NIAGARA-ON-THE-LAKE, Ontario (AP) — Top diplomats from the Group of Seven industrialized democracies are meeting Ukraine’s foreign minister on Wednesday as Ukraine tries to fend off relentless Russian aerial attacks that have brought rolling blackouts across the country ahead of winter.

U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio will participate in a G7 session on Ukraine and defense cooperation.

Canadian Foreign Minister Anita Anand is hosting the meeting in southern Ontario as tensions rise between the U.S. and traditional allies like Canada over defense spending, trade and uncertainty over President Donald Trump’s ceasefire plan in Gaza and efforts to end the Russia-Ukraine war.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he wants to order 25 Patriot air defense systems from the United States. Combined missile and drone strikes on the power grid have coincided with Ukraine’s frantic efforts to hold back a Russian battlefield push aimed at capturing the eastern stronghold of Pokrovsk.

Canada announced additional sanctions on 13 people and 11 entities, including several involved in the development and deployment of Russia’s drone program.

Britain says it will send $17 million to help patch up Ukraine’s energy infrastructure as winter approaches and Russian attacks intensify. The money will go toward repairs to power, heating and water supplies and humanitarian support for Ukrainians.

U.K. Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper, who made the announcement before the meeting, said Russian President Vladimir Putin “is trying to plunge Ukraine into darkness and the cold as winter approaches” but the British support will help keep the lights and heating on.

Canada recently made a similar announcement.

The two-day meeting in Niagara-on-the-Lake, near the U.S. border, comes after Trump ended trade talks with Canada because the Ontario provincial government ran an anti-tariff advertisement in the U.S. that upset him. That followed a spring of acrimony, since abated, over the Republican president’s insistence that Canada should become the 51st U.S. state.

Anand will have a meeting with Rubio, but she noted that a different minister leads the U.S. trade file. The U.S. president has placed greater priority on addressing his grievances with other nations’ trade policies than on collaboration with G7 allies.

The G7 comprises Canada, the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Italy and Japan. Anand also invited the foreign ministers of Australia, Brazil, India, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, South Korea, South Africa and Ukraine to the meeting, which began Tuesday.

Putin has tried to justify Russia’s attack on Ukraine by saying it was needed to protect civilians in eastern Ukraine — a false claim the U.S. had predicted he would make as a pretext for his invasion.

DETROIT — Daniss Jenkins’ cool-down Monday night was different from anything he had experienced with the Detroit Pistons. With an ice pack wrapped around his right knee inside Little Caesars Arena, Jenkins sat at his locker after a career-best performance.

He had recorded 24 points, eight rebounds, four steals and three assists to lift the Pistons to a 137-135 overtime victory over the Washington Wizards. The pinnacle of his night came during the final seconds of regulation when Jenkins nailed the game-tying 3-point field goal after coach J.B. Bickerstaff’s original plan faltered.

“You dream of stuff like this,” Jenkins said. “To come out and hit that type of shot, I was just filled with a lot of joy and excitement. … Humbly and respectfully, I’ve always known what I was capable of, and I always believed in my preparation for this moment.”

But sitting on the right side of Jenkins’ locker was a red, white and blue WWE championship-style belt he received from Caris LeVert during the team’s postgame celebration. The WWE belt — also known as the “Belt to Ass” — is awarded to the player who provides the Pistons with the most significant lift, putting the team in the best position to win the game.

It’s more than simply giving the award to the player who scores the most points, given that the belt was several lockers down from Cade Cunningham, who notched a career-high 46 points in the win.

While Jenkins’ heroics were the reason he held possession of the belt, the honor marked the second time in three games that the Pistons’ depth was recognized. That depth has played a central role in Detroit’s 9-2 start, going into Wednesday’s game.

“The depth we keep talking about is important. We believe that the guys that we have here from top to bottom can help contribute to winning, and we’re lucky,” Bickerstaff said. “Give Trajan (Langdon) and the front-office group a ton of credit for the way that they constructed the team.”

The Pistons have faced several injuries in the first 11 games. Jaden Ivey and Marcus Sasser have not played at all, while minor injuries have caused LeVert, Tobias Harris, Isaiah Stewart, and Ausar Thompson to miss time.

Each absence has created a void for Bickerstaff to fill. However, the injuries have also given the Pistons an opportunity to delve deeper into their roster, helping the franchise maintain its early-season success, including a seven-game winning streak.

Jenkins’ performance against the Wizards came three days after Bobi Klintman helped the Pistons secure a 125-107 victory over the Brooklyn Nets on Friday.

“When you hear your name called, you have to be ready,” Klintman told The Detroit News. “I’m in the gym every day. Going out there, I always have a belief in myself, and the coaches believe in me too, which has been big time.”

It marked the first time in Klintman’s career that he received meaningful minutes in a regular-season game, an achievement that came as a surprise. He played 14 minutes and scored eight points, but his most significant impact came due to the hustle and effort he displayed inside Barclays Center.

Klintman nabbed five rebounds and secured a handful of 50-50 balls that created scoring opportunities for the Pistons. His efforts helped Detroit overcome an early 10-point deficit. By the end of the night, Klintman walked on the team bus with the championship belt lying across his shoulder.

“I wasn’t expecting to get the belt. We had two monster performances by J.D. (Jalen Duren) and Cade; one of them should have gotten it. But I am happy they gave it to me,” Klintman said. “It just shows that the team is with me in my journey. They have watched me put in the work, and to get that opportunity was big time.”

At the start of the season, there was uncertainty surrounding the roles of Jenkins and Klintman. Both players came into their second seasons sitting at the end of the Pistons’ bench and were prime candidates to spend much of the year developing with the Motor City Cruise.

But through workouts and five-on-five scrimmages at the Henry Ford Health Pistons Performance Center during training camp, Jenkins and Klintman made Bickerstaff reconsider how to distribute minutes among his players.

Nearly a month into the 2025-26 season, Jenkins and Klintman have become unsung heroes. While their contributions have led to early success for the Pistons, it’s evident that the franchise is well on its way to establishing itself as a true contender in the Eastern Conference.

“I always try to make my presence felt, whatever that looks like,” Jenkins said. “Wherever I am, you are going to know that Daniss Jenkins was there.”

The Mega Millions jackpot will reach its highest level since the multistate lottery increased ticket prices to $5 in April. The jackpot for Fridays drawing is an estimated $965 million, lottery officials said.

The jackpot has grown steadily since a player in Virginia won $348 million on June 27. No ticket has matched all six winning numbers 10, 13, 40, 42, 46 and Mega Ball 1 since then. This year there have been four winning Mega Millions jackpots.

