DWIs, alcohol abuse on the riseWednesday, Oct. 21, 2009

There have been 217 more driving while intoxicated citations issued by the St. Joseph Police Department, comparing the first three quarters of 2008 and 2009. Sgt.

CDC issues swine flu protocolSaturday, Aug. 8, 2009
In an effort to stay ahead of the H1N1 virus, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta have released updated guidelines for handling H1N1 in public schools.
If the severity of the flu is consistent with what the schools saw last spring, the CDC recommends that students and staff stay at home if they have flu-like symptoms for 24 hours after they are free of fever.
Eileen Duty, coordinator of health services for the St. Joseph School District, said schools will distribute checklists to students to take home to their parents that will help determine if the child should stay home from school. She said it is the most important step in preventing a H1N1 outbreak. “If they’re sick, keep them at home,” she said.
