Livonia Stevenson parts ways with football coach Randy Micallef

Livonia Stevenson will have a new football coach next season. Athletic director Arnie Muscat confirmed Stevenson has let go of coach Randy Micallef after 14 seasons leading his alma mater. “We decided to make a change in the Stevenson Football program and will be now moving in a new direction,” Muscat said. “We are grateful to Randy Micallef for his 14 years of dedicated service to our program and for all he has done for our student-athletes.” Stevenson finished 2-7 overall and 2-6 in the Lakes Valley Conference this fall, its first season in the league. “I am very disappointed in the decision,” Micallef said. “I was excited about the group of young men that were returning and had gained a lot of experience this season. I know they will do some great things in the future!” Micallef compiled a 57-73 record since taking over in 2013, including a 36-45 mark in Kensington Lakes Activities Association divisional games.

Recent health inspections flag Northville eateries

Recent health inspections in some Northville restaurants found improper handwashing, improper food storage and more between September and November, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports. Many of the violations have been corrected. The presence of violations in a past inspection does not necessarily mean the establishment has the same violations today. Inspection reports can be found at swordsolutions.com/inspections/. Below is a list of violations found at a few restaurants in Northville. Deccan Bawarchi, 17933 Haggerty Road During a routine inspection on September 15, an inspector noted several problems at Deccan Bawarchi. ∎ During the inspection, employees were never seen washing their hands, even though they moved from food preparation areas to dish areas, to grabbing supplies from stock areas, and returning. Whenever employees want to start food preparation tasks or return from leaving after completing non-food preparation tasks hand washing should be done before donning new pair of gloves. Wash hands before putting on gloves and preparing food. Corrected through instruction. ∎ Prep line cooler was malfunctioning and holding all potentially hazardous food items inside between 52-54F. This included cooked chicken, paneer cheese, mayo, lentil soup, and cooked chickpeas. Potentially hazardous ready-to-eat food should be kept below 41F.

Livonia Franklin football wants to keep post-victory tradition going

LIVONIA — Adversity can tear some teams apart. For Livonia Franklin (9-2), it did the opposite. A close call in Week 7 sparked the six-game winning streak that has carried Franklin through the Division 2 playoffs. After edging Allen Park, 35-28, in the opener, Franklin upset unbeaten Gibraltar Carlson , 17-6, to capture its 10th district title and first since winning back-to-back championships in 2021 and 2022. Franklin visits Grosse Pointe South (10-1) Friday, Nov. 13, with a shot at the state semifinals for the fifth time in program history. That Week 7 scare against 1-8 White Lake Lakeland set everything in motion. Franklin trailed 14-0 before rallying for a 35-28 victory. “That game really taught us that we can’t take any team lightly, no matter what their record is,” junior Tyler Brown said. “We can’t over complicate how we prepare. We’ve just got to work hard no matter who the opponent is.” More: Subscribe to “Michigan Sidelines,” our high school sports newsletter Instead of pointing fingers, the players leaned on their chemistry.

Ford throws open the doors to its new Vault, unveiling 125 rare historic vehicles

ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — Ford will open the doors to its new Vault this weekend to some lucky gearheads and fans of history. The 123-year-old carmaker on Saturday will allow select members of the public and employees into the Ford Vault to take a gander at everything from rare concept cars and Hollywood Mustangs to historic police cruisers and even a 1938 ambulance. Tickets were snapped up quickly, but Ford Motor Co. said there will be future showings. “You don’t create an experience like this and a space like this and then hide it away,” said Ted Ryan, Ford’s Archives and Heritage Brand Manager. “We’re going to find a way to make it available to the car community in Michigan as soon as we can.” Ford’s collection of historic vehicles once was housed at its Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters and other locations. Its vast new home, the Vault, is situated inside a former Amazon fulfillment center in Romulus, another Detroit suburb, and measures 79,000 square feet (7,339 square meters). “I can tell you, after working here for a couple weeks, I'm averaging about 20,000 steps a day,” said Ryan. The Vault brings together 125 of the Heritage Fleet's historically significant vehicles,

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

Plymouth testing cameras at train crossing. Here's where and why

Plymouth motorists tired of waiting for trains to pass may soon have a new way to avoid getting stuck at railroad crossings. The Plymouth City Commission voted unanimously to launch a pilot program that will use cameras to monitor the North Main Street railroad crossing near Bode’s Corned Beef House, allowing drivers to check for blocked crossings through a mobile app or website. If all goes well, cameras could be added at other crossings in the future. “If you’ve ever driven through, worked, lived in, been near the city of Plymouth, you’ve probably experienced … waiting at a train, or two or three,” Plymouth Economic Development Director John Buzuvis said at a Nov. 2 meeting. The city has seven railroad crossings within its 2.2 square miles, all operated by CSX, with trains passing through often enough to cause delays and, sometimes, blockages, he said. More: Police: Garbage truck driver went around lowered gates in Amtrak crash More: Police: Mother, 2 young daughters struck by train in Ecorse How it works The new system, called InterFact, uses solar-powered cameras to capture still images of crossings approximately once per minute, providing crossing status information through a website and mobile platform, including notifications