The last time the jackpot was larger was when a California woman won $1.269 billion. Fridays $965 million prize ranks as the eighth-largest in the games history.

The winner may choose to receive $965 million in 29 annual payments through an annuity or take a one-time cash payout of $445.3 million. Most winners opt for the lump sum.

The odds of matching all six numbers are about 1 in 290 million. Matching only the five white balls without the Mega Ball wins at least $1 million. The odds of winning that prize are 1 in 12.6 million.

Mega Millions is played in 45 states, plus the District of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The only states that do not participate are Alabama, Alaska, Hawaii, Nevada and Utah.

DETROIT – There aren’t many chances in an NHL regular season to have a full-scale, physical practice like the Red Wings had Tuesday.

This season’s schedule, in particular, is so condensed because of the Olympics, that it’s rare a team is off three days like the Wings currently are.

But after two consecutive losses – and three in four games – and needing to shake up the look of the team a bit, coach Todd McLellan made it feel almost like training camp Tuesday with a competitive practice.

“We don’t get a lot of time during the season to practice the way we did today,” McLellan said. “We just can’t because you have so many games in a short time frame. They expended a lot of energy (Tuesday). It was physical, a lot of battling, and so it gave us a chance to have a practice like that.

“But also to remind them that’s an important part of the game.”

After reviewing the losses to the New York Rangers and Chicago (by a 9-2 combined score), McLellan felt the Wings had offensive opportunities score on several odd-man rushes.

“That part of the game is OK,” McLellan said. “It’s what happens when we settled into the offensive zone and feeder shots getting to the net, and are we near the net or through the goalie’s eyes or are we around rebounds? Conversely, on the other end, are we doing a good job (in those areas)?

“That type of practice was designed because of time and a need for the group.”

Getting to the net and disrupting the opposing goaltender are things the Wings need to do during this recent offensive power outage.

“Being stronger in front of the goalie’s eyes,” forward Alex DeBrincat said. “We’re getting a lot of shots but a lot of them are from the point and no one is in front and going through the goalie’s eyes. It’s pretty hard in this league if you don’t do that. That was an emphasis today (in practice), and playing in front of the net at both ends of the ice.”

McLellan also changed the look of the lineup, keeping the lines the Wings’ finished with in Sunday’s game.

That meant DeBrincat with Dylan Larkin and Lucas Raymond, and Emmitt Finnie with J.T. Compher and Patrick Kane.

“Sometimes lines get a little stale, and it’s no reflection on Cat or Emmitt or anybody else,” McLellan said. “We’re just trying to do different things. Both lines played better after the change in the third period (Sunday). Are we going to do that against Anaheim (Thursday)? We’ll see.”

DeBrincat was excited about potentially skating with Larkin and Raymond.

“Two great players, and obviously fun to play with them,” DeBrincat said. “They have a lot of speed. They can make a lot of plays and hopefully we can have the puck a lot during the game. Those two guys are good defensively and we can create chances off their turnovers and go down and play with the puck, where we’re more comfortable.”

Both DeBrincat and Kane, who are known for their on-ice chemistry, said occasional line changes like these don’t change the way they play with new linemates.

“I try to stick to the same stuff with them,” DeBrincat said. “We can all rotate on who is getting on pucks and all of us just try to hunt pucks quick and create turnovers in the offensive zone. That’s kind of how we feed off each other, with us three, and create offense that way.

“If we can play a simple game and play in their end and get pucks back, we’ll be fine.”

Said Kane: “Maybe without Cat on that side you look for your shot a little more, or maybe try to get to the net a little more. But it’s still being who you are as a player, and it’s the same thing with Finnie or J.T.; it’s the player that you are.”

McLellan said Sunday the recall of Nate Danielson was a chance to potentially ignite the Wings’ offense and take a look at different combinations. It wasn’t, as social media suggested, to necessarily ignite trade discussions.

“My son called me (Sunday) and said, ‘Oh, you guys are trading some players,’” McLellan said. “No, we’re not. That doesn’t mean we won’t or ever will, but that’s not the reason. Danny (Danielson) is here because he’s played well in training camp and we have players who are struggling, and we feel he can inject some life and enthusiasm into the team and maybe provide us with some offense.

“He’s earned the right to do that after training camp. We can put him in and see how he looks with other players and maybe we can find combinations and evaluate. But it’s not about (general manager) Steve (Yzerman) buying airline tickets and sending people all over the place.”

CHICAGO – As the Trump administration intensifies a nationwide mass deportation campaign, immigrant parents are scrambling to secure emergency caretakers for their children – flooding legal clinics and naming friends, acquaintances or teachers as temporary guardians.

A Chicago volunteer worker agreed to become a guardian for nine children, using an obscure state law that dates to the AIDS epidemic.

A teacher in Maine recently agreed to be an emergency guardian for one of her students if his parents, both of whom are undocumented, are deported.

And a business owner in Oregon ended up with temporary custody of her friend’s children for four months when the parents were both detained.

Fear of being separated from her son recently led Rosa, an Ecuadorian asylum seeker and single mom in Chicago, to search online for help with a question she never thought she’d face: What happens to my child if I get deported?

The search led her to information about short-term guardianship, or tutela temporal in Spanish, which allows parents to designate a trusted adult to temporarily care for their children under certain conditions without giving up parental rights. In Illinois, the four-page legal document is free and requires no lawyer or notary.

It gives people the authority to make decisions about education and medical needs if parents are unable to care for their children.

“I don’t know if I will come home from work any day; this is my plan,” Rosa said of the short-term guardianship agreement. (Like several others interviewed for this article, she spoke to The Washington Post on the condition of anonymity because of fear of retaliation from the federal government.)

Across the country, the effects of the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign have had a chilling effect on immigrant communities – both the estimated 11 million undocumented immigrants and those here legally.

Perhaps nowhere has it been more pronounced than in Chicago, where law firms advertise services on Spanish language radio for parents in need of a plan for their kids if they get detained.

Sometimes parents are seeking help from U.S. citizens they’ve only recently met. Aleah Arundale, who helps a network of immigrants with necessities like food and rent money in Chicago, has made short-term guardianship arrangements for nine children from four families. “The greatest fear for them is: ‘What happens if I get taken?’” Arundale said. “They think I’m the best chance to get their kids back.”

There’s no data to quantify short-term guardianship arrangements since the requirements vary by state. But lawyers report they are being inundated. Clinics are popping up across the country, and one specialist said they usually see two or three cases per year but now receive hundreds of requests each week for information.

