Local leaders share top goals for 2026
Officials strive to get ‘back to basics’ with historic preservation master plan

To kick off 2026, each municipality in the Eagle’s coverage area has shared its goals for the new year.

Village Manager Warren Rothe said the biggest project that the village is working on is construction of the Transportation Alternatives Program Grant sidewalk project. Rothe said there will be over 3 miles of sidewalk, a bridge component and boardwalks along the route. “Just like Safe Routes has connected neighborhoods in new ways, I think this one’s going to be really good for getting people to different parts of the village and benefit the kids who are walking to school,” Rothe said. Previously, the village had a timeline that stated that construction would begin in July or August of 2025. However, that did not happen, and they now expect construction to begin in spring of 2026. “As soon as the construction season starts, we will be up and running,” Rothe said. See GOALS on page 16A

Birmingham has been working on a historic preservation master plan.
BIRMINGHAM — When the city of Birmingham sent out a survey in 2024 that asked residents if they believe historic preservation is a worthwhile goal, 94% of the 201 respondents said “yes.” This public response echoes the ongoing efforts of Birmingham Planning Director Nicholas Dupuis and the Historic District Commission, Dupuis said. Though the city has been working on historic preservation since the 1970s, there has never been a historic preservation master plan. In hopes of building a strong culture of historic preservation in Birmingham, the city has been working on a historic preservation master plan. The survey they sent out in 2024 See PRESERVATION on page 21A

Ongoing projects in Birmingham carry over into 2026 YMCA PLANS, PLAYGROUND UPGRADES STILL IN THE WORKS BY MARY GENSON mgenson@candgenews.com
BIRMINGHAM — The Eagle covered a variety of communitycentered stories in 2025 that featured local voices. Here are some updates to a couple of the stories from last year.
Playground improvements
Oakland County Parks and Rec keeps a full schedule in winter months BY SCOTT BENTLEY sbentley@candgnews.com
“We’re continuing on throughout the city with playground improvements,” Parks and Recreation Manager Carie Laird said. In May 2025, the Eagle spoke with Laird about updates to Pumphouse Park and West Lincoln Well Park. These were both opened and installed in November 2025. The next playground to be updated is Poppleton Park, which will be a fully inclusive playground. The Eagle covered the upcoming improvements for Poppleton Park in August 2025. Plans were approved by the City Commission in November. Laird said the improvements are expected to come in this spring or in the early summer months. Poppleton Park will feature wheelchair accessible equipment and a solid-surface ground to make it possible for wheelchairs to use. The
OAKLAND COUNTY — The holiday season is over, but Oakland County Parks and Recreation is still offering a full schedule of events and activities for metro Detroiters this winter. Not only are there a handful of planned events for residents to attend over the next two months, there are also parks, lakes and trails that are open for anyone to enjoy. “I’m a parks and rec nerd. I love being out here,” Parks Supervisor Jeremy Brown said. “I love the fact that we’re able to provide these recreational opportunities for people.” The budget for West Lincoln Well Park playground was approximately $225,000 and the budget for the Pumphouse Park playground was approximately $153,500. Brown is a certified parks and recreation professional and is the supervisor of Independence Oaks County Park and Orion Oaks County Park. There are sledding hills, hiking trails, ice fishing spots, snowshoeing trails and cross country skiing trails all locally available. “At Independence Oaks we have groomed cross-country skiing trails — 10 miles’ worth,” Brown said.

FALCON DEBATERS SEE SUCCESS
BIRMINGHAM — The debate team at Groves High School celebrated a successful season led by coaches John Lawson and Ryan Nierman. Superintendent Embekka Roberson congratulated them in a press release. “Our Groves debaters have distinguished themselves in competition while building critical thinking and communication skills that will serve them well beyond high school.” “Debate teaches critical thinking skills, requires students to think on their feet and adapt to situations, and helps prepare students for the in-demand jobs of tomorrow,” said Lawson in a press release. “I am so proud of this year’s debaters who have worked so hard and been rewarded with win after win on the competition stage.”

