Bug 'with many legs,' sewage smell cited at pizzeria in Holland

Each week, the Ottawa County Department of Public Health releases a round-up of recent safety inspections at restaurants, schools and other facilities. Adhering to proper safety practices is critical to preventing foodborne illness and promoting public health. The Sentinel publishes regular reports on “priority” violations — ones that could directly lead to contamination of food or increase the risk of transmitting a foodborne illness, as well as corrective measures taken. The Sentinel also reports on “priority foundation” violations — ones that could lead to a priority violation. The health department notes “core” violations, but The Sentinel only reports on those if there’s a significant accumulation at a single eatery or the inspection noted more serious violations.

Goodbye Torch Lake, So Long Houghton Lake: This Michigan Fishing And Boating Paradise Features Crystal-Clear Waters

Depending on who you ask, only three or four other states in America can claim more lakes than Michigan. Even then, the Mitten State tops the list for the most miles of freshwater shoreline. So you can imagine the competition among lakes in what is aptly nicknamed the Great Lakes State. Torch Lake and Houghton Lake get a lot of attention for their boating and fishing, but there's a lesser-known gem with crystalline water that's also worth checking out. Located a 2.5-hour drive north of Grand Rapids, Lime Lake sprawls across 670 acres in Leelanau County. While locals may not be keen on Lime Lake getting too famous, eco-conscious visitors can certainly enjoy this pristine environment while preserving its beauty.
