Flu Prevention IdeasThe state Department of Health is urging residents to get a flu vaccine before the end of the month to protect against this potentially deadly illness. Last year, the Commonwealth reported 122,000 cases of the flu and 258 deaths. While vaccination is considered the best method of prevention, residents are also encouraged to practice healthy habits like covering your mouth and nose when you cough or sneeze, frequently washing your hands during flu season and remembering to disinfect commonly touched objects such as door knobs, light switches, countertops, cell phones and computers. Residents who become sick with the flu will experience symptoms such as fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, nasal congestion and body aches. Anyone suffering from the flu should stay home and rest to avoid spreading the illness and aid in their own recovery. Additional information about staying healthy during flu season is available here. Band Luncheon......Members of the Pen Argyl and Bangor Bands enjoy lunch Thursday in the A-gym at Pen Argyl High School. The bands played the National Anthem, both alma maters, the school fight songs and more. PHOTO GALLERY Sbtt Photos Emily Dario. SEE VIDEO BELOW
