• With farm duties pulling away volunteers, cleanup crew departing Friday (cadillacnews.com) — Flood recovery help in Cadillac is shifting as Christian Aid Ministries wraps up two weeks of intensive home cleanups and plans to leave Friday, though they may return for rebuilds if enough projects and funding emerge. Local officials report over $1 million in volunteer work, ongoing well testing, high Lake Cadillac levels, and a community fund already covering dumpsters, supplies, and displaced residents’ needs. 
• Major Pizza Chain Shutters Locations Nationwide, Including In MI (patch.com) — Papa John’s has closed its Cadillac location this year as part of a nationwide shutdown of underperforming restaurants, according to an analysis cited from Fast Company. The move comes amid dozens of closures and corporate layoffs, and follows similar cutbacks by rival Pizza Hut.
• Local governments report varying levels of opioid settlement spending (cadillacnews.com) — Cadillac has received more than $122,000 in opioid settlement funds but, as of late 2025, had not reported spending any of it, while nearby counties are already funding treatment and recovery programs. The article explains how Wexford, Missaukee, Osceola, and Lake counties are using their shares, outlines new state reporting rules, and highlights long-term funding expected through 2038.
