After years of dreaming and two years of construction, the new Novi Meadows Elementary School in Novi, which houses fifth and sixth grade students, is now complete. To celebrate, the school held a ribbon-cutting followed by an open house for the public Sept. 16.

“This building has been a dream in the making for many, many years,” said Lisa Fenchel, sixth grade principal. “Novi Meadows was one of the first five-six buildings in the state, in the nation, and it’s really exciting to see how it’s grown.”

buildings that were once other things, and now they finally have a space that was designed specifically for fifth and sixth grade students.

The school was partially completed in the fall of 2023 with the then-fifth grade students getting to utilize the building full time, while the sixth graders used it for specials. This year, the second floor is completed, along with a stadium-size gymnasium that can seat 1,200 people, a new playground, and a cafeteria that is connected to the second floor by a grand staircase.

“If there is a nicer fifth and sixth grade building in

Man brings ‘special kind of magic’ to Novi’s Communications Department

Many people might have noticed short videos appearing on the city of Novi’s website offering insight about the various places, services and things available in the city of Novi.

The videos are created by video production assistant Jason Nunez, 26, of Novi, a young man with a unique skill set who brings forth a “special kind of magic” in his short videos on the happenings within the city.

Nunez has special needs and graduated from the Novi Adult Transition Center in June. During his time at NATC, Nunez had many different jobs in the Novi area, including working for the city of Novi as a building attendant, a position he has maintained for six years. While working at the city offices, Nunez would frequently stop by the community relations department and talk with staff about what they do.

In March of 2023, Sheryl Walsh-Molloy, director of communications for the city of Novi, and her staff asked Nunez if he would be interested in a job with the community relations department filming city meetings, which he accepted. Nunez is one of two people responsible for filming the seven

People from across southeastern Michigan gathered in front of the “Michigan Remembers” POW/MIA Memorial Sept. 20 at Oakland Hills Memorial Gardens in Novi to remember those soldiers who have yet to make it home.

“Today marks the 45th annual observance of National POW/MIA Recognition Day and the 38th anniversary of the ‘Michigan Remembers’ POW/MIA Memorial,” said Debbie Pineau Mc-

Clain, president of the POW Committee of Michigan. “We gather today to remember the heroism and sacrifices made by tens of thousands of Americans who endured captivity in enemy hands as well as those whose fate remains unknown.”

The ceremony opened with the presentation of colors by the Veterans of Foreign Wars Heart of the Lakes Post 1008 followed by a performance of “The Star-Spangled Banner” by the Novi High School Choir.

The ceremony included speeches by descendants of those missing in action. This included

Tony Soma, whose cousin, Major Martin J. Massucci, of the U.S. Air Force, has been missing in action since Oct. 1, 1965; Bruce Johnson, whose father, Lt. Col. Bruce G. Johnson, of the U.S. Army is missing in action since June 10, 1965; and Pineau McClain, whose uncle, Roland Robert Pineau, went missing in action on Oct. 8, 1967. She said his remains were returned and buried with military honors 40 years later.

Soma spoke of how he is often reminded of Massucci in his day-to-day life. He said every

NOVI VOLLEYBALL’S ‘THICK AS THIEVES’ MENTALITY

HAS WILDCATS PRIMED FOR STATE TOURNAMENT RUN

Long before the Drake University volleyball commit was a perennial threat on the court, she was the new girl on campus at Novi High School. Making the move from Iowa to Michigan her sophomore year, senior middle blocker Izzy Earley and her family planted roots in Novi, but little did Earley know that in the blink of an eye she’d form a new family that’s continued to grow over the course of her high school career.

“Moving in high school was absolutely brutal, but what really helped me the whole time, and I can’t say this enough, was having a volleyball team and having a group of people that had my back right away from day one,” Earley said. “We moved midsummer and the season started a week or two after we moved, and I got involved

right away. I had people to smile at in school. I love every single person on this team.”

Tallying 95 kills and 16 aces already this season, Earley is on an all-state track along with leading the Wildcats to a 12-7 record through a gauntlet of a schedule that’s included four Division 1 teams ranked in the top 10 according to the Michigan Interscholastic Volleyball Coaches Association.