BIRMINGHAM — The summer before her junior year of high school, Seaholm High School student Tessa Shane had stopped doing sports and was looking for something she could do to get involved with the community, outside of school. In her search, Shane found Hoodies for the Homeless, a nonprofit organization in New Jersey that collects hoodies for local shelters. She ended up starting a local chapter of Hoodies for the Homeless, and in October of 2024, she started her first donation drive. Shane’s efforts in collecting donations were proving to be successful, inspiring her to expand. She decided to start her own nonprofit, The Donation Closet, in the summer of 2025. “I recognized pretty quickly that I needed to come up with a way to organize and display all the donations I was getting, because so many were being dropped off to my house,” Shane said. “So, I cleaned out my basement and set up racks and shelving I found on Facebook, and then I built a store in my own basement where I keep all my inventory of all the donations that are being dropped off.” Since Oct. 2024, she has collected over 9,000 pieces of new and gently used clothing for men, women and children; managed 18 large-scale donation collections for other organizations; and helped 17 families in Michigan and Los Angeles. One of the organizations Shane worked with is Orchards Children’s Services. “It has been amazing working with Tessa,” Victoria Orleans, the group’s donor relations/ volunteer coordinator, said via email. “Our clients have been so blessed by the generosity of others, and it has truly made a difference.” In addition to finding a passion for philanthropy and having the opportunity to help local families in need, Shane said she has experienced personal growth throughout this journey. Notably, she has been able to gain skills in talking on the phone professionally. “Having watched her projects and her initiative grow from this initial idea to The Donation Closet has been really inspiring,” Katie Parker, Seaholm’s community school organizer, said. Parker emphasized the adaptability and resilience that Shane demonstrated as she expanded her reach through the nonprofit.

approved budget is approx $1.7 million. In December 2025, the city put out a survey on Engage Birmingham to receive feedback from residents about concept designs for Pembroke Park. The approved budget for this playground is approximately $600,000 at this time. “At the February parks and rec board meeting, an updated draft plan based on the feedback received so far will be presented to the parks and rec board,” Laird said. Ultimately, it will go to the City Commission for a decision. In the next fiscal year, the city plans to continue working on playground updates. Up next are Crestview Park, Howarth Park, Kenning Park and St. James Park.
400 E. Lincoln property updates
In August 2025, the Eagle covered plans for 400 E. Lincoln property. At the time, a motion for a $36,640,000 bond proposal for the Birmingham community and senior center failed at a Birmingham City Commission meeting. City Manager Jana Ecker provided an update on this community topic. To provide background, she clarified what she said is the misconception that the city is “kicking the YMCA out.” She said the city did not do that, and the decision to sell the property was made by the YMCA in 2023. The city purchased the land and has a memorandum of understanding to put Next Senior Services into that building. However, when leadership changed, the YMCA made another effort to keep a

presence in Birmingham. Ecker said the city spent two and a half years discussing whether there was any way the YMCA and Next Senior Services could be incorporated in the existing building. A study was done on the building, and the commission decided that they wanted to tear down the building and build a new facility that would house both services. “The price tag came in very high after all of the tariffs and so on, and they decided that it was going to be too much money, and so they pivoted,” Ecker said. The YMCA has since decided that it will focus on its Royal Oak location and will expand that one — welcoming all Birmingham YMCA members to the Royal Oak facility. “Now we’re back to using the existing building and we’re studying how we can use it just for Next Senior Services, which, obviously, makes it easier, because if it’s just that one use in there,” Ecker said. This topic will be discussed on January 26, 2026. To see meeting information and updates, visit bhamgov.org.

