Well, it's a late preview, as swine flu has hit the Leader - I was knocked out with it this weekend. I did stay home until my fever was gone for 24 hours and don't think I got it as bad as some, but we're bracing for it to get the rest of us here.
We'll have a small update on how the schools around the area are fairing as the flu hits kids. Polson has had an upped number of illnesses, but it is not all H1N1.
We've heard Ronan Middle School is getting hit hard, but not closures and not plans to close schools as of now.
We're also wrapping up Homecoming coverage. Look for Arlee white and red to adorn A1. Sasha went down last week to note the festivities and talk to students and staff about how the four-day school week is working out. Seems to be a overwhelmingly positive response so far.
Sasha has also put together a story on the CSKT election primaries and what to look for there.
Aimee has a story on the dispute over whether the St. Ignatius acting chief of police is valid and what city officials are going to do about the dispute.
I got a chance to talk with state Department of Public Health and Human Services Director Ann Whiting Sorrell, who lives in Ronan during the weekends.
She was in town on Friday to promote Healthy Kids Montana, which is aiming to get all the uninsured children in the state covered.
She's a busy and very interesing lady - look for more about her shawls making and Sunday dinners in Home Of.
Thanks for reading - and stay healthy.
