Italian concept Bella Limone replaces Pinky’s Rooftop in Royal Oak

By Melody Baetens, MediaNews Group

Busy restaurateur Adam Merkel has changed the concept of his rooftop space at the corner of 11 Mile and Main Street in downtown Royal Oak.

After shuttering the feminine and rosy Pinky’s Rooftop earlier this year, Bella Limone made its debut last week. Inspired by Italy’s Amalfi Coast, the new concept opens just in time to soak up the milder days of late summer and early fall on the rooftop patio and breezy dining room.

“Bella Limone was created to capture the warmth and vibrancy of Italian hospitality,” Merkel said in statement shared with the media. Merkel owns several area restaurants, including Cello Italian and Silver Pig in Howell and he’s also involved in the new Big Rock Italian Chophouse in Birmingham with Cameron Mitchell. “On a recent trip to Capri and Positano, I was inspired by the beauty, flavors, and spirit of the Amalfi Coast. From our handcrafted pasta to our signature limoncello, every detail reflects that inspiration and a passion for bringing people together.”

To help welcome guests to the new restaurant, the menu at Belle Limone will be 50% off for the first hour of business each day through the end of September. There will also be select wine specials during the first hour.

The menu highlights the house-made pasta, available in two sizes, as well as a gluten-free option. There’s also house specialties such as sausage and peppers, tomato bruschetta, chicken limoncello, beef tenderloin medallions and scallops with Parmesan risotto. Merkle’s well-known carrot cake with cream cheese frosting stays on the menu.

“Adam brings authenticity, creativity and heart to everything he does,” said Cameron Mitchell, Merkel’s partner and mentor, in a statement. “Bella Limone captures that spirit beautifully and I’m excited to see it thrive.”

Next, Little Bella’s Pizza and Wine Bar will open on the ground floor area at the same address, where Pearl’s Deep Dive restaurant was. Merkle says that should be ready in October. The other space in this floorplan, where Mediterranean restaurant Bohemia used to be will be used as a banquet area and private event room.

Bella Limone, 100 S. Main in Royal Oak, is open 4-9:30 p.m. Tues.-Thurs., 4-10:30 p.m. Fri., 3-10:30 p.m. Sat. and 3-8:30 p.m. Sun. Walk-ins are welcome, or reservations can be made through the OpenTable app or by visiting bellalimone.com.

West Nile virus detected in Washtenaw County, officials say

By Charles E. Ramirez, MediaNews Group

West Nile virus has been detected in Washtenaw County mosquitoes, health officials said.

The virus was found in mosquitoes collected on Aug. 5 and Aug. 8 in Ann Arbor, Ypsilanti Township, and Saline, according to the Washtenaw County Health Department.

“No human cases of the West Nile virus have been identified in Washtenaw,” officials said in a post on the department’s Facebook page. “This testing confirms there is a possibility of infection in our local area.”

At least four human cases have been reported in Michigan so far this year.

Last week, Kent County officials said one of the county’s residents died from the virus.

According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there have been 320 West Nile virus disease cases so far in 2025.

Madisyn Baldwin’s mother: Oxford settlement not sincere, remorseful, ‘it’s an ultimatum’

By Kara Berg, MediaNews Group

The mother of Oxford High School shooting victim Madisyn Baldwin said on Friday that she doesn’t see the $500,000 she accepted from the school district as a settlement — she sees it as an ultimatum from them.

Nicole Beausoleil, who sued Oxford Community Schools along with three other families for its role in a 2021 mass shooting, said she took the money from the district not because she was giving up on enacting change within Oxford schools, but because she had to think of Madisyn’s father and her three younger siblings.

“I felt (the $500,000) was the only measure I’d get from the tragedy to help them do everything they deserve to do,” Beausoleil said. “It was very hard for me to do. I really didn’t want to take it. I didn’t want it to show like I gave up, which I didn’t give up. I knew it was a take it or leave it type of deal. I felt in my heart I couldn’t make the decision only for myself.”

Beausoleil’s 17-year-old daughter Madisyn was one of four kids killed at Oxford High School on Nov. 30, 2021. Justin Shilling, 17, Tate Myre, 16, and Hana St. Juliana, 14, were also killed.

Beausoleil and Justin’s family were the only two to take the settlements. The Myres and the St. Julianas rejected it. The settlements were connected to federal lawsuits the families filed, alleging the district failed to protect students and downplayed the threat the killer posed to the school.

“I just want the change. I want people to see the bigger picture here, not look at this as two families gave up and took the settlement,” Beausoleil said. “It’s not a settlement, it’s an ultimatum. Take it or leave it, you have this many hours to decide. There wasn’t anything about it that was sincere or remorseful.”

The shooter, Ethan Crumbley, was sentenced to life in prison without parole in December 2023, though he is appealing both the sentence and his guilty plea to the Michigan Supreme Court.

The panel of three judges from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded former counselor Shawn Hopkins and former dean of students Nick Ejak did not display a callous indifference toward the risk they perceived the shooter posed prior to the Nov. 30, 2021 attack and that Oxford schools had immunity and could not be sued. The wrongful death lawsuit was dismissed May 20.

Oxford Schools attorney Tim Mullins said the offer to the families before the 6th Circuit decision was $1 million, and it was lowered to $500,000 after that.

“We always try to reach a reasonable resolution of a disputed claim,” Mullins said. “We are pleased to have been able to do so at this point.”

Beausoleil said the district has only seen her daughter as a liability.

“I want her to be seen in a different light,” Beausoleil said. “I want this kind of just to be behind me and to keep moving forward to continue to create change. We’re going to constantly fight, there’s no stopping it.”

While she’s lost a lot of hope in the past four years, she said she plans to keep fighting for her children. She filed the lawsuit so she could see change in the district, so no one would have to feel the pain she and the other families felt.

“Our lawsuits were to create change, it wasn’t to create this sue happy, ‘oh need a bunch of money’ idea,” Beausoleil said. “We want systematic change. We want this change because there was neglect on all aspects.”

Madisyn’s younger sister Payton is starting her freshman year this fall, Beausoleil said. She’s going to Anchor Bay schools, and Beausoleil said she has gone through safety directives with the district. It’s heartening to see they’ve taken her suggestions to improve student safety, she said.

But still, the thought of Payton going to high school has taken a toll on Beausoleil, she said. The money will help to make sure Payton can go to college at an Ivy League if she wants to and to help her autistic brother.

Madisyn would’ve wanted that, Beausoleil said. She had planned to go into neuroscience to learn about autism and how the brain functioned.

“It’s not a lot of money, I’m not expecting the kids to live off of this,” Beausoleil said. “But it’s a start in the right direction of where it should’ve started in November 2021.”