CRIME
WATCH Fight breaks out in vehicle
BIRMINGHAM — On Jan. 1 at approximately noon, an 18-year-old Birmingham man went to the Police Department to report that another 18-year-old Birmingham man allegedly had punched him in the face and shoulder multiple times while they rode in a vehicle with two other friends earlier that day. The incident occurred around 1 a.m. near North Old Woodward and Oak while the complainant and the other man were riding in the vehicle’s back seat. The complainant reported that the other man began hitting him after becoming upset during a conversation about a woman. The driver and front seat passenger separated the men and dropped the other man off at his home. An investigation is ongoing.
Woman steals alcohol from grocery store
BIRMINGHAM — Officers were dispatched to the 600 block of E. Maple for a report of retail fraud around 4 p.m. Dec. 26. Staff told officers that a suspect was seen walking through the checkout lanes toward the exit while concealing items inside her jacket. As she exited the store, the security alarms activated, and when confronted, the suspect dropped a bottle of alcohol, which did not break, from her jacket. The suspect picked up the bottle and left without paying. The staff member also saw that the suspect had concealed a second bottle of alcohol inside her jacket. An investigation is ongoing.
Path to perfection
Woman arrested after disorderly conduct, trespassing at bar
BIRMINGHAM — Police were called to a bar in the 500 block of South Old Woodward around 7 p.m. Dec. 23 for a report of disorderly conduct. A 52-year-old woman from Chicago said her purse was inside the bar or had been stolen. She appeared heavily intoxicated, was loudly argumentative, and refused to move from the entryway. The bar manager stated the woman and her group had been cut off due to their level of intoxication, but they returned approximately around minutes later looking for the purse. It could not be located, and the woman became loud and irate. She was trespassed from the bar, but despite repeated verbal commands, she continued attempting to enter and failed to comply with officers’ instructions. She was arrested for disorderly conduct and trespassing.
Woman arrested for retail fraud from Target
BLOOMFIELD TOWNSHIP — A woman with three children ranging from an infant to a 6-year-old was seen removing tags from items at the Target at 2400 S. Telegraph Road the afternoon of Dec. 16. She was seen going through the self-checkout, where she scanned some — but not all — items. Officers stopped her as she was leaving the store and identified her as a 24-year old Waterford resident. She had $515 worth of merchandise, including bras, clothing, phone chargers, headphones, backpacks and a blanket. She was placed under arrest for retail fraud, was arraigned in the 48th District Court and was given a $10,000/10% bond. — Mary Genson

One of the most popular programs is the Early Childhood Hour Out program. ECHO takes place at Wint Nature Center every Thursday from 10:30 to 11:30 a.m. and is free for Oakland County residents. “It’s a caregiver-guided activity … with tea, coffee and snacks for the adults,” Blumka said. “It’s for anyone who is caregiving for young children… They get to see other adults while the kids have a good time. I’ve seen as many as 37 people attend that program.” Other activities this winter include Winter Foods for Hungry Lil’ Dudes on Feb. 22 at Wint Nature Center, Ice Age Giants on Jan. 24 at Red Oaks Nature Center, Snowshoes and Stamps on Feb. 21 at Red Oaks Nature Center and Maple (syrup) Magic on Feb. 28 at Red Oaks Nature Center, among many others. Let’s Be a Geologist Minicamp is also open to children on March 7 at Independence Oaks County Park. The county is doing work all year to make sure that the residents in the area have places to go and events to attend even when the weather gets frigid. Using these resources will not only benefit you, but the community as a whole. “There’s a healing aspect to it. I think the more you can get out and feel that, the better off mentally and physically you’re going to be,” Brown said. “All you have to do is come out and look and you’re going to find so many different things to do.” The cost per person for these programs, except ECHO, ranges from $5 to $15 per person. For more information on cost, registration and scheduling, go to oakgov.com.

