Wolverines will challenge for district 2 football title

During a pre-season interview, West Bend-Mallard/GCB head football coach Pete Kapustynski kept it close to the vest when asked about his team’s chances of winning the Eight Man District 2 football championship this season. Kapustynski, who begins his 22nd season, never wants to provide bulletin board material for opposing teams. But he had no trouble letting out a smile when he talked about his enthusiasm for his 2013 squad. The Wolverines return nine players from last year’s squad that went 7-4 overall, 5-2 and fourth in the district standings. WBM/GCB lost in the first round of the playoffs. While the Wolverines lost six seniors to graduation, they return talented players, including a strong senior class, expected to help them challenge again in their district.See complete story in the Aug. 29 issue of the Independent. 2013 WOLVERINE FOOTBALL SCHEDULEAug. 23 at Northwood-KensettAug. 30 Remsen-UnionSept. 6 at Marcus-Meriden-CleghornSept. 13 NE HamiltonSept.

Veterans memorial wanted for bridge overlook

The city of Humboldt may be getting a new veterans memorial following action by the Humboldt City Council Monday night. Council member Joe Hadar said he thought about the scenic overlook semi-circle off the bridge that was discussed at the last meeting. “It wasn’t a big cost at $5,000. After talking with some people in the community, there was a lot of support for a small area to memorialize our veterans in that spot,” Hadar said. The overlook would be on the north side of the bridge, overlooking the Des Moines River and Bicknell Park. “We’d like to have some sort of inscription (in the concrete) of the overlook and a plaque honoring all the veterans in Humboldt County. “We’d like to have a lighted flag pole on it. Our idea is that it would work well with our plans for the bridge with only the footlights along the sidewalk portion," Hadar said.