Oxford shooter’s mother asks to appeal manslaughter convictions, alleges ‘sham prosecution’

By Aya Fayad, MediaNews Group

The convicted mother of the Oxford High School shooter who killed four of his classmates on Friday asked the Michigan Court of Appeals to throw out her involuntary manslaughter convictions for what she described as a “sham prosecution” by a “cheating” prosecutor.

In the historic February 2024 decision, Crumbley was convicted in a jury trial on four counts of involuntary manslaughter arising from the criminal acts of her son, Ethan, who shot and killed four students at Oxford High School in November 2021. Ethan’s father, James Crumbley, was also convicted on four counts of involuntary manslaughter in a separate jury trial in March 2024. Both were sentenced to 10 to 15 years in prison.

Prosecutors said both parents were grossly negligent by storing a gun and ammunition where their son could access it, and that they missed repeated opportunities to stop the tragedy. The decision marked the first time in the United States that a parent was convicted of manslaughter for a mass shooting carried out by their child.

“Opportunity knocked over and over again and was ignored,” Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews said last year at the trial. “No one answered.”

However, both Crumbley and her husband have long argued that they did not know of their son’s plans for a mass shooting at his school and never noticed any signs of his deteriorating mental state. Her attorney further argued to the Court of Appeals that the trial was “riddled with errors.”

“This entire prosecution of Mrs. Crumbley was a sham that should never have been allowed to proceed to trial,” appellate attorney Michael R. Dezsi said in a statement. “The case against Mrs. Crumbley has been off the rails from the beginning … not to mention all the cheating by the Oakland County Prosecutor.”

The Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office did not immediately respond Saturday to requests for comment. But Prosecutor Karen McDonald in the past has called Dezsi’s claims “meritless” and said the only motivation for his requests claiming that she had secret agreements with two star witnesses was to generate headlines and divert attention away from Crumbley’s actions.

Crumbley’s appeal contended that she cannot be held criminally responsible for involuntary manslaughter because she “owed no legal duty to the victims of her son’s criminal acts” and was “under no legal duty to control and prevent her son from committing intentional, criminal acts.” The document argued that Crumbley’s convictions are inconsistent with Michigan law because of the absence of a “special relationship” with the shooting victims, and therefore no legal duty to protect another from the criminal acts of a “third party.”

The appeal also said past precedent about a parent’s duty to “control their minor child” has been applied only in situations when a child is unable to comprehend the risks or dangers of their actions, not in circumstances involving a teenager intentionally committing violent acts. Dezsi noted Michigan passed a safe-storage gun law after the shooting, meaning there “was simply no law in place from which to impose a legal duty on Mrs. Crumbley to prevent her son from accessing the firearm to commit intentional, criminal acts.”

Prosecutors have countered that there was a foreseeable risk in Ethan Crumbley’s actions and that Jennifer Crumbley failed to put a stop to them. During the trial, they argued that the parent ignored signs that her 15-year-old son was in crisis, failed to get him mental health treatment and bought him a 9mm gun anyway, while failing to put a lock on the gun.

Responsibility of Oxford officials

Dezsi also argued that it was Oxford High School officials, not Jennifer Crumbley, who had a legal duty to prevent her son’s acts because her son was under his school’s control and supervision. Consequently, officials such as former counselor Shawn Hopkins and former dean of students Nick Ejak had a legal duty to protect students Hana St. Juliana, Justin Shilling, Tate Myre and Madisyn Baldwin, who were killed in the shooting, based on the officials’ “special relationship” to them.

In March, a three-judge panel from the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously concluded Hopkins and Ejak did not display callous indifference toward the risk they perceived Ethan Crumbley posed prior to the Nov. 30, 2021, attack. The wrongful death lawsuit was dismissed on May 20.

However, on Thursday, the families of Baldwin and Shilling confirmed they settled with the Oxford school district, Hopkins and Ejak for $500,000 each, despite an appeals court ruling that the district was protected by qualified immunity. The families of Myre and St. Juliana rejected the offers.

Nicole Beausoleil, Baldwin’s mother, said Friday that she took the settlement money not because she was giving up on making change within the school district, but because she had to think of her husband and three kids.

Errors in the trial

Dezsi also argued that multiple errors were made throughout the trial, and that the prosecution used improper evidence, and Judge Matthews allowed them to “cheat their way to a conviction.”

“We have discovered documents proving that the prosecutor engaged in an orchestrated smear campaign, paid for with taxpayers’ money, and made secret deals with witnesses to testify for the prosecution,” Dezsi said. “Yet despite all of the evidence surrounding the prosecutor’s misconduct, cheating, and mishandling of the case, Oakland County Circuit Judge Cheryl Matthews turned a blind eye to all of it.”

The allegations include that the prosecution was inconsistent, charging Ethan Crumbley as an adult but prosecuting his mother for not controlling her minor child. Dezsi also argued that the prosecution intentionally didn’t share its proffer agreements with Hopkins and Ejak, which shielded the two school officials from criminal blame instead of Jennifer Crumbley. And he contended the Oakland County jury was prejudiced against the mother.

Another argument is that the prosecution gave two definitions of involuntary manslaughter, but Matthews failed to instruct the jury members that they were required to agree on one of the two theories — gross negligence due to the inadequate storage of the gun or her legal duty to “control her minor child.”

Jennifer Crumbley is also contesting the introduction in court of the journal entries and text messages written by Ethan Crumbley, arguing they are “hearsay without an exception, more prejudicial than probative, and violated the United States and Michigan constitutions” because Ethan and his friend, the recipient, were never required to take the stand and testify.

The journal, seized from the student’s backpack that was found in the school bathroom, contained detailed plans to commit a mass murder at the school, entries about past events, statements about his parents and criticisms of school officials.

Texts Ethan Crumbley sent to his friend included messages revealing his desire to become a school shooter, some reading things like, “I have ZERO help for my mental problems and it’s causing me to SHOOT UP THE F—– SCHOOL.” and “My parents won’t listen to me about help or a therapist.”

“Not only did Judge Matthews allow the prosecution to cheat their way to a conviction, but she allowed the jury to hear improper evidence that favored the prosecution’s case while excluding other evidence that would have countered it,” the filing said.

Dezsi repeated Crumbley’s arguments that McDonald’s office had retained high-priced public relations firms costing Oakland County taxpayers nearly $300,000 to run a behind-the-scenes smear campaign against Jennifer Crumbley.

In June, Matthews found that McDonald the suppressed evidence, but it wasn’t a serious enough violation to deny Jennifer Crumbley from receiving “a trial and verdict worthy of confidence based on the cumulative effect of the significant evidence against her.” After the ruling, McDonald said it was “time to turn the attention away from the Crumbleys and refocus on the victims.”

