Novi residents approve bond to build public safety facilities

CONSTRUCTION TO BEGIN IN LATE 2026, EARLY 2027

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

The $120 million bond for new public safety buildings and technological advancements was passed by Novi voters on Aug. 5.

“This is a win for all of Novi,” said Novi Director of Communications Sheryl Walsh-Molloy, who resides

For the third year running, Novi High School seniors kicked off their final year of school by claiming and painting their parking spots Aug.11.

Despite the intense heat, more

than 200 seniors spent the following week decorating their spots with their friends and family.

“It’s a really good, like, bonding activity,” said Avrie Antrobius, 17. Antrobius said she was able to work with her friends, and they helped each other decorate their parking spots.

The annual event is a fundraiser for the Senior All Night Party, which will take place at the school following graduation on May 17, 2026. The party gives students a safe way to celebrate their graduation with their classmates before they go their separate ways.

SAPPORO HIBACHI STEAKHOUSE

Sapporo Hibachi Steakhouse and Sushi is probably best known for...its hibachi lunch and dinner meals of course. But customers know that Sapporo is much more than that, from its daily specials to its recently expanded menu.

e restaurant opened in 2017 and has been known for its great take outs ever since. Owner Jenny Wu has more than three decades of experience in running successful takeout restaurants and managing a catering business, regularly providing food for the meetings hosted by various departments at the University of Michigan, and worked closely with the Ann Arbor Meals on Wheels in providing food for the seniors in our community.

Nabeyaki Udon is a Japanese noodle soup dish that includes a poached egg, chicken, Japanese vegetables, seaweed and 2 pieces of tempura shrimp.  Like other noodle soup dishes, it can be ordered with Ramen instead, an authentic Japanese

creativity and a unique avor pro le.

Hibachi o erings include numerous types of meat, seafood, tofu and vegetables.  For those couples who are celebrating a special event, or are simply very hungry, may want to consider the Sapporo Extreme for Two people.  It includes all of the meats, seafood with hibachi rice, noodles and vegetables, and even lobster and let and more.

Sapporo meals are full of avor from sushi to hibachi to salads and soups.  Wu and her sta have added recently to their menu Ramen noodle soups and special sushi appetizers and rolls.  For example,

One of Sapporo's most popular appetizers is the Crab Rangoon, which can be an appetizer or part of a light lunch or comes with the Teriyaki dinner meals. Sapporo's chefs have also created a new batch of special sushi rolls that o er

"We are best known for our steak, so that's our best seller but really we're known for our wide range of menu options."

Wu said. "We like to o er new menu items so people can come in and enjoy something new even if they've been here before"

Everyday there can be a celebration at Sapporo Hibachi Steakhouse because guests celebrating an important event in their lives such as a birthday or a

graduation will also receive a free gift along with their meals.  Guests without a speci c reason to celebrate can still save with an Early Bird Discount of 10 percent o .  Seniors 65 and over and veterans can also save 10 percent o menu prices anytime.

Plus, patrons can enjoy unique happy hour specials weekdays from 2:305:30pm and lunch specials before then.  Customers who haven't been to Sapporo in several months may also notice that the restaurant has undergone some interior remodeling work to lighten colors, increase space and provide a more relaxing atmosphere for all.

e restaurant is open seven days a week from noon to 9:30p.m. for dining in or takeout service.  Wu promises that all takeout will be properly packed so that hot food stays hot and cold food remains cool.

Novi police, firefighters take youth school shopping

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

To help ensure that children and teens in the community start the school year off right, members of the Novi Public Safety Department, in partnership with Novi Youth Assistance, took 15 students shopping at the Kohl’s department store in Novi Aug. 9.

The kids met up with the police officers for an early morning shopping spree at 8 a.m. so they could shop before the store opened to the public. Each student was allotted $250 to spend on things needed for school.

Kasha Dreasky, a mom of three, said the program is wonderful for single moms like herself. Dreasky said that her kids have participated in the program for the last three years and really enjoy it.

“I love this program that they have. It’s definitely a big help for parents that are struggling, especially the single parents,” Dreasky said.

She said that for her, the best part of the event is that kids get to see that police aren’t bad people, as social media tends to portray them to be.

Novi Taco Fest hopes to have big turnout

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

The fourth annual Novi Taco Fest will take over the parking lot at Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk between the Power House Gym and Chuck E. Cheese Aug. 22-24.

