The high school was built in 1919 and upkeep let alone updating are very expensive.&nbsp; Washington and Jefferson need work too though the high school is the most needy.&nbsp; For detailed information, contact school administration or a school board member.&nbsp;&nbsp; A friend told us, \u201cWe are responsible to furnish educational opportunities for two generations following us.\u201d&nbsp; We have fallen way behind with our facilities so we need to \u201cstep up&#8221; to have good school buildings for our children and our grandchildren.<\/li><li>Last week\u2019s warm weather melted much snow and the cooler temperatures over the weekend slowed melting again.&nbsp; If that melting pattern continues, it may minimize flooding.&nbsp; Forecasts are promising though significant rain or high temperatures could change things.&nbsp; Stay tuned.<\/li><li>Spring is nearing, people are riding motorcycles &amp; bikes while kids are out playing, tracksters are running and others are out walking.&nbsp; Please be aware of these things when you are driving so we can keep everyone safe.&nbsp; Remember, pedestrians have \u201cRight-of-Way\u201d at crosswalks, STOP for them.&nbsp; Thank you everyone.<\/li><li>Missouri River Energy Services (MRES) is investing in regional transmission lines to generate income and offset total transmission service costs for MRES Members.&nbsp;