Dezsi disagreed in the filing.

“There will be at least 10 more judges on higher courts who will review this case, and I’m confident that at some point in this process, Mrs. Crumbley’s convictions will be thrown out,” he added.

Michigan Dems cite potential ethics violation at John James event

By Grant Schwab, MediaNews Group

An activist for the Michigan Democratic Party filed an ethics complaint Friday against Michigan gubernatorial candidate and U.S. Rep. John James, R-Shelby Township, over the purported misuse of congressional resources.

The complaint alleged that James  used taxpayer resources from his U.S. House office at a Wednesday event where at least one staffer and several printed signs also promoted the Republican lawmaker’s run for governor of Michigan.

“His actions both mistreat taxpayers by misusing their hard-earned money for the private benefit of James’s campaign — and undermine our democracy by abusing the power of the United States Congress to influence a state election,” Joel Rutherford wrote in a complaint filed to the U.S. House Committee on Ethics.

Rutherford previously served as the Michigan Democratic Party’s chairperson for the 10th Congressional District, which James represents. The suburban Detroit district covers southern Macomb County and Rochester and Rochester Hills in Oakland County. James will eventually vacate the seat at the end of 2026, as he cannot run for both offices simultaneously.

The event in question, held at a minor league baseball game in Utica, featured a free giveaway of backpacks and classroom supplies for the upcoming school year. A spokeswoman for James rejected the ethics allegation on Friday.

“For three years, John James has supplied Michigan kids with free backpacks and school essentials, using no taxpayer dollars. Democrats, obsessed with government dependency and a woke agenda, attack a true leader for helping families,” James spokeswoman Hannah Osantowske said in a statement.

She continued: “Under ‘Democrat leadership’ Michigan students languish at a disgraceful 47th in national reading scores. John James is stepping up with a bold plan: as governor he will deliver results, restore academic excellence, and propel our kids to the top, backpacks included.”

The complaint criticized Osantowske, who serves as a spokesperson for James’ U.S. House office and his gubernatorial run, for promoting an event that advertised his state campaign using her congressional email address. Serving in dual roles is common, though rules require staffers to separate official communications between public offices and campaigns.

Rutherford pointed out that, according to the House Ethics Manual, “official resources of the House must, as a general rule, be used for the performance of official business of the House, and hence those resources may not be used for campaign or political purposes.”

Michigan Democratic Party Chair Curtis Hertel also called out James for the alleged violation.

“John James is misusing taxpayer-funded resources through his congressional office to promote his campaign for governor, which is illegal and a violation of House ethics rules,” he said in a statement. “James appears to have broken the law — and is focused on promoting himself rather than helping working Michiganders.

“We urge the House Ethics Committee to thoroughly investigate this incident, and if found to be an ethics violation, hold James accountable for this illegal and unethical conduct.”

Clarkston man accused of leaving sexual note for minor pleads no contest

By Charles Ramirez, MediaNews Group

A Clarkston man accused of leaving a sexually explicit note for a minor on a car in March has pleaded to charges, officials said.

Thomas Mellick Hensler, 38, entered a plea of no contest on Wednesday in Oakland County Circuit Court to accosting a minor, using a computer to commit a crime, and possession of methamphetamine, according to court records and the Oakland County Prosecutor’s Office.

Hensler is scheduled to be sentenced on Nov. 5 in the circuit court. The defendant will be sentenced as a habitual offender, serve time in prison and register as a sex offender, Oakland County Prosecutor Karen McDonald said in a statement Thursday.

In Michigan, courts treat no-contest pleas the same as guilty ones.

Hensler faces up to 10 years in prison for accosting a minor, up to 20 years for using a computer to commit a crime, and up to 10 years for drug possession.

Prosecutors initially charged Hensler with child sexually abusive activity, as well as using a computer to commit a crime and drug possession.

“The teenage victim was spending an afternoon shopping when her personal space and sense of safety were violated by Thomas Hensler’s criminal harassment,” McDonald said in a statement Thursday. “This outcome holds Henlser accountable and protects the victim from the stress of testifying in court.”

Hensler’s attorney, Patrick Gagniuk, was not immediately available for comment on Friday.

Authorities alleged the defendant left a note on a 17-year-old girl’s car at a Target store on Brown Road near Joslyn Road and Interstate 75 in Auburn Hills on March 18. They said he offered in the note to pay her for sexual favors and left a phone number.

Police texted the number and found the phone’s owner in the same parking lot, officials said. They searched the man’s vehicle and found drugs and sex toys in it, according to investigators.

Officers arrested Hensler and he was arraigned on charges the next day.

At the time, McDonald said Auburn Hills Police received multiple reports from parents about their children finding similar notes on their cars with the same phone number.

Hensler is the latest defendant to be accused of accosting a minor in Michigan.

Last week, a Trenton man was charged with accosting a child for immoral purposes and another crime after he allegedly tried to meet someone he believed was a 15-year-old girl but was an undercover police officer.

The same week, a former Michigan man was ordered to stand trial on two counts of accosting a child and four counts of first-degree criminal sexual conduct for allegedly sexually assaulting a child in Hillsdale County in 2008.

Last month, another former Michigan man was found guilty of first-degree criminal sexual conduct, second-degree criminal sexual conduct, accosting a child and several other charges.

“Our deepest condolences go out to the family and loved ones of this individual. This tragic outcome is a reminder that mosquitoes in our area are active and capable of spreading serious illness. Prevention remains our best protection.”

Earl said the death marks the first from the virus in Kent County since May 2024.

Officials did not release identifying information for health privacy reasons.

Earl added it also follows recent detections of the virus in local mosquito samples, including one collected 3,000 feet from where the latest victim lived.

Last month, the department reported it confirmed the virus in zip codes in Grand Rapids, Walker, and Plainfield Township — the first detection of the virus this year.

The virus is spread via mosquitoes that have bitten an infected bird before biting a human, according to officials. They said most people show no symptoms, and about one in five people develop mild, flu-like illness such as fever, headache, body aches, or rash. About one in 150 people develops severe illness affecting the central nervous system, which can sometimes be fatal.

There is no vaccine or specific treatment for the virus. Experts said the best way for people to protect themselves is to use a registered insect repellent, remove standing water in their surroundings, wear long-sleeve shirts and pants, cover holes in windows and doors, and limit time outside during the hours between dusk and dawn when mosquitoes are most active.

The Kent County case is the latest confirmation of West Nile cases in Michigan.

On Monday, health officials said they detected a case in an Oakland County resident, the county’s first of the season.

Last month, Macomb County officials said they detected their first case of the virus in mosquitoes.

