Staunton residents urged to boil water following water main break

Residents of Staunton are being advised to use boiled or bottled water as a safety precaution following a water main break, the city said on Aug. 15. "The Virginia Department of Health in conjunction with the Lexington Office of Drinking Water, and City of Staunton are advising residents to use boiled tap water or bottled water for drinking and cooking purposes as a safety precaution," according to a notice posted on the city's website. On the evening of Aug. 14, Public Works was notified of a water main break behind Stocker Street. Crews found a large, 16-inch water main that was severely damaged, causing water to be shut off for repairs. "Initial attempts to limit the area of shut off to only a small area were unsuccessful. As a result, a larger area of shut off was required. This created low-pressure conditions across the city and resulted in the need to shut off the pressure zones in the higher elevations of the city. Crews have been working overnight to make the repair and restore water service as quickly as possible," the city said. E. coli, according to the city, is most likely in the water, meaning it could be contaminated with human or animal waste. "Human pathogens in these wastes can cause short-term effects, such as diarrhea, cramps, nausea, headaches, or other symptoms. They may pose a greater health risk for infants, young children, the elderly, and people with severely-compromised immune systems," the city said. Residents should boil water, the city said, for drinking, food preparation and making ice. "Boiling kills bacteria and other organisms in the water. Boiling is the preferred method to assure that the tap water is safe to drink. Bring all tap water to a rolling boil, let it boil for one minute, and let it cool before using, or use bottled water," the city said.

For those with no electricity or gas, alternative methods are available. Schools were closed following the water main break. "We anticipate restoring water service in the next 12 hours and lifting the Boil Water Advisory 48 hours from the time that service is fully restored," the city said.

Former student to sue Michigan State University for $100M after cancer diagnosis

LANSING, Mich. (WLNS) — Former student research assistant LingLong Wei plans to sue Michigan State University for $100 million following a thyroid cancer diagnosis, which the Greenlight Law Firm says was caused by repeated exposure to 'dangerous chemicals.' Greenlight said that the university 'ignored countless safety protocols and repeatedly exposed her to dangerous chemicals without protective equipment or safety training, despite Wei's repeated requests,' in a news release sent to 6 News. Wei and her attorneys, Maya Green and Tilmandra Wilkerson, plan to hold a news conference on Monday in Lansing. 6 News has reached out to Michigan State University and is waiting for a response.

Scientists tout potential weight loss advance using gene technology

There could be new hope for people aiming to fight obesity following a research breakthrough identifying certain microproteins that store fat. In findings published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) in the US, the team from the California-based Salk Institute for Biological Studies said that the microproteins "could potentially serve as drug targets to treat obesity and other metabolic disorders." The findings could prove particularly useful for people who struggle with other treatments such as lifestyle changes, bariatric surgery or courses of drugs such as Ozempic and Wegovy. "The obesity rate has more than doubled in the last 30 years, affecting more than one billion people worldwide," the Salk Institute warned, reminding that being overweight is linked to "other metabolic disorders" such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, chronic kidney disease, and cancers. Microproteins, according to the team, are "an understudied class of molecules found throughout the body that play roles in both health and disease." The team believes the findings are noteworthy because they entailed the use of CRISPR gene editing to screen thousands of fat cell genes to try to find genes "that likely code for microproteins that regulate either fat cell proliferation or lipid accumulation." "We wanted to know if there was anything we had been missing in all these years of research into the body's metabolic processes," says Salk's Victor Pai. Solve the daily Crossword
