Work begins on Sumner Avenue Bridge

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/30/2014 - 1:15pm

The Sumner Avenue Bridge was closed to traffic last Wednesday, April 23, and work got underway to dismantle the 1919 structure. Construction is expected to take six months, but could be delayed because of federal requirements about the Topeka Shiner minnow. Federal regulations mean the contractor cannot disturb the streambed from May 15 until July 31. The start of the bridge demolition was delayed until phone lines could be moved off of the bridge. Godberson-Smith Construction of Ida Grove is the general contractor on the bridge project after submitting the low bid of $2,064,472.71. The city of Humboldt plans to use $1 million in federal and state city bridge program funds for the replacement, along with local option sales tax dollars the city has collected.

COOK OF THE WEEK - VICKY (SILBAUGH) SING

Submitted by admin on Wed, 04/30/2014 - 7:21am

Vicky (Silbaugh) Sing wanted to do the COTW Column in May since May is National Celiac Awareness Month. The focus is to raise awareness about celiac disease and gluten intolerance. Approximately three million people have celiac disease. Another 21 million could be undiagnosed or have gluten sensitivity. In visiting with Vicky, it is apparent she loves doing any kind of craft. She is pictured holding a tray, one of many items she has painted as a member of China Painters in Humboldt. Vicky grew up in Humboldt, attending the Humboldt High School and receiving her GED in 1976, from Iowa Central Community College (ICCC) in Fort Dodge. She went to college at ICCC in Fort Dodge for Consumer Electronics Repair, graduating in 1980. She later returned to ICCC to learn Computer Programming in 1984 through 1986, but never finished due to shortage of funds and being a single mom.

County considers LEC improvements

Submitted by admin on Fri, 04/25/2014 - 12:18pm

Humboldt County is considering improvements to the 56-year-old Humboldt County Law Enforcement Center (LEC). Four members of the Humboldt County Board of Supervisors (Supervisor Carl Mattes was absent) spent Monday morning discussing facility needs, reviewing architectural plans and examining possible financing options. The facility has a total of 8,300 square feet and houses the E-911 communications center and dispatch, Humboldt County Sheriff offices, Humboldt Police offices and the county’s E-911 operations manager. There is a litany of issues concerning the present building, mostly due to age, building condition and the lack of doors, entryways and spaces compliant with the Americans with Disability Act, providing for handicapped-accessible use of public buildings.