Metro Detroit counties tackle affordable housing shortage. Here’s how

By Anne Snabes, MediaNews Group

Roseville ― A shortage of affordable housing, long an issue in Detroit, is increasingly a problem in the region’s suburbs, too, where suburban leaders are intensifying their efforts to do more.

The efforts in Macomb, Oakland and Wayne counties range from creating a trust fund to spur the construction of affordable units to doing a countywide housing assessment.

With nearly 50% of renters spending more than a third of their income on housing, Macomb County is conducting the first community and housing needs assessment this year that will provide data to local municipalities about what their communities want and need on housing. The county held 14 community engagement sessions this spring and summer and ran a survey to get residents’ input.

Wayne County is accepting proposals for affordable, multifamily housing projects. And Oakland County started a housing trust fund in 2023, which provides loans for developers and nonprofits to create workforce and mixed-income housing projects in the county.

Khadija Walker-Fobbs, Oakland County’s neighborhood and housing development officer, said developers or nonprofit organizations often need “gap financing” to complete projects with more affordable housing. They may be a few million dollars short of being able to pay for the project. The trust fund closes “the gap,” she said.

“It’s really something that we are very, very proud of and feel it could be a model for others as well, just on how to help close the gap financing on developments to make it possible for affordable housing developments to go up in an area where land costs are high,” Walker-Fobbs said.

“Because a lot of times, there could be a gap of a couple million dollars that a developer or nonprofit organization needs to be able to make something pencil on paper so that they can establish those units,” she said.

Housing is an issue in the region for two reasons: the cost of housing and the shortage of supply, said Naheed Huq, the manager of economic and community vitality at the Southeast Michigan Council of Governments.

“A lot of people, even if they wouldn’t be necessarily considered low-income, are still sort of straining to pay the housing costs,” Huq said. “And the cost of housing, both homeownership and rental, has gone up significantly.”

Efforts to boost the amount of affordable housing in Macomb, Oakland, and Wayne counties come as many renters in all three counties are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, which is the threshold that people are recommended to stay below. The renter burden rate, or the percentage of renter households paying more than the 30% threshold, was 46.7% in Macomb County, 46.8% in Oakland County and 49.2% in Wayne County in 2023, according to SEMCOG data.

Earlier this summer, Macomb County officials celebrated the opening of eight new rental apartments in a previously vacant lot at the corner of Kelly Road and Toepfer Drive in Eastpointe. The apartments resulted from a partnership between the county’s Department of Planning and Economic Development and the Community Housing Network, a nonprofit.

But the push to create more multifamily housing isn’t always welcomed in some communities. Earlier this year, some Rochester Hills residents balked when the city approved a plan to build a new 32-unit apartment complex on Old Orion Court near Rochester Road. Some had concerns about traffic and other issues.

Resident John Marsh said he worries that the apartment complex will make traffic worse on Orion Road.

“Traffic is unbearable during school times,” Marsh said.

Why housing costs are an issue

Median housing values have increased since 2010 in Oakland County, while staying flat in Macomb County but dipping slightly in Wayne County, according to SEMCOG data.

The median housing value in Oakland County was $320,400 in 2023, up 5.9% from $302,471 in 2010. In Macomb County, it was $231,400 in 2023, down 0.4% from $232,442 in 2010. And in Wayne County, median housing values dropped 5% from $179,291 in 2010 to $170,200.

As the adage goes, location is everything when it comes to housing costs, Huq said. Even if people in desirable areas have higher wages, they probably are spending more than 30% of their income on housing, she said. Huz also noted that if there is “less availability” of housing in an area, the cost rises.

Karolynn Faulkner, a SEMCOG planner, said a lot of builders say projects “only pencil out” for them to build for people who are above the median income or above the middle class.

“Even building for the middle class is very challenging, and that is related to things like the cost of land, the cost of labor, the laws that we have, whether those are state or local laws,” and the cost of debt, she said.

Faulkner said supplies and labor are expensive, and housing-related laws are “pretty restrictive.” She said some communities have minimum lot sizes, such as one home per acre, or only allow homes above a certain size, such as more than 1,500 square feet. She said these policies reduce the supply of housing.

Macomb County assesses housing

At a community engagement session at the Recreational Authority of Roseville and Eastpointe in mid-July, around 10 residents, nonprofit workers and consultants looked at large poster boards with statistics about housing, income and the labor force in Macomb County, remarking on what they saw.

After viewing the boards, they had group discussions, answering questions about housing. One community member said the prices of rentals stood out to her. The fair market rent, or the 40th percentile of gross rents for typical units in a local housing market, for a studio in Macomb County is $991.

Roseville resident Carol Hofer wondered if people who own large homes would be willing to rent out a room in their house to someone looking for housing. She said she is “floored” at how expensive things are.

“Everything has gone up so much, not only the food, but the rent, clothes, I mean, almost anything you buy,” Hofer said.

The discussions in Roseville were part of the Macomb County community and housing needs assessment, a first-of-its-kind assessment that county officials hope will be a resource for local officials and will encourage developers to build more affordable housing. Consulting engineering firm Spalding DeDecker Associates and Macomb County Health and Community Services ran community engagement sessions this spring and summer. They also created a survey that recently closed.

The county can’t fund housing projects, said County Executive Mark Hackel, “but we certainly can help understand the dynamics throughout the county, within each community and try to figure out what we can do to help them.”

The assessment will capture residents’ responses and produce data. Macomb County plans to present the data to stakeholders and community members this fall, said Andrew Cox, the director of the county’s Health and Community Services.

Cox said the vacancy rate for houses in Macomb County is below 5%, a drop from 6.5% two years ago.

Although a 1.5 percentage point decline “might not seem like a lot, it really starts to add up when you’re talking about housing units that are available,” he said.

He also noted that the population is aging in Macomb County. People are staying in their homes longer and aging in place, which his agency supports.

“But with that comes the challenge of available housing, you know?” Cox said. “And so … we need to build more units. We need to develop more units.”

He said he hopes the assessment drives developers and builders to build more housing units “to make things affordable.”

For example, the assessment might tell a community that people are looking for condos and apartments there, Cox said. The municipality can then attract “the right type of builders and developers” for those housing types, he said.

“Because the last thing you want to do is invest in housing stock, and it’s not utilized by the community looking to move to your community,” Cox said.

The assessment will also look at zoning best practices. Zoning restrictions sometimes are “a huge roadblock” for communities when it comes to housing, Cox said. A developer may want to build multiunit housing in a location, but it’s not allowed under the zoning rules, he said.

“And then going through the process to change that can be very cumbersome, and by that time, you might lose that developer,” Cox said.

But Rochester Hills resident Marsh said, “We have zoning for a reason.”

