Reportedly looking at a ‘mixed bag’ in 1992 per staff writer Judy Spooner, the South Washington County School board had just held a workshop to decided what it should do, in terms of that future.
Operations manager Dave Peterson told the board that there was $182,000 left from a bond issue that had built three new elementariness and remodeled Newport. Future possibilities included leasing the former sites of Cub Foods and Country Club Markets for the district.
Touching down at Park High in the district stadium, the Golden Knights U.S. Army parachute had put on quite the show, being invited by the Air Force Junior ROTC program at Park High.
Continuing with local news the Cottage Grove Fire Department was planning to host two open houses, one on Saturday Oct. 10 at Fire Station No. 1, and another at Fire Station No. 2 on Oct. 8, two days previous.
40 years ago THE WASHINGTON COUNTY BULLETIN October 14, 1982 Reported by Larry Cortese from 40 years back, Cottage Grove Administrator Carl Meissner continued to be in hot water, after it was alleged that he had acted improperly regarding the awarding of a fence contract. The Council debated calling a closed meeting to deal with the accusations but was not united in the end, and at any rate obligated by law to follow open meetings protocol. With statutes reportedly in conflict and the Council occupying a no-win situation as to handling the matter, the matter would drag on.
Keeping within boundaries when it came to zoning, meanwhile, the Newport City Council had denied a conditional use permit to Marline Right, a realtor and developer looking at a single- family housing unit on Fourth Avenue. With some thought on the council’s part that the single family homes were now two story houses with walkout basements, developer Marlin Rygh, held his ground.
“I don’t pretend to have a new proposal,” he said to Newport council member’s skepticism,” But that lot is ideal for a walkout basement.” One thing all sides agreed upon?
The house needed work done.
50 years ago THE WASHINGTON COUNTY BULLETIN October 19, 1972 Coming in for note from 1972, was news that two ‘convenience centers’ were being planned for Woodbury. Present to the village board recently, the centers were to be built east of Interstate 494 and north of Afton Road.
Due to cost between $100,00 and $140,000, the new buildings were being undertaken by the Sheehy Construction Company, with the firm of Bergstedt, Wahlberg, and Bergquist providing architectural services.
120 years ago THE PRESCOTT TRIBUNE October 24, 1902 What they thought Petroleum as a beverage Medical Society of Paris Sends Out A Warning.
The Medical Society of Paris has expressed the opinion that it is necessary to adopt some measures against the alarming spread of petroleum drinking. At first it was thought that this habit had sprung up from increased taxation on alcohol imposed by the French government, but an investigation showed that this was not the case: the habit had been prevalent some time previously in certain districts and had spread with rapidity. The victim of the petroleum habit does not become brutal, only morose. Opinions differ among physicians as regards the effects of petroleum drinking on the human system, but all agree on the harmfulness of this new vice.