The Department of Homeland Security did not respond to questions about the surge of interest in guardianship agreements. The Trump administration has deported more than 400,000 people this year, DHS has said. It has also doubled the number of people detained in U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities. As of late September, ICE is holding nearly 60,000 people in custody. It’s unclear how many of those are parents.

The White House has said it is targeting criminals, but some of those who have been detained are asylum seekers, longtime residents, people with pending immigration cases or even U.S. citizens. A Syracuse University research group has found that more than 70 percent of those detained by ICE do not have criminal records.

At a time of heightened anxiety, some immigrants said guardianship planning has become one of the few things they can control. “It helps me breathe,” said one mother, an asylum seeker from Venezuela, who completed the Illinois form with Arundale. “And it took 10 minutes.”

Hundreds every week

Rosa arrived in Chicago four years ago. She cleans an office with a work permit, but a highly publicized federal immigration raid in her neighborhood sent her into a panic.

After Rosa learned about temporary guardianship, her church connected her with Rebekah Rashidfarokhi, an attorney and director of guardianship and immigration programs for children at Chicago Volunteer Legal Services, which offers pro bono representation.

The two met virtually this month to discuss the process.

Unlike adoption or more complicated guardianship procedures that require court approval, short-term guardianship in Illinois needs just the signatures of two consenting parties and two witnesses. Parents can revoke the arrangement at any time. It can last up to a year.

The form is helpful for enrolling a child in school or going to the doctor, Rashidfarokhi said, because it is recognized by state law. It has no federal authority, so it cannot be used to get a passport. (Several parents said that if they are deported they hoped it could also help make international travel and reuniting with their children easier.)

The guardianship does not kick in immediately but takes effect with a specified event. Rashidfarokhi instructed Rosa to be specific about the conditions: “In case I am detained by immigration.”

Rosa said she left Ecuador after her husband was abusing her and threatening her children. She has lived in fear in recent weeks, she said, but also knowing she must make logistical plans. She has been preparing documents, including proof of custody of her son after her divorce. She spoke to a woman, a dual American and Ecuadorian citizen, she met taking English classes at a community college to be her designated guardian. The woman agreed.

She has avoided talking too much about any of it with her 13-year-old son.

“He is confused about what is happening,” Rosa said. “But I am his mother, and I have to do it.”

Rashidfarokhi has been a family law attorney for two decades. Most years, she handles two or three short-term guardianship cases. Now, hundreds of people are requesting information every week, with families and community groups flooding her with requests for clinics and presentations. At one clinic earlier this year, 100 families showed up. (Rashidfarokhi said it’s difficult to quantify how many people fill out the form because many of the consultations she does now are virtual since so many people are afraid to leave their homes.)

Mayra Lira, an attorney with Public Counsel in Los Angeles, said she has seen similar demand for guardianship clinics in her city, where the Trump administration has also carried out immigration raids.

Lira described seeing parents make short-term guardianship plans as “dystopian,” adding that allegations of unlawful arrests and racial profiling have also brought green-card holders and U.S. citizens to the clinics.

“Everyone is afraid of being targeted,” she said.

‘We want people to know what to do’

The legal framework for Illinois’ short-term guardianship didn’t exist until the late 1980s. It was conceived of primarily to assist HIV-positive parents, many of them low-income, who were worried the state would assume custody of their kids if they died. It took several years of lobbying before Illinois amended its probate law.

“It was revolutionary at the time,” said Linda Coon, a lawyer who spearheaded the effort. “I knew it would help our clients but could never imagine it would be used by thousands of people today.”

Its uses have expanded over the years. During the early days of the pandemic, an executive order in New York state allowed medical workers to designate a temporary guardian. Several states – including Maryland and New York, as well as the District of Columbia – amended statutes during the first Trump administration to recognize immigration detention or deportation as an event that could give designated caregivers temporary parental rights. California passed a law last month that created a new short-term guardianship process for parents who could be detained or deported.

Today, guardianship conversations are happening in all types of settings, some not even planned by parents.

A teacher in Maine said she agreed to be a temporary guardian for one of her students after the parents broke down crying in a meeting over what might happen to their child if they were deported.

“I will do that every single time,” the teacher said. “I shouldn’t have to. I should just be able to teach my kids.”

Mimi Lettunich, an Oregon resident, took care of a friend’s four children after the family was detained by federal agents. (She has a pending U.S. visa and her children are U.S. citizens.) When Lettunich picked up the children, she was handed a coloring book with a note from their mother that said: “I will miss my babies. … I talked to them that they need to obey you.” The note also included a reminder for one of her kids’ upcoming orthodontist appointments.

Temporary guardianship allowed Lettunich to take the kids to doctor’s appointments and enroll them in a new school.

Lettunich’s friend was eventually released, and the two are now working on a handbook to help families facing the same circumstances. One of its strongest recommendations: arrange for short-term guardianship.

“We want people to know what to do,” Lettunich said. “Because you never think it’ll happen – until it does.”

A federal appeals court will hear arguments Wednesday about whether a spending law passed in July that ended Medicaid reimbursements for Planned Parenthood can remain in effect while legal challenges continue.

President Donald Trump’s tax and spending cut bill targets organizations that both provide abortions and receive more than $800,000 a year in Medicaid reimbursements. Planned Parenthood has argued the law violates the Constitution, while anti-abortion activists applauded the legislation.

The 1st Circuit Court of Appeals in Boston ruled that the law could go into effect in September while a lower court considered Planned Parenthood’s claims. A three-judge panel of the appeals court was scheduled to preside over the hearing Wednesday.

In a report released ahead of the hearing, Planned Parenthood said the legislation cost $45 million in September alone as clinics across the country paid for treatment for Medicaid patients out of pocket — a rate that the organization says is unsustainable.

Nearly half of Planned Parenthood’s patients rely on Medicaid for health care aside from abortions, which was already not covered by the federal insurance program that serves millions of low-income and disabled Americans.

Legal fight

Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its member organizations in Massachusetts and Utah, as well as a major medical provider in Maine, filed lawsuits against Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. in July. The Maine provider has been forced to stop it’s primary care services while its lawsuit works its way through the courts.

In the meantime, seven states — California, Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York and Washington — have directed state funds to compensate for lost federal Medicaid reimbursements.

That has covered roughly $200 million of the $700 million that the organization spends annually on Medicaid patients, according to Planned Parenthood.

In light of the shortfall, some clinics will force Medicaid patients to pay out of pocket while others will close altogether, adding to the 20 Planned Parenthood affiliated clinics that have closed since July and the 50 total that have closed since the start of Trump’s second term.

