1979 - Onaway Parent-Teacher Organization Present Program Discussing Drug Problems...and...Onaway is One of Two "Most Distressed" In Northeast Michigan...and...The Flu Hits Area From Presque Isle County Advance and Onaway Outlook February 7, 2019

  
CAPTION: Drugs were the topic of an Onaway Parent-Teacher Organization meeting, and
judging from the turnout at the January 1979 meeting, there were many community 
members interested.  More than 30 people showed up at the meeting at the Onaway
High School library to hear four panelists discuss abuse, and see the film, "Tempted."
The panelists were Jean Keegan, Karen Vermilya, Chris Giles and Sharon Lyon.  In other
Onaway news, Onaway was one of two areas in the region named "most distressed" by the 
Northeast Michigan Council of Governments.  Following a survey, the organization named 
Onaway and Wolverine as the two most distressed areas in the region...The flu hit the
area.  The virus seemed to be concentrated in the schools but people from all over 
town fell victim to the illness, and Russell Memorial Hospital reported 60 percent of 
its inpatients were admitted for flu symptoms.
