Purkey Class Of WDRL At Boone County Fair
July 15, 2009
Fast.
Fast track. Fast cars. Fast Late Model racing action.
That sums up Sunday’s annual appearance by the World Dirt Racing League at Albion’s Boone County Raceway in conjunction with the Boone County Fair.
And no one was faster than Kansas driver Al Purkey, who dominated the evening and took home the $5,000 top prize for winning the 50-lap A Main Feature finale.
The stars and cars of the WDRL enjoyed an impeccably prepared race track, warm temperatures and sunny skies, setting up rapid, entertaining action on the 8th stop of the tour’s 2009 schedule. Read more

Sewer, water contracts awarded for new subdivision
July 14, 2009
At the July meeting of the Petersburg Village Board, it was brought to the board’s attention that the survey completed on the Koch Subdivision had not been a complete survey of all the 9.14 acres of land. The development group will not be purchasing any more than the 5.24 acres for housing, but the entire parcel must be surveyed. Zoning Director Barb Hanson explained the Planning Commission had given their approval, but a full survey is requested. The water and sewer projects may move forward. John Zwingman will redraw the platting and complete the area survey. With a motion by Trustee Alan Temme and second by Trustee Allen Thorberg, Scott’s Backhoe and Well Repair was awarded the contract at a cost of $27,744.87 for water. Also, a motion was made by Trustee Steve Faust and second by Trustee Pat Seier that the $24,967.69 contract for the sewer was also awarded to Preister. It was noted that he will also do a compaction test. Read more

Date set for computer recycling
July 14, 2009
PrairieLand Resource Conservation & Development (RC&D) will hold its third used computer collection on Aug. 4 and 5, 2009 at the Madison County Fairgrounds. PrairieLand RC&D was awarded $8,450 in grant funds from the Nebraska Department of Environmental Quality to collect used computers and small electronics.
Last year, over 40,000 pounds of unwanted computers, TVs and electronics were collected. Individuals, schools and business are encouraged to bring in used electronics and other recyclables. It is important to keep the toxic and long-lasting materials found in the electronic equipment from being taken to the landfills.