“The consequence is for patients who are going to be forced to make impossible choices between essential services,” Planned Parenthood President and CEO Alexis McGill Johnson said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Abortion at the heart of the debate

Carol Tobias, president of the National Right to Life Committee, said Trump’s legislation is a step in the right direction. Even though federal tax dollars aren’t used for abortions directly, she said taxpayers are contributing to abortion services even if they are morally or religiously opposed since Medicaid reimbursements help organizations that provide them stay afloat.

“To be forced to pay for that is just very objectionable,” Tobias said.

She suggested Planned Parenthood could stop offering abortions if it wanted to keep providing medical care to vulnerable populations.

Planned Parenthood’s president has doubled down on the organization’s commitment to providing abortions.

“The government should not play a role in determining any pregnancy outcomes,” Johnson said.

A range of services hit

Planned Parenthood is the country’s largest abortion provider, but abortions only constituted 4% of all medical services in 2024, according to the organization’s annual report. Testing for sexually transmitted infections and contraception services make up about 80%. The remaining 15% of services are cancer screenings, primary care services and behavioral health services.

Jenna Tosh, CEO of Planned Parenthood California Central Coast, said in an interview that the Medicaid cuts threaten abortion and non-abortion medical care in equal measure. Roughly 70% of patients who use Planned Parenthood California Central Coast rely on Medicaid, she said.

“Many of our patients, we are their primary provider of health care,” Tosh said. “You really start pulling at the thread of the entire health care safety net for the most vulnerable people.”

The story has been corrected to show that the hearing Wednesday is before a judicial panel of the 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, not before a federal judge.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The longest government shutdown in history could conclude as soon as Wednesday, Day 43, with almost no one happy with the final result.

Democrats didn’t get the heath insurance provisions they demanded added to the spending deal. And Republicans, who control the levers of power in Washington, didn’t escape blame, according to polls and some state and local elections that went poorly for them.

The fallout of the shutdown landed on millions of Americans, including federal workers who went without paychecks and airline passengers who had their trips delayed or canceled. An interruption in nutrition assistance programs contributed to long lines at food banks and added emotional distress going into the holiday season.

The agreement includes bipartisan bills worked out by the Senate Appropriations Committee to fund parts of government — food aid, veterans programs and the legislative branch, among other things. All other funding would be extended until the end of January, giving lawmakers more than two months to finish additional spending bills.

Here’s a look at how the shutdown started and is likely to end:

What led to the shutdown

Democrats made several demands to win their support for a short-term funding bill, but the central one was an extension of an enhanced tax credit that lowers the cost of health coverage obtained through Affordable Care Act marketplaces.

The tax credit was boosted during the COVID-19 pandemic response, again through President Joe Biden’s big energy and health care bill, and it’s set to expire at the end of December. Without it, premiums on average will more than double for millions of Americans. More than 2 million people would lose health insurance coverage altogether next year, the Congressional Budget Office projected.

“Never have American families faced a situation where their health care costs are set to double — double in the blink of an eye,” said Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

While Democrats called for negotiations on the matter, Republicans said a funding bill would need to be passed first.

“Republicans are ready to sit down with Democrats just as soon as they stop holding the government hostage to their partisan demands,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said.

Thune eventually promised Democrats a December vote on the tax credit extension to help resolve the standoff, but many Democrats demanded a guaranteed fix, not just a vote that is likely to fail.

Thune’s position was much the same as the one Schumer took back in October 2013, when Republicans unsuccessfully sought to roll back parts of the Affordable Care Act in exchange for funding the government. “Open up all of the government, and then we can have a fruitful discussion,” Schumer said then.

Democratic leaders under pressure

The first year of President Donald Trump’s second term has seen more than 200,000 federal workers leave their job through firings, forced relocations or the Republican administration’s deferred resignation program, according to the Partnership for Public Service. Whole agencies that don’t align with the administration’s priorities have been dismantled. And billions of dollars previously approved by Congress have been frozen or canceled.

Democrats have had to rely on the courts to block some of Trump’s efforts, but they have been unable to do it through legislation. They were also powerless to stop Trump’s big tax cut and immigration crackdown bill that Republicans helped pay for by cutting future spending on safety net programs such as Medicaid and SNAP, formerly known as food stamps.

The Democrats’ struggles to blunt the Trump administration’s priorities has prompted calls for the party’s congressional leadership to take a more forceful response.

Schumer experienced that firsthand after announcing in March that he would support moving ahead with a funding bill for the 2025 budget year. There was a protest at his office, calls from progressives that he be primaried in 2028 and suggestions that the Democratic Party would soon be looking for new leaders.

This time around, Schumer demanded that Republicans negotiate with Democrats to get their votes on a spending bill. The Senate rules, he noted, requires bipartisan support to meet the 60-vote threshold necessary to advance a spending bill.

But those negotiations did not occur, at least not with Schumer. Republicans instead worked with a small group of eight Democrats to tee up a short-term bill to fund the government generally at current levels and accused Schumer of catering to the party’s left flank when he refused to go along.

“The Senate Democrats are afraid that the radicals in their party will say that they caved,” House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., said at one of his many daily press conferences.

The blame game

The political stakes in the shutdown are huge, which is why leaders in both parties have held nearly daily press briefings to shape public opinion.

Roughly 6 in 10 Americans say Trump and Republicans in Congress have “a great deal” or “quite a bit” of responsibility for the shutdown, while 54% say the same about Democrats in Congress, according to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.

At least three-quarters of Americans believe each deserves at least a “moderate” share of blame, underscoring that no one was successfully evading responsibility.

Both parties looked to the Nov. 4 elections in Virginia, New Jersey and elsewhere for signs of how the shutdown was influencing public opinion. Democrats took comfort in their overwhelming successes. Trump called it a “big factor, negative” for Republicans. But it did not change the GOP’s stance on negotiating. Instead, Trump ramped up calls for Republicans to end the filibuster in the Senate, which would pretty much eliminate the need for the majority party to ever negotiate with the minority.

Damage of the shutdown

The Congressional Budget Office says that the negative impact on the economy will be mostly recovered once the shutdown ends, but not entirely. It estimated the permanent economic loss at about $11 billion for a six-week shutdown.

Beyond the numbers, though, the shutdown created a cascade of troubles for many Americans. Federal workers missed paychecks, causing financial and emotional stress. Travelers had their flights delayed and at times canceled. People who rely on safety net programs such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program saw their benefits stopped, and Americans throughout the country lined up for meals at food banks.

