Today's riddle: How do billboards talk? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• Plum looks to take initial step toward managing deer population (triblive.com) — Plum Council is taking its first formal step toward tackling the borough's growing deer problem by inviting U.S. Department of Agriculture experts to brief officials and residents on management options. Leaders are weighing ideas from feeding bans to a potential deer cull, especially around Boyce Park, and are considering a town hall so residents and local hunters can help shape any future plan.
• Moon scores in final seconds to beat Plum for 1st win (triblive.com) — Plum's football team suffered a heartbreaking loss Friday when Moon scored a go-ahead touchdown with just 16 seconds left, spoiling a big third-quarter Plum comeback. Despite standout performances from quarterback John Nonnenberg and receiver Semaj Robinson, costly mistakes and special-teams miscues left Plum short as they prepare for another tough matchup next week.
• Sakolsky Forest: Retired Plum teacher returns to Chinese forest nearly 30 years after donation (wtae.com) — A retired Plum Borough School District teacher has returned from an emotional visit to a Chinese forest he helped fund nearly three decades ago, and now keeps a room in his Plum home filled with mementos from the trip. His story of supporting tree planting in Inner Mongolia has drawn international attention, and he's using that platform to encourage environmental stewardship and revive teacher exchange programs.
