At its Sept. 1, 2010 meeting, the Washtenaw County board of commissioners gave initial approval to year-round dog license renewals, with the added option of a three-year dog license. Currently, a one-year dog license is available for purchase starting Dec. 1 for the upcoming year. Dog owners have until March 1 to buy a one-year license before their previous license expires. The board also approved a new fee schedule: Licenses will cost $1 a month for a maximum of 3 years for spayed or neutered dogs, or $2 a month for unaltered dogs. A final vote on the changes is expected at the board’s Sept. 15 meeting.
This report, filed just after the board meeting adjourned, will be followed by a detailed article.
The Eastern Echo reports on the status of medical marijuana at EMU’s campus. Greg O’Dell, Eastern’s police chief, says that marijuana is banned entirely on campus, even for medicinal purposes. But off-campus, marijuana can be purchased and used legally, as long as the consumer has a medical marijuana card. The article quotes Matt Lafleur, who’s applying for a medical marijuana card: “You can find people who will hand out medical marijuana cards like candy. As long as you have $250.” The article notes that Michigan’s medical marijuana website offers additional information. [Source]
The NRF Stores blog posts a Q&A with Bridgett Barnes, co-owner of Ace Barnes Hardware in Ann Arbor. One question asks her to describe a “dream dinner party”: “The menu would be centered on having fun – nothing formal – so we’d start with sweet potato empanadas, followed by lime avocado salad, then red snapper tacos as the main course. For dessert, we’d have warm cookies with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. I’d also serve French 75 [cocktails] and fresh peach margaritas.” [Source]

The ECA is headed by David Dugger. We note the error here and have corrected the spelling throughout the original article.
