We have a report card on the progress of this tax-funded operation.The job isn’t finished, according to Madison County Board Chairman Kurt Prenzler, but they’re making progress. However, it’s not cheap.“This spring, we spent about $16,000 to hire a company to go out onto I-255 and pick up. They did a very good job,” he said. “We're planning to hire that same company or maybe another company, if we can get another bid.”But Prenzler says that $16,000 is just part of the cost.

Road-weary Avalanche run out of gas in third period, lose third straight

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:38 GMT

LOS ANGELES — The Colorado Avalanche have been the NHL’s most-dominant team in the third period for much of this season, but this was a different challenge.The Avalanche were playing for the third time in four nights Sunday, and the slightly earlier start time meant even less of a recovery in the back-to-back situation. Meanwhile, the Kings, one of the hottest teams in the league (11-2-2 in their past 15 games), hadn’t played since Wednesday.That showed up in the final period. The Avalanche ran out of gas in a 4-1 loss at Crypto.com Arena, a disappointing end to a winless road trip (0-1-2).Los Angeles had 15 of the first 17 shots in the third period, leaning on the Avs before they finally broke. Quinton Byfield finished a beautiful four-player passing sequence at 13:26 of the third. Trevor Moore roofed a shot from in tight 56 seconds later. The Avs went from hanging on by a thread to their first game without at least a point in seven contests.The Avs were without C...

Kurtenbach: ‘Tush’ kicking — The Niners talked trash and turned in a masterpiece in Philly

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 10:02:38 GMT

PHILADELPHIA — The 49ers waited 11 months, but on Sunday, they finished their business with the Philadelphia Eagles.And they didn’t just beat them — they beat them down.This was a “Brotherly Shove” to the ground and a “Tush” kicking, for good measure.Yes, the Niners were holding some grudges from last season’s NFC Championship Game loss. They talked trash right up to the opening kick.“Obviously, we wanted some payback,” Nick Bosa said.“I ain’t gonna lie, I was in that zone all week long,” Deebo Samuel said.Then they went and walked the walk — right into the end zone six offensive possessions in a row.So while the Niners’ brilliant three-phases victory will go into the record books as a 42-19 win, it was, in truth, much more than that.It’s as impressive a performance as any team in the NFL has put on the field this season. These might be the two best teams in the NFL, but after Sunday, it’s clear that one i...