It’s brutal in the moment when you’re facing the likes of Clarkston (No. 3 D1) and Northville (No. 2 D1) in back-to-back matches, but the bond that Novi volleyball has, like the one Earley connected with effortlessly as an incoming sophomore, isn’t like any other type of team chemistry.

It’s unbreakable, but more importantly it fits the mold for each player, from freshman to senior, to join in and find their place among the rest of the squad.

“They’re thick as thieves right now,” head coach Kacey Moran said. “From top to bottom, everyone gets along and supports each other. Everyone realizes that we have one thing in common and we’re only strong towards that goal if we stand together. Team chemistry is huge. I believe every single player from our No. 1 to our No. 15 have all bought into that.”

The senior group of Earley, Ceci Regoli (libero), Chloe Sparkman (outside hitter/rightside hitter), and Gracie Hoener (outside hitter) continues to shine and is complimented well by a junior class of Mallory Stoy (defensive specialist), Alex Leggett (hitter/blocker), Alli Villanueva (middle blocker/right-side hitter), and junior Morgan Hoppe (setter), who’s been efficient when she’s had her name called with 15 digs and 32 assists in 12 sets played.

“We’ve always been a great serving and serve-receive defensive team, and offensively we just make plays as we get into longer rallies,” Moran said. “I don’t think we scored as quickly last season, but I think with the added pieces on the defense this year, and the scoring capabilities we have this year have definitely elevated us versus where we were one year ago.”

Earley and Hoener have a strong hold of the kills lead with 95 each, while Regoli’s 26 aces and 183 digs are both team highs. Stoy penciled herself in for the serve receiving lead with 171 after posting 240 in 2023.

It’s a well-oiled machine with the upperclassmen, and Moran credits their continuity for the team’s successful start so far.

“We have a much stronger presence of maturity and leadership, and that stems from all of our seniors and those returning pieces that were starters last year as well,” Moran said.

You thought that was it for Novi? No. How about sophomore setter Nellie Alves leading the team in assists (284), which is still 191

away from her freshman campaign, and tying with Earley for the team lead in total blocks with 32. She also has 50 kills, 17 aces and 101 digs to her name.

New to the setting position last year after being a pure hitter, Alves said gaining confidence throughout her freshman season pushed her toward a strong offseason campaign.

“I really worked on getting up on the net and making sure to shut down holes and put my hands up over the net, and just consistency overall with putting the ball in the same spot every time and not having my hitters changing their tempo every time,” Alves said.

The Wildcats also have a trio of freshmen with Kaitlyn Koceski, Myla Bellavoine and Hansa Gondi.

Bellavoine and Gondi have been more rotational pieces, but both have made the most of their time on the court and are set up to be vital pieces of Novi volleyball’s future.

Koceski has been sensational with 18 aces, 107 digs and 151 serve receives in her first season on varsity.

“(Koceski) had a really good offseason playing on a high-level club volleyball team (Legacy Volleyball Club), so we were hoping that was going to play into effect with her confidence and what she was able to bring to the table this season,” Moran said. “Overall, I think it’s just the senior leadership and the returning players taking her under their wing and giving her that confidence, and us as coaches helping

to foster that as well. We feel that she’s handled that weight and that load very well.”

On top of filling up the stat sheet, the underclassmen bring some energy and youth to a veteran-heavy squad.

“They’re really the girls that make the team special, because they’re the future of Novi volleyball,” Earley said. “They listen and they’re always willing to learn. They remind me that volleyball is fun. They have a drive and a hustle that I think reminds us that we’re playing to win all the time.”

Holding a record of 3-1 in Kensington Lakes Activities Association-East play and with a healthy amount of its league schedule still left, Novi will look to head into the Division 1 state tournament with momentum on its side.

Novi faced a first round exit in 2023 and last made it past districts in 2021, and it’s been the topic of conversation for Moran and her squad heading into this season.

They have the talent, the depth and the leadership needed to make a run, and players like Regoli also have the memory of the heartbreak last year brought to the 2024 seniors.

“As seniors, you want to end on a good note,” Regoli said. “Last year, it was especially disappointing for our seniors. My heart ached for them because we didn’t end the season how we wanted to, and it was just disappointing. I think that’s why we’re so motivated for that not to happen this year and for us to go as far as we can.”

morning he puts on a bracelet with his cousin’s name on it. His computer screen saver bears his cousin’s picture, and Soma is working on the family genealogy.

