Public health advisories for Kansas lakes due to blue-green algae
The Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) and the Kansas Department of Wildlife and Parks (KDWP) have issued a public health advisory due to blue-green algae. A harmful algal bloom (HAB) may look like foam, scum or paint floating on the water and be colored blue, bright green, brown or red. Blooms can develop rapidly; if the water appears suspicious or there is decaying algae on the shore, avoid contact and keep pets away. These toxins can be absorbed by ingestion, inhalation of aerosols and even skin contact. Symptoms vary depending upon the type of exposure (e.g. direct contact, ingestion, inhalation) but can include rash, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, sore throat, and headache. If you, or your pets, come into contact with algae rinse the area with clean, fresh water. Suspected HAB-related health incidents, whether human or animal, regardless of season, should be reported at kdhe.ks.gov/1163.
Economist: Economy weak across Midwest
Creighton University economist Ernie Goss told Hutch Post that his Rural Mainstreet survey is still showing weakness in the economy for this part of the country. "This is a survey of bank CEOs in rural areas of 10 states, including Kansas, right down the middle, mid-section of the country," Goss said. "The overall rating for July was not good. In fact, this is the lowest that we've recorded this year, and it's certainly down from this time last year. And what we're seeing is just the rural Main Street economy, driven a lot by agriculture and energy, just not holding up very well."
