud and assault that had occurred prior to the meeting with the Shelby Township police. The driver was lodged at the Shelby Township Police Department and police said the results of his blood test will determine what he will be charged with. — Mary Beth Almond
Man arrested for reportedly trying to steal from Walmart

efforts were ineffective, according to police. As Jackson continued to flee, another officer joined the chase, vocalizing that Jackson was armed with a gun. “As you can see in the video, Mr. Jackson pulled out a handgun and continued to run,” Wickersham said, following a presentation of the officer’s body cam footage. “A second officer arrived, and you can hear him yelling, ‘Gun! Gun!’” Despite several verbal commands from police for Jackson to drop his gun, he did not. At that time, one officer fired eight shots, striking Jackson five times — once in the back of the leg, once in the buttocks, and three times in the upper front torso. Jackson was then transported to Corewell Health Beaumont Troy Hospital, where police said he died from the gunshot wounds. The Macomb County Sheriff ’s Office investigated the incident and presented its findings to the Macomb County Prosecutor’s Office. Lucido said that after an “exhaustive review of the investigation,” his office’s major crime unit determined that it was “a justified
shooting” and no charges would be filed. “Why did he get out of the car and run,” Lucido said, when asked why the shooting was found to be justified. “Also, once there’s a gun involved, there’s a lethal duty, at that point there, to protect not only all others that are around, but also the officers themselves. In addition, when he was ordered and commanded to stop, he still went on after the tase attempt. There was also another officer on the opposite side yelling, “Gun! Gun! Gun!’ As a result of that, you have a duty to protect yourself and anyone else, as a lawful officer. In this case here, all he had to do was drop to the ground and obey the commands of the officer.” Wickersham said Jackson had a 9 mm Ruger pistol on him at the time of the shooting. The handgun, he said, was reported stolen out of Detroit in 2023 in a larceny-fromauto complaint. At the time of the incident, Jackson had several warrants for his arrest — including a probation violation out of district court in Canton and failure to appear for traffic offenses out of Dearborn, Bloomfield Hills, Bloomfield Township and Rochester Hills. The officer involved in the shooting — who police said has been with the department for seven years and has no prior disci-

The officer, Wickersham said, has since returned to work, following the results of the investigation. Jackson’s family has retained an attorney, according to authorities. “The Thomas Antonio Jackson family is deeply disappointed that criminal charges will not be brought against the Shelby Township officer who shot and killed Thomas,” Ven Johnson, president of Ven Johnson Law,
said in an emailed statement. “The bodycam footage speaks for itself. Thomas clearly did not intend to harm the officer or anyone else. Running away from a police officer by a person who is not threatening an officer or anyone else, should not result in a death sentence. The family has retained Ven Johnson Law to fully and completely investigate this case from the civil law perspective, and that is exactly what we will do.” At press time, the family had not filed a civil lawsuit.

HUMAN ELEMENT CONSIDERED A BENEFIT AT LOCAL SHOPPING PLAZAS BY SARAH WRIGHT swright@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — For those who have active roles in various business spaces in the metro Detroit area, shopping plazas can provide some benefits for in-person shopping as opposed to buying online. A survey conducted by the International Council of Shopping Centers notes that there are around 115,000 shopping centers in the U.S. with nearly 90% being small, neighborhood and convenience store centers. Also, about 83% of Americans visit a shopping center at least once a week and 20% go to a shopping center more than 10 times a week.
According to statistics compiled by CapitalOne Shopping, American consumers spent $5.927 trillion in retail stores and $1.337 trillion online in 2024, though this value does not account for seasonal adjustments. The Birmingham-Bloomfield Chamber of Commerce works with major retail centers around the Maple Road/Telegraph Road, Telegraph Road/Square Lake Road, and 13 Mile Road/Southfield Road intersections, around both east and west ends, as well as the Adams Square Shopping Center. The plazas feature a combination of local retail stores, restaurants and chain stores. Chamber President Joe Bauman says the See PLAZAS on page 14A

