Nearly 2 dozen Michigan beaches have high bacteria counts. See the list of place to avoid
Nearly two dozen Michigan beaches are under bacteria advisories or are closed as Michiganders head into the Aug. 2-3 weekend. In a state to more than 1,000 beaches, state officials say 21 beaches in counties across Michigan aren't fit for swimming. As of Friday, Aug. 1, there are multiple Michigan beaches that are currently closed or under advisory due to high bacteria levels — likely from wildlife, according to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes and Energy, which provides that information via an online dashboard. Beaches with closures or advisories Beaches include: Campbell Lake near Robert Morris Park in Kalamazoo County Clinch Park in Grand Traverse County Dumont Lake County Park Beach in Allegan County East Jordan Tourist Park in Charlevoix County Elm Point Beach in Charlevoix County Emerald Lake (Lyster Rd) in Oakland County Four Mile Beach in Chippewa County Grove Street Beach in Oakland County Halls Lake at Isabella County Independence Lake County Park in Washtenaw County Lakeview Waterfront Park in Roscommon County Lakewood Farms (Sharon Street) in Oakland County Newburgh and Sumac Pointes (Hines Park) in Wayne County Philp County Park in Huron County Pontiac Lake in Oakland County Ramona Park in Kalamazoo County Seven Lakes State Park in Oakland County St. Clair Shores Memorial Park Beach in Macomb County Sylvan Lake in Oakland County West End Beach in Grand Traverse County Willow Street Beach in Keego Harbor County health departments routinely collect water samples for bacteria levels at beaches across the state to determine whether the water is safe for swimming, according to the EGLE. To be considered safe for swimming, the E. coli counts must be below 300 per 100 milliliters. Check the conditions of your local beach The EGLE map lists information for beaches in Michigan, including water quality sampling results and beach advisories and closures. The website also includes information on combined or sanitary sewer overflows, which lead to partially treated or untreated sewage being released into rivers and streams. Why do officials check for E. coli? Generally, coliforms are bacteria that are not harmful and are naturally present in the environment, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. They are used as an indicator that other, potentially harmful, fecal bacteria (indicated by the E. coli species) could be present. If any routine or repeat sample is total coliform positive or present, the system (i.e., the lab) must further analyze that sample to determine whether E. coli are present. E. coli is a more specific indicator of fecal contamination and is a potentially more harmful pathogen than other bacteria typically found in the coliform group. Consumption of or contact with water contaminated with feces of warm-blooded animals can cause a variety of illnesses, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Minor gastrointestinal discomfort is probably the most common symptom; however, pathogens that may cause only minor sickness in some people may cause serious conditions or death in others, especially in the very young, old, or those with weakened immune systems. What is swimmer's itch? Does E. coli cause it? Swimmer's itch is a skin rash caused by an allergic reaction to microscopic parasites that infect some birds and mammals, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Swimmer's itch is often incorrectly attributed to E. coli exposure, according to the Clean Lakes Alliance. Symptoms can include: Tingling, burning or itching of the skin Small reddish pimples Small blisters What can I do about swimmer's itch? Swimmer's itch typically clears up on its own within a week. If the itching is severe, your health care provider may recommend prescription-strength lotions or creams, the Mayo Clinic said. Some home treatments may provide relief until it goes away: Apply a corticosteroid cream or an anti-itch lotion, such as those that contain calamine. Take an oral nonprescription antihistamine (Benadryl) or one with loratadine (Alavert, Claritin, others). Avoid scratching the rash. Cover affected areas with a clean, damp washcloth. Soak in a bath sprinkled with Epsom salts, baking soda or an oatmeal-based bath product (Aveeno, others). Make a paste of baking soda and water, and then apply it to the affected skin.

City centre car park full as busy summer holiday kicks off
Westgate Oxford's car park is full as the busy summer holiday rush kicks off. The 1,000-space car park is once again at full capacity this afternoon (Friday, August 1) as shoppers take to the city centre. A statement from Oxfordshire County Council issued at 12.45pm said: "The Westgate Oxford car park is full. "Please use your nearest park and ride: Park and rides are available at Thornhill OX3 8DP, Redbridge OX1 4XG, Peartree OX2 8JF, Oxford Parkway OX2 8HE and Seacourt OX2 0HP. Last month, the car park was recorded full almost one in three days – all before schools had even broken up. Responding to questions from this newspaper on whether Westgate would expand or build a new car park, a spokeswoman ruled it out. She said: "We work closely with [[Oxfordshire County Council]] to manage traffic around the centre and have a transport plan in place, which includes measures to pre-empt higher volumes of [[traffic]] than usual. READ MORE: 'We encourage visitors to use public transport options where possible, especially during the current local road closures, with details available on our website.' When the car park is full, it causes issues for drivers in the area being stuck in tailbacks along Abingdon Road. Westgate has not publicly offered its opinion on the plans for a congestion charge in the city which would affect access to the car park by charging shoppers £5 to drive in Thames Street at the car park entrance.

