Is My School Closed?

Updated 1/16/2012: Will it snow in Clark County? And, if it does, many residents, both young and not so young, wanna know, “Is school going to be closed or delayed?”

“The decision to close schools or delay opening them is not taken lightly. The priority is always the safety of students and staff.” Transportation crews begin driving routes as early as 3 am on days of inclement weather; and that information, along with advice from a meteorologist are all taken into consideration for delays or closures. … [Continue reading...]

You’d think once you tipped the scale at 428,000 pounds, you might look to lose some weight.

Scouts are Out Picking Up Christmas Trees

Salmon Creek Christmas Tree Recycling.

While Christmas 2011 is over, I still haven’t had the heart to take down our Christmas Tree.

That gives me a whole 5 days before the Cub Scouts will be out looking for Christmas Trees to pick up.

This year Cub Scout Pack 494 will be out picking up Christmas Trees on Saturday, January 7, 2012. If … [Continue reading...]

“Each year the conservation district holds a plant sale. The purpose of this sale is to promote the use of native plants in your landscapes. … [Continue reading...]
