Importance Of Life Jackets While On The Spring River
There is one main function of a life jacket: to keep the wearer from drowning. We cannot get this message out enough. Unfortunately, we have already had three individuals drown while on the Spring River this year alone.
The most recent was just on Aug. 7th when a young boy drowned, just a couple of weeks earlier a woman also drowned. These tragic losses could have possibly been prevented if they were wearing a life jacket.
It is important to realize the importance of wearing a Life Jacket. Today’s life jackets are lightweight, good-looking and comfortable. They are also inexpensive. Only the purpose hasn’t changed; they still save lives.
City Hall, Please Give Us Our Historic Gym Back!
The Old Historic Hardy Gym ain’t what it should be, at the moment. Why, because currently it is being used as the temporary home of CITY HALL. Why is this you ask, we also would like to know, especially since City Hall did NOT have any water damage from the April 25, 2011 floods that caused them to evacuate it. You would think that after the waters receded they would have happily moved back into the building.

Food Safety Inspections – Protecting You!
We would like to think that when we purchase food at events that we can be assured that it has been prepared and properly handled in order for it to be safe for us as consumers. So, how do you know when you attend public open events that the food being served is safe. That is the job of the local Health Department in your area.
The law requires that at the very least certain minimum standards of safety must be met. Even if the vendor is giving away food because the law states (regardless of charge). The Health Department has rules and regulations including inspections to ensure your safety are in place and are required to be followed. Even for Non-Profit groups, an inspection is allowed even if a permit may not be required.
