Here is a list of the top five most interesting stories in the Hartland area this week.

1. The Tri-County Times had an interesting feature story about a one-armed Fenton man.

2. A 19-year-old Holly man died as a result of a car crash on East Holly Road in Holly Township Tuesday, reported the Oakland Press.

3. Rochester Patch posted a cool photo of a skeleton hand at Crittenton Hospital Medical Center. The sign, which featured two skeletal hands giving the "thumbs up" and "OK" signals, was a plug for the hospital's joint replacement center, which features top-ranked surgeons and leading-edge procedures like hip resurfacing.

4. The Patch photo contest continued with the week three winner "Boots and Bikinis," but there were plenty of great shots.

5. The Livingston Daily Press & Argus ran a neat feature on how a relationship with a pet helps to fulfill the human need for love and companionship.
