• One year later: Grand Blanc community shows resilience after church attack (abc12.com) — Burton residents are closely tied to Grand Blanc's healing one year after a deadly attack at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, carried out by a man from Burton. The congregation is breaking ground today on a new building at the original site, with a public ceremony and live stream as the wider community reflects on support efforts and relief funds.
   

• Dozens of deer found dead in Saginaw area, disease suspected (themanchestermirror.com) — A Burton angler, Ryan Mills, discovered dozens of dead deer along the Cass and Saginaw rivers, prompting a state investigation into suspected epizootic hemorrhagic disease. Michigan DNR officials say the pattern strongly suggests EHD, emphasize it does not infect humans, and advise hunters that healthy-looking deer from affected areas remain safe to eat.