The Novi Taco Fest will have 40 food trucks from all over the metro Detroit area, at least 30 of which specialize in different types of tacos. There will also be some specialty taco trucks that offer a different spin on the concept of a taco. This includes barbecue tacos of-

fered by Smoke Rattle & Roll, Thanksgiving-themed tacos with turkey and stuffing, sushi and Asian tacos offered by Spicy Bangkok, and Native American fry bread tacos offered by Peace, Love and Tacos.

Bart Loeb, whose wife, Karyn Stenz, coordinates the event, said the weather forecast is looking excellent for this weekend, and as they have already sold numerous tickets, he feels that the event should go as well as it has been planned.

“It looks like the weather is going to be perfect. She’s (Stenz) going to have a great weekend, and if she

Hometown artist exhibits at the DIA

The Detroit Institute of Arts recently announced the acquisition of “Baby Bling,” a multimedia art installation by Tiff Massey, a native of Detroit. The piece was previously part of her collection “7 Mile + Livernois,” which she recently exhibited at the DIA. “Baby Bling” now enters the museum’s permanent collection.

“Tiff Massey represents the extraordinary creative spirit that defines Detroit today,” said Salvador Salort-Pons, DIA director. “‘Baby Bling’ exemplifies how contemporary artists can transform everyday objects into profound statements about identity, community, and cultural celebration. … This acquisition not only honors Massey’s remarkable vision but also ensures that future generations will experience this powerful meditation on Black beauty and resilience within our permanent collection.”

Novi to have new sewer drain district

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

At the request of Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner Jim Nash, the Novi City Council approved two resolutions to authorize the conversion of the city’s existing county drain facilities, known as the Huron Rouge Sewage Disposal System, into a new intercounty drain district, the Rouge Valley Sanitary Inter-County Drain.

“The city’s sanitary sewer flows through a system partly owned by Oakland County and ultimately treated by Wayne County, with the city ultimately paying Oakland County for service,” City Manager Victor Cardenas said. “Currently, the arrangement operates under the very famous Act 342, which gives Oakland County’s water resources commissioner administrative control over decisions and improvements.”

He said that Nash asked that the legal framework be changed to Chapter 20 and Chapter 21 drains under the Michigan Drain Code. Chapter 20 covers Novi and Oakland County. Chapter 21 covers Northville and a portion of Wayne County.

The change will not affect the dayto-day operations, according to Cardenas.

However, it will change the oversight to a drainage board. The board will be subject to the Open Meetings Act and formally approve any projects.

Carrie Cox, manager with the Oakland County Water Resources Commissioner’s office, said that the board will consist of the chair of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners, the chair of the Oakland County Fiscal Services Committee, and the countywide elected water resources commissioner. She said they are appointed under the state drain code.

Novi City Council member Brian Smith asked if the city would still have the same input it currently has with the current arrangement.

“Technically, right now under the 342 and Jim Nash as the agent, you don’t really have a lot of say. … I mean, we work with you guys because Jim Nash is a wonderful person, but he doesn’t have to; it is purely his decision. So, this does give you more say in an elected body to actually come forward and speak up and have a place where you can be heard, which you did not have under the 342,” Cox said.

State Fair beefs up security following 2024 shooting incident

BY CHARITY MEIER cmeier@candgnews.com

The Michigan State Fair at the Suburban Collection Showplace, 46100 Grand River Ave., has beefed up its security measures this year in the aftermath of the 2024 fatal shooting that occurred in a nearby parking lot.

According to marketing and communications spokesman Craig Bender, the Suburban Collection Showplace has increased its security staff, shortened its hours and added other measures to protect the safety of everyone during the fair.

“As always, the Novi police are a significant section of our security, but of course,

C & G Newspapers publishes 21

we have our own security as well, and that’s certainly been beefed up. It’s everywhere,” Bender said.

As a result of the incident last year, anyone under 18 attending the fair must be accompanied by a parent or guardian at all times.

“You must be accompanied by a parent or guardian 24/7. There is no exception,” Bender said. “All children 18 or under need to be accompanied by a parent or guardian.”

He said organizers also have metal detectors in place, and the parking lots for the event will have a greater police presence.

“Those areas obviously will be heavily policed,” said Bender.

has a great weekend like I think she is going to have, she could have the biggest taco fest in Michigan,” Loeb said.

