Test Results Too Late To Avoid Disrupting Schoolhouse Rock's Schedule

Well, at least the lab results were favorable:
A definitive lab test conducted in Sacramento has determined that a Holmes Junior High student and a Woodland adult - previously thought to have 'probable' cases of the swine flu - actually experienced a more common variety of the flu that is ordinarily found in humans.

As a result, there are no longer any probable or confirmed cases of swine flu in Yolo County, and Holmes Junior High will open on Monday and hold classes as usual. On Friday, the Yolo County Health Department had ordered Holmes to close for up to two weeks, on the advice of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
So, now the students won't be quarantined.

Nevertheless, because several Holmes Jr. High students are in DMTC's YPT's production of "Schoolhouse Rock", this entire opening weekend had to be cancelled. The extent to which shows can be rescheduled is yet to be determined. It was already difficult enough to work through existing schedule conflicts, but there are definite limits to how far the show can be extended, if at all, because the performers already have made commitments after when the show's run was supposed to be over.

Patience....patience.....
