That will change tonight, Sept. 1, 2022 when Grandville hosts Byron Center in the battle of the Bulldogs. MLive will be there, too, since the game took top honors in an MLive.com poll that closed Wednesday night. That means MLive will send one of our photographers to Grandville for the 7 p.m. non-conference showdown, and subscribers will get the photos for free. Come back to MLive after the game and subscribers will get free downloads of high-resolution photos from the game and half off photo-related merchandise.

KYIV – A human rights group in Belarus says over 300 people have been detained during Sunday protests against the country’s authoritarian president, who won his sixth term in office in a vote widely seen as rigged.

That’s what’s motivating Neighbors for Democracy, a group led by Unnikrishnan and former City Council Member Sumi Kailasapathy, to try to increase Ann Arbor turnout this year. Nearly 41,000 Ann Arbor voters have cast ballots so far — a 75% return rate — out of 54,277 absentee ballots issued for the 2020 election, City Clerk Jackie Beaudry said. It’s by design that it’s neighbors making personal contact with neighbors, Unnikrishnan said.

Burgess said the dog was taken by Lincoln Park Animal Control and quarantined for days.

DETROIT The Detroit Police Department takes a different approach when it comes to policing, or serving the community as some prefer to call it. What Detroit Neighborhood Police Officers thinkIn fact, the Detroit Police Department works to bring positive changes across the city and prevent what happened in Minnesota from happening here through neighborhood policing. Shank, along with Neighborhood Police Officers (NPOs) David Vazquez, Alexis Kellogg, Dan Robinson and more make up that unit across the city. Do these Detroit neighborhood officers think people fear the police? Every day is a chance to show the community who Detroit police officers really are.

But it’s in these city and neighborhood groups where you might have noticed community members leaning on each other, so to speak. Maybe the note on community groups got you thinking of some good you’ve seen around town. Maybe you know of a friend -- or a friend of a friend -- spreading cheer or making masks or a beautiful grandparent-grandchild reunion that brought tears to your eyes. Perhaps you fixed up your house all spring and you think more people should see. Do you know of businesses, groups or individuals doing a little extra to help others?