“This dysfunction is damaging enough to our constituents and economy here at home, but it also sends a dangerous message to the watching world,” said Sen. Jerry Moran, R-Kan. “It demonstrates to our allies that we are an unreliable partner, and it signals to our adversaries that we can’t work together to meet even the most fundamental responsibilities of Congress.”

Crews are assessing the damage after a fire broke out at a storage facility in Rochester Hills on Tuesday night. The fire has been put out, and no one was injured in the incident, according to fire officials.

We're told that crews responded to the fire at John R and Avon around 8:43 p.m. last night. Ann Nichols, Fire Marshal and Assistant Chief for the Rochester Hills fire department, tells us that eight departments responded to the scene.

President Donald Trump over the weekend floated an idea that took real estate agents, mortgage brokers and housing experts by surprise: the 50-year mortgage.

On Saturday, Trump posted an image on Truth Social titled “Great American Presidents.” It included a photo of President Franklin D. Roosevelt under the words “30-year mortgage” and a photo of Trump beneath the words “50-year mortgage.” (Mortgages were extended to 30 years in the 1940s as part of Roosevelt’s push to make home buying more affordable.)

Housing economists say the longer time frame could save buyers a couple hundred dollars a month, depending on the size of the mortgage and other details. But it would be costlier in other ways, including with more interest paid over a longer period of time. Implementing such a policy would also require tedious changes from regulators, plus buy-in from lenders and the broader housing finance industry.

So far, there’s little sense of how popular a 50-year mortgage would be. Here’s what we know so far.

What has the Trump administration said?

After Trump’s Truth Social post on Saturday, Bill Pulte, the administration’s top housing finance official, posted on X that “we are indeed working on The 50 year Mortgage – a complete game changer.” Pulte is the head of the Federal Housing Finance Agency who also made himself chair of mortgage behemoths Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, companies that have been under government control since the 2008 housing crisis. Fannie and Freddie are essential to the smooth functioning of the U.S. mortgage market and together guarantee about half of existing home loans.

In a statement, a White House official who declined to be named said Trump “is always exploring new ways to improve housing affordability for everyday Americans. Any official policy changes will be announced by the White House.”

An FHFA spokesperson who also declined to be named said, “We are studying, and have not finalized, a wide variety of options related to multi year loans, including the ability to make mortgages transferable or portable. If banks can sell someone’s mortgage, we should at least explore if there are opportunities for regular Americans to have flexibility.”

One person close to the White House said the announcement came after Democrats swept in last week’s elections, in part on pledges to boost affordability for housing and more. But that person, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss it publicly, said Trump’s social media post had no substantial policy behind it yet.

Would 50-year mortgages save buyers money?

With a longer timeline, home buyers have much more time to pay back a loan. And they would have lower monthly payments along the way. For example, let’s assume a home sells for $400,000. A buyer puts up 10 percent – or $40,000 – for a down payment. The buyer gets a 6.25 percent interest rate, slightly above last week’s 30-year fixed rate average of 6.22 percent.

That buyer would owe about $2,300 each month on a 30-year mortgage. On a 50-year loan, they would owe about $2,000. They might pay more than that, though – that math assumes a buyer gets the same rate for both mortgages, which is unlikely, since shorter loans typically have lower rates. So rates on 50-year loans could be higher than on 30-year ones.

A lower monthly payment could be beneficial for new buyers looking to get a foothold in the market. But it might also work against them if they are only planning on living in the house for a few years, or if they don’t know how their needs will shake out across decades.

What about potential drawbacks?

Buyers’ monthly payments may be lower, but they’ll end up paying much more interest over two more decades. With a 50-year loan, total interest on that $400,000 home would amount to $816,396, compared with $438,156 on a 30-year loan. That’s 86 percent more interest over the life of the loans, said Joel Berner, senior economist at Realtor.com.

And it will take much longer for owners to build equity. Ten years into paying off a 30-year mortgage on that $400,000 home, an owner would have a 24 percent stake in a house, setting aside rising home values. With a 50-year mortgage, that would be 14 percent.

Berner said addressing the nation’s affordability problems will take lots of ideas, including how to generate more construction so there are enough homes to meet Americans’ needs. But a new mortgage offering could juice demand before supply can catch up – which would push prices even higher.

“This is a creative way to solve this problem,” Berner said, “but I don’t think it addresses the fundamental issues that we have.”

What would it take to offer a 50-year mortgage?

Establishing a new kind of mortgage could be possible, albeit complex, wrote Jaret Seiberg, managing director at TD Cowen, in a Monday analyst note. The Dodd-Frank Act – the landmark legislation that reformed the financial system after the 2008 financial crisis – says mortgages that exceed 30 years do not meet the definition of a qualified mortgage, which also means Fannie and Freddie can’t buy them.

But regulators have the ability to alter those qualifications to keep mortgages affordable. All told, the process could take at least a year to implement, Seiberg wrote, and it’s unlikely that lenders would originate 50-year mortgages without clear policy changes first.

Without changing the qualifications, the new loans could be hard to find – and more expensive. Lenders may be less willing to offer 50-year mortgages if they know Fannie and Freddie can’t buy them, a spokesperson for the Mortgage Bankers Association said in a statement. Limited interest from investors could also push interest rates up.

What’s next?

Any details from the White House or FHFA would be needed for the market to prepare for such a change. Joe Brusuelas, chief economist at RSM, said that for now, the administration’s posts appear to be more about messaging than substantial policy. But, Brusuelas said, younger generations “may look at this differently.”

“If they think they’re saving $300 or $400 a month, then that’s a big deal,” he said. “That covers the car payment, maybe.”

The House of Representatives is expected to vote Wednesday on legislation to reopen the federal government, putting an end to the longest shutdown in American history.

However, it won't just be the length of this shutdown that is remembered. It will also be the cost.

ADDING UP THE COSTS

It isn't necessarily easy to put a price tag on the federal government being shuttered since October 1. After all, families have struggled following the loss of food benefits and missed flights to family gatherings.

Wendy Edelberg knows something about the cost of shutdowns. For years, she served as the chief economist at the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office. Edelberg calculated the loss of the last shutdown in 2018 and 2019.

"It will be the most expensive shutdown in history," Edelberg said.

Estimates vary from group to group, but the estimated cost to the economy of this shutdown is anywhere between $10 billion and $15 billion.

"The part that we never get back is the work that these federal workers should have been doing if they had been on the job," Edelberg said.