“We also have a cross-country ski program that’s a two-hour program where somebody can come out and get their skis, poles and boots, and some instruction. Then they use the skis for a couple hours.” Ice fishing has always been a staple in Michigan, but it has become more popular in Oakland County in recent years. There are plenty of lakes where you can ice fish, weather permitting. The lakes contain pike, bass, sunfish, bluegill and more. “Some people may not know it … but we have Upper Bushman Lake and that is the only designated catch-and-release lake in southeastern Michigan,” Brown said. “We bought the property … and the DNR did a creel census and found that the hatchery and size were larger than average. That’s why it’s that way.” One of the many upcoming events planned in the county is Fireworks and Flannels, where residents will run a 5K on Feb. 13 and bundle up to watch fireworks on Feb. 14 at Waterford Oaks County Park. “There will be food trucks, games, activities and they even roll up with a beer tent and music,” Brown said. “It’s cool. They finish it off with a fireworks display.” If you’re looking for activities to do indoors in the winter, Oakland County Parks and Recreation offers plenty of opportunities as well. One of the big draws in the cold months is the nature centers around the county, such as Wint, Red Oaks and Johnson nature centers. “I’m really proud of the schedule that my staff was able to put together, because it does have something for everyone,” said Mary Blumka, recreation program supervisor for nature education at Oakland County Parks. “I think a lot of people think the nature centers are geared towards little kids, and we have tons of stuff for families with young children, but we also offer a series of wellness programs that are geared towards adults.” Wellness in the Woods is one of the more popular adult-centered activities. It usually involves crafts for participants and a chance to relax in nature. Of course, there are still plenty of activities for children and families to attend. Nature at Night is an event that Wint (at Independence Oaks) and Red Oaks nature centers both offer, which allows participants to be guided by a naturalist after the park closes for the evening. There are also monthly programs made for children who are homeschooled, which gives the families a chance to be hands-on with nature.

Michigan Doctor Diagnosed with Late-Stage Cancer After Experiencing Just One Symptom It’s the call no one wants to get. But for one local doctor, it became a mission to save others from the “Blind Spot” in modern medicine. on the inside. He endured brutal treatments and cruel side effects. Tragically, the cancer later returned as a brain tumor. But before he passed, Dr. Ringold left behind a legacy—and a warning—for the rest of us.
(Southfield, MI)— You feel fine. You have no aches. You pass your annual physical with flying colors. You think you’re safe. But what if something sinister is silently growing inside you right now, waiting to strike? That is the terrifying reality Dr. Warren Ringold faced. As a respected family physician for 40 years, he knew the rules of medicine better than anyone. He felt perfectly fine until a sudden onset of shortness of breath sent him to the ER. The diagnosis was a shockwave: Stage 4
cancer.
While he felt healthy on the outside, tumors the size of softballs had been silently growing
The “Dirty Little Secret” of modern medicine: Here is the hard truth your
insurance company won’t tell you: The current healthcare system is reactive, not proactive. Standard medical screenings (like mammograms and colonoscopies) only catch 29% of cancers. That means 71% of tumors grow undetected in areas doctors aren’t even looking at. By the time you feel a lump or pain, it is often Stage 3 or 4. As Dr. Ringold warned, “Once you have symptoms, cancer is usually advanced.”
tragedy from happening to other families, Dr. Ringold founded Bionicc Body Screening in Southfield, Michigan’s first MRI full-body screening center. Using advanced MRI technology, Bionicc provides a “high-definition movie” of your insides. Unlike CT scans or X-rays, this machine emits NO radiation and is completely non-invasive. It scans the brain, neck, chest, abdomen, pelvis, and spine, looking for tumors as small as a pencil eraser. It can also detect silent killers like aneurysms and stroke risks before they become life-threatening emergencies. “It Saved My Life” Consider Mark B., age 67. He felt fine and had no symptoms. But he
Bionicc. The MRI revealed a 3-cm mass on his lung. It was cancer. Because he caught it early, he had it removed and is alive today to tell the story. Take Control: No Doctor’s Order Required The traditional medical system makes you jump through hoops. At Bionicc Body Screening, there is no red tape. • No Doctor’s Referral Needed: You are in charge of your own health. • No Insurance Hassles: This is an out of pocket, elective service for those who prioritize peace of mind and proactive care. • Immediate Answers: Don’t wait for a crisis to find out what’s going on inside your body.

