Go to GP for flu: Snowball
BUNBURY people who think they may have the flu have been urged to visit their GP before attending the Bunbury Regional Hospital’s emergency department.
The department of health has reported that more than 6500 people across the state attended an emergency department last month, which is about 2000 more than the same time last year.
Department director general Kim Snowball said this represented a very early start to the flu season.
Mr Snowball said vaccination still offered the best protection against the flu and there was still time to get vaccinated for this year’s flu strains.
Party shut down
A PARTY was broken up by police at the Boyanup Hall on the weekend.

Police alleged the group caused damage to the hall.
Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
Pavilion win
THE DALYELLUP sports pavilion will finally have water and will be in use in the next couple of months.
Capel Shire chief executive officer Paul Sheedy said council was looking at putting a 32,000 litre rainwater tank at the pavilion.
The tank would also have a UV ultraviolet filter to make the water drinkable.
Mr Sheedy said there would still be temporary power at about 70 per cent capacity until early next year.