Edelberg says when federal workers receive back pay, SNAP food assistance benefits are paid, airports return to normal, and the federal government begins buying again, the economy should rebound from the recent loss.

Edelberg fears the impacts of this shutdown may linger because of a demoralized federal workforce.

"If you have basically knee-capped the federal workforce, you can see a less productive federal government going forward," Ederlberg warns.

There has also been a political cost to this shutdown.

On October 1, the approval rating for Congress was 28%, according to Real Clear Politics' polling average. As of November 10, it has dropped to 18%

That could affect politics in next year's midterms.

The health care impacts of this shutdown are relevant as well. After all, the deal to reopen the government did not produce any health insurance policy changes that Democrats fought for during the shutdown.

Expiring Affordable Care Act subsidies at the end of this year are projected to result in 4.2 million Americans dropping coverage because premium costs are too high, according to the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office.

KFF, a health care policy group, estimates that Obamacare insurers are raising premiums on the insurance marketplace by 26% on average.

Q: We have a question for you regarding our bathroom. We want to convert our bathtub to a shower stall so we do not have to lift our legs so high to get in and out. Will it be harder to sell our house in the future without a bathtub?

A: I wouldn’t worry about it. If making this change allows you to stay and enjoy your home for years to come, then do it for your needs. When you sell, you could change it back to a tub or give an allowance to the buyer if it becomes an issue.

Home maintenance tip

I would like to vent a little here — about clothes dryer venting. I go into many homes, and whether it’s as a buyer’s agent or as a seller’s agent listing a home, I always look at the appliances, including the washer and dryer. When I look at the dryers, I observe what kind of ducting it has. There is flexible (looks like a flimsy accordion style, which is usually white vinyl or foil), semi-rigid (looks like a flexible aluminum tube) and then there is rigid (looks like the sheet metal ductwork you would see on your furnace). According to the National Fire Protection Association, in 2014-2018, local fire departments responded to an average of 13,820 home structure fires per year in which dryers were involved in the ignition. These fires caused an average of seven civilian deaths, 344 civilian injuries, and $233 million in direct property damage annually. The main issue for dryer ducts is that lint goes through them while still containing some moisture, and it sticks to the walls of the ducting.

You might think that the lint trap stops all lint, but it does not. The flexible and semi-rigid ducting, because of the ribs, are more prone to catching lint than the smooth rigid metal ducts. The danger is when the interior of the ducting gets coated with lint and the dryer gives off a spark or high heat that can ignite the lint, causing a fire in the ductwork. If you have a flexible duct, it’s going to quickly melt and possibly allow the fire to spread in your home. A semi-rigid is a little more fire resistant, but it is not as good as the rigid sheet metal type. Not only is it important to have the best ductwork, but it’s also important to have the ductwork cleaned and to have the inside of the dryer cleaned, as well. According to NFPA, one-third of dryer fires were caused by a failure to clean.

Market update

September’s market update for Macomb County and Oakland County’s housing market (house and condo sales) is as follows: In Macomb County, the average sales price was up by almost 5% and in Oakland County, it was up by more than 5%. Macomb County’s on-market inventory was unchanged at 0% and Oakland County’s on-market inventory was up by more than 5%. Macomb County’s average days on market was 29 days and Oakland County’s average days on market was 25 days. Closed sales in Macomb County were up by more than 2% and closed sales in Oakland County were up by more than 4%. (All comparisons are month to month, year to year.)

By the long-standing historical definition from the National Association of Realtors, which has been in existence since 1908, a buyer’s market is when there is a seven-month supply or more of inventory on the market. A balanced market between buyers and sellers is when there is a six-month supply of inventory. A seller’s market is when there is a five-month or less supply of inventory. Inventory has continued to stay low. In September, the state of Michigan’s inventory was at 2.8 months of supply. Macomb County’s inventory was at 2.4 months of supply and Oakland County’s inventory was at 2.5 months of supply. By definition, it’s still not close to a buyer’s market.

A legion of rock fans is still mourning the death of Kiss’ Ace Frehley last month, but few more so than John 5.

The Grosse Pointe-born guitarist considered Frehley both a friend and colleague. 5 (nee Lowery) is a Kiss fan first and foremost. He maintains an extensive (understatement) collection of Kiss memorabilia dubbed the Knights in Satan’s Service Museum, which he displayed publicly in the spring. He also took what’s acknowledged to be Gene Simmons’ final photo in makeup, shortly after Kiss’ farewell concert on Dec. 2, 2023, in New York, and co-wrote a song for Paul Stanley’s “Live to Win” solo album in 2006.

5 played on Frehley’s two “Origins” albums in 2016 and 2020, as well, but says there was much more to the relationship than guitars.

“He was my great friend for, like, 40 years. Very friendly,” 5, 55, says during a tour bus ride through Florida on his way to Georgia. “We would go to movies, go to pawn shops, just run around and things like that — what friends do. I didn’t really talk to him a lot about Kiss or memorabilia or the ’70s or anything like that. We were just good friends. We had a lot of laughs, a lot of fun. He really was my hero — still is, of course. I miss him every single day.

“I mean, he changed the world, he really did,” 5 continues. “Everybody loved Ace. Gene is the face of Kiss, then it was Ace … because he was just cool. He was like Fonzie cool, or James Dean cool or anything like that. Just naturally cool. That’s something you can’t learn or teach, and people just gravitate towards that energy. He’s immortal like that.”

And, 5 adds, Frehley’s playing was equally iconic. “Omigod, he influenced everyone. Everyone that’s playing today pretty much has been influenced in some way from Ace. I could just rattle off a list, but it would take way too long.

“And it’s not just the guitar playing; it goes beyond that. You just see a picture of him and — especially as a kid — you’re like, “Omigod, that is cool!” And then you hear him, and you’re sold. He was one of a kind.”

Not surprisingly, 5 is not playing any of Frehley’s material, even in tribute, during his co-headlining tour with fellow guitarist and bandleader Richie Kotzen. “A lot of people at the shows are like: ‘Play Kiss! Play some Ace songs!,’ he acknowledges. “But to be honest with you, I can’t do it. It’s too emotional for me right now.”

5 has no shortage of other music to play, of course.

Honing his musical chops while growing up on Wellington Street — starting with “Hee Haw” and continuing with his local guitar teacher, Robert Gillespie — 5 moved to Los Angeles when he was 17 and established a reputation as both a player and a writer. Producer Bob Marlette became a supporter, and 5 logged credits on albums by Ozzy Osbourne, Alice Cooper, Meat Loaf, Lynyrd Skynyrd, former Journey frontman Steve Perry and many others — even, surprisingly, the likes of Dolly Parton, Salt-N-Pepa and Ricky Martin. 5 also toured with Rob Zombie (as well as playing on some of his film scores), Marilyn Manson and David Lee Roth, and since 2022, he’s been part of Motley Crue — and does include a medley of that group’s songs in his sets.