Along with the food trucks, the Novi Taco Fest will have a swarm of entertainment for all across two stages, including the ever-popular lucha libre wrestling, traditional dancing performed by the vibrant Ballet Folklorico Mexico Lindo dancers of Novi, a mariachi band, Latin jazz music by Damon Terrell, and the vocalistic stylings of C & G’s own Mark Reitenga. Reitenga will not only perform throughout the festival, but will also run one of the stages.

There will also be plenty of vendors and some local artisans, as well as activities available for children, such as face painting and several games.

“All of the food vendors are from the metro Detroit area and local, support local, and a lot of the taco trucks are Mexican American owned,” Stentz said. “All the dance troops are basically nonprofit organizations that we like to support, keeping cultural dance part of the community,” said Stentz.

There will also be several contests each day, including a pepper-eating contest, a ta-

co-eating contest, and a cutest-dog contest. Attendees can enter the contests and potentially win a prize.

The festival began as an art fair with a taco theme. Stentz wanted to provide artists with a way to show off their work.

“People in the arts often cannot afford to market on their own, so if you kind of bring things together as a collective and market for them, then it helps to promote everyone,” she said.

However, the idea of a taco festival was so popular that it blossomed into its own entity.

“I asked a few different taco trucks to participate, and when that was posted, it got like 6,000 likes overnight, so it was a complete 180 turnaround, and it really turned into a taco fest, whether we wanted it to be or not. It just happened,” Stentz said. “There was so much interest overnight that it was

moved to a bigger area, and within seven weeks it just transformed.

“Everyone likes them (tacos). I don’t really know anyone who doesn’t like them,’ Stentz said. “And even if you don’t like one kind of taco, there’s a different kind of taco.”

Although the event no longer includes an art fair, it still helps a lot of artists and provides work for many people.

“You’re not going to go into a bar and hear a mariachi band. So, it helps those groups gain some awareness and keep that style, that cultural style, going,” said Stentz.

“It’s super fun,” she said.

“I think it’s the funnest event in Michigan,” Loeb said. “Everyone loves tacos.”

Tickets can be purchased online at novitacofest.com for $7 or $10 at the gate. Members of the military and children get in free. Group and weekend packages are available online at novitacofest.com.

in the city. “Our police and fire services are exceptional, and now, thanks to the trust and support of our residents, they will have the modern, purpose-built facilities they deserve. This is more than a building project — it’s a promise to those who keep us safe that we value their service and believe in their mission. Together we’ve made an investment in safety, in our community and in Novi’s future.”

The 1-mill tax increase to be levied starting in 2026 for the approved bond will provide funding for the relocation and construction of Fire Stations Nos. 1-3, along with the police headquarters.

The Police Department, along with Fire Station No. 1, will be moved to a more centralized 78,500-square-foot new facility to be built on Lee BeGole Drive near the current police gun range. The city will also build a road to service the building. This part of the project is estimated to cost $91.85 million.

The new Fire Station No. 2 and Fire Station No. 3 will be 14,500-square-foot facilities to be located in north Novi and southeast Novi for an estimated cost of $13.15 million and $13 million, respectively.

Fire Station No. 4 will remain at its current location but receive some on-site improvements that are anticipated to cost $2 million.

The current buildings were built in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and because of the cinder block construction, they cannot be expanded, according to the city.

At the time the buildings were built, women were not commonly taking up careers in law enforcement. Today, women account for approximately 20% of the force.

The Police and Fire departments have more than doubled in size, with 73 officers now patrolling the streets. The police headquarters also provides office space for a variety of other related forces, including 25 civilian employees, roughly 10 people on a federal task force, approximately 10 Michigan State Police officers, 75 Community Emergency Response Team volunteers, and 30 Volunteers In Public Safety.

“We are incredibly grateful to the residents of Novi for their support and trust,” said Chief of Public Safety and Novi resident Erick Zinser. “Our teams come to work every day committed to protecting this community with professionalism, compassion, and pride. With these new facilities, we’ll have the space, tools and environment to train, collaborate and serve even more ef-

fectively. This investment shows that Novi stands behind its first responders — and we remain deeply honored to serve this community.”

Resident Holly Jones said she was opposed to the bond, not because she didn’t agree that the departments needed to update and upgrade buildings, but rather because she didn’t feel it was the right time to move forward with such a project.

“I don’t think it’s the right time to put all this money into it when the economy is so shaky,” Jones said. “I mean, I don’t know what is going on with the economy. I’m thinking there might be a recession soon. Hopefully not, but if you pay attention — I don’t know — it’s not looking good. So, it’s a good idea and I think we need to do it, but I think the economy needs to be better before I would feel comfortable with my rent and

my mom and my aunt’s stuff going up.”

