Humboldt alumni hike rim to rim in Grand Canyon

A group of nine Humboldt High School graduates got together for a hike late this fall, but it was no ordinary hike.
They traveled to Grand Canyon National Park and hiked the famous Rim to Rim trek, a 23.9 mile hike from the North Rim to the South Rim. It took four days and three nights, camping along the way.
About 18 months of planning went into the backpacking trip. The nine classmates included five from the Humboldt High School class of 1988, three from 1987 and one from 1991.
“As you might expect, lots of Humboldt memories were shared along the way. We all reconnected in wonderful ways through our lives, families, challenges, emotions and more. To say the least, this was a trip like reality TV, yet every bit of it was for the positive,” Bradley Block, who helped organize the trip, said.

Hog wild: Pig ends up in basement window

Submitted by admin on Thu, 12/26/2019 - 12:01am

Ryan and Mandy Zwiefel’s sow, Chyna, fell approximately five feet into a basement window well on the city’s southwest side in the early morning hours of Wednesday, Dec. 18. The approximately 300-pound pig was successfully rescued with no injuries. Submitted photo.

By KENT THOMPSON
Chyna, the pregnant sow belonging to Ryan and Mandy Zwiefel, gave new meaning to the term animal liberation early last Wednesday morning (Dec. 18).
Chyna and three of her roommates, broke down a gate and escaped from their pen on the Zwiefel’s acreage at 1 Timber Ridge on the southwest side of Humboldt.
While three of the animals stuck close by in a barn on the farm, Chyna, who was named after the late female professional wrestler, because she was always putting up a fight, had quite a little adventure.
