Slide into Spring: Father Cairns Park to be Rededicated After Renovation
(MONROE, MI) - City parks play a vital role in building community. Not only do they promote physical and mental well-being, but they are also a space that promotes educational and environmental opportunities, economic value and irreplaceable family memories.
After a lengthy renovation, Father Cairns Park - the first city-owned playground in Monroe - will be rededicated. Join City Council, community leaders and neighbors on Monday, April 15, 2024, for a ribbon-cutting celebration of its storied past and bright future.
Father Cairns Park was established in 1933 by Reverend Father George Cairns, the founding Chairman of the Monroe Recreation Commission and the park’s namesake. The city-owned park was the beginning of the beloved city park system known in Monroe today.
“As we unveil the transformation of Father Cairns Park, we celebrate much more than the physical renovation; we honor the significance of fostering community vitality and well-being through our parks,” Mark Cochran, Director of Economic and Community Development at the City of Monroe said “While most of the construction at Father Cairns Park wrapped up last fall, we’re putting on the finishing touches. And yes, we are exploring incorporating basketball in the neighborhood in the future.”
In 2017, the City of Monroe Parks and Recreation Division, with valuable resident and stakeholder feedback, updated its Master Plan which called for the complete reimagining of several underdeveloped parks in addition to thorough recommendations for updates to other parks within the system. Father Cairns Park was selected as one of the parks to be overhauled because of the lack of recent amenity upgrades and its proximity within a neighborhood that includes a minimal number of parks available to residents.
Today, the park is home to a new playscape, a splash pad, restrooms, three new tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a sand volleyball court, walking trails, and new pavilions available for rent.
WHAT: Rededication of Father Cairns Park
WHEN: Monday, April 15, 2024

Monroe County Radio attended the second of two presentation update sessions Wednesday for Whiteford Township residents on the diesel fuel spill at the Pilot gas station off of U.S. 23/223. Residents learned that the Environmental Agency (EPA), Michigan’s Environment Great Lakes and Energy (EGLE), Michigan Department of Health & Human Services (MDHHS), the Monroe County Health Department (MCHD), Whiteford Township officials, National Response Center (NRC), Pilot and other numerous contractors are on scene. Residents were able to ask questions and express their current and future concerns.
Current operations include the removal of free biodiesel product and contaminated creek vegetation/soils and sediment surrounding areas where a sheen was found. Soil boring samples are being conducted in affected areas. This includes excavation/remediation of North Tenmile Creek, excavation/remediation of the on-site environmental pond and investigation of the extent of biodiesel contamination on site. Roughly 24,000 gallons of fuel have been recovered so far that was lost in the fuel line. EPA/EGLE will be on site until removal of the diesel oil is complete and there is no longer a threat of release to the environment. Pilot is paying for the restoration and has agreed to long term testing and has currently removed diesel fuel from its lines.
Officials are awaiting a permit to be issued by the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT).
Whiteford Township residents are being offered testing of their wells in the affected area, but the cutoff to register for this service is tomorrow, Friday April 12 at 5pm.

