Tonight, Crittenden Health Systems is having its annual meeting and dinner. It's a great time to hear what's happening at our local healthcare facility.
Additionally, CHS is offering free health fairs for any business in town. Their employees will come in to your business, set up shop and check blood pressure, cholesterol and heart rates of employees and/or patrons. At the last health fair, at Par 4 Plastics, CHS staff identified four people who needed to seek further testing immediately. They may have indeed saved a life.
Also tonight, the Crittenden School Board meets. It will be figuring out an amended calendar thanks to snow days this winter. The board will decided whether to take off days from spring break, or require students to go to school on holidays and/or Saturdays between now and June. Chances are, they will decide to go a Saturday or two, and maybe even on Memorial Day. Spring break is something of an entitlement and will likely be spared. That's just my opinion.
Another old school issue has arisen this week. Former school superintendent Fredericka Hargis' lawsuit against the school board has been idle for almost two years. Now, school attorneys want it dismissed. Catch The Crittenden Press printed edition for all of the details on these and others happenings in your community.
Also, the Cave In Rock Ferry and River Road in Livingston remain closed due to high water
