Local residents should take precautions to try to prevent spread of disease
The flu virus is in full swing locally, and health officials are asking the public to take precautions to stop its spread.

"If we purchase this year we'll save $62,000 due to next year's state changes regarding emissions," Superintendent Matt Miller said following the meeting.