In 2026, the city of Birmingham looks to finalize a plan for the YMCA building at 400 E. Lincoln. Photo by Patricia O’Blenes
Birmingham
City Manager Jana Ecker mentioned several goals for Birmingham in 2026, including a community-wide resident survey. “We are doing a community-wide resident survey to try to get the feedback from the community on their top funding priorities and what they consider most important,” Esker said. The survey is intended to be launched in the first quarter of the year. Some of the other focal points of 2026 for the city of Birmingham include celebratory events for the U.S.’s 250th anniversary, finalizing a plan for the YMCA building at 400 E. Lincoln, a continued focus on capital improvements, and switching over the citywide software program.
Bloomfield Township
Township Supervisor Mike McCready said Bloomfield Township’s top priority is roads — across the whole township. “We’re focused on working with the Road Commission and the state of Michigan to find funding to help us put money on the table so that the burden isn’t completely shouldered by the neighborhoods,” McCready said. He added that the township is, “trying to find a way to underwrite some of these costs for our community so we can not only just repair our roads, but in some instances,
Bloomfield Hills
David Hendrickson said in an email that in 2026, Bloomfield Hills will “focus on initiatives that strengthen infrastructure, promote clear planning and maintain highquality public services.” Bloomfield Hills will be prioritizing the completion of the Chesterfield Road culvert rehabilitation project, which is funded through a $1 million Community Project Funding grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. “This historic award — the largest non-matching grant the City has received — will allow the City to rehabilitate a degraded culvert that conveys a primary branch of the Rouge River tributary and supports a key access route into the southwest portion of Bloomfield Hills, improving roadway reliability, environmental protection and long-term resilience,” Hendrickson said in an email. Hendrickson said the city will focus on modernizing the zoning code, for which the city has partnered with enCodePlus for a cost of $35,000. “Clearer zoning regulations will improve transparency, reduce confusion and support development that respects the established character of the community. These efforts will be guided by the City’s Master Plan, which remains an important guiding document outlining Bloomfield Hills’ longterm vision as residential and commercial development continues,” Hendrickson said See GOALS on page 17A
Hand-held magnifiers are useless –
Can you help me? Q.
Dr. Jacobi I love my four kids and they love me. They feel badly for me because I have macular degeneration and find vision keeps me away from doing those things I like to do. If any of them sees something online that might help people with low vision they purchase it for me. So, I have dozens of hand-held magnifying devices that are useless because my hands aren’t free to use my computer or do other things which require 2 hands. Should I give up on using my computer or is there something you can do to help? Dorothy M.
A.
I have good news for you Dorothy, you can say good-bye to handheld magnifiers. There are a variety of different devices available to help that are hands-free, so you can use your computer but do a variety of other things you have probably already given up on. The majority are in a wearable form similar to eyeglasses. You didn’t mention if there are other activities you want to do besides work on your computer, such as watching television, reading the bible, seeing the faces of your loved ones, or driving. During your initial evaluation we can determine what is needed to help you achieve each of your goals. The first step is to evaluate how much usable vision you have. In addition, we need to identify all of your needs. The best thing to do is to schedule an appointment so I can show you how we can help. Stop struggling with poor vision – call today to schedule an appointment.

in an email. Hendrickson added that the city will continue its commitment to keeping the Public Safety Department “fully staffed and continuously trained.”
Franklin
The village of Franklin shared four goals for the upcoming year. “I think the No. 1 item this year that is going to be a focus is seeking additional revenue sources, particularly to address Police Department and Fire Department cost increases,” Village President David Goldberg said. “Our means of doing that will consist of continuing to streamline our budget to limit unnecessary expenses, but at the same time seeking additional revenue sources. Whether it’s through increasing millages or using a Headlee Override option, between our police and fire millages, we are definitely going to have to seek some additional funding as we move into this next decade.” Through Headlee Rollback, a part of a 1978 amendment, municipalities must reduce the millage rate when the taxable value
of properties increases faster than the rate of inflation. A Headlee Override is approved by voters to restore the rates to what they were before the Rollback. Other goals shared by Goldberg include stormwater management through reestablishing ditches and addressing clogged culverts throughout the village, enhancing communication with residents through various mediums, and working on economic development in the downtown area.
Bingham Farms
Bingham Farms Village Manager and Clerk Jamie Moore shared that the Franklin-Bingham Farms police department was recently accepted into membership with MCAT (Major Case Assistance Team). “This is excellent news for the Village! MCAT is comprised of experienced detectives from member agencies who specialize in major crime investigations and represents a significant investigative resource for both Villages should a major incident ever occur,” Moore said over email. Additionally, Moore said over email, “The Village-Wide Street Improvement project will continue into 2026. Residents can sign up for email updates on the Village of Bingham Farms website.”

