Tay-Sachs disease is a rare inherited disease of the central nervous system passed from parents to child. Both parents must be carriers of a mutation in the HEXA gene to pass the disease on to their children. If you know that you are a carrier of this abnormal HEXA gene, we invite you to participate in our research project. Your participation will contribute to the knowledge gained from this research project. Knowledge gained will be used to help others through the development of new and improved carrier screening tests for people like you. We are looking for 50 people known to carry the abnormal Tay-Sachs gene. We ask participants in the project to donate about 1 tablespoon of blood for test development. Only a single visit is required. * You qualify to volunteer if you are: ‡0DOHRU)HPDOHDWOHDVW\HDUVRIDJHRUROGHU * CARS & COFFEE AT AUTOMOTIVE HALL OF FAME ‡$FDUULHURIWKH7D\6DFKVGLVHDVHJHQH Coffee, doughnuts and hot cars will be on the menu at the Automotive Hall of Fame in Dearborn Saturday, Aug. 27, for its Cars & Coffee event.

Heat stroke can happen in a mat- ter of minutes when a child is left unat- tended in a vehicle and is the leading cause of all non-crash related deaths involving children 14 and younger. To help combat this epidemic, General Motors announced a new technology that can help prevent hot car deaths. The technology is a Rear Seat Reminder fea- ture in the 2017 GMC Acadia. It works by notifying the driver that the rear door was opened prior to a trip at the end of a jour- ney, prompting the driver to simply look in the backseat. “So, if you’re loading your laptop, your lunch, valuables, pets, children — we know that you’ve used your rear doors and that activates the system,” says Tricia Morrow, a GMC safety expert. When you’re done driving, you’ll hear five chimes and see a message on your driver information center alerting you to look in the rear seat. The Rear Seat Reminder feature will be standard in all of the 2017 Acadias and is coming soon to other GM vehicles.