“We do need zoning,” he said, adding that “we do need to have a process.”

Marsh was one of several Rochester Hills residents who opposed a proposed apartment complex at a planning commission meeting in May. Some raised concerns about the project’s potential impact on a wetland, along with traffic worries. The commission ultimately approved the site plan, tree removal permit, natural features setback modification and wetland use permit recommendation for the project. The Rochester Hills City Council later approved the wetland use permit.

Marsh said building on wetlands is “good for no one.”

Oakland County creates trust fund

In Oakland County, officials grapple with the fact that it’s a high-income county in which to live, said Walker-Fobbs, the county’s neighborhood and housing development officer.

“So for people to be able to live and work and afford it, we know that we have to make investments in affordable housing,” she said.

The Oakland Together Housing Trust Fund was officially launched in September 2023 to help encourage developers to build affordable housing. It has since helped to develop more than 700 units of affordable, accessible housing, county officials said.

The Oakland County Board of Commissioners injected $18 million in American Rescue Plan Act funds into the trust fund and an annual county appropriation of $2 million, according to the county.

Developers and other entities can apply for a revolving loan from the trust fund. They get a long period of time to pay back the loan, such as 20 or 25 years.

Walker-Fobbs said housing trust funds are not a new idea, but Oakland County’s is unique because it was created at the county level.

“But I think in general, being able to have a housing-specific fund that’s focused on closing the gap and supporting projects that benefit the community and residents is a good model,” she said, “and it’s something that will help solve the housing shortage that we’re seeing nationally.”

In one project, a developer is renovating a historic, multifamily development in Pontiac that has been vacant for many years with the help of a $3 million trust fund loan, Walker-Fobbs said.

“This developer did not have the $3 million of funding needed to finalize and get across the finish line to make this happen, because of the cost of abatement,” she said.

But not everyone supports the county’s new trust fund.

Marsh, the Rochester Hills resident, doesn’t think developers should be getting low-interest or long-term loans from the government.

“They’re getting richer and they’re able to make money on our money,” he said. “I’m not against affordable housing, but … a developer should be someone who has financial backing. It shouldn’t be coming from the people.”

But Walker-Fobbs said the “gap financing” helps give developers an incentive to set aside a portion of the units in a development for people at certain income levels. She said those levels can include the salaries of schoolteachers, nurses and paramedics.

“If you want your schoolteacher living in your neighborhood, there has to be units that they can afford their rent on,” Walker-Fobbs said, “and so our gap financing is helping to provide assistance so that they can keep those rents at that rate, but still … be able to complete the construction or the rehab on that project.”

The trust fund also provided funding to a “neuro-inclusive” neighborhood in Rochester Hills, which will be comprised of adults with developmental disabilities and other adults.

Wayne County eyes affordable housing

Wayne County spokesperson Doda Lulgjuraj said the county will soon be requesting bids for projects in Wayne County to provide affordable housing opportunities. He said the county hopes it will receive proposals that are eligible for federal funds and “in a place of readiness” so it can support them with funding.

“We are open to reviewing a range of ideas, including renovation, new construction, mixed income with affordable, mixed-use with affordable units, and supportive housing,” Lulgjuraj said.

The Wayne County Land Bank is spending approximately $1 million on renovating 10 homes in Dearborn, Harper Woods, Huron Township, River Rouge and Romulus, he added.

The county has also provided funding for affordable housing projects, including $3 million for one at The Village of Westland. The project, which is in pre-development, will construct 35 new homes and renovate 101 existing apartments for seniors.

The county also plans to conduct a housing market study to better understand housing needs. And the Wayne County Housing Commission will embark on a 2026 Countywide Housing Plan that will provide a vision and a strategy to address housing needs across the county, Lulgjuraj said.

Wayne County is facing a “recognized shortage” of affordable housing, he said.

“Supply is below demand, and new construction and rehabilitation have only partially alleviated the gap,” Lulgjuraj said. “Increased cost in construction has also contributed to the shortage.”

Trump’s latest anti-DEI initiative has Michigan college access advocates worried

By Sarah Atwood, MediaNews Group

Programs at Michigan universities that aim to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds gain access to higher education are at risk under new rules from the U.S. Department of Justice that have rankled university administrators.

In a July 29 memo, Attorney General Pam Bondi said that although the federal government in the past has “turned a blind eye toward, or even encouraged, various discriminatory practices,” this would no longer be tolerated for recipients of federal funds, including the University of Michigan, Michigan State University and other public schools in the state.

The guidelines from President Donald Trump’s administration seek to end practices that it considers discrimination or segregation. For instance, it prohibits universities from geographic targeting if it is or could be perceived to be based on the race or sex of students in that area, such as Detroit, or requiring diversity training if it stereotypes a person.

Michigan State Sen. Jim Runestad, R-White Lake Township, called the memo a “breath of fresh air.”

“(The memo) is one of the best things I’ve seen in my entire life since I’ve learned about the horrific racial discrimination happening on our campuses,” he said.

The DOJ memo also claims that any perception of segregation, like a “BIPOC study lounge,” would violate the law, even if it was open to all students. BIPOC is an acronym for Black, Indigenous and People of Color.

The guidance doesn’t change federal law; instead, it shows what the federal government’s enforcement priorities are, said Armand Alacbay, chief of staff and senior vice president of strategy for the nonpartisan American Council of Trustees and Alumni, a Washington, D.C.-based higher education advocacy group. The memo also provides guidelines for those who want to challenge university practices they believe could be discriminatory or promote segregation.

“This is the clearest articulation I’ve seen yet of the administration’s legal approach to DEI, to race-conscious programs, however you want to describe them,” Alacbay said. “I think it’s a good roadmap for how (university and college) boards should approach these issues as a business decision.”

But the memo raised concerns among other higher education advocates, who say the guidelines attached to federal funding for public universities directly target students of color and other students who have been historically disadvantaged in accessing higher education.

Cyekia Lee, executive director of the Detroit College Access Network, said the Trump administration’s directive is already impacting Detroit students. She’s expecting fewer events this fall where colleges and universities meet with prospective students from Detroit.

“As we look at September, October, in admissions season, we are already preparing to see less folks coming out to recruit students from Detroit,” she said. “And so we’re thinking about the pathway of how we connect students from Detroit to those admissions officers, because if (recruiters) can’t go to a Black student event, or another protected class, and you could in the past, there’s just no way to reach those students.”

Ryan Fewins-Bliss, director of the Michigan College Access Network, said he worries that institutions “overcorrecting” and rolling back programs meant to serve specific groups of students will result in fewer students, especially students of color, attending college.

