New emergency notification system for county

Monday was more than a federal holiday, a chance to remember those who served our country and our loved ones who have departed. Monday was also the first day Humboldt County citizens could sign up for the new emergency notification system (Humboldt County Emergency Notification System or HCENS) in the county. For the countywide alert system, Humboldt County selected Inspiron Logistics’ Wireless Emergency Notification System (WENS) to provide instant emergency alerts and notifications to its public citizens and as an internal communication tool for police, fire and other county employees. The WENS platform enables officials to instantly communicate directly with phone landlines, mobile devices (text-message), e-mail, pagers and computer desktop alerts. In the event of an emergency, a text message, voice call or e-mail alert will be sent to the contact information the local citizen registers with the system.

COOK OF THE WEEK - VICKIE STEENHOEK

Some people are so fun to visit with! Visiting with Vickie Steenhoek was no different. She is a lovely lady and although lots younger than myself, it just felt like we clicked for the duration of our visit. Vickie and her husband, Dan, moved to Humboldt in 2014 from Windom, MN. Dan is Store Director at our local Hy-Vee store. Vickie grew up in Sioux Center, and Dan grew up in Pella. They met while still in high school while both were working at Hy-Vee. They were married in 1995. They have three children attending school here in Humboldt, which keeps her busy being their taxi to and from many school events and sports. Their children are, Ashley, 14; Austin, 10; and Aiden, 3. They attend Oak Hill Church. Vickie is an experienced piano teacher, having taught piano since she was in college. She also is an Independent Consultant for Thirty-One and has been for three years. Both the piano and Thirty-One bags gave us lots in common to chat about.