WUJEK-CALCATERRA & SONS: Round-the-Clock Compassion since 1913
With 15 licensed funeral directors, totaling 350 years of combined experience, Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is uniquely qualified to bring peace and comfort to grieving families in their time of need. And these aren’t ordinary funeral directors. Each one was specifically sought out by the Wujek and Calcaterra families based on their individual talents and expertise. Licensed funeral director Dominick Astorino, managing director at Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons, is honored to be a part of this exceptional team. “My colleagues and I are career professionals,” stated Astorino. “Most of us have been with Wujek-Calcaterra for over 20 years. We are dedicated to our career in a long-standing way. “We also have an excellent collection of younger funeral directors. As the embalming professor at Wayne State University School of Mortuary Science, I have taught many of them. I see their potential from the first day I meet them and watch them develop.” These devoted individuals represent a variety of religious and cultural backgrounds. They have formed enduring relationships with local families and the community. They are familiar with the neighborhood churches and have worked alongside their pastors. This allows them to connect with all types of families, putting them at
ease at a most difficult and overwhelming time. Furthermore, their compassion isn’t strictly confined to business hours. Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is one of the few funeral homes in the area where there is someone present 24/7. According to Astorino, “We have never taken a day off since opening our original location in Detroit back in 1913. Christmas, holidays, brownouts, the worst snow storms – there has always been someone here to pick up the phone. We treat our families the way we would like to be treated. They never have to talk to an answering machine, and they know their loved one is never left unattended.” In addition to the 15 funeral directors, there is a support staff of 35 capable and compassionate individuals to complete the team at Wujek-Cacaterra & Sons. “We can serve all of our families, giving them everything they need – much like a personalized concierge.” From preplanning to aftercare services, Wujek-Calcaterra & Sons is available seven days a week, 365 days a year. They offer two welcoming locations: 36900 Schoenherr Road in Sterling Heights, phone (586) 588-9117; and 54880 Van Dyke Avenue in Shelby Township, phone (586) 217-3316.

personal service of in-person shopping may be more appealing than the convenience of online shopping. “There is a much greater chance you are going to be satisfied with your purchase when you can see and feel it before you buy it,” Bauman said in an email. “And if a problem does occur, it is much more likely to be resolved if you have established a relationship with the local retailer.” “There is no denying the level of competition being brought by these massive, online retailers. But there are still plenty of people who want to deal with another human rather than a computer screen,” Bauman added. At Petzold Enterprises, Tom Petzold and members of his family manage a portfolio of neighborhood shopping centers. The business manages the Tech Plaza at 12 Mile Road and Van Dyke Avenue in Warren as well as other centers in Detroit and Dearborn, among other locations. His grandfather started the business in the 1960s. “We try to focus on being in ... central(ly) located, convenient locations,”
Petzold said. “We are a small family business, and we have shopping centers that we lease out to a combination of tenants, some of whom are small family businesses like us and others are more corporate,” he added. In terms of the comparison of in-person shopping versus online shopping, Petzold says the positivity of the staff and the environment are really important to the consumer experience. “When you think about when you’re creating a shopping center, one thing I’ve learned is that one of the constituencies that you’re competing for is the staff that work inside the stores and when I say that I mean you want to make your shopping center attractive, safe, inviting and even a place that someone could be proud to go to work,” Petzold said. “Like, it’s clean and you attract better personnel that work in the stores when you build a better shopping center and that ultimately benefits the customer to have the best people in the stores.” Scott Marcus owns two locations of a franchise called Restore Hyper Wellness, one of which is located in a strip area at 643 S. Adams Road in Birmingham. The other is located in Northville. The business offers wellness services like intravenous fluids,
cryotherapy, compression therapy, red light therapy and a hyperbaric chamber. Marcus has had the locations for about four years. He says the Birmingham location is the busiest but that both spots are fairly busy. “For us it feels like the parking is excellent, so that’s definitely great for us because people come in and out and want ease of access,” Marcus said. “So for us it’s a great spot.” Because the business offers health services, there is not a huge concern about online business affecting them. The products have to be delivered in person. “Because most of what we do is therapytype services, so not something you can do online,” Marcus said. “You know, if someone wants to do cryotherapy for instance, that’s a cold chamber for three minutes. They’re not going to be able to buy something on Amazon to do that.” The Golden Fig Gallery of Fine Arts and Antiques is located in the Adams Square Shopping Plaza in Birmingham, at 725 S Adams Road, No. 170. It is an art gallery that offers a wide variety of artworks and antiquities that has been in business for over 30 years. “I did shows for contemporary artists,
but I didn’t find that was working as a business model for me, so I moved into just vintage art and pretty much everything in the gallery is old and most of the artists have passed away,” owner Ron Povlich said. Povlich works with a wide variety of older and younger customers. He previously did online sales before but, due to the cost of shipping and other sales factors, he found that it was not profitable. “This is a very funny market,” Povlich said. “You can’t tell online if something is real. I mean, it can look like a painting but in fact when you get it, it’s either a print, a very good lithograph print laid onto a canvas, embellished with clear paint strokes to make it look like a real painting, whereas people who come in here, they really want to put their hands on it and see it and know what they’re getting.” Call Staff Writer Sarah Wright at (586) 498-1068.

This year, starting at around 7:30 p.m., the run will start at Jimmy John’s Field in Utica and continue eastbound on Auburn Road to River Bends Park before returning to Jimmy John’s Field. In preparation for this event, at the Utica City Council meeting July 8, the City Council unanimously approved the closure of Auburn Road from Utica Road to Utica Square at around sunset, subject to coordination with the Utica Police Department. “We’ve done this pretty standard for
most of the years,” Ryan Swiatkowski, a representative with the CHSCF, said. “It’s the same thing as we are doing the past … years. We’re just asking for a quick road closure just for the portion right at sunset, which is about 7:30, and for it to go about an hour at most.” The event includes a 5K run/walk and a 1-mile fun run inside the park.