The secrets to their success NEW BUSINESS OWNERS TALK ABOUT PLANNING, GROWTH AFTER YEAR ONE BY MARIA ALLARD allard@candgnews.com
METRO DETROIT — When starting a business, entrepreneurs think about all aspects that will make it successful: daily operations, building a customer base, hiring employees, managing cash flow, city zoning ordinances and much more. After navigating over the hurdles, making it through the first year feels like a milestone.
‘The biggest challenge has been getting the word out’
Bricks & Minifigs Novi, located at 49881 Grand River Ave., in Wixom, opened Sept. 21, 2024. In that first year, the store owners learned a lot about what worked and what improvements can be made. “I think what got us through is our positive attitude and amazing customers,” said Cara Suksi, who created the store with her husband Kevin. “We have so many repeat customers. They’re so supportive. They take part in some of our events
we’ve done. It’s hard to walk in our store and not have a huge smile on your face.” Bricks & Minifigs Novi is every Lego fan’s dream. “We sell everything Legos. We sell new and boxed Legos. We sell bulk Legos including bins,” Cara said. “Legos are made well. They don’t lose their value. They always fit together.” The Suksis own Bricks & Minifigs Novi with two other partners: Cathy Drapeau, who is Cara Suksi’s mother, and Sean Krabach. Everyone took on different roles to make the store a success. Kevin, who still works his full-time job outside the family business, takes care of the finances for Bricks & Minifigs Novi and assists with the inventory. Cara handles the marketing, events and birthday parties. Krabach is responsible for the inventory, and Drapeau was put in charge of human resources. Cara and Kevin’s teenage son Jack also helps out, along with a group of dedicated staff members. Kevin always had an interest in Legos. Cara said he’d buy See BUSINESS on page 20A

‘I knew I had to keep going’
In the summer of 2025, Mariah Moore fulfilled a longtime ambition of opening up her own business called EverCare Home Health. The virtual office is located in Bloomfield Hills and provides home health care services throughout metro Detroit. Moore always had an interest in helping others. She started caregiving when attending Ferris State University. After graduating from college in 2011, she worked for Child Protective Services in Michigan but also continued with caregiving on the side. At first it was to make extra money, but then Moore discovered how much she enjoyed working as a caregiver. “I worked for different agencies in metro Detroit,” Moore said. “I knew I loved it.” She eventually left CPS. In 2023, the budding entrepreneur decided it was time to open up her own home health care business. She wasn’t sure how to get started but met a mentor who offered a number of tips to help in the beginning. Moore paid attention to every detail to make sure she was on the right path to opening EverCare Home Health. “She taught me how to do it from beginning to end,” Moore said. “She went over

Mariah Moore is a new business owner. In the summer of 2025, she opened up her own business, EverCare Home Health, to provide non-medical home health aid to families. The virtual office, located in Bloomfield Hills, provides home health care services throughout metro Detroit. everything with me.” That included putting together a business plan, setting policies and procedures, and registering as an LLC business. EverCare Home Health offers a number of nonmedical services including dressing, bathing, companionship, light housekeeping, and transportation for doctor’s appointments and running errands. Currently, Moore has 10 caregivers on staff and four clients. One strategy Moore uses to find new clients is to pay a company for referral leads. “The most challenging part was finding clients in the beginning. No one was calling. It was disappointing,” she said. “I knew I had to keep going. It took about two months to find my first client. It seemed like it was never going to happen.” Moore makes sure to get to know the clients and their families to find out what the needs are. Some clients receive short-term care while others need long-term care. One client is receiving care 24 hours a day, seven days a week. “I stay involved so families feel comfortable contacting me,” she said. “We have to make sure the caregivers are reliable.” While Moore is “glad my company is a little bit smaller,” she does have plans to expand in the future. She would like to add more 24/7 clients and offer medical care. She knows the hard work involved in operating her own business, and she is willing to put in the time. “I want to continue to grow, and I still want to be able to have good relationships with each family,” Moore said. “I never thought I would have my own company. Focusing on my company full time is the most rewarding part. I truly enjoy it. I am doing what I love.”

