Bridge project on hold

Submitted by admin on Thu, 07/10/2014 - 5:01pm

Washed away—that’s the word from last month’s heavy rain occurrence and its impact on the Sumner Avenue Bridge construction. At Monday’s Humboldt City Council meeting, City Administrator Aaron Burnett reported that construction on the bridge replacement is at a temporary standstill until water levels lower enough to allow Godberson-Smith, contractors for the more than $2 million bridge project, to proceed. Burnett said that could be this week, but the first step will be assessing the damage. “The causeway is likely heavily damaged and will need to be rebuilt, as will the coffer dams. This will likely set the project back about 45 days or possibly more, if the water continues to stay high or the causeway is damaged to the point of impacting the Topeka Shiner habitat requirements,” Burnett said. “Right now, the only work that can be done is on the east abutment.

COOK OF THE WEEK - RACHEL HILL

Submitted by admin on Wed, 07/09/2014 - 8:37am

Corrections from last week’s Cook of the Week. Rachel Hill has a son, Jordan and a daughter, Kaysen, NOT two daughters. Sorry Jordan! Also, Scott’s daughter is Lisa Satern married to Wade Satern. “Life is . . . as sweet as a cupcake!” That could be the motto for Aunt Rachie’s Sweet Treats. Aunt Rachie’s Sweet Treats was started in 2011, with the love of baking by Rachel Hill and lots of encouragement from her husband Scott. You will often find Rachel in her kitchen, baking for family and friends in addition to her orders. Rachel is the wife of Scott Hill, mom to Jordan (11), a sixth grader this fall at the Humboldt Middle School and to Kaysen (7), a second grader this fall at Taft Elementary School. She is also the head cook at Mease Elementary School in Dakota City. She has given us a few hints and also recipes for a few of her “sweet treats.” Hints: 1.