“All these people come to the show and have Motley Crue shirts on and things like that,” explains 5, who first wrote with Motley bassist Nikki Sixx for his Sixx A.M. band with fellow Michigander James Michael. “They know I’m in the band now, so I thought it would be fun to end the show with a bunch of the songs that are the soundtrack of our lives … ’cause I was a fan first, before I played with them.

“People go crazy for it; they really, really enjoy it. I make ’em sing ‘Home Sweet Home,’ and everybody knows it. It’s like singing ‘Happy Birthday’ or something. It’s really fun.”

And after Motley’s Las Vegas residency in September — which marked frontman Vince Neil’s return after suffering multiple strokes — 5 is ready for more Crue work.

“I’m just waiting, waiting, waiting,” says 5, who was part of recent Motley songs “Dogs of War” and “Cancelled.” “I was so proud of Vince. He was so good. It was like a movie. This terrible thing happened to him. He had to learn to walk again, learn to sing again, and then he comes out like a champion. He just killed it every night. Every show was great. I was so proud of what we did.

“I’ve had just a blast. It’s been three years already. I feel like there will be more, but like I said, I’m just waiting to hear.”

In the meantime, 5 is continuing his own, mostly instrumental, music alongside all the other concerns. His latest, “Ghost,” came out last month, featuring 10 tracks with contributions from Motley Crue’s Tommy Lee, Stephen Perkins of Jane’s Addiction, Kenny Aronoff and brothers Matt and Gregg Bissonnette from Warren, who worked with 5 in Roth’s band.

“I took my sweet, sweet time with this record,” says 5, who includes a cover of the jazz standard “Moonglow” on the set as a tribute to his parents. “When I went into the studio, I wanted to record all the songs as performances. If I messed up, I would start at the beginning again. I think that’s a lost art today. The technology is so incredible, but I really wanted to capture the energy of a single performance, from start to finish.”

5 will be on the road until just before Thanksgiving, and he has an eye towards 2016 already — both with the band and on his own.

“It really is such an incredible pleasure. I love just having a guitar in my hands and being out on stage pickin’ and playing — anywhere,” he says. “I just wanted to be a session musician — go to work and come home. That’s when I was a kid. I never imagined my life would turn out like this.

“I love music. I love it all. I love everybody I’ve played with, and I’m just thankful every day that this is what I get to do. It’s wonderful. It’s just a dream come true.”

John 5 and Richie Kotzen perform Wednesday, Nov. 19 at District 142, 142 Maple St., Wyandotte. district142live.com. The two also play Thursday, Nov. 20 at the Machine Shop, 3539 Dort Highway, Flint. 810-715-2650 or themachineshop.info. Doors at 7 p.m. for both.

No one likes getting stuck in traffic, but that's exactly what's happening to drivers in Holly. Drivers there are having a hard time getting onto I-75 at Grange Hall because of the installation of new stop signs.

Watch Ali's report in the video player below 6am version: Drivers frustrated over new stop signs installed on Grange Hall over I-75

Jason Bradshaw reached out to me on Facebook and sent me photos (below). One of those photos shows the stop-and-go traffic, and the other is a map showing the slow-moving traffic.

It seemed liked they just showed up out of nowhere, and there were no answers to you know, what happened here," he told me.

Jason said these stop signs on Grange Hall over I-75 are adding extra time and frustration to his drive.

Now in order for me to travel across that to get to Dixie Highway, or any other points that are to the east, I have to wait on average 5-10 minutes for traffic to get through the two stop signs that are there," Bradshaw said.

Once Jason reached out to me, I got to work to figure out why the stop signs were installed.

Diane Cross with the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) tells me the stop signs were requested by the surrounding municipalities to help first responders.

I believe we have maybe 7 or 8 different points there where traffic comes together, so working with the local emergency responders in those local communities, it was decided that having the stop signs would then allow the emergency vehicles to get around," Cross said. "If we can stop traffic at some point, then you can get an ambulance through, a fire engine, police, that kind of thing.

While drivers might be frustrated now, there are plans in the works to help alleviate some of the congestion.

We are going to come back in 27 2027 which is not that far away in the construction world, and make these areas that have stop signs roundabouts," Cross said.

While Bradshaw likes the idea of roundabouts, he's hoping for a better solution until they can be constructed.

It does make me feel better that there is a solution in mind, however, the short term inconvenience definitely is going to spill over to a lot of frustration," Bradshaw said. Can we get stop temporary stop lights? Or something that can not cause a problem when you have heavy traffic volumes?"

If you have something that's driving you crazy, you can email me at Ali.Hoxie@WXYZ.com or reach out to me on any one of my social media pages.

BLOOMFIELD HILLS — In nearly every set of Tuesday night’s D1 regional semifinal, Birmingham Groves built an early lead of at least four points over St. Clair Shores Lakeview.

Twice the Huskies tied those sets, and though they controlled another from start to finish, it proved to not be enough as the Falcons emerged victorious in four sets, winning by scores of 25-22, 25-23, 17-25, 25-17.

Tuesday’s second semifinal at Marian High School between the two young teams began with the Falcons jumping out to a 10-4 start, yet eventually Lakeview vanquished the deficit and led at 17-16.

With Groves up 22-21, sophomore Kamryn Bambrough and Olivia Michalak provided points to leave the Falcons one away, and though a tip by sophomore Lauren Boatman provided the Huskies hope, Groves didn’t let it slip.

Again, the Falcons established a 9-3 advantage in the next set, but Lakeview was pesky as ever to get it even at 16-all. When Groves followed that up with three unanswered, Lakeview answered with five of the next six. Still even at 23-23, senior libero Margaux Nollet stepped up to push one over, then a tandem effort at the net for the winning point put Groves up two sets.

Asked bout the team’s propensity to come out of the gate on a roll in sets, Groves assistant coach Ashley Dixon responded, “Our girls have been working hard all season to make that who they want to be. In that third set, we kind of fall short sometime, but I think we’ve been proving time and time again that that’s not us.”

The exception to the Falcons’ early rule came with Lakeview on the brink of elimination. This time, the Huskies (15-21-1) got off to a 10-5 start, and as Groves labored through some attacking errors, Lakeview’s lead remained steady around six or seven points throughout as senior CeCe Decker set up Boatman and classmate Emma Mulrenin on back-to-back kills to win the third set.

