Humboldt man killed in accident

Submitted by admin on Thu, 10/31/2013 - 12:24pm

A Humboldt man died Wednesday morning Oct. 30, from injuries received in a single-car accident in the town of Badger. According to a report from the Iowa State Patrol, Joseph Earl “Spud” Colwell, 90, Humboldt, was northbound on Webster County Road P-59 where the county road intersects with 2nd Avenue SE in Badger. The vehicle failed to negotiate the T-intersection and the Buick continued northbound, leaving the roadway. It struck a legally parked semi-trailer that was in an adjacent lot. The accident occurred at 10:14 a.m. Trooper Kelly Hindman with the Iowa State Patrol said dense fog at the time of the accident may have been a contributing factor. Colwell was transported to the Trinity Regional Medical Center in Fort Dodge by hospital ambulance where he died from his injuries. An investigation into the accident continues.

COOK OF THE WEEK - SALLY CUTHBERTSON

Submitted by admin on Wed, 10/30/2013 - 7:48am

I’m taking this opportunity to introduce myself to you as the new “Cook of the Week” editor, Sally Cuthbertson. I have lived in Gilmore City for 19 years, moving back to this area after retiring with 32 years of service from Northwestern Bell/US West Communications. I grew up on farms near Rolfe and Havelock with my parents, B.M. (Ozzie) and Elsa Cuthbertson, and two sisters and one brother. A month after graduating from Havelock-Plover High School I started working as an operator at NWB in Pocahontas. After nine years all telephones went direct-dial. I then transferred to Des Moines and held various clerical and service rep jobs at NWB. Later we went through a big transition when seven baby bells all merged into one big company of US West Communications.
