Recent health inspections flag Northville eateries

Recent health inspections in some Northville restaurants found improper handwashing, improper food storage and more between September and November, according to Wayne County Health Department inspection reports. Many of the violations have been corrected. The presence of violations in a past inspection does not necessarily mean the establishment has the same violations today. Inspection reports can be found at swordsolutions.com/inspections/. Below is a list of violations found at a few restaurants in Northville. Deccan Bawarchi, 17933 Haggerty Road During a routine inspection on September 15, an inspector noted several problems at Deccan Bawarchi. ∎ During the inspection, employees were never seen washing their hands, even though they moved from food preparation areas to dish areas, to grabbing supplies from stock areas, and returning. Whenever employees want to start food preparation tasks or return from leaving after completing non-food preparation tasks hand washing should be done before donning new pair of gloves. Wash hands before putting on gloves and preparing food. Corrected through instruction. ∎ Prep line cooler was malfunctioning and holding all potentially hazardous food items inside between 52-54F. This included cooked chicken, paneer cheese, mayo, lentil soup, and cooked chickpeas. Potentially hazardous ready-to-eat food should be kept below 41F.

Ohio 44th district race has Republican ahead by 56 votes

Ohio's 44 th District seat vacated by Republican Josh Williams is within automatic recount territory, so far. Some votes remain to be counted, which are provisional ballots, overseas ballots and absentee 11-S challenge forms. The election totals reported in Ohio are unofficial numbers because the count has not yet included those votes. Currently, only 56 votes separate Republican Edward Schimmel and Democrat David Fournier, putting it within the 0.5% that Lucas County Board of Elections Director LaVera Scott said was the automatic trigger for a recount. Schimmel has 26,612 votes (47.97%) to Fournier’s 26,556 votes (47.87%). Independent candidate Lyndsey Stough received 2,313 votes (4.17%). The "canoe" or "dumbbell" district is composed of the western part of Lucas County, the northern section of Wood County and a western section of Ottawa County. Due to its spread across parts of three counties, it's unclear how many provisional, overseas and challenged ballots come from which parts of the district. “We don’t process them according to district at all. Once the board votes on them to tell if they are valid or not, then they are generated," Scott said. "Only after that time would we be able to link them to any district. All

Ford throws open the doors to its new Vault, unveiling 125 rare historic vehicles

ROMULUS, Mich. (AP) — Ford will open the doors to its new Vault this weekend to some lucky gearheads and fans of history. The 123-year-old carmaker on Saturday will allow select members of the public and employees into the Ford Vault to take a gander at everything from rare concept cars and Hollywood Mustangs to historic police cruisers and even a 1938 ambulance. Tickets were snapped up quickly, but Ford Motor Co. said there will be future showings. “You don’t create an experience like this and a space like this and then hide it away,” said Ted Ryan, Ford’s Archives and Heritage Brand Manager. “We’re going to find a way to make it available to the car community in Michigan as soon as we can.” Ford’s collection of historic vehicles once was housed at its Dearborn, Michigan, headquarters and other locations. Its vast new home, the Vault, is situated inside a former Amazon fulfillment center in Romulus, another Detroit suburb, and measures 79,000 square feet (7,339 square meters). “I can tell you, after working here for a couple weeks, I'm averaging about 20,000 steps a day,” said Ryan. The Vault brings together 125 of the Heritage Fleet's historically significant vehicles,
