Council hears concerns about city streets

Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/18/2013 - 5:17pm

Issues with city streets, handicapped parking and water bills punctuated a one-hour and 40-minute meeting of the Humboldt City Council Monday night. Among the citizens addressing the council was Gary Woodward, who lives on 11th Avenue South. Woodward spoke to the council about three months ago about the condition of the city street around his property and also the condition of 5th Street South, adjoining it. Woodward lives in an area that has both residential property and some nearby farm ground. “Nearly the entire length of street as well as 5th Street South, is breaking up. The road bed is crumbling and deteriorating and the edge of the road is sunken. Where culverts run under the road, it is washed out and is washing out the road itself,” Woodward said. He presented the council with a signed petition asking for repairs on 11th Avenue South and 5th Street South.

COOK OF THE WEEK - WATERMELON RECIPES

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/17/2013 - 7:31am

Summer has definitely arrived with its high humidity and temperatures. There is nothing better on a hot summer day than an ice-cold slice of watermelon. Not having given much thought of the origin of this summer delight, it was astounding to find out that watermelon is over 5,000 years old and is depicted in Egyptian hieroglyphics. Watermelon was even included in the tombs of the Pharaohs to help provide nourishment in the afterlife. This week’s cook column investigates this interesting melon and provides recipes for it. Here are some other fun facts about watermelon: Watermelon is 92 percent water. Watermelons are cousins to cucumbers, pumpkins and squash. Watermelon is the most consumed melon by weight in the United States. Second is cantaloupe and then honeydew. Early explorers used watermelons as canteens. The first cookbook published in the U.S. in 1776 contained a recipe for watermelon rind pickles. China is the number one producer of watermelon.
