Only 50 days left until fall officially arrives in Michigan — and while summer heat still lingers, cooler temps, changing leaves, and cider mill season are just around the corner 🎃

While most people associate fall with chilly air and shorter days, science shows it might actually boost your mood — not bring it down. Studies have found that the cooler temperatures and lower humidity in autumn can improve sleep quality, reduce anxiety, and even enhance brain function. The scent of fall — think wet leaves, apples, and wood smoke — can also trigger nostalgic memories, releasing dopamine and creating a sense of calm. In fact, “autumn nostalgia” is so common, researchers have studied how people feel more reflective and creatively inspired during this season.

And here’s something even more unexpected: squirrels in Michigan become “accidental gardeners” in the fall. As they frantically bury nuts and forget where they put them, they help plant thousands of new trees each year. It’s estimated that a single squirrel can bury hundreds of nuts in a season — and thanks to their poor memory, many of them sprout into future forests.

NEW: As cities across Michigan crack down on reckless driving and street racing, Dearborn officials are reportedly exploring the possibility of auctioning off seized vehicles—similar to a high-profile case in Flint where three Dodge Chargers were forfeited and are now headed to be sold at auction.

The consideration comes as Dearborn police continue to respond to dangerous driving behavior involving high-performance vehicles. In recent weeks, several drivers have been cited and their vehicles impounded after being caught on camera doing burnouts and street racing through residential neighborhoods and main roads.

Flint’s recent decision to seize and auction three Dodge Chargers involved in illegal driving has caught the attention of departments statewide. In that case, the vehicles were forfeited after being filmed doing donuts and damaging private property. Flint city leaders said the move was intended to send a strong message to those treating city streets as racetracks.

While Dearborn has not formally announced plans to auction any seized vehicles, sources familiar with the discussions say the city is evaluating whether a similar approach could be implemented locally. The city has previously held public auctions for impounded or abandoned vehicles, but has not yet used the process as a direct penalty for street racing.

Legal experts note that Michigan law does allow for vehicle forfeiture in certain cases involving crimes or public safety violations. If implemented, the policy could require court approval and follow specific legal procedures before any auction takes place.

RECALL: A voluntary recall has been issued after some cans labeled as Celsius Astro Vibe Sparkling Blue Razz energy drink were accidentally filled with High Noon vodka seltzer, posing a risk of unintentional alcohol ingestion in Michigan and seven other states.

DTE Energy is stepping up to help families across Michigan struggling to stay cool during the extreme summer heat.

The company announced an $800,000 donation to the United Way for Southeastern Michigan to support low-income customers who can’t afford their energy bills. The funds will help the elderly, unemployed, underemployed, and people with disabilities who have already qualified for energy assistance this year.

According to United Way, the need for support has increased 72% from the last program year, creating a funding gap.

While new state funding for energy assistance is set to begin October 1, DTE’s donation will help cover the needs of families who can’t wait that long.

“Many Michigan families face genuine financial hardships and are struggling to pay their bills. This donation will help us support Michiganders accessing the help they need to pay their energy bills,” said Jeff Miles, Vice President of Community Impact, United Way for Southeastern Michigan.
“While MEAP recently expanded assistance amounts and eligibility requirements, this donation helps address current gaps and keep families enrolled now.”

More than 5,000 people were enrolled in the Low-Income Self-Sufficiency Plan during the 2024–2025 program year, and this donation is expected to support around 6,400 customers.

The main beach at Camp Dearborn has been temporarily closed after high levels of E. coli were detected in the water, officials announced Wednesday.

A 13-year-old girl was shot and killed Tuesday afternoon at the Ridgeline Apartments near Joy Road and Honeytree Blvd in Canton, and sources say her 21-year-old brother is responsible as this could be an accidental shooting.

Officers were called to the apartment complex earlier in the day for a report of a shooting. When they arrived, they found the teenage girl with life-threatening injuries. She was rushed to the hospital but did not survive.

Investigators later confirmed that the girl’s older brother was the one who fired the fatal shot. He is currently in custody as a person of interest, and police say they are not looking for additional suspects.

“There is no immediate threat of danger to the community,” the Canton Police Department said in a statement.

The names of those involved have not been released as the investigation remains ongoing. Authorities have not said what led up to the shooting or whether any charges have been filed at this time
