Jackson continues push to replace thousands of lead water service lines (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Most households in Jackson get their water through lead pipes. But the city is making significant progress in changing that, a Jackson official said. "We have about 12,000 water service lines in our city, and about 11,000 were made of lead pipe as of about five years ago," Jeff Crow said. "Today, we're at around 9,000."

Solar eclipse gives way to Perseid meteor shower, new moon for Michigan skygazers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mid-Michigan residents got a brief look at a partial solar eclipse Wednesday afternoon, but astronomers say the sky has even more in store as the annual Perseid meteor shower peaks under ideal viewing conditions tonight. Shannon Schmoll, director of the Abrams Planetarium at Michigan State University, said clouds limited visibility of the eclipse, but observers still managed to catch a glimpse of the moon passing in front of the sun. "We managed to see it briefly," Schmoll said. "There was defin
