McEuen My Turn was off the mark

On August 19, Frank Orzell submitted an article to the My Turn column and suggested that the terms of the contract with Miller/Stauffer for the McEuen Park plan have not been satisfied. That was not an accurate statement; the terms of the agreement have been completely satisfied. He goes on and makes reference to an estimate to create Design/Construction/Bid Documents and an estimate of Project Administration and a Reconstruction time line. He states that none of this was delivered and therefore the contract was not completed. In a meeting I had with Frank Orzell several weeks ago to help him understand the process he told me that he had attended the public meetings when Team McEuen presented the plans. At those meetings, particularly the 3rd public meeting and the Open House at the CDA Library, those alleged non-delivered items were presented at those meetings. Not only did Team McEuen deliver the information to the City, but also presented them to the visiting public.

Getting dental work done during the coronavirus

The question for today is, can I go to the dentist? And, the answer is, it depends on what for. The American Dental Association and the CDC are asking all dental offices to stop non-urgent visits and surgeries to limit the spread of the coronavirus. Postponing your regular teeth cleaning will help protect you and your dental care provider.

Library to hold Spring Fling fundraiser

SUPERIOR – In the finest traditions of spring, the old will make way for the new as the Mineral County Public Library holds a book sale at their annual Spring Fling event this weekend. The event is being put on with help from the Friends of the Library, a group who helps with the library and raises money to support their community projects. These events include the library’s summer reading program, the October pumpkin decorating contest and visit by Santa in December. The sale will focus mostly on books. These will be books with a low circulation, which have not been checked out in a long time. There may also be a number VHS tapes available. The goal is to get rid of old stuff and make room for new stock to be brought in. According to Rachel McGillivray, an employee at the library, there will be something for everyone. She said they had lots of fiction, non-fiction and a few children’s books going into the sale. Around 3:00 p.m. everything will see big discounts as the final sale starts. The goal is to get rid of everything by the end of the day. “We don’t really want to bring anything back,” McGillivray said. Anything extra will be donated to an organization who sends books and other items to Africa to help the education system in those communities. The Friends of the Library will also provide a soup lunch for patrons to enjoy. Approximately 11 baskets and a quilt will be raffled off during the sale. People will be able to buy tickets and put them in the jar for the basket they want. A silent auction for a painting and baked goods will also be held. “Tons of people from all around the churches [and] the school, they’re going to make a bunch of stuff for us to sell,” McGillivray said. Some community members will also have tables to sell their own goods at the sale. This is the fourth year of the library’s Spring Fling fundraiser. In the past it was held in Superior’s 4H building, but it grew out of the space. The event quickly began to need a bigger venue. “It definitely uses up a lot of space,” McGillivray said. “So the elementary school gym is perfect because we can put all our books out on tables.” McGillivray said the Spring Fling has been popular in the past. The library has been able to make lots of changes to the facility with the money raised at the event. “People really enjoy it, they love coming out,” McGillivray said. “It gives them something to look forward to in the middle of all the snow and not being able to go anywhere.” The Spring Fling fundraiser was originally planned to be held on Saturday, March 1. It was cancelled because of heavy snow and blizzard-like conditions, which led to several accidents around the county. The event was rescheduled to this week. The fundraiser will now be held Saturday, March 8. It will be in the Superior Elementary School gym from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.