“The reminders are endless. But what do you do about it? How do you handle it?” Soma said.

Soma recalled his last memory of Massucci, who was 15 years Soma’s senior and went missing when Soma was just 11. Soma said his cousin was on leave and they had a family gathering at his house. Soma described his cousin as being “larger than life” with a “big personality” and “great sense of humor.”

Soma said he joined the POW Committee of Michigan in 1997 and has been staying updated on his cousin’s case from the Defense Department.

“So now what? Well, we do what we’ve been doing for the last 59 years. We keep learning, we stay updated. We never forget and we never give up,” said Soma.

Johnson recalled how his mother, Bonnie Johnson, who had three children under 4 at the time of his father’s disappearance, became a leader and a board member of the National League of POW/MIA Families. He said his mother was even involved in the creation of the POW/MIA flag. He said she hung on to hope that his father was alive for a long time.

“You remember that day when all the prisoners (of Vietnam) were released and flown to the Philippines? Well I do. I can remember that as each one got off that plane, we sat around the television with the cameras on them. ‘Is that him?’ ‘Could that be him?’ And when no one was left and the planes were empty, we realized, in full sadness, he was not coming back,” Johnson said. “It was a complicated grief, that not knowing and yet that deep hoping.”

He said that his father went missing when he was just 5 years old and that 13 years later they received the “long-awaited” determination that his father was presumed killed in action.

“To this day I miss him and his presence in our lives,” Johnson said. “I still pray for the day that his remains along with the six other men lost on that fateful day may be returned from foreign soil.”

Johnson said it has been a “blessing” to come to the “Michigan Remembers” POW/ MIA Memorial over the years and vicariously participate in the movement of men lost and missing to those who have been found and identified on the memorial wall.

“It’s such a beautiful gift and such a beautiful hope for all of us. It is truly a sacred moment and one so deeply precious to each of us with a loved one still missing,” he

said. “On behalf of my family, I thank you for your remembrance, even to this day, for my father Lt. Col. Bruce Johnson and all the men still listed as unaccounted for. May their souls even now rest with God.”

Johnson then shared that although his father’s remains have yet to make it home, his father’s Bible, with notes in the margins, was returned to him.

“Even though my dad never came back, one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever had in my life was the return of his Bible,” Johnson said as he held up the Bible for all to see. “All these years as a young man growing up through the years, I’ve been able to read the things that he wrote in the margin of his Bible and see the places that he underlined. And even though he’s been gone, even to this day his remembrance and his life lives on in my life.”

The ceremony concluded with a presentation of wreaths and a roll call of all those listed as prisoners of war or missing in action from Michigan. After each name was read, a bell was rung. The VFW post then gave a 21-gun salute and Tod Reber, who served in the U.S. Navy Reserves during the war in Afghanistan, played taps.

SPRUCE BECOMES MICHIGAN’S 38TH STATE CHRISTMAS TREE

LANSING — The Michigan Department of Technology, Management & Budget has selected the official 2024 state Christmas tree. It is a 60foot spruce from Eagle in Clinton County in Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Eagle residents Rich and Dorcas Albertson donated the tree. The spruce will arrive in downtown Lansing on the Capitol lawn for the 2024 holiday season on Saturday, Nov. 2.

This is the second tree from Clinton County and the 14th from Michigan’s Lower Peninsula since an official tree began being placed at the Capitol each holiday season in 1987.

The tree will be harvested Nov. 1 and transported to the Capitol with help from the Michigan Association of Timbermen, the Great Lakes Timber Professionals Association, and DTMB’s Christmas tree crew. Once at the Capitol, local Boy Scout troops will continue the tradition of untying the tree.

city meetings each month including the City Council, Library Board, Planning Commission, Zoning Board of Appeals, and Parks and Recreation.

“He loves video, so he would be interested in what Josh (Buscher) … and now Trevor (Walega) do and approached us and we asked him if he would consider working and doing some of the meetings,” said Walsh-Molloy.

“We quickly found out that he is very technically proficient,” said Buscher, senior video production specialist.

