A Michigan deer wandered for 10 days with a plastic Halloween pumpkin stuck over its mouth, and rescuers say they get calls like it every year

A young buck in Michigan spent 10 days with a plastic Halloween pumpkin stuck on its head before volunteers freed it on Sunday, according to BroBible . The Detroit Animal Welfare Group led the effort and says it tracked the deer to Hines Park in Westland, miles from the Livonia neighborhood where it was first spotted. Volunteers tranquilized the animal and removed the bucket. The deer first drew attention after a resident in a Livonia neighborhood recorded video of it with the plastic pumpkin bucket stuck over its mouth. The group says it began receiving calls shortly after Halloween and posted on social media asking people to report sightings. It says it received several updates and photos but could not catch up to the deer, which was becoming weak and thin. The group says it was concerned that the deer would become dehydrated and eventually starve, as the bucket kept it from eating or drinking. It received permission from the Michigan Department of Natural Resources to tranquilize the animal if volunteers could reach it. The group also asked for help from drone pilots, including one with a heat sensing drone, to track the deer down. Volunteers waded through water and

Document destruction company has new owners, new identity

DAGGETT — Country Mile Document Destruction began a new chapter with new ownership and a new name. The waste management business transitioned to second-generation owners Brad and Trina Younk and unveiled a new brand identity as Country Mile Environmental. The new name reflects the company’s broader range of services that go beyond document shredding. Country Mile Environmental securely handles regulated medical waste and provides on-site shredding and the secure destruction of confidential documents, hard drives, computer hardware and other materials. While the company trucks now sport a new logo and company name, Country Mile Environmental offers customers the same customer service they have had for 25 years. The waste management company, headquartered in Daggett, continues to be family-owned and operated by the Younk family. Roger Younk founded Country Mile Document Destruction in 2001 with a pickup truck, trailer and a mobile paper shredder. From this foundation, the company has grown into a comprehensive, certified waste management organization. Country Mile Environmental serves businesses, municipalities and individuals in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, northeast Wisconsin, and north central Wisconsin. “Our goal is to stay ahead of the curve in recycling and waste management while continuing to provide the same reliable service our customers know

Marinette County committee debates reducing board

MARINETTE — Marinette County’s Executive Committee discussed reducing the county board from 30 members to 15, as a petition effort could put the question before voters in 2027. Public commenter Kim Brooks urged supervisors to consider board reduction alongside committee consolidation, while committee members debated representation, timing and how a smaller board would function. No action was taken at the Tuesday meeting. Brooks said consolidating committees could reduce repetitive meetings while maintaining oversight. She noted that many Wisconsin counties have consolidated committees and said a smaller board could be part of a broader restructuring. “You would have broad latitude in designing a new structure,” Brooks said. Brooks suggested that supervisors consider different committee assignments and options for public participation. She argued that streamlining could reduce staff time spent preparing for and attending meetings, while allowing department heads to focus on county work. Brooks also said meeting schedules affect who can serve. “This board does not adequately reflect the county,” Brooks said. Brooks added that morning and workday meetings can disadvantage working people, parents and other residents who might participate or serve as supervisors. Chair John Guarisco said his proposal was intended to open discussion, not prompt and immediate vote. He
