OLIVE BRANCH

It took the centennial celebration for two political figures often known to be sparring partners to show each other an olive branch. Sadly, this was just for the moment, they are already at it again.

LIFE LOST

The man who was electrocuted while working on a powerline has passed away according to reports. EPC needs to hasten up its investigation into the accident.

SICK LEAVE

Employers in the past week have been hit by some employees calling in sick. The cold weather has certainly given rise to more flu-like cases.

SEASONAL WORK