However, staff is on hand to assist him with troubleshooting any problems that might occur, such as microphone issues.

Shortly after Nunez graduated, Walsh-

Molloy said they asked Nunez if he would like to do contract project work. Walsh-Molloy said it is working out pretty well, and Nunez agreed.

“It’s a great way for us, our video team, to tell the story through a fresh set of eyes,” said Walsh-Molloy.

So far, Nunez has done a video on the city’s butterfly garden, recycling and the new firetruck. For each video, Nunez is provided background information, and he writes a script with the assistance of an artificial intelligence app. He lays out what his shots will be and after approval will go out on location, film his story and edit it. The process to create an approximately two-minute video takes about two days to complete from start to finish.

“His approach is very wholesome,” said Buscher. “So it’s what kind of projects kind of fit into his vibe. What’s kind of a cute story that maybe we don’t have time for because we’re focused more on construction and police stories?”

According to Walsh-Molloy, they have a “laundry list” full of ideas of places and things for Nunez to create videos about. Future projects include a Japanese event at the high school, Light the Lights and educational projects.

She said Nunez has a passion for videography, has a great eye for it and is an excellent storyteller.

Nunez said he started having an interest in video editing when he was 9-10 years old and recalled truly developing a passion for the field when he took a WNMS broadcast class at Novi Middle School.

“I started editing ‘This week in history’ videos when I was in eighth grade,” he said.

Walsh-Molloy said that the city of Novi employs many NATC graduates, but Nunez is only one of two students to have ever been hired by the city for its multimedia department.

“Jason is our shining star,” said Buscher.

“To be able to provide Jason with a career

that he is passionate about, it just makes my heart so happy,” said Walsh-Molloy. “And the community loves his videos.”

“To me Jason is, like, pure,” said Josh. “There’s no negativity. There’s no nonsense. It’s just like he comes in and he tackles it in his own view.”

“It’s been a blessing for me to work with Trevor and Josh,” said Nunez.

He said he hopes to one day have his own desk in the Communications Department at the Novi Civic Center with his nameplate on it. He said he knows there is an empty desk.

“I’ve been dreaming of having my own video/editing station at Studio Six,” Nunez said.

Walsh-Molloy said it is hard to find parttime help, especially someone who just wants to do nighttime meetings. Finding someone with Nunez’s abilities to do the job is a “godsend.”

“He is a blessing to us,” said Walsh-Molloy.

this country, I’d love to see it, because I don’t think it exists,” said John Brickey, fifth grade principal.

“This building was thought through and designed with the idea of, ‘What got us here will not get us there.’ We are trying to educate kids for jobs that do not exist yet, for a world that they don’t understand what it is going to be. They need to be able to think together, to work together to solve new problems together. You’re about to walk into a building that offers these opportunities.”

Amid a group of sixth graders, board members and Superintendent Ben Mainka, Brickey and Fenchel then took hold of a giant pair of scissors and cut a green ribbon to symbolize the opening of the completed structure.

Following the ribbon-cutting, the students were stationed in the various classrooms that were open to tour, and they offered their insight on the school.

“The fifth graders here are so lucky to have the new lunches in the new building, because before we’d have to walk outside to some of our classes,” said Rory Chase, 11, a sixth grade student.

“It didn’t matter if it was raining or

snowing or acid rain. It wouldn’t matter, we’d just have to go out there,” added Zander Sudds, 11, a sixth grade student.

“I love the new band room. We used to have to walk a half-block up to 2 miles each day to get to this area or that area,” said Ian Leggett, 11.

“It’s really nice now that we don’t have to walk outside when it’s raining,” said Cason Kliebert, 12.

Chase and Sudds also raved about the food in the new cafeteria, saying, “It’s actually fresh and just way better than last year.”

Along with the cafeteria, the kids said the playground was their favorite hot spot.

Many parents and community members were raving about the school.

“I think it’s great,” said Tom Ryan, of Northville, whose 11-year-old son, James Alsheimer, was giving robotics demonstrations.

“I mean every classroom has got modern technology. It’s fabulous,” Ryan said.

“It’s awesome. It’s beautiful. This building is nicer than my college was,” said Megan Alsheimer, James’ mom.

“I think it’s pretty amazing. It looks just like a college campus,” said Lisa Halton, an eighth grade parent.