HOLLAND, MI — There’s no shortage of sandy shores or charming beach towns along the Lake Michigan coastline. Ask any avid Michigan beach goer to share their favorite sunbathing spot or lakeside town and they’ll likely have a favorite or two. Lately, I’ve been touting the delights of Holland, a spiffy, handsome community more famous for its colorful tulips and Dutch heritage than its beaches and resort amenities. At least that’s what I thought. Imagine my surprise late last summer when I ventured beyond the Lake Michigan beaches to explore downtown Holland and
discovered much more than a beach town. Holland’s tree- and flower-lined streets are home to upscale shops, al fresco dining, public art and much more. Holland’s vibe may be a bit more sophisticated than that of other beach communities along Lake Michigan, but it’s no less welcoming. You could spend long afternoons apresbeach browsing Holland’s nine-block downtown, where you’ll find everything from men’s and women’s clothing to home accents and gifts to Dutch souvenirs. Beach towels and chairs, and T-shirts — staples of any beach town — are less prominent here. See HOLLAND on page 18A

Holland from page 16A
Maybe that’s because Holland’s beaches are a short drive away. The city doesn’t sit on the shores of Lake Michigan but on the shores of Lake Macatawa. Neighborhoods border the 1,700-acre inland lake, which connects to the great lake by a channel. Downtown Holland impressed me for many reasons: the mix of architecture styles from the late 19th and early 20th century, including examples of Italianate, Late Victorian and Renaissance Revival; a vibrant, walkable downtown and the one-of-a-kind
retailers who add to the sense of being somewhere beyond Michigan. This is not a beach town that rolls up the sidewalks in the off season. In the winter, an underground heating system — known as Snowmelt — melts the snow and ice on downtown streets and sidewalks. It’s the largest municipally run snowmelt system in North America.

braised beef short ribs served with crispy brussels sprouts; tangy Rioja jus enhanced the flavor of beef so tender it fell apart. One lazy afternoon, I popped into New Holland Brewing Co., a downtown staple, to check out the beer selection. Full Circle, a Kolsch-style ale, one the craft brewer’s legacy brands, quenched my thirst after a long day on the beach. No visit here would not be complete without sampling Dutch-influenced fare. For traditional tastes, try a klompen cake (a buttermilk pancake-like treat) or saucijzenbroodjes (Dutch sausage rolls) at the two locations of deBoer’s Bakkerij (bakery). Breakfast was so filling, I never made it back to sample other “Dutch Stuff ” on the lunch menu. “A Taste of the Old Country,” a combination of a croquette, a pig in a blanket, a cup of pea soup and a slice of Dutch mild gouda cheese — sounded tempting.
Dutch heritage
In the spring, Holland transforms into a floral paradise, as more than 5 million tulips bloom in the gardens and parks, celebrating its Dutch heritage. One of the best venues to enjoy the tulips is Windmill Island Gardens. By summertime, of course, the tulips are long gone but the gardens remain well worth a visit. The gardens are replanted with annuals after tulip time. You’ll see dozens of varieties in themed beds. The well-manicured gardens are also home to Tour De Zwaan, the only authentic Dutch windmill operating in the country. The windmill still turns and grinds wheat into flour. From the top
of the five-story windmill, you can take in views of the 36-acre park. Stop at De Klomp Wooden Shoe & Delft Factory to buy a pair of traditional wooden shoes or Delftware pottery with its distinctive blue designs.
The beaches
And then there’s the beaches, which drew me to Holland in the first place. The primary beaches are Holland State Park and Tunnel Park, both on Lake Michigan and a short drive from downtown. There are other beaches, of course, but either of these is a solid choice for a summer day of sunshine, sand and water activities. Tunnel Park is located north of the state park and is named after a tunnel that cuts through a dune to reach the expansive, sandy shoreline. The park also has a playground, a dune climb and a dune stairway that leads to scenic views of Lake Michigan. The 142-acre Holland State Park boasts beaches on both Lake Michigan and Lake Macatawa. Kayak, canoe, and standup paddleboard rentals are available at the Macatawa Boathouse. At the park pavilion, Beachplace Cafe and Shop rents chairs, umbrellas, beach wagons and volleyballs. The cafe serves standard beach fare — burgers, fries and more, and the gift shop stocks sunscreens, inflatable beach toys, snorkels and masks. Downtown Holland may create the sense of being worlds away, but the beaches — especially Holland State Park with its views of the iconic Red Lighthouse — will remind you of exactly where you are.