and sell them online, and one day suggested they open up their own Lego store. Along with sales, Bricks & Minifigs Novi buys and trades all Lego products. Because of Kevin’s hobby, the Suksi already had a lot of inventory to stock the store. It was a long process to open the business. The Suksis traveled out of state to meet with the Lego CEO and founder. They also completed a week of training. They were required to give a presentation as to why they wanted to own such a business and also spent a few days working in the company’s flagship store. “It was pretty intense,” Cara said. “It’s a risk. The biggest challenge has been getting the word out. People are still finding us for the first time. Every market is different. What sells in one market may not sell in another market.” The owners continue to come up with new ideas as the business grows. Bricks & Minifigs Novi, for instance, will participate in National Lego Day on Jan. 28. Cara suggests customers check on the store’s social media pages — Facebook, X and Instagram — for updates. “Star Wars” is probably the biggest seller. The botanical flower themes, superheroes, “Lord of the Rings” and Friends sets also are popular. Cara said that many people come in to build their own creations or sometimes find missing pieces from a set they already own.

was intended to seek public feedback from residents. “That survey really helped us. Frankly, it kind of told us what we already felt, but we felt it really valuable that we confirmed it with our community,” Dupuis said. Historic District Commission member Dustin Kolo said it’s an important moment for Birmingham. “So many of our resources are going to become historic over the next decade or two decades,” he said. Kolo said the city wants to give residents the opportunity to designate their house as a historical resource and “make sure that we’re capturing those resources that are
Approaches to historic preservation
from page 1A
There are regulatory and non-regulatory approaches to historic preservation. Regulatory approaches are “managed through laws and ordinance, and the application of strict guidelines,” while non-regulatory approaches rely on “voluntary action, incentives, and education,” according to the draft plan. According to the survey, almost 70% of respondents wanted a combination of both regulatory and non-regulatory approaches, which Dupuis said is “right on, in terms of what we feel a good historic preservation program should be.”

The draft historic preservation master plan
In the draft, there are three goals stated for the plan: “Get Back to the Basics,” “Embrace Proactivity” and “Inform and Engage.” For each goal, there is a list of actions that include projects that will help the city achieve each goal. However, the draft plan notes that it is “aspirational,” and timelines may “ebb and flow.” Some examples of actions in the draft include, “adopt a demolition delay ordinance,” “produce updated historic plaques
for all designated historic buildings in the Central Business Historic District” and “increase and regularize enforcement of maintenance requirements to ensure that historic materials are not lost to neglect.” This topic was an agenda item at the City Commission meeting Jan. 12, after press time. For updates on the approval of the master plan, visit bhamgov.or, where the agenda, meeting packet and videos of City Commission meetings are available.

