The Environmental Protection Agency is making good on a pledge to host a hearing in Michigan about PFAS contamination. Oddly, the hearing's agenda does not include a public comment section, unlike similar events held at five cities during the summer. On top of that, the hearing was announced with just a few days notice. The event is set for 1-3 p.m. this Friday at the Kalamazoo County Event Center.

#MeToo-themed art has played a strong role in ArtPrize 2018. The works tackle aspects of sexual assault. Some are difficult to look at, while others display a softer tone. Each are powerful in their own way. Said artist Vanessa Filley: "I hope that #MeToo-inspired art supports the movement, helps the dialog move forward, allows people to enter the conversation in a new way and speaks to the change we want to see."

The team might not win a game this year, but their season-long goal-line stand is nonetheless impressive.