“Historically, higher education was designed for the upper echelons of society,” he said. “And at that time, it was White men … Institutions were built on that premise, and we know that once you put those ingredients into a system, it’s really hard to get them out … So, these programs that colleges have created have been created to help fix those historical problems that were created.”

“(Without this) we’re going to have fewer folks in college who are Black and Brown,” he said. “And this means we have fewer people who are earning a living wage and entering the workforce who are Black and Brown.”

What the memo says

Delta College President Mike Gavin, who also heads a coalition of community colleges called Education for All that helps higher education institutions navigate the “complex challenges of today’s polarized landscape,” said he felt the memo wasn’t reflecting reality and could be used to scare those who didn’t know what was actually going on at universities and colleges.

“It basically claims, for instance, that certain groups, like certain races, get unlawful preferential treatment in things like hiring,” he said. “That’s never been the case … There’s a lot of claims that are made, I think, in order to have the public believe things are happening that are not happening.”

The memo targets particular practices that are unlawful, like giving an unfair advantage to people in a certain protected class, specifically race and sex. However, the memo goes further, stating that proxies that could be perceived as giving one protected class an advantage could also be considered a breach of the law.

“Before implementing facially neutral criteria, rigorously evaluate and document whether they are proxies for race, sex, or other protected characteristics,” the memo said. “For instance, a program targeting ‘low-income students’ must be applied uniformly without targeting areas or populations to achieve racial or sex-based outcomes.”

Runestad said he was in favor of “proxies” being re-examined so colleges and universities could not use them to unfairly advantage one group over another.

“These proxies like by where you live and cultural experiences have filled in for racial discrimination,” he said.

The memo also says that on-campus spaces, like study lounges, reserved for students of a protected class are unlawful, even if the space was open to all.

“A college receiving federal funds designates a ‘BIPOC-only study lounge,’ facially discouraging access by students of other races,” the memo said, citing an example of an unlawful practice. “Even if access is technically open to all, the identity-based focus creates a perception of segregation and may foster a hostile environment.”

The memo also asks that if an institution receiving federal funding wanted to use criteria in hiring, promotions, or selecting contracts that might correlate with protected characteristics, it must document “clear, legitimate rationales” that aren’t related to protected characteristics.

“If you have a program that is creating a ‘perception’ of segregation, is that segregation?” Alacbay said. “Even if it’s technically open to all, I mean, that’s a good legal question, quite frankly. If something looks and sounds like segregation, is it really just segregation? Those are the questions I think this memo is trying to get at.”

Runestad said he hopes legal challenges are brought to ask these questions.

“Yes, I would like to see challenges against some of the practices,” he said. “So then, a precedent would be set and the guidance could be codified into law.”

What happens at colleges and universities

Even before colleges and universities implemented “Diversity, Equity and Inclusion” practices, many offered multicultural centers, clubs for students of specific affinity groups or tried to reach disadvantaged students through targeted recruiting or scholarships.

And many of the practices implemented benefited all students, rather than just a certain group, Gavin said.

At Delta College’s campus southwest of Bay City, targeted programs and services have increased enrollment and completion rates of Black and Hispanic students by about 20%, Gavin said.

But it wasn’t just those groups who saw improvement when the college focused efforts on them. College-wide completion rates also rose about 10%, Gavin said.

“We’ve increased food assistance, transportation, mental health … and that’s for everybody,” he said. “It happens to benefit some of the people who don’t have these things, which more often is the Pell Grant students, the African American students, the Hispanic students … but it really improves the experience for everyone.”

Most colleges and universities in Michigan have a center or lounge dedicated to celebrating their multicultural students. MSU opened its Multicultural Center this year after decades of students, staff and community members calling for it. The space hosts several rooms specifically for students of certain campus groups, but the space and affinity student organization events are open to all.

UM’s William Trotter Multicultural Center and campus affinity groups operate similarly. An event for QTBIPOC (Queer, Trans, Black, indigenous, People of Color) is advertised on the center’s website, but it states it is open to all.

Despite these efforts, fewer students of color still enroll in and graduate from college than White students, Fewins-Bliss said. Communities of color are still, on average, poorer.

And although as long as there’s “legitimate rationale” for programs and practices that the guidance mentions, Fewins-Bliss said, it’s not certain higher education leaders would put the time and effort into this.

Fewins-Bliss said it wouldn’t surprise him if university leaders decided to roll back the legal programs, services and spaces they’ve had for years.

“If I’m a college president, do I roll the dice and say, ‘Here’s the 50 pages of rationale we’ve come up with for all of the things?’ Or, is it safer to just get rid of it?”

How schools might sidestep the guidelines

But the Trump administration is not targeting all programs that help disadvantaged students get into and succeed in college, such as initiatives that boost students who are the first in their families to attend college.

For students like Brandon Owens, who was able to learn about and gain skills for college through Oakland University’s Project Upward Bound College Prep Academy, programs like these are life-changing.

The program — part of a federal initiative to expand higher education for disadvantaged students like lower-income students, first-generation students, and students with disabilities — allowed him to experience college and convinced him it was a possibility.

“College was always something that was in the back of my mind,” the 20-year-old journalism student said. “I never thought it would be realistic for me at all … (Oakland University) gave me the opportunity to go to college and do what I want to do.”

That specific program and others OU participates in, like their first-generation orientation and college kickoff program that took place last week, likely won’t be targeted under the Trump administration’s crackdown because of the racial diversity of students it covers.

But college access advocates warn that other programs, like those taking place in majority-minority cities like Detroit, might get scrutinized.

All of the state’s colleges and universities have some presence in Detroit, Lee said, whether that be specific scholarships or recruiting efforts that take place within the city or on campuses for Detroit students.

But nearly 80% of students at Detroit Public Schools Community District are Black, enrollment data available on MISchoolData shows. By default, colleges and universities that want Detroit students to attend their schools are likely to increase their number of students of color.

Alacbay said schools can still seek out and support students like those in Detroit, as long as it is clear they are not favoring a group of students based on their race.

“You’d have to lean heavily into the socioeconomic part of it, right?” he said. “But schools can still use the neutral factors as long as they’re not used with the intent of meeting racial ends.”

But the reality is, Lee said, Black students are still often the only ones in the room in certain majors and academic programs. This is an isolating experience for students who might be away from home for the first time and are still trying to figure out who they are.

“These spaces, these lounges, are so important because that is a safe space, that is a brave space to go into and say, ‘Hey, here’s what’s going on,’ or ‘Here’s what I’m struggling with,’ and you can connect with like-minded folks … If I have a group of people on this campus that look like me, that understand me, know that the local store might not have the products I need for my hair or my skin or whatever, I can lift that up there, we can discuss it …,” said Lee, head of the the Detroit College Access Network.

