The St. Paul City Council approved over twenty- eight-million dollars in road work to be placed on the city’s One- and Six-Year Street Improvement Plan last week, but outside of a small sliver already in progress, a majority of those projects will remain on the drawing board for years to come.

Sunday afternoon, the South Loup River is down about twenty cfs, with a reading of 90.1, the Middle Loup River is also down from Labor Day, with a reading of 582 cfs. The North Loup River dropped as well; it’s down to 909 cfs, although it’s above average for this date, whereas the other two are below average. The fall weather has been here. I really like the cooler temperatures and lower humidity. My flowers are acting tired of blooming and some of the ash trees are turning yellow. Shawn and I tried teal hunting one morning; we didn’t see any until we looked at the neighbor’s ponds. I guess they knew where to be to stay safe.

Thank you to all those, including members of the St. Paul EMTs, who assisted me with my low sugar at the lumber yard on Friday.

The family of Russel Lemburg would like to thank everyone for the cards, memorials, and flowers in his memory. Russel loved his family and loved working for his community.
