15 Newberry Academy students ill after returning from Cancun, Mexico

A private school in Newberry is closed today after about 15 of its high school seniors went to Mexico two weeks ago and returned with flu-like symptoms.

A message on the Newberry Academy Web site says school officials are awaiting test results to see if the illness is the swine flu, a disease that has killed more than 80 people in Mexico and sickened dozens scattered across the United States.

About 15 Newberry Academy students became ill after returning from Cancun, Mexico, the week before last, said Robert Dawkins, the school's headmaster. All but one has recovered, he said.

Dawkins said at first he was just going to close the high school, but decided to close the entire school after a local doctor who is examining the students told him it was the best decision.

Stupid Mark Sanford will probably say it isn't cost effective to prepare for anything.

5. Just the old ones.

I was actually given two video tapes of the shows years ago for Christmas, and Hyacinth's book on etiquette. Very funny.