Press Release
04/10/2024
Monroe County Sheriff Troy Goodnough would like to update the public regarding the direct effect the solar eclipse had on Monroe County, considered a prime location to get a peek of the
eclipse.
In anticipation of the large volume of people visiting Monroe County, Sheriff Goodnough had extra marked units working the roadways. On Monday, 04/08/2024 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00
p.m. 29 marked units were patrolling the roads in Monroe County. Furthermore, from 5:00p.m. to midnight there were 13 marked units available to respond to calls for service.
Local highways and roads were impacted by the influx of drivers who considered Monroe County a destination for this rare event. The Sheriff’s Office began to see heavier-than-normal traffic starting as early as 9:00 a.m. on the day of the event.
On the day of the eclipse, the Sheriff’s Office handled 130 calls for service from 10:00 a.m. to midnight. These calls were as follows: 32 property damage accidents, 13 disabled vehicles, 7 injury accidents, 5 traffic-related complaints, and 1 drunk driving arrest.
The sheriff would like to thank the citizens of Monroe County and those who visited for their patience on the roadways during times of traffic congestion
Reminder: Deadline for Whiteford Township Residents to Request Water Sample is Friday, April 12
MONROE, Mich., April 10, 2024 – The Monroe County Health Department (MCHD), the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Pilot Travel Centers LLC (Pilot) are continuing to respond to the diesel fuel leak at the intersection of US-23/US-223.
Through a partnership with the entities listed above, the MCHD is announcing that ALL residents of Whiteford Township who get their water from a private residential well are eligible to have their water sampled free of charge.
Beginning Friday, April 5, at 1 p.m., Whiteford Township residents can call MDHHS at 844-934-1315 to schedule an appointment for water sampling. Appointments can be made Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Friday, April 12. Water sampling in the expanded area will begin Friday, April 5.
When calling to schedule an appointment, residents will be asked to provide contact information (name, address, phone number and email address) and answer a series of questions about any water treatment and/or water filtration systems that the residence may have.
Depending on a home’s water treatment system, the sample may be collected from an outside faucet under the following conditions:
a. There is no water treatment and/or water filtration; and
b. The outside faucet is coming from the same source as the well.
In these cases, the owner’s presence at their home is not necessary.
However, if any water treatment is connected to the home’s water supply, then other arrangements will need to be made to collect a sample from inside the home. This will be done during the scheduling process. Owners will also be asked to grant sampling teams approval to access their property.
The first round of water sampling results has been provided and are considered ‘clean’ or non-detect. “The initial sampling results from the high priority areas are encouraging, meaning that we are not seeing any contaminants in drinking water. That being said, we understand the health and safety concerns for those residents outside of the initial sampling area. With Pilot support, a plan is in place to expand water sampling to include any resident of Whiteford Township who wants their private residential well water tested,” said Chris Westover, Environmental Health Director for MCHD.
If you have any questions about water sampling, please call MDHHS at 844-934-1315.

Whiteford Township Water Sampling Update
MONROE, Mich., April 9, 2024 –
The Monroe County Health Department (MCHD), Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) and Pilot Travel Centers are providing an update on the drinking water
sampling conducted after a diesel fuel leak at the intersection of US-23/US-223.
As of 12 p.m. Tuesday, April 9, there were 146 samples taken to test for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) from homes in Whiteford Township. Of those, there have been 108 samples reported back by the laboratory. There have been 97 non-detect samples, which means that any chemicals tested related to the diesel spill in
the drinking water were below the amount that would be expected to cause adverse health effects.
There were 11 samples with detections of VOCs, but all were below the level of concern for health effects. This means that while that laboratory was able to find an amount of the chemical, the amount found is not high enough where adverse health effects would be expected from drinking that water. MDHHS is following up with
these 11 samples.
There are still samples waiting to be tested at the laboratory and more sampling is being conducted this week as residents continue to schedule sampling. Until Friday, April 12, residents can call MDHHS at 844-934-1315, Monday through-Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. to schedule an appointment for water sampling.
The MCHD reminds ALL residents of Whiteford Township who get their water from a private residential well that they are eligible to have their water sampled free of charge. When calling to schedule an appointment, residents will be asked to provide contact information (name, address, phone number and email address) and answer a series of questions about any water treatment
and/or water filtration systems that the residence may have.
"We are encouraged by the drinking water results we see coming back from the laboratory that have been completed so far. If residents have concerns about their drinking water related to the diesel fuel spill, please give us a call to schedule an appointment to have your drinking water sampled,” says Chris Westover,
Environmental Health Director for MCHD.
If you have any questions about water sampling, please call MDHHS at 844-934-1315.