Deputy City Clerk Melissa Morris said that it was a low voter turnout, but that it is typical for August elections.

“We have about 46,000 registered voters. It was only about a 20% turnout,” Morris said. “August elections tend to be lower. August (elections) in general tend to be lower than normal (November elections).”

In total, 9,562 ballots were cast, with 54.79% (5,239 votes) approving the bond proposal and 45.21% (4,323 votes) opposed.

“I don’t know if people just didn’t feel the need to vote. That’s kind of just how it panned out,” Morris said.

Designing the new buildings will begin this fall, and construction is anticipated to begin in late 2026 or early 2027.

HUMAN ELEMENT CONSIDERED A BENEFIT AT LOCAL SHOPPING PLAZAS

or 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.

Seeing Beyond Limits: How

Dr. John Jacobi Helps Patients Thrive With Low Vision

Low vision doesn’t mean the end of independence—and it certainly doesn’t mean the end of hope. At Beyond Low Vision in Novi, Dr. John Jacobi is transforming lives by helping patients with vision loss regain the ability to do the things they love.

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,

ones’ faces, and even drive in some cases.”

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.”

TOP GUN INC: Novi’s One-Stop Automotive Paint Repair Shop (Body

Shop Alternative)

While body shops handle large jobs and collision accidents, here at Top Gun, Incorporated our specialty is small repairs such as dented bumpers, scrapes/gouges in bumpers, small to medium size dings/dents, scratches, scufs and chips on the body, etc.

Top Gun is able to do these repairs cheaper because it takes less time and material. Less time usually means we would be working on the vehicle for a week or less.

Tese types of repairs that we do at Top Gun Inc. are great for lease return cars or a vehicle that you want to sell or trade-in, or for general upkeep. Top Gun, Inc. is a professional specialty paint repair company that has been doing work for the used car departments at many dealerships in the Detroit tri-county area for 33+ years.

Top Gun has established a great reputation over the years in the car industry and has been recognized as the only auto paint company that does minor repairs at the International Auto Show at Cobo Hall. Work is done on-site for any of the show cars that get scufed or damaged while moving into the showroom and placed for the event. We are very fortunate to have been asked to help with this many years ago.

As a small niche company, owner Bruce Antayas’ vision, insight, focus, and hard work is refected by Top Gun’s longevity and has brought his company to the top of the chart in the industry.

Plazas

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 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 therapy-type 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.”

Parking spots

Senior Ryan Burr said he chose to participate in the event to help fund the party, but he enjoyed hanging out with friends to work on the project.

“It’s nice to kind of reconnect with the people I haven’t seen in a while and still be able to hang out with the people I’ve been with all summer,” said Burr.

To participate in the event, students paid $105 for a designated parking spot in one of two student lots: the front lot off 10 Mile Road near the tennis courts and the theater, or the back lot off Taft Road near the football field. Forty-five dollars out of the purchase price goes toward the party. Students choose which lot and whom they park by, while committee members designate which spot they get.

Antrobius said that she has been looking forward to participating in the parking spot event since it was initiated during her sophomore year.

“It’s just kind of that feeling of knowing you’re finally a senior,” she said. “It’s fun to know you have your own space almost. It’s like a special thing, I feel. You’re about to leave, and you get your own space, and you

get to come here every day with your friends that you’re (parking) by.”

Many parents even jumped in to help their kids paint their spots. Burr’s dad, Jason, helped his son paint the parking spot where he will be parking his 2019 Jeep Wrangler.

“Is it really for the kids? I’ve seen more parents out here doing work than kids,” Jason Burr joked.

He said he thought that it was a great fundraiser and event.

“It’s a great fundraiser. It gives the kids an outlet for their creativity, and then they always know where they are going to park,” Jason Burr said. “They all come late anyway; at least now they’ll know where they’re supposed to be parking and not have to try, like, the Civic Center or wherever else.”

The location of their spots was important for best friends Tessa Taulbee and Brooklynn Schomaker, who were able to get “the luck of the draw” by not just getting their spots next to each other, but back to back. They said that they had hoped to have their parking spots like that, for parking ease, but it truly was luck of the draw, as they don’t pick exactly which spots they get.

“I wanted her spot to be in front of mine because she doesn’t come to school on time, so I could pull through into my spot,” said Taulbee with a laugh.

