Petition For Road Closure Denied By County Commissioners

Following the submission of a petition for closure of 60th Street and J Road, commissioners held a viewing of the site after their Feb. 12 meeting. Last Tuesday, Feb. 20, the subject was among agenda items slated for discussion. As the subject was brought to the floor, commissioners heard from an area property owner, present with his business partner, who voiced support for work being performed to the site and the road remaining open. As he discussed low water bridges, the resident noted they would be happy to aid toward the expense or provide labor. Commissioners voted to deny the petition for closure. Road and Bridge is to contact Engineer Michael Maris to look at drafting a plan for the site. 02/27/2024 11:00 PM

Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club

Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club

The Madison Pacesetters 4-H Club had a busy meeting in January, full of member presentations. Member presentations are critical to any 4-H meeting because they allow members to share their favorite projects and allow younger members to learn more about projects they have yet to try. Another significant aspect of member presentation is that it helps members gain confidence in front of crouds, improving their public speaking skills. At the January meeting, 4-H members gave project talks, demonstrations, a health and environment tip and a parliamentary procedure tip. Larkyn Bailey and Grant Fankhauser talked about their foods and nutrition projects in their project talks. Emma and Tess Fankhauser did demonstration talks for the club. E. Fankhauser taught the club how to crochet, and T. Fanhauser showed the club what is essential to be in a sewing kit. In his health and environment tip, Lane Darbro advised the club to be safe during the cold weather season. Mason McDonald reminded the club that parliamentary procedure only allows one person to hold the floor at one time. Another important item from the January meeting was that the club voted to compete in the model meeting contest at County Club Days. 02/20/2024 11:00 PM
