HAPPY RETIREMENT HERMINA POLLMAN! Hermina has been with The Learning Bridge daycare on and off for 12 and a half years. She helped get the daycare started in 1999 when it was still at the firehall. She went to Freeman College and got her Associates degree in Early Childhood Development. Hermina left to work at the nursing home, but lucky for us she came back to the daycare to work. We will miss her at the daycare and look forward to her visiting when she can. Enjoy your retirement you deserve it! Best wishes from the staff and board members of The Learning Bridge!
Who’s the pigeonThe slang term, pigeon, is defined
as a person who is easily swindled. But, in this case some may see it as the pigeon having the upper hand. According to the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC] a bidder in China purchased a Belgian racing pigeon for $1.4 million at an online auction site. Armando, the pigeon, was described on the PIPA auction Web site as “the best long distance pigeon of all time in Belgium, and perhaps even worldwide.” But, only time will tell if the bird is worth the price. Until now, the highest price ever paid for a racing pigeon was $450,000, nearly one million dollars less than Armando’s price tag.

County highway departments and townships have been battling flooding throughout the last several weeks and many roadways are currently closed due to flooding or damaged due to flooding.
Road conditions are expected to significantly impact the ability for county highway departments to clear snow this week.
Motorists are encouraged to keep updated on current weather conditions and road conditions by contacting your local highway department. Motorists are also encouraged to use State highways and the Interstate system if possible and use caution when traveling.

STIEFVATER RECOGNIZED: The McCook County Commissioners recognized retiring McCook County Emergency Manager Brad Stiefvater (right) with a plaque at Tuesday’s McCook County Commissioner’s meeting. Stiefvater officially retired on April 6, 2019 after 40 years of service as McCook County Emergency Manager. Over those 40 years Stiefvater has seen a lot, both in how things have changed and in the duties
his job has required of him from tornadoes to floods to everything in between. He’s pretty much seen it all in his years. At Tuesday’s meeting the commissioners thanked him for his service and County Commission Chairman Charles Liesinger (above) presented the plaque to him. Congratulations Brad and thank you for your service to our county!
