Updated: The Shelby Township preliminary exam was postponed until Aug. 8 due to defense attorneys requesting additional time for discovery.

Need a morning fix with your cup of joe? Here's some news in a nutshell from Patch:

• Remember a few years back how the 23 Mile repaving project seemed to last forever and caused terrible traffic woes? Well, now that has become a welcome piece of the past, gear up for the next round of work on 23 Mile, from Gratiot to I-94. , so we thought you'd like to be reminded of the last day of 23 Mile normalcy. Savor the moment, motorists.
• Are you still reeling from the Casey Anthony not-guilty verdict and need an outlet to express yourself? Well, join our on the topic at Patch, where a healthy rant is always welcome. 
• If you missed our story on a local woman who has been convicted in a court case stemming from acts against her daughter, read the article for information on her sentencing.
• Court coverage may be the theme for the week because a high-profile case is back in court today in Shelby Township. The owner of Tirami Su Ristorante and his brother are due in 41-A District Court at 1:30 p.m. for a prelimary exam on and threatened to kill his family and employees. 
• Or perhaps history is more your forte. Patch contributor Alan Naldrett, author of the new book Images of America: Chesterfield Township and the historical articles featured in the library’s "Bookworm" newsletter, will present from 6:30-7:30 p.m. at Chesterfield Township Library.