MDHHS program is training emergency responders on
expanding infant safe sleep practices
LANSING, Mich. – A Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) program launched in 2022 is helping protect Michigan infants by training emergency responders on safe sleep practices to assist them as they interact with families to remove hazards from a child’s sleep environment. Since the Infant Safe Sleep Certification Program for EMS Agencies and Fire Departments was launched, 17 emergency medical service (EMS) agencies and fire departments have been certified, more than 800 providers have been trained in infant safe sleep and more than 160 families have been reached.
“This innovative collaboration supports the development of education plans, provider trainings, access to infant safe sleep resources, connections to local safe sleep experts and provides wraparound services for families in need,” said Elizabeth Hertel, director. “Providers are trained to identify unsafe infant sleep environments, inform families about infant safe sleep practices and set up pack and plays in the home.”
A Michigan baby dies every two to three days due to sleep-related causes – following safe sleep steps can help prevent these types of deaths. The program was developed through a collaboration between the Bureau of Emergency Preparedness, EMS and Systems of Care, EMS for Children Program and the Division of Maternal and Infant Health, Infant Safe Sleep Program with support from the Children's Safety Network Learning Collaborative to help prevent these deaths.
The Grand Rapids Fire Department was the first department to be certified in July 2022, and since then, with the support of the Kent County Health Department (KCHD) Infant Safe Sleep Program, four more agencies and departments have become certified in the county. The KCHD believes their infant safe sleep program provides important education and resources which contribute to the decrease in infant deaths from unsafe sleep.
"The Kent County Health Department’s Infant Safe Sleep Program has empowered fire departments and EMS agencies within our county to take proactive steps in protecting the youngest and most vulnerable members of our communities,” said Grand Rapids Fire Department Lieutenant Jim Betz. “The State’s certification program has allowed our coalition to assist multiple agencies with educating their members to recognize and address potentially unsafe sleep practices. Since becoming Safe Sleep certified the Grand Rapids Fire Department has performed more than 35 safe sleep interventions, allowing our members to leave behind informational packets, correct unsafe sleep practices and connect families to needed resources via our outstanding partners at the Kent County Health Department."
EMS agencies and fire departments wishing to learn more can visit Michigan.gov/SafeSleep, visit this webpage or email [email protected].

Year’s first Adopt-A-Highway pickup starts Saturday
Fast facts:
The first Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Adopt-A-Highway pickup of the year is April 13-21 for the Lower Peninsula.
Pickups for the Upper Peninsula will be from May 18-26.
Sections of highway are still available to adopt. Go to Michigan.gov/AdoptAHighway for more information.
LANSING, Mich. - In an annual rite of spring, volunteers will fan out across lower Michigan to give state highway roadsides their first cleaning, beginning Saturday as groups in the Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT) Adopt-A-Highway (AAH) program pick up litter from April 13 to 21.
The first AAH pickup for the Upper Peninsula will be later, from May 18 to 26, when spring has had more time to set in for the northern part of the state.
"Our Adopt-A-Highway volunteers come back year after year to keep roadsides in their communities clean," said State Transportation Director Brad Wieferich. "Some of these groups have been with the program since it started more than 30 years ago. We want to thank them for their hard work and remind everyone to help them stay safe. Please drive cautiously during the pickup periods and watch out for them on the roadside."
The AAH program began in Michigan in 1990. Today, around 2,900 groups have adopted more than 6,000 miles of state highway. In a typical year, these volunteers collect 60,000 to 70,000 bags of trash annually, an estimated $5 million value for the state.
Volunteers pick up litter three times each year. Statewide, there will be a summer pickup from July 13 to 21 and a fall pickup from Sept. 21 to 29.
AAH groups wear high-visibility, yellow-green safety vests required by federal regulations when working within a highway right of way. MDOT provides free vests and trash bags, and arranges to haul away the trash. Volunteers include members of various civic groups, businesses and families. Crew members have to be at least 12 years old, and each group must number at least three people.
Sections of highway are still available for adoption. Groups are asked to adopt a section for at least two years. AAH signs bearing a group's name are posted along the stretch of adopted highway. There is no fee to participate. Go to www.Michigan.gov/AdoptAHighway for more information.
Several landfills in southwestern Michigan do their part to help the AAH program. Westside Landfill in St. Joseph County, C&C Landfill in Calhoun County, Orchard Hill Landfill in Berrien County, Southeast Berrien County Landfill near Niles, and Republic Services Gembrit Circle Transfer Station in Kalamazoo have all agreed to accept trash generated by the three annual AAH pickups at no charge. In exchange, these businesses receive a sign recognizing their support.
MDOT's Adopt-A-Highway Program was established in 1990 to improve the beauty of our highway roadsides with community help.
