By Melvin Martin – NOAA Cooperative Weather Observer WEATHER School Menus City delays OK on audit The Oberlin City Council decided to hold off on accepting last year’s audit, which was presented at a meeting last Monday night. Auditor Steve Zodrow with Mapes and Miller said the financials belong to the city, so they can do with them what they want. Nor- mally after the presentation, he said, he asks for the council to accept the audit so it can be sent to the state. This year, though, the council was presented a discussion draft, not the actual audit. City Administration Gary Shike said there weren’t any surprises in the audit and the city hadn’t been written up for any problems. Councilwoman Rhonda May suggested the council wait until the meeting Thursday, Aug. 23, to ac- cept the report so everyone would have time to look it over. Medication aide class set Colby Community College will offer a certified medication aide class starting in September at the Andbe Home in Norton. The class is worth four college credits. Students will meet from 6 to 10 p.m. on Tuesdays, from Tuesday, Sept. 4, through Tuesday, Dec. 18, and from Tuesday, Jan. 1, through Tuesday, Jan. 22. Cost to enroll is $330. For a reg- istration form or to enroll by tele- phone, call Mary Herbel at (785) 460-5427.
