MAGNET — The Wau-Col Rural Water project is still moving ahead.
The Wau-Col Regional Water System Advisory Committee met on Tuesday, Oct. 20.
Chairman Kenny Bloomquist, Wausa, reported the agreement for the water tank has been approved by the group’s legal counsel, and Lower Elkhorn NRD. All that is needed is the title insurance for the site.
Roger Protzman, JEO Consulting, asked to be informed when the closing date will be because they don’t want to file until the closing date is set.
Tom Moser, Lewis and Clark NRD, and Stan Staab, Lower Elkhorn NRD, approved the revised easement proposal for rural users.
The letter with the easement information has been sent to the local rural users affected by the water project. Letters were sent to people in Coleridge and Belden by certified mail.

HARTINGTON — Coleridge native Josh Wolfe will challenge incumbents Gary Kruse and Cody Christensen Nov. 4 for a spot on the Hartington City Council.
Wolfe, who works as an accountant at Milbrath-Saylor Bookkeeping and tax service, said he is running for office to become more involved in the community and have a positive impact on the city’s future growth.
“The Council we have does a very good job,” said Wolfe, “but we could do a better job supporting existing businesses and bringing in new and unique ones to the area.”
Wolfe graduated from Coleridge High School in 2006 and attended Northeast Community College then went on to Wayne State where he graduated with a double degree in accounting and economics.
“I think I can bring a new perspective to the City Council by asking new questions and being part of the whole process,” said Wolfe.
Linda Burns, long-time Milbrath-Sayler employee, said, “I think his young ideas are very important for a growing town like Hartington.”
Another co-worker, Tiffany Kalin, said in the time she has known him, he has always been a person that follows through with every task.
Wolfe said Hartington is a good community, but can become an even better community.

HARTINGTON — Dist. 40 Senate candidates gave area voters a chance to hear the issues at a debate at the Hartington City Auditorium.
The debate, sponsored by Cedar County News and News Talk Radio WJAG, showcased incumbent Tyson Larson and challenger Keith Kube. Organizers had to set up extra chairs for attendees, as over 100 people turned out to hear the candidates’ express their views.
Questions focused on five key issues — rural representation, prison reform, economic development, school consolidation and the keystone pipeline; along with environmental concerns.
A self-proclaimed conservative, Kube lives in Crofton and has spent his career as a civil engineer and a business analyst. He earned his degree in civil engineering from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln with a minor in economics, and in the course of his career also became a licensed real estate broker.
