Wind chill expected to hit below negative 50 today

 

As the sun rises over NFV High School Tuesday morning, the once bustling campus is dead silent thanks to bitterly cold temperatures closing the school through at least Wednesday. With wind chill values expected to reach below negative 50 degrees at points on Tuesday and Wednesday, northeast Iowa residents are encouraged to stay indoors. With temperatures that low, exposed skin can become frostbitten within five minutes.  LeAnn Larson Photo

Fayette County is continuing to move forward with building a new Secondary Roads Maintenance Facility. 

At their regular meeting on Monday, Jan. 28, the Fayette County Supervisors were told by Fayette County Engineer Joel Fantz that he had put $2.3 million in next fiscal year’s budget to build a of a new county shop. 

Fantz is currently working on securing an architect to come up with a drawing of the building before he can provide actual dollar figures on what the new shop will cost. However, after the meeting he said he has $2.9 million to complete the project without raising taxes or sacrificing projects currently scheduled. That $2.9 million comes from savings that Fantz has been able to capture by looking at the way his department was doing business and making changes.

The South Winn wrestling team traveled to Starmont on Thursday for quad action against Central City, Edgewood-Colesburg, and Starmont. The Warriors walked away with a 3-0 mark on the night and were led by sophomore Zach Taylor who went 2-0 with a pair of falls (as well as a win by forfeit).

The Warriors were scheduled to compete at the Alburnett Invitational on Saturday; however, the tournament was cancelled due to unfavorable road conditions.

South Winn will return to the mat Thursday as it takes on Central Springs, North Butler, and Riceville.
