Animal advocate says landscape changes more effective than goose cull

Proper habitat modification has been successfully adopted elsewhere, Reichert said Wednesday. Other suggested steps include creating buffers of larger plantings to deter geese from hauling themselves directly out of water onto grass. Rocks, tall quarry stones, decks and boardwalks that rise vertically from the water can help block access to the shore. Additional techniques include scarecrows, noisemakers, balloons and trained dogs that can herd geese away, as well as installing mechanical barriers, the report said. If the goal is to reduce conflicts for groups such as farmers, a cull won’t be effective, since it just creates space for newcomers to move in, Reichert said.

Michigan Dem Scholten wins US House race over Trump loyalist

An independent commission reconfigured Michigan's congressional district map following the 2020 census, producing a number of competitive races. Their race was among the most expensive House contests nationwide, with more than $27 million in spending by the campaigns and outside groups. Kildee, the House Democrats' chief deputy whip, fended off a challenge from Republican Paul Junge to win a sixth term. Nearly all of the state’s voters said rising prices for gas, groceries and other goods were a factor in how they voted, with half naming it as the single most important factor. Those voters were far more likely to vote Republican, with roughly two-thirds casting ballots for the state’s GOP U.S. House candidates.
