The polls at the Library Community Room were busy all day on Tuesday, according to election judges. There were 170 absentee ballots sent in and 508 ballots cast at the polls, for a total of 678 ballots. Broadwater County Election Officer Rhonda Nelson said that was a very good turn-out. “That was the highest number of voters in a School Election (for Broadwater County) in many years,” she stated.

Last Saturday’s candidate forum for the municipal and primary elections offered a sneak peak into some of the opinions of local candidates. The crowd for the event was approximately 50 people.
The event was kicked off by Brian Patrick giving a brief presentation on the breakdown of the school funding and how the mill levy was needed to meet state funding requirements and indicated if the levy were not to pass the only likely alternative would be to cut school employment costs. |

Broadwater County Fire Department needing new Jaws of Life equipment
|
||||||||||||||
 |
When I joined the Department a couple of years ago, I was impressed with the quality of training and equipment the Department had in use to respond to the various emergencies. Now having experienced several scenarios where the Jaws of Life was used and when using this equipment in training, it has become very clear to me and my fellow firefighters that the Jaws equipment is just about worn out.

|
||||||||||||||
 |
A group of community members added new grass to Veteran’s Memorial Park on Friday, May 2. Thirty cubic yards of accumulated dirt were removed to level the west side of the park after the new sidewalk was installed last fall, to prepare for the new sod. Those volunteers that worked hard to install the new sod included Daryl Blumhagen, John Stoner, Bill Hubber, Chuck Harvey, Patrick Plantenberg and his sister Kris from Kent, Wash. The sod was purchased from Kim Martinson’s new sod farm, SodWorks Turf Farm, on Highway 284. |
