A fun fact to share today |
Did you know the world's oldest living chicken is a Michigander? Meet Peanut. Peanut is a 21-year-old hen who lives with her owner Marsi Darwin in Chelsea. For reference, the average lifespan for a bantam hen is roughly five to 10 years. In January, Peanut was crowned as the world’s oldest living chicken by Guinness World Records. Darwin doesn’t know what to attribute Peanut’s long life to, but her best guess is love ❤️. |

YouTuber who exposes sexual predators says police took his equipment and won’t give it back |
A local YouTuber: Kaizer Kinsley has recently branched out into trying to catch sexual predators in person. That’s what he was doing at the Grand Rapids Inn on June 1, when he says city of Wyoming police officers confiscated his laptop, three cameras and a wireless microphone. Background: Kinsley posts under the name Omma and has 731,000 subscribers. Last month, one of his videos got a Long Island middle school teacher removed from the classroom after the man apparently sent sexual photos to what he believed was a 15-year-old girl. Now: Kinsley filed a lawsuit against the city of Wyoming this week in federal court to get the equipment back. Wyoming police did not respond to messages left seeking information on the case and why (or whether) they kept the equipment in the first place. |

Tribe asks Michigan school district to stop using ‘Chieftains’ logo |
In Dowagiac: A Native American tribal council is urging a Michigan school district to stop using the “Chieftain” logo, saying it perpetuates harmful stereotypes of Indigenous people. The Tribal Council of the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians of Michigan and Indiana announced that it sent a letter to Dowagiac Union Schools Board President, Ruth Ausra. The letter rescinds an “outdated” joint resolution from 1990 that approved the use of its “Chieftains” logo. More: The Sault Ste. Marie Tribe of Chippewa Indians says it will appeal an agreement struck between four other tribes, federal regulators and state of Michigan to govern Great Lakes commercial and sport fishing. |

‘Ring of Fire’ eclipse will create a crescent sun for Michigan skywatchers this week |
Look up: On Saturday, Oct. 14, parts of North, Central, and South America will experience an annular solar eclipse — a sky event during which the moon obscures 90% of the sun and momentarily leaves just a bright, perfect circle of the sun’s outer edge. Still in the sky: Michigan’s beautiful fall colors can be seen from space in this satellite image. Speaking of the hues: A popular trail that offers views of Lake Michigan will soon be overrun with spectacular fall color at Ludington State Park. |