Frank Svechota, of Novi, came to see the new school for himself, although his children are well past the age to attend the

school. He said his neighbor’s kid attends Novi Meadows and all he can talk about is how great the food is in the cafeteria. Svechota said the building was way better than the private Catholic school he attended back in the day, where the fanciest part of the school was the lockers.

“I think it’s absolutely incredible,” Svechota said of Novi Meadows. “See, when I went to college at U of M back in the day, all the kids that were from Bloomfield Hills and everything, they were thoroughly disappointed on how U of M’s classrooms comSee MEADOWS on page 9A

pared to their own school, and that’s how this is going to be now, because it’s so beautiful and it’s got everything.”

Svechota said he had no idea from the street view that the school was so big.

“It’s nice to see people from the community who don’t have children in the district, who are a little older and maybe they have grandchildren but don’t get to come to the schools very often, walk through and just see their reactions and comments to all the space, which has been really, really cool,” Mainka said.

Mainka said he loved hearing from people whose children went to Novi Meadows years ago and then were just trying to figure out which parts of the building were from the old spaces.

Emily Reitz was once a student at Novi Meadows and is now the new dean of students at the school. She said it feels like she has come full circle.

Correction:

“It’s quite incredible with new spaces like robotics labs and learning pods and all the spaces that the kids get to use collaboratively. So, that’s been pretty awesome,” said Reitz.

She said the large cafeteria allows 250 students to have lunch at one time. So there are now two lunch/recess periods for each grade, where one group eats and the other plays.

Mainka said that reducing the number of lunch periods allows the teachers to be able to maximize instructional time. He said it is also a lot easier to supervise.

There are currently around 1,050 students at Novi Meadows.

“It’s a lot of kids, but it doesn’t feel that way. So that’s the best part about the new building, is that even though it’s a lot of kids, the space is really well designed to be able to move them without it ever feeling crowded,” Reitz said.

“This is just first class all the way for Novi,” said Svechota. “It’s really something special.”

Scott said the award, is one of the League’s highest honors and was originally supposed to have been presented to Eddy at the League’s annual meeting this summer, but as Eddy was unable to attend, they chose to surprise her with it during the POW/MIA Recognition Day event.

“I’m so surprised, but I am so humbled to be able to receive this award from the National League of POW/MIA Families,” said Eddy.

She said she made a commitment that started when she was 14, after a family friend was taken as a prisoner of war in October 1963 during the Vietnam War. She said the friend was later released in November 1967. Since then, she has had a great deal of “touchstones” in her life relating to the POW/MIA cause. She said that while working in retail, one of the store managers had a son who had been shot down in April 1967 and who was not among those who came home during Operation Homecoming. His remains were repatriated in 1985.

Eddy said she learned of the POW Committee of Michigan through a newspaper ad in 1982 and has been involved with the organization ever since.

“To me, there is no higher calling and I will do my utmost to support the mission, to support the families, to work for the fullest possible accounting for as long as I am able, for the National League of Families, for the POW Committee of Michigan, for everyone who is still unaccounted for and for the veterans who still await the return of their comrades.”

Eddy said that it was such an honor that she was “almost” speechless, which she said doesn’t happen often.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and Twelve Mile Crossing at Fountain Walk is hosting a Pink Out event in front of Emagine Theater on Saturday, Oct. 5, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., to raise funds for Ascension Providence Hospital’s Believe in Miracles Fund. Admission is free, and all ages are invited to participate in a day filled with activities, entertainment and opportunities to contribute to a worthy cause.

“Bringing the community together allows us to support cancer patients currently in treatment and ensures a fun and meaningful day for all,” said Mary Ledermann, the shopping center’s community engagement manager. “Our owner, Michael Zimmermann, is committed to giving back to the community. We wanted to find a cause where we could make a significant impact.”

The Novi Police Department will be bringing its pink police car to the event. For a $5 donation, attendees can sign the car with stories of survival, messages of hope and encouragement, or in memory of loved ones afected by breast cancer.

Those who donate $20 to sign the car will receive a $20 Hub gift card. All participants will be entered into a drawing for prizes such as a hotel stay, gift cards and an opportunity to win the rafle grand prize: a pink Kid Motorz 12v Police Motorcycle Powered Ride-On (value $300) donated by Escape Room Novi.