“People need to have an outlet and a group of support,” Lee added.

Michigan develops website to help people prepare for, stay safe from wildfire smoke

By Carol Thompson, MediaNews Group

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy launched an online resource to help state residents understand, prepare for and deal with wildfire smoke.

Smoke from Canadian wildfires has blanketed Michigan this summer, prompting state air quality meteorologists to issue a warning on 31 days for at least part of Michigan. In 2023, there were fewer warnings issued but the concentrations of smoke were higher.

The state’s new webpage, Michigan.gov/EGLEWildfireSmoke, includes links to the MiAir tool that shows air quality readings at state air monitors, a signup page for the state’s air quality notification system and answers to common wildfire questions.

Exposure to wildfire smoke is dangerous for people’s health. The smoke is made of very small particles, some of which can get into people’s lungs and bloodstreams.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said particulate matter exposure can cause coughing, difficulty breathing, irregular heartbeats, asthma attacks and more. University of Michigan researchers also linked wildfire smoke exposure to dementia.

Children, adults over 60 and people with lung or heart disease are most at risk of exposure. Pregnancy and working outdoors also increases risk.

While people can’t control wildfire smoke that drifts into their communities, they can take steps to protect themselves from exposure, EGLE said.

For instance, people can try to stay indoors when wildfire smoke is present, or can wear an N-95 mask while outdoors to avoid inhaling the pollutant. They can avoid exercising outdoors when air quality is bad.

To keep indoor air safe, they can use window air conditioning units on the “recirculate” setting or run forced air systems on “fan” or “cooling” settings, EGLE said.

People also can limit outdoor activities like campfires or running gas-powered vehicles or limit the indoor use of gas-powered appliances to limit exposure to particle pollution, EGLE said.

Climate scientists say Canadian wildfires will continue as humans continue to use fossil fuels that release greenhouse gases and warm the atmosphere. Climate change causes hotter, dryer conditions that make wildfires more likely.

Good wildfire management can help, but it’s expensive and difficult in the remote regions of northern Canada.

EGLE has three meteorologists who develop air quality forecasts for particulate matter pollution and ozone pollution, EGLE said in a press release about its new website. They use weather models to make their predictions and share their forecasts with the National Weather Service and news media.

They categorize air quality as good, unhealthy for sensitive groups, unhealthy, very unhealthy or hazardous. They issue advisories when forecasts say air quality will be unhealthy for sensitive groups. They issue warnings when they predict it will be worse.

How Trump’s policies are helping, hurting Dodge

By Luke Ramseth, MediaNews Group

Under President Donald Trump, Dodge is turning back the clock on its muscle car lineup.

Instead of phasing out the final gas-guzzling Hemi V-8 engines still available on Durango SUVs this year, it’ll make them standard for 2026 — even on the entry-level GT trim. It’s soon launching potent six-cylinder Charger coupes and sedans amid rumors of a V-8 also under development for that model, which currently is available only with an electric powertrain.

The Stellantis NV brand, as it pivots hard back toward its big-engine, muscle-car roots, can thank the Trump administration and a GOP Congress: they have rushed to end automaker fuel economy fines and gut emissions rules that were meant to combat climate change and improve air quality.

Everything changed fairly suddenly for Dodge after the Republican president took office, CEO Matt McAlear said in an interview last week, and “that allowed us to go back to the drawing board and figure out, what is the next step? How do we give performance back to our customers?”

Yet Dodge, like other brands, has simultaneously been stung by Trump and his aggressive trade policies. Due to higher tariffs, the company has indefinitely postponed production of the Italian-made Hornet — a small crossover that the brand had hoped would finally start gaining sales traction with a reduced starting price after its debut in 2023.

“If the tariffs don’t change,” McAlear said, “then there won’t be a ‘26 model year.”

End of Hornet?

The brand pushed to import remaining 2025 Hornets before 27.5% auto tariffs on European imports kicked in this spring, he said, and 2026 production at the plant in Naples is on hold. There are fewer than 3,000 Hornets remaining on U.S. dealer lots, and he expects they will be sold down before the end of the year.

The CEO said Dodge had been plotting to grow sales of the Hornet just before tariffs kicked in, including by repositioning its starting price to roughly $30,000.

Now, dealers and analysts say they expect it’s probably the end of the line for the sporty crossover, which comes in both gas and plug-in hybrid iterations and is a cousin of the Alfa Romeo Tonale. Hornet had initially been pitched as a performance-oriented alternative that would find its niche in the popular compact SUV market.

Dodge spokesperson Kristin Starnes said a recent U.S. deal with the European Union to lower tariffs to 15%, including on cars, hasn’t changed Dodge’s calculation on postponing Hornet production.

“It’s a beautiful vehicle, but I don’t know how the constraints with tariffs will ever make it viable for the American market,” said Mike Bettenhausen, a Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep and Ram retailer in suburban Chicago who heads the automaker’s national dealer council.

Losing the Hornet would take away one-third of Dodge’s current model lineup. Last year, Dodge sold more than 20,500 of them, but sales fell sharply in the first half of this year.

Dealers said they won’t be overly disappointed if the crossover does come to an end, despite its place in the highly popular compact SUV segment. It’s faced frequent quality issues that have led to customer frustrations, recalls for issues with brake pedals and the rearview camera display, and a price point that retailers said was far too high. Some were forced to deeply discount their Hornets to drum up customer interest, ultimately losing money on a number of transactions.

“The Italians trying to sell Italian vehicles in the United States has just been a big miss, man,” said Jim Walen, who sells Dodge, Jeep and other Stellantis brands in Seattle. “The market doesn’t want those.”

Dodge also faces elevated tariffs on its Charger Daytona EV and the forthcoming gas-powered Sixpack, produced at the Windsor Assembly Plant in Canada, but McAlear indicated no coming production changes there. The brand did earlier this year discontinue the entry-level Charger Daytona R/T, which is made at the plant, amid tariffs and slow sales that had led to significant discounting.

“They’ve been terrific in bringing the battery-electric technology (for Charger) and now they’re shifting over to the Sixpack technology, and we’re ramping that up quick,” McAlear said of the plant, adding that all the variants of the Charger will be in production in Windsor by the second quarter of 2026.

Hemis galore

Dodge is pushing more Hemi V-8s into its Detroit-made Durango lineup, which is less impacted by tariffs than its other offerings, except on imported parts.

A 5.7-liter V-8 will even be available on the base GT trim, starting at under $45,000, including destination charge. The R/T trim will now come with a more powerful 392 Hemi V-8, meanwhile, which delivers 475 horsepower.