The parking spot designs had to be submitted in advance of the event to ensure that they were appropriate for the school. The designs reflect the students’ passions, hobbies, extracurricular activities, noteworthy characteristics and life mottos.

“My spot, it’s kind of silly, but I’m always late every day, so my spot says, ‘If you’re

Big things, small things, life-changing things, we’re here to make your health better.

reading this, I’m late,’ with a clock that says 8:10 a.m.,” Alyssa Zellman said.

High school classes in Novi begin at 8 a.m.

Her mother, Tiffany, was assisting her with the project. She said that her daughter is indeed late for everything, and she has no

The 2025 fair will feature the Dialed Action Big Air Stunt show, which consists of performances by BMX and freestyle motocross bikers. There will also be a sea lion show, the World of Wonders and Museum of Marvels, as well as sword swallowers and fire eaters.

Many of the traditional show attractions will be returning, including the butter cow, pumpkin carvers, livestock exhibits and competitions, numerous vendors, carnival rides, and more.

Parking spots

The fair will run Aug. 28 through Sept. 1. It will be open Thursday and Friday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday and Sunday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Monday 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.with the livestock exhibition halls A, B and C closing at 5 p.m.

Tickets cost $42 plus a $1 fee for the ultimate pass, which includes unlimited carnival rides and the BMX show, or $10 plus a $1 fee for only fair admission. They are available online at michiganstatefairllc.com or at the gate. The ticket booths will close at 7 p.m. daily.

idea where she gets that from, as she and her husband are very punctual and are at least 15 minutes early for everything. She said her son, who is going to be a freshman this year, will not be riding to school with his sister.

Antrobius decorated her spot with a stop sign that has her life motto on it, “Never stop having fun.” Burr’s spot reflects the sports he plays, baseball and basketball, and has his initials.

The committee kept the parking lots blocked off for the kids to decorate their spots through Aug. 17.

asked how that can be when none of the three committee members would have any connection to the city of Novi.

“Right now, Jim Nash is the agent of the Huron Rouge, so when he sets rates, it is his decision, and he just signs off; there’s not a public meeting where you can voice your concerns, where, under the Chapter 20 drain code, all the rates are done through a public meeting. There’s 30 or 60 days where there’s a public meeting and we take responses from

the public, where you don’t have that window today,” said Cox.

She said that currently, they do meet with the city about rates out of kindness, but with this measure, it will be required. Cox said that this move is something the WRC thinks will protect the communities they are rolling into it in the future.

Smith asked about the city’s liability under the measure. Cox said that the county is self-insured and, therefore, the city won’t be on the hook in the event of any mishaps.

The City Council voted 6-0 to approve the resolutions. Councilman Dave Staudt was absent from the meeting.

Your Brightest Season Yet Begins

Shopping

“That’s one of the biggest parts, mainly because we’re African American and a lot of African Americans see police as the threat and as the bad guy. So, it just puts police in a different light in the kids’ eyes instead of always seeing the body cam videos on the internet and all that,” Dreasky said. “It just gives them something nice to look forward to and something nice to do and look at the police as they’re not just bullies.”

Officer Brian Tillman said that it gives him and his comrades a chance to interact with the community.

“For my job, I’m, you know, pulling people over and responding to calls where it’s not the greatest day in their lives, so if I can have a chance to do this to, you know, help people out in a positive way, then I’m all for it,’ Tillman said. “I think it gives us a chance to show that we are humans and can interact with people in more than just a (stereotypical) police officer way. I think it does give us a better light.”

Bella Kilafi, 16, said it was nice to go

back-to-school shopping for clothes, as it is something she doesn’t do very often.

“It’s nice to go back-to-school shopping for clothes. I usually wear the same clothes,” Kilafi said. “I have a job, I buy my own stuff, every once in a while, but clothes are expensive. I don’t usually get to go on, like, a shopping spree. So, it’s nice to get a ton of new clothes to go into the school year with.”

Michael Lewis, 8, said the best part of the experience was “getting lots of underwear.” He said he got three packs of Pikachu underwear. Pikachu is a popular Pokemon character.

Twelve-year-old Maria Ujkaj said that it was a really good experience for her. She said that she felt that other kids would enjoy it as well.

“I feel like it can teach kids, like, how to handle finances and stuff, like counting money,” Ujkaj said. She said the best part of the experience was definitely shopping with the police officers and firefighters.

“They walk you through it, and they’re really nice,” Ujkaj said.
