CADILLAC â Singling out those students who are not vaccinated, contact tracing and quarantines and infringement on personal freedoms were just some of the concerns voiced during a Cadillac Area Public Schools meeting regarding the start of school.
The district held Mondayâs meeting to gather information from the CAPS community regarding the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services recommendations for back-to-school. The MDHHS recommendations are designed to help prevent the spread of COVID-19 and protect those who are not fully vaccinated.
One parent at the meeting was Nicole McCormick. She also is a CAPS employee. McCormick said she attended Mondayâs meeting so she could be a voice for her four children.
CADILLAC â On Thursday, it was reported that Wexford County added two new COVID-19 cases.
Total case counts in area counties are 2,562 in Wexford County, 1,276 in Missaukee County, 596 in Lake County and 1,706 in Osceola County.
During a virtual press conference held earlier this week, Dr. Christine Nefcy, Chief Medical Officer for Munson Healthcare, said itâs important to remember that people who have not received a vaccination should still be wearing masks in group settings. This is especially important considering the potential presence of the more contagious and virulent Delta variant in Northern Michigan.
She added mask usage among staff and visitors continues to the hospitalâs policy â a policy that recently has engendered some anger from visitors toward their front-desk staff and screening personnel.
CADILLAC â The Wexford County Board of Commissioners voted unanimously to approve the 2022 child care budget, but one commissioner opposed the 2022 fee increases for dog licenses.
Joe Hurlburt was the lone dissenting vote as the commissioners voted 8-1 to pass increases to both one-year licenses and three-year licenses for both spay/neutered and intact animals. Hurlburt said he opposed the new fees based simply on it being an increase.
The new fees for one-year licenses are $10 (December to February) or $20 (delinquent months) for spay/neutered animals and $15 (December to February) or $30 (delinquent months) for intact animals
The new fees for three-year licenses are $25 (December to February) or $50 (delinquent months) for spay/neutered animals and $40 (December to February) or $80 (delinquent months) for intact animals.
