Humboldt Council hears about emergency management plans

Humboldt County will be required to update its hazard mitigation plan within the next two years. Humboldt County Emergency Management Coordinator Melody Larson was at the Humboldt City Council meeting Monday night seeking volunteers to sit on the committee to update the plan. “It should not be more than four or five meetings. I’m seeking at least two representatives from each community in the county. I’m asking for the city councils to help me find those two representatives. I’d like a person who is a historian about the community and has a vested interest in the community and its livelihood. For the second person, I’d like someone who is a mover and shaker in the community and can get things done,” Larson said. People interested in volunteering to be on the committee may contact Humboldt City Hall or Mayor Dan Scholl.

Nearly everyone is back for the Humboldt High School girls’ golf team, which finished a surprising second in the Class 4A state tournament last year. Out of the starting six which competed in last year’s state tournament, four return and all four are junior class members, which include Brooke Anderson, Olivia Birdsell, Halie George and Brenna Howard. “We graduated Savannah Schnetzer and Megan Kramer from last year’s team, but we return four girls who played a big role in our success last year and we have also added some upperclassmen and underclassmen who will make us a competitive team again,” Wildcat head coach Jess Harklau said.See full story in this week's Humboldt Independent Newspaper.
