Actually I don’t see any of those poems right now myself, but you never know when one might show up, so we have to keep this space open. You can’t always tell just from looking at them, either.

    State Joint Information News Clips August 3, 2014 Toledo, Ohio Water Contamination Leaves Residents Scrambling To Buy Bottled Water | By JOHN SEEWER Posted: 08/02/2014 6:52 am EDT TOLEDO, Ohio (AP) — Toxins possibly from algae on Lake Erie fouled the water supply of the state's fourth-largest city Saturday, forcing officials to issue warnings not to drink the water and the governor to declare a state of emergency as worried residents descended on stores, quickly clearing shelves of bottled water. "It looked like Black Friday," said Aundrea Simmons, who stood in a line of about 50 people at a pharmacy before buying four cases of water. "I have children and elderly parents. They take their medication with water." The city advised about 400,000 residents in Toledo, most of its suburbs and a few areas in southeastern Michigan not to brush their teeth with or boil the water because that would only increase the toxin's concentration. The mayor also warned that children should not shower or bathe in the water and that it shouldn't be given to pets. Toledo issued the warning just after midnight after tests at one treatment plant showed two sample readings for microsystin above the standard for consumption. Gov. John Kasich said it was too early to say how long the advisory will last or what caused toxins to spike suddenly in the drinking water. "We don't really want to speculate on this," he told The Associated Press. "When it comes to this water, we've got be very careful." The governor and his staff said state agencies were working to bring water and other supplies to areas around Toledo while also assisting hospitals and other affected businesses.