Amazon's Newest Fashion Drop Has the Best Vacation Clothes I've Seen All Summer—Including Linen Styles From $8
Whenever I'm planning a vacation, I'm tempted to splurge on a whole new wardrobe. Even a quick weekend trip can spark an intense shopping frenzy, so I've mastered finding high-quality, inexpensive travel pieces that won't break the bank. Believe it or not, one of the best retailers to shop for affordable, elevated pieces is Amazon—and I just found a fresh batch of travel-ready styles. Amazon's New Releases storefront is filled with just-added pieces that are ideal for summer travel. I searched these new fashion drops, and I was seriously impressed with what I found: high-quality cotton and linen pieces, elevated wardrobe staples, and travel-friendly designs. The best part? Since these items are brand new, you're unlikely to spot other travelers in the same outfit. Keep reading for the best travel clothes that no one will believe are from Amazon, including matching sets, linen pants, summer dresses, and more. Prices start at just $8. I'm willing to bet you'll want to wear these 'lightweight and comfortable' linen pants on repeat. Their stretchy drawstring waist and flowy flared cut ensure you'll stay comfy all day long, while the wrinkle-resistant fabric makes them ideal for travel. Best of all, they're available in four inseam lengths to accommodate a wide variety of heights. Pair them with casual sandals, white sneakers, or wedges, depending on the occasion. If there's such a thing as a perfect pair of shorts, this is it. The five-inch inseam isn't too short or too long, and the stretchy drawstring waist will keep you comfy all day. Plus, the breezy cotton-linen blend will keep you cool on the hottest summer days. I'd pair these shorts with a white blouse or button-down shirt, although the possibilities are endless. A flowy strapless top and wide-leg pants make up this gorgeous matching set, which happens to be one of the most stylish sets I've spotted at Amazon. The top and bottom are both classic, versatile pieces, so they can easily be styled separately as well as together. Best of all, the airy cotton fabric ensures you'll be cool and comfortable under the sun. Anrabess makes some of my favorite travel pants, and I'm eyeing this new cropped style. With a flowy fit and drawstring waist, these pants are 'extremely comfortable,' according to reviewers. The cropped length makes them perfect for walks on the beach, and they'd look great with a simple tank or feminine blouse. This pleated tank is a prime example of the pieces you need to build a capsule wardrobe. With a babydoll silhouette and pleated fabric, it puts a unique spin on a basic white tank while still being versatile enough to pair with just about anything. The cotton fabric, paired with the flowy top, will keep you feeling cool and breezy, even on summer's hottest days. If dramatic wide-leg pants are on your shopping list, I highly recommend you go for this pair. Reviewers describe them as 'lightweight without being paper-thin' and 'flowy while still being flattering.' Thanks to the linen-rayon blend, these pants have a better drape than pure linen, though they're still just as breathable. Ever since reading that a fellow travel writer wore a denim mini dress on repeat while living in Nice, I've been dying to add a similar style to my wardrobe. While denim may not scream 'summer,' the short hemline and relaxed fit ensure this adorable dress won't be too stuffy. Plus, this dress is so easy to style from day to night. I would wear this dress with white sneakers for a day of sightseeing and swap them out for a dressier shoe for dinner. Despite the cotton-linen blend, reviewers rave that this staple button-down 'doesn't wrinkle' and 'is not see-through.' I love that this shirt has three-quarter sleeves and a V-neck detail, which sets it apart from other simple button-downs. I'd layer it over a tank top on chilly nights or throw it over a swimsuit on beach days. This skirt set looks so much like a $98 version shoppers love—but it's just $32. But don't worry, you won't pay the price when it comes to quality, according to reviewers. Shoppers rave about the set's fabric quality, effortless look, and versatility. One shopper calls it 'great for travel,' adding that it can even be styled into the colder months. I love that the top and bottom can be styled separately or together, the mark of a wardrobe-elevating set. At just $8, this cotton-linen tank top is an absolute steal. Its breezy fabric and versatile design ensure it will get plenty of wear, and one reviewer wrote that they now own three different colors of this 'light and flowy' piece. There are 30 colors to choose from, including vibrant shades and simple neutrals. One reviewer wrote they 'love these for hot, humid weather in Hawaii.' These barrel pants blend my two favorite fabrics for summer, cotton and linen, ensuring you'll stay cool on hot travel days. Shoppers note that the fabric is thicker than expected, which means it's not as see-through as 100-percent linen. While these pants have a comfy drawstring waist, they do run small according to reviewers, so be sure to size up for the perfect fit. I'll be honest: I wasn't completely sold on this midi dress until I peeked at the reviews. Shoppers are raving about the fit and quality, and the dress looks gorgeous in the reviewer images. Instead of a structured A-line silhouette, it flows beautifully at the waist for a more relaxed feel. The dress is breezy, comfortable, and sophisticated. I'm adding it to my cart for my next dressy dinner. Love a great deal? Sign up for our T+L Recommends newsletter and we'll send you our favorite travel products each week.
