Secrets of the Deep: A Detroit News project

SECRETS OF THE DEEP : A Detroit News project Reporter Carol Thompson explores the thriving and competitive world of Great Lakes shipwreck hunting in this four-part package: ∎ Tech transforms hunt for Great Lakes shipwrecks : Estimates say at least 6,000 shipwrecks lie in the Great Lakes, and about half have not been found. Still, many of the people who dive the inland seas say they are in the "fourth quarter of shipwreck discovery," thanks in part to advances in sonar and scuba technology that have cracked open what was once a highly specialized pursuit. ∎ It's not finders keepers for Great Lakes shipwrecks . Like other states, Michigan claims ownership of shipwrecks in its Great Lakes waters. It has a strict process for raising shipwreck pieces and other artifacts from the bottomlands. Conservation officers investigate cases of shipwreck items taken from the lake floor or beaches, or put up for sale. ∎ Shipwreck hunters find tug boat long lost in Lake Huron : A team of shipwreck hunters that has scoured thousands of miles of Lake Huron this month announced its newest discovery: the steam-powered Tug Tawas, lost in an explosion in 1874. ∎ Deep dive: What it's like

Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, Detroit Lions traveling to Germany

LANSING — Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer is traveling to Germany as part of a trade mission, her office said on Thursday, Nov. 12. The trip comes as the Detroit Lions have a game scheduled in Munich, Germany, against the New England Patriots on Sunday, Nov. 15. The governor's announcement didn't say whether Whitmer would attend the NFL game. While in Germany, Whitmer and Quentin Messer Jr., CEO of the Michigan Economic Development Corp., will participate in SEMICON Europa, Europe's largest combined electronics design and manufacturing event, according to the governor's office. SEMICON Europa takes place in Munich this week, according to its website. “Germany has been a critical partner in Michigan's economic success, with companies investing billions in our state, creating jobs and helping us lead the future of manufacturing and innovation," Whitmer said in a press release. "We've built strong relationships with German businesses over the years, and we're going to keep showing up and making the case for why Michigan is the best place to invest and grow." The new Germany venture is Whitmer's fifth overseas trade mission of 2026. She traveled to South Korea in September, to France, Luxembourg and Belgium in June, to Italy and Germany

For sale, again: Historic Herman Kiefer grounds plus 38 acres of northwest Detroit

DETROIT — The historic former Herman Kiefer hospital in northwest Detroit, along with two former public schools and a number of vacant homes and lots, will be up for sale soon, marking the latest chapter in the years-long effort to revive the former medical site. The Detroit City Council on Nov. 10 agreed to put the properties up for sale as part of a legal settlement between the city and the private developer who tried to find new use for the buildings and land but failed. Entities controlled by Ron Castellano had development rights for the Herman Kiefer complex, plus two vacant schools, and a former nursing school, since 2016. Then in 2017, he gained the option to buy from the Detroit Land Bank Authority 117 empty homes and more than 300 vacant parcels near the facility. The total amount of square footage of the buildings involved amounts to more than 755,500 square feet, according to city documents. That's more square footage than the Michigan Central Station in Corktown and rivals in size the indoor space at Little Caesars Arena. Castellano contended in previous interviews with The Detroit News that the city undermined his plans to rehabilitate the former hospital

'Victims' in Kingdom of God case defect as David Taylor trial looms

Two women whose sexually explicit messages with Kingdom of God Global Church “apostle” David Taylor dominate the forced labor indictment against the religious figure insist they were not victimized or forced to perform sex acts and provide custom-ordered nudes , raising questions about their value to the government as witnesses at trial. The women, who prosecutors said were 18 and 19 during the alleged labor conspiracy, describe their relationships with Taylor as consensual, a point defense lawyers seized upon in trying unsuccessfully to remove allegations involving the women from the indictment. Details involving the women, who are identified by the code names"F-1" and "F-2," and allegations Taylor directed female church workers to perform sex acts and share nudes, were unfairly prejudicial, defense lawyers argued. Court filings reveal a rift between prosecutors and women who might have been expected to testify as the government's star witnesses at trial in April as two of the dozens of women prosecutors said were forced to perform sex acts for Taylor and provide explicit pictures and videos. Instead, the women could end up testifying for the defense after what they categorized as a betrayal by prosecutors effectively outing them and disclosing the sexual messages. “Must

Allen Park extends its data center moratorium

Allen Park is extending its moratorium on data center development, citing the need for more time to develop local legislation to regulate the controversial centers. The city council voted unanimously on Tuesday, Nov. 10, to extend its moratorium by six months. This move effectively doubles the city's current six-month data center moratorium, which was passed on June 9. Before the vote, Councilman Dan Loyd said the city's planning commission is currently considering how strict to make the local legislation that would regulate data centers. Communities can regulate data centers through their zoning ordinances. “One of the things that is going to go into this conversation is, as in any time you do legislation, is where do you draw the line? Where do you say, ‘This is not good for our community,’ and ‘This is good for our community?’ These are not easy conversations, and this is where we’re at," said Loyd. Communities across Metro Detroit have scrambled to put data center moratoriums in place to give them time to adjust their zoning ordinances to regulate where these facilities can and can't go . With some of those moratoriums set to expire, several communities are now extending their moratoriums. Rochester Hills
