• Monroe County Region basketball summaries for Monday, Dec. 8, 2025 (monroenews.com) — Dearborn Heights hoops fans can celebrate a strong night from Crestwood’s girls team, which pulled away late to beat New Boston Huron 52-43 behind double-figure scoring from Abdallah, Chahine, and Scuaidan. The roundup also recaps several other Monroe County-area boys and girls games from Monday’s action. 
• Detroit suburb finds a real Christmas tree — instead of a fake one from China — just in time (apnews.com) — Dearborn Heights just installed a 40-foot real Norway spruce at City Hall after a delayed artificial tree shipment from China threatened to derail Friday’s community tree-lighting. A local Muslim American business owner helped cover the $10,000 cost, and Mayor Mo Baydoun says the tree symbolizes unity and respect among the city’s diverse faiths during a tense time in nearby communities.
