Michigan Deer Camp 2016, Nov. 14

Teachers – we hope you will participate in Deer Camp 2016 on Nov. 14!

New this year, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources has developed a Deer Camp event for students in second through fourth grades.

“We heard about northern schools who had created this special day where students participate in deer camp before they or their family members head out to an actual deer camp, and we thought why not share this great idea statewide,” said Kelly Carter, DNR Wildlife Division Public Outreach manager.

Teachers that sign up electronically will receive a packet outlining activities that touch on many different subjects, from science to math to English to art and even gym. In addition, there is a short video from DNR deer management specialist Chad Stewart to kick off the fun event.

The idea is that a teacher can use the various pieces throughout the entire day, or just for part of the day. Some schools even start the day with breakfast for the students. What a great idea – it really is like deer camp! Read more

Michigan: Legislation to Expand ORV Use On State Managed Forest Roads Goes Into Effect in 2017, 18

Revised rules will follow Lower Peninsula trail inventory process

With fall hunting seasons in full swing, the Michigan Department of Natural Resources reminds off-road vehicle enthusiasts that while the expansion of ORV riding opportunities on state-managed forest roads in the Lower Peninsula is in the works, the new rules won’t go into effect until 2017 and 2018 – after the completion of a statewide inventory of forest roads.

The inventory will include the mapping of five regions, including four in the Lower Peninsula. The Upper Peninsula serves as one region and already allows ORV use on most state forest roads.

On Sept. 28, Gov. Rick Snyder signed Public Act 288 of 2016. The approved legislation sets forth a timeline for the new rules to go into effect. This includes examination of the two northernmost regions in the Lower Peninsula by the end of 2017 and the remaining regions by the end of 2018. This review will allow the DNR to determine which forest roads should remain closed and which roads will be open for ORV use.

State-managed forest roads in the Upper Peninsula currently are open to ORV use unless closed by the DNR. The law has been the opposite in the Lower Peninsula, where state forest roads are closed to ORV use unless posted as open. Read more

Why the US Postal Service Fails to Satisfy

GW:  So here’s the latest bit of evidence as to why the United States Postal Service is failing.  Here’s how it handled a flat rate box priority 3 day shipping.  And, this comes after another package, another time, was shipped to Australia instead of Arizona.  I got my hands on it some 30 days later.  And, with a perfectly legible label and no customs papers.  Oh, and no explanation. 

And, quick!  What longstanding business closes at odd hours for lunch?  Yep, there’s no mystery here despite all the taxpayer subsidies and TV commercials.  It’s a prime example of how government functions without the threat of competition.