“I think it’s somewhat (to do) with the perception we started the year with ourselves,” Lakeview head coach Kevin Nugent said of his side’s ability to battle back after falling behind. “Being a strong team and figuring out as the match goes along that we can do a lot of things that we’re prepared to do and just sticking with the process. I think that’s probably the difference in a lot of these games. We’ve just had those slow starts, and then you work a lot to get back in it, and you kind of get spent. And then you need every point at that point, and it gets exhausting trying to win points, especially against a team that has good hitters that can put the ball away.”

As Nugent alluded to, that effort seemed to finally take its toll by the time the Huskies battled back from Groves' third early lead. Ahead just 7-6, the Falcons went on a 7-1 run and gradually mounted a cushion of double-digits.

Still, Lakeview made the Falcons breathe a sigh of relief after staving off the match point seven consecutive times before Groves could finish the job.

On laboring to get that decisive point, Nollet, one of just four seniors for the Falcons, said, "(It was) just trying to stay confident. Don't be afraid. We were up by a lot, so I wasn't too afraid. It would have been nice to get it done quicker, but we stayed as a team and finished it strong, so it was OK ... I think our energy definitely up (as much in the third), and we had troubles with communication, but we cleaned it up pretty quickly."

As with Groves, Lakeview relied on few (three) seniors this season, so its future remains bright despite what it will miss from Decker, Mulrenin and Bethann Dostine.

"We return a lot of young kids," Nugent said. "Our seniors were incredible this year. They really set a great example, so I think the team coming back next year has a much better understanding of what's required to be successful. I owe that debt of gratitude to them and their sacrifices. So I really look forward to next year, but gonna miss the seniors, because they were really valuable to the culture, the team, everything."

Groves' next task on Thursday is formidable in No. 2 Bloomfield Hills, who beat Grosse Pointe South in the evening's first semifinal. But in the moment, the focus for the Falcons was on going as far as anyone in the building from the program could recall. They were last district champs in back-to-back years in 2013-14.

"I've been with Groves for four years, and we've always kind of lost earlier during districts, so it means a lot to be able to push into regionals, especially since we haven't done it for volleyball in a long time," Nollet said.

With so much returning, she speculated like it could be the first leg of another back-to-back, adding, "Honestly, the underclassmen are really, really strong, and it just makes me excited for what Groves has to come. I'm excited for them next year to kind of build on this momentum."

CLARKSTON – Jen Bunting added some track practice to the volleyball practices at Oxford during recent weeks.

No, the Wildcats did not head out literally out to track around the football field, but Oxford did endure some serious increase of running at practices down the stretch.

There was a reason – conditioning in case Oxford had to endure some five-set matches in the postseason.

“We won the (Oakland Activities Association) White (Division) at 8-0. We swept every team we faced in the league,” said Bunting. “The girls hated me in practice for the last 3-4 weeks because I made them run miles and miles and miles. But it’s proven me right. I knew we would have to play some five-game matches in the tournament and here we are with two straight that have gone five games. The kids weren’t used to that all season. So, I made them run a lot in practice.” 

Oxford has had to play some lengthy games in the postseason as Bunting predicted. Five days after defeating Clarkston in five sets to win the school’s first district since 2002, Oxford ended up outlasting Clinton Township Chippewa Valley 3-2 Tuesday night in the first of two Division 1 regional semifinals matches at Clarkston High School. The Wildcats rallied past Clinton Township Chippewa Valley 25-11, 21-25, 23-25, 25-12, 15-12 in a match that took nearly 2.5-hours to complete.

While junior Sienna Austin ended the marathon match with a tip kill right by the net, it was the play of junior outside hitter Brenna Mirovsky, who recently made an oral commitment to play at nearby NCAA Division I Oakland University, who took over in the fourth and fifth sets.

“Coach just told me to move around the ball. Their defense started moving back so this really helped the team and I started to get more hits,” said Mirovsky of the late-game surge. “And also getting our team hyped, it really helped our momentum go.”

Mirovsky had four straight kills and five kills over the final eight points in the fourth set to help Oxford (27-12-5) force a Game 5. In that fifth set, Mirovsky added three more kills, as the Wildcats came back from an early 2-1 deficit to quickly build a commanding 12-4 lead in the set.

After Chippewa Valley closed to within 14-12, the Wildcats closed it out to advance to the regional finals for the first time since the 1990s. The Wildcats were knocked out by Utica Ford in three sets in the 2002 season, the last time they even played a regional game but that was in the regional semifinals.

This time around, Oxford is trying to stick around for a while, as the Wildcats will play in the regional finals Thursday at 7 p.m. at Clarkston. Oxford will face Romeo in the regional finals – a game between two teams not listed as honorable mention in the polls.

Mirovsky finished with 16 kills to pace Oxford. Senior Jess Romine led the way with assists, senior Tara Swanson anchored the back line and led the team with digs, and Austin and senior Ellasyn Glaz also had strong games attacking and with kills for Oxford.

Oxford also focused on keeping the ball away from Chippewa Valley senior Reagan Lesley, who is the Big Reds’ all-time leaders in kills.

“We told the girls to do the best you can to keep the ball away from her (Lesley),” said Bunting. “We did a good job at times, especially in the last two sets. But (Chippewa Valley) played incredible defense tonight. We had some amazing hits where we thought stuff was going down, but they dug it up. This ended up being an amazing five-set game and we found a way to win it. It was a great match, they made us push for it, made us earn it.”

Lesley still had 15 kills and sophomore Ava Creech added 10 kills for Chippewa Valley (30-11-5). Senior Samantha Mondalek added 18 digs for the Big Reds, who had four sophomores and two freshmen gain minutes this season.

Chippewa Valley won its first district this season since 2014 and still has a relatively young team with just three seniors. The Big Reds were involved in a five-set thriller for the second consecutive game but just came up short.

“We weren’t going out without a fight, that’s for sure,” said Chippewa Valley coach Chris Hull. “This was a great match. We didn’t give them any easy points. We went out there to see what we can do and we were up 2-1 and then they tied it at 2-2. We made them earn it in the fifth. I’m proud of them. We played them tough.

“I have to give them a lot of credit. They double-blocked Reagan just the way they should. They had to make adjustments and we made some adjustments,” added Hull. “When we were able to get around the block, they were there to clean it up. It was a good defensive game for both of us. They happened to score a little bit more than we did in that fifth set and that was it.”
