Governor orders flags lowered for McCain for five days
LANSING (AP) — Gov. Rick Snyder has ordered that U.S. and Michigan flags be lowered to half-staff for five days in honor of the late U.S. Sen. John McCain.
Snyder on Monday said the flags will be lowered on all state buildings and within the state Capitol complex from Wednesday, when McCain will lie in state in Arizona, through Sunday, when he will be laid to rest in Maryland.
Snyder said in a statement that the former prisoner of war and Republican presidential nominee “made an incredible, positive impact on our country and on all who call it home.” He says he hopes “we will come together as a nation and honor his legacy.”
Amid criticism, the White House on Monday again flew its flag at half-staff after raising it.
Communities cleared to resume using tap water
PARCHMENT (AP) — Health officials are telling residents of two southwestern Michigan communities that they can drink tap water again, a month after the discovery of high amounts of toxic industrial chemicals.
The Kalamazoo County health department said Monday that tests of the water supply for the city of Parchment and Cooper Township found acceptable levels of perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, known as PFAS. Officials warned the some 3,000 people who use the Parchment water system after tests found PFAS levels 26 times greater than a lifetime federal health advisory.
Crews have disconnected contaminated groundwater wells as the nearby city of Kalamazoo is now supplying water to the Parchment system.
Officials haven’t determined the source of the chemicals that are used in manufacturing, firefighting and thousands of household and consumer products.
Condo spends $2,500 on DNA kits to solve dog poop mysteries
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) — Fed up with dog poop being left around, board members at a Maryland condominium complex are now relying on DNA samples to police unscooped feces.
Jeanne Fisher, the general manager for The Residence at Park Place Condominium, tells The Capital newspaper that she came across “doggie DNA” as an option when residents began complaining about unscooped poop.
The Annapolis complex had tried emails, dog meetings, fines and a security camera in the dog park.
The condo association spent about $2,500 on pet DNA kits and about 20 owners began providing samples.
Fisher says a sample is taken if someone hasn’t cleaned up after their pet.
If matched, a fine will be levied along with about $90 in costs if the association decides to send a specimen to a lab for testing.
