Ross dedicates season to father, earns starting role at fullback

BRADY ROSS

By Phil Monson
2016 was a culmination of dreams for Humboldt’s Brady Ross.
It was also triumph over tragedy.
A testament of his will to overcome adversity.
Ross, a 2015 Humboldt High School graduate, became a key contributor in just his second year on the University of Iowa football team, where he earned a starting spot at fullback and played special teams in all of the Hawkeyes’ 13 games in an 8-5 season which ended in a 30-3 loss to Florida in the Outback Bowl on Jan. 2.
Before he got to experience running out of the tunnel onto Kinnick Stadium turf as a starter, Ross not only had to learn a whole new position in a span of four months, he had to deal with the sudden and untimely death of his 50-year-old father, Todd, back on July 20.

The Humboldt County Fair is growing and transforming, from a figurative and literal sense.
On Monday, Humboldt County Agricultural Society (Fair Board) President Jeff Hasselhuhn addressed the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors. The County Agricultural Society is seeking the same level of funding from the county as it is receiving in the current budget year, $25,000.
Hasselhuhn outlined numerous improvements that have been undertaken at the fairgrounds with more on the way.

It says it in the very name.
As we start a new year, there is much “New” about NEW Cooperative Inc. New expansion, new services and new faces.
With the retirement of longtime Humboldt location manager Kevin Thilges last year, Jeff Bowden stepped into the role. While Jeff was not new to Humboldt or to NEW Cooperative customers, he was new to the role of location manager.
To read more about Jeff and other changes and new advancements at NEW Cooperative, pick up a copy of this week's Humboldt Independent with a special salute to local corn growers.