coding and problem-solving, augmented and virtual reality-based technician training and more. Additionally, children will be able to experience the Jeep and Ram Power Wheels track, which the release states “offers a thrilling, age-appropriate first connection to vehicles and mobility.” Todd Szott, the 2026 Detroit Auto Show chairperson, said the exhibit is about inspiring kids. “We want kids and students to walk in, get their hands on technology, feel the excitement of innovation and start to imagine themselves as engineers, designers, coders, technicians or entrepreneurs,” he said in a statement. “If we can inspire even a fraction of them to explore a future in the auto industry, that’s a win for Detroit and for the industry as a whole.” Inside the exhibit hall, visitors can experience the debut of Michigan Overland Adventure, a new immersive feature celebrating the vehicles, gear and lifestyle of overlanding — self-reliant, vehicle-dependent travel to remote destinations, typically involving camping and off-road-capable vehicles. “Designed as a rugged, adventure-inspired environment, Michigan Overland Adventure will transform a dedicated area of the show floor into an overland showcase featuring custombuilt trucks, off-road SUVs, adventure-ready rigs and expedition equipment built for exploration,” a press release from the organizers states. “The experience invites attendees to step into the world of overlanding — where capability, durability and freedom come together.” Szott said the exhibit reflects a shift that’s been seen in the industry towards vehicles that are “built for more than just getting from Point A to point B.” “Michigan Overland Adventure taps directly into that momentum. It reflects how automakers — especially those with deep roots here in Detroit — are responding to consumer demand for capability, authenticity and vehicles that can take people further, whether that’s up north, off the grid or off the beaten path,” he said in a statement. According to the press release, besides featuring vehicles from Ford, Chevrolet, GMC, Jeep, Ram, Toyota, INEOS, Subaru and American Expedition Vehicles, the exhibit will also feature rooftop tents, off-road trailers, recovery equipment and expedition gear. The show will also feature a number of signature experiences, such as the return of The Gallery, an ultra-luxury and exotic vehicle showcase; Modded Detroit, one of Michigan’s premier automotive enthusiast groups, which will bring a curated showcase of over 150 modified vehicles; and Racing Day on Jan. 20. The Detroit Auto Show will run Jan. 14-25 at Huntington Place, 1 Washington Blvd. in downtown Detroit, with the public show running Jan. 17-25. For a full schedule and list of exhibits, visit detroitautoshow.com. Check candgnews.com for more auto show coverage from the media preview, which occurred after press time.

DETROIT — Registration is open for all four sessions of the Born in Detroit Baseball Camp that will be held at the Wayne State University athletics campus on Jan 31 and Feb 7. The sessions will be broken up by position and age and will all take place at Harwell Field and the Doris J. & Donald L. Duchene Sr. Athletic Facility. “This event is a great opportunity for our programs to connect with the motivated participants and empower them by providing both educational and impactful experiences that will help their development and carry over to their high school and youth baseball seasons,” Wayne State University head coach Ryan Kelley said in a press release. “Our dedicated coaches, staff, team and partners like Born in Detroit help make this opportunity come together.” Sessions one and two will focus on pitching development and will be held on Jan 31. Session one will be for ages 8-13 and will take place from noon to 2 p.m., and ses-
SPORTS sion two will be for ages 14-18 and will be held from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. The pitching development sessions will focus on arm care, strength and conditioning education, drills and bullpens. Participants will also have the opportunity to work with current Wayne State University baseball players and members of the Wayne State coaching staff, who will also lead classroom instruction. Sessions three and four will focus on hitting and offensive development and take place on Feb 7. Session one will be for 8- to 13-year-olds and will be held from noon to 2 p.m., and session four will be for ages 14-18 from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. Wayne State will provide detailed hitting instruction; strength, speed and flexibility education; instruction on the mental aspects of hitting; and base running drills. According to Wayne State’s press release on the camp, participants can anticipate a high volume of repetitions in a fun atmosphere hosted by Wayne State players and staff. “The baseball camp at Wayne State is

an extraordinary opportunity for Born IN Detroit to support our city’s youth and foster the development of the next generation of players.”Anthony Tomey, co-owner of Born in Detroit, said in the press release. Tomey was a standout pitcher who played for Detroit Catholic Central and Eastern Michigan University before being drafted by the Detroit Tigers in the 30th round of the 2003 MLB Amateur Draft. He then played minor league baseball for the Tigers and Dodgers organizations until 2008. “We’re honored to help young athletes
build their skills and confidence on the baseball field,” Tomey said in the release. The Born in Detroit brand was trademarked in 2015 by brothers Michael and Anthony Tomey, and brothers George and Alex Bourkoulas. The brand has officially licensed apparel for the Tigers, Lions, Red Wings and Pistons as well as a handful of local colleges. All participants will receive a Born in Detroit T-shirt. The cost for each baseball session is $75. Register for sessions at WayneState Baseball Camps.com.
