The outbreak of a possible e-coli contamination stretches across several Northeastern Oklahoma communities.  One of those hospitalized from this outbreak is a 13-year-old girl with ties to the Locust Grove district.  "One of our teacher's children is one of those in the hospital.  We are just keeping her in our prayers and checking on her regularly.  She called this morning with some updates so some good news for her," says Principal Shane Holman.  He adds this is something the community has been dealing with since last week, "I think a lot of people in the community are just worried and worried about their people who have come down with this and worried about themselves. So we are just trying to sort through it and be there for those who are sick."  Holman says he went to the hospital over the weekend and says the school got encouraging news about the condition of the 13-year-old girl who is apparently no longer on a breathing tube and had a conversation Monday with her family.