And after its expected demise in recent years due to tightening federal emissions regulations, the top-end SRT Hellcat will live on, offering a 6.2-liter Hemi V-8 with 710 horsepower, a 0-60 time of 3.5 seconds — and an estimated combined fuel economy of just 13 miles per gallon.

The last time the Durango got a full overhaul was 15 years ago; McAlear wouldn’t say when the next generation is coming. But the three-row SUV remains a fairly popular and profitable offering for the company in recent years. Sales of more than 34,000 in the first half of 2025 were up 4% from last year.

Sam Abuelsamid, vice president of market research at auto communications firm Telemetry, said it’s “only a matter of time” before Dodge announces a Hemi V-8 is also coming for the redesigned Charger. (When asked about the possibility, McAlear said there is “nothing that we’ve announced yet.”)

Dodge released the battery-powered version of the Charger at the start of the year, but it hasn’t resonated with the Dodge muscle car faithful, the analyst said, even with a system that pumps out sounds similar to a real V-8 engine. The company sold just 4,299 of them in the first half.

“A lot of that core audience doesn’t even care if the EV is any good, what kind of sounds it makes,” Abuelsamid said. “They’re just not even interested in looking at it.”

Dodge’s plan now to push out more high-powered gas engines should help win back some of its core customers turned off by the Charger EV, he said.

Kevin Farrish, a Stellantis dealer from Virginia, said it’s exciting for him and other retailers that the “muscle is coming back” after the last generation of the popular Charger and Challenger gas-powered models ended production in 2023. He’s confident four-door versions of the new gas-powered Charger will sell especially well. And Durango’s new Hemi offerings are a key selling point for Dodge customers who often come into the showroom looking for high performance.

“Putting a Hemi in it raises the price,” Farrish said. “But the enthusiast who wants that is willing to pay for it.”

As Dream Cruise revs up, Bouchard warns against drone use, urges caution

By Owen McCarthy, MediaNews Group

Oakland County Sheriff Michael Bouchard is cautioning against unsafe usage of drones by hobbyists at this weekend’s Woodward Dream Cruise, following “issues” law enforcement have seen with them in recent years.

Speaking at a press conference Thursday afternoon at the Sheriff’s Office in Pontiac, Bouchard said that though using drones to record videos of the Dream Cruise is a “fun hobby” for many, they can pose safety risks.

As such, Bouchard urged people to adhere to federal laws mandating drones are flown at no higher than 400 feet. At last year’s Dream Cruise, he said some drones were flying as high as 1,500 feet.

“Everything you can imagine will be out there,” Bouchard said. “Cameras, drones, helicopters, dogs, cars, motorcycles, horses, bikes, pedestrian controls.”

Thousands are expected to descend on Oakland County over the next few days for the Dream Cruise, an annual summer showcase of vintage cars. Billed as the largest one-day automotive event in North America, Saturday marks its 30th anniversary.

Bouchard also reiterated federal laws requiring that drones remain in the operator’s line of sight and that they aren’t flown over large crowds. Bouchard recommended people fly drones over buildings lining the Dream Cruise route, so that if it malfunctions, it falls on a roof rather than people.

Though it’s not a legal requirement, Bouchard requested that people fly drones around 200 feet, so as to avoid interfering with the law enforcement’s drones, used to monitor crowds and maintain “situational awareness” along the 20-mile Dream Cruise route.

One new approach law enforcement will be taking this year is the creation of a “multi-agency” center that will be based in Royal Oak during the cruise. Bouchard said the different agencies involved have always had “great communication,” but “not necessarily all in the same spot.”

The center will allow the communication to be “seamless,” he said.

Though the event can be a “challenge to police” because it includes nine Oakland County communities, Bouchard said law enforcement is prepared because of better coordination among agencies and the fact that police have been handling the event now for 30 years.

“It’s like a ballet,” he said, adding that some law enforcement stay posted at intersections along Woodward to clear the way for emergency vehicles in the event they need to cross the busy road.

For spectators, Bouchard urged people to limit alcohol consumption, and for participants to refrain from doing burnouts.

Many years ago, Bouchard said a driver at the Dream Cruise was tempted to do a burnout by spectators. The driver erred, lost control to the left, “hit the curb and flipped.” If the car lost control to the right, “people would have died.”

“This is not a place to show off your car’s capabilities,” he said. “It’s a place to show off how pretty it is, and how much work you put into it, and have a fun day.”

Birmingham insurance adviser faces trial on fraud charges

By Max Reinhart, MediaNews Group

A Birmingham man accused of insurance fraud has been bound over to stand trial, Michigan Attorney General Dana Nessel announced Tuesday.

Todd Bernstein, 67, waived his preliminary examination and will be tried in the 6th Circuit Court in Pontiac, Nessel said.

He is accused of “submitting misleading information on annuity suitability applications on behalf of his clients, who were over 65, to conceal that new annuities were being purchased with proceeds from early surrendered annuities.”

In July, Nessel filed four counts of insurance fraud against Bernstein. Each is punishable by up to four years in prison, if he’s convicted.

“Consumers must be able to trust financial professionals to act truthfully and in their best interests,” Nessel said when he was arraigned.

His next court date has not yet been scheduled.

Nessel urged Michiganians who suspect fraud to report it on the state’s website, or by calling the Department of Insurance and Financial Services at (877) 999-6442 from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.©2025 The Detroit News. Visit detroitnews.com. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Troy police probe theft of nonprofit’s riding wheelchairs

By Aya Fayad, MediaNews Group

Troy police are seeking tips following a theft of almost $60,000 in specialized riding wheelchairs from a Metro Detroit nonprofit.

Sometime over the weekend, a trailer with nine wheelchairs inside was stolen from The Agape Project, said Sgt. John Julian of the Troy Police Department. Each wheelchair is valued at about $6,500.

The department does not know the exact time of the theft, but the trailer was last seen on Friday and organizers discovered it was missing Monday morning, Julian said.

The group, which is based in Oakland and Macomb counties, hosts racing events for individuals with disabilities several times throughout the year. The trailer was stolen in the area of Livernois and Square Lake Road in Troy, jeopardizing their upcoming event in jeopardy, according to a Facebook post by secretary Kim Duda.

The Agape Project did not immediately respond to requests for comment Tuesday.

In her post, Duda said that relatives had just participated in the Sterling Fast race, held in Sterling Heights, weeks ago and planned to participate in the Atwater Growler Gallop in September. If the chairs cannot be recovered, the 2025 race season will need to be suspended, she said.

The investigation is still in its preliminary stages and the Troy Police Department is asking anyone with information to come forward, Julian said. The department hopes to find who is responsible and get the equipment back.

Those who have information on the incident are asked to contact Troy Police Department officials at (248) 524-0777.
