During the Aug. 12 meeting of the Guthrie County Board of Supervisors, Health Services Director Jotham Arber provided a departmental update. He shared information about health fairs to be held at local schools.
“We’ve got a health fair tomorrow (Aug. 13) in Stuart. We’ll be offering free physicals, free dental screenings, we’ll have free haircuts for kids, free backpacks with school supplies and hygiene supplies, some socks and other things. We’ll grill up some hot dogs, and there will be a resource table,” Arber said. “We’ll also do it Aug. 19 in Panora, and Aug. 20 in Guthrie Center, and then over at Audubon Aug. 21.”
County Engineer Josh Sebern offered a departmental report. He also told of continuing efforts to address washed-out areas of gravel roads in the county.
“Yes, we are aware the roads are washed. We are going to try to get around as quickly as possible,” Sebern said. “It’s State Fair week, so we have some staff that are out, but we’re working on it, in between rainstorms.”
Auditor Dani Fink also gave a departmental status report.
