Daylight Saving Time won’t end this weekend—it wraps up on November 1st at 2 AM, when we’ll “fall back” an hour. The push to make DST permanent, backed by figures like President Trump, is gaining steam but still stalled in Congress. While the original goal was energy savings and better daylight alignment, many find the annual clock switch disruptive. Not every state participates—Hawaii, most of Arizona (including the Navajo Nation), Puerto Rico, and Guam skip it due to climate. With shorter days ahead, mark your calendars: November 1st is the last time you’ll need to adjust your clocks—unless lawmakers decide to end the ritual for good.

This Friday, September 11th, marks 25 years since the deadliest terrorist attack on U.S. soil—when 19 hijackers crashed four planes into the Twin Towers, the Pentagon, and Pennsylvania, killing nearly 3,000. Governor Whitmer has ordered Michigan flags to fly at half-staff in remembrance, honoring victims and heroes. Observed nationwide as Patriot Day, the solemn moment of silence at 8:46 AM recalls the first strike. Forty-two Michiganders were among those lost. Flags will return to full staff Saturday, a day to reflect, unite, and reaffirm our commitment to freedom and resilience.

New U.S. tariffs are hitting Canadian hockey gear with a 50% duty, making equipment like sticks and skates dramatically more expensive—and straining family budgets. What once cost a few hundred dollars now easily tops $1,000 per player, before factoring in annual gear replacements. While only 1% of U.S. hockey sticks come from Canada, even a $50 price bump per stick adds up fast when you’re outfitting kids with helmets, pads, and more. Families are weighing whether the rising costs are worth keeping their kids on the ice—especially as tariffs linger and manufacturers decide how much to pass on to consumers.