The event will also feature lively music from a DJ, free chair massages, face painting, yard games, inflatable ax throwing, puppy play-time, vendors selling unique items, photo opportunities and more.

Representatives from Ascension Providence Hospital will be on-site to provide educational materials and discuss the importance of breast cancer awareness, which is crucial because the disease affects a wider age group than many realize.

“Special thanks go to Christa Williams, major gift oficer at Ascension Providence Foundation, and Kim Kleimola from Novi P.D. for their assistance and support,” Ledermann added. “Additionally, many of our tenants will be donating a portion of their sales during the week of the event to the fund.”

VIETNAM WAR UNACCOUNTED FOR PERSONNEL FROM MICHIGAN

Monroe “looked at all kinds of vehicles.” While the ’77 model was never a police car, Monroe felt the spacious and comfortable sedan was the best representation for the officers who lost their lives.

The honored patrolmen are: Albert O. DeSmet, Robert Alfred Young, William Oliver and Lawrence Cooney. All four men are remembered on the Officer Down Memorial Page website at odmp.org. The website tells brief stories of the law enforcement officers and the circumstances in which they died.

DeSmet was killed when his patrol car was struck during a high-speed pursuit Nov. 5, 1987. DeSmet, 44, was survived by his wife, son and two daughters.

According to the website, Clinton Township police were pursuing a vehicle traveling into Roseville after the driver had rammed and hit two vehicles. DeSmet and his partner, James Edwards, activated their emergency lights and pulled onto the southbound lanes of Gratiot Avenue when the vehicle struck them from behind.

DeSmet’s patrol car slid into the median and he was killed while Edwards was reportedly injured. The driver continued on until he crashed at an intersection. As time went on, the driver of the vehicle was found not guilty by reason of insanity. He was committed to a state hospital for four years and released.

Young’s “End of Watch” occurred Feb. 18, 1978, when he suffered a fatal heart attack shortly after pursuing a sus-

pect on foot. The 51-year-old officer was assisting an ambulance crew that was having trouble restraining a man. The suspect then broke free and ran from the scene.

Young chased after him, tackled and handcuffed him and returned him to the ambulance. After a few minutes, the patrolman collapsed. The married father of three was transported to a local hospital where he died.

The Officer Down Memorial Page states that Oliver and Cooney — on duty together June 15, 1937 — died by gunfire after they apprehended a youth who was under arrest for burglarizing a local gas station.

The suspect and a second juvenile were handcuffed and being placed into a patrol car when one of them grabbed Oliver’s handgun and shot him. When Cooney heard the gunshots, he rushed to the scene and was shot at by the suspects.

“He began to chase the suspects and as he rounded the corner he was shot several times,” the website states. “Although wounded, he continued to fire at the suspects.”

Cooney drove himself to the police station and collapsed. A milkman passing by took him to a local hospital, but he did not survive his injuries, leaving behind his wife and two sons. Oliver succumbed to his wounds about one month later on July 12. He was survived by his wife and four children.

The 19-year-old suspect in the shootout was arrested and sentenced to life in prison. According to the Officer Down Memorial Page website, he was paroled Jan. 25, 1963.

“I wanted to acknowledge those officers and draw attention to the police and city,” Monroe said. “I think it’s so important to remember their sacrifices.”

Many local organizations have offered their time to help

restore the Chevy without any cost to the city of Roseville or the Police Department, as no city funds were used for the project.

“The Roseville Auto Shop was generous to give it a good tune-up and make it road ready,” Monroe said. “Lafata Auto Body helped with some of the body work.”

Other contributors listed on a display plaque include Automotive Color Supply Inc., in Roseville; Van’s Towing & Transport in Roseville; US Farathane, of Sterling Heights; ABS Storage Products in Detroit; Majik Graphics in Clinton Township; and Roseville officers Brian Dobrzycki, David Lukasavage, Matthew Lesperance and his dad, Dennis Lesperance. The police officers volunteered on their own time.

The Caprice Classic is stored in a city building and taken out on occasion for events, including parades.

“It’s a pet project of mine,” Monroe said. “It’s more for the police and the city of Roseville.”
