Eighteen years after their dedication, Dave Barry sewage pumps need work

preview

ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENTA Grand Forks sewage station named after a humorist could use some work.Civic leaders from both sides of the Red River named Dave Barry Lift Station Number 16 after the longtime Miami Herald columnist on Jan. 23, 2002. The station, which Mayor Mike Brown and others dedicated amid a tide of sewage puns, was last fixed up more than a decade ago and is due for another rehab, according to city staff.But that will need to wait in line while higher-priority projects are pushed through ahead of it.Until then, Grand Forks Public Works staff might replace the station’s drives, which are mechanisms that turn on and regulate its pumps.“If the drives can get us two or three years down the road, that’s how far we’d probably take it,” Assistant City Engineer Mark Walker told the Herald on Thursday, the 18th anniversary of the station’s dedication. Walker said the station is working well, generally.ADVERTISEMENTGrand Forks and East Grand Forks leaders invited Barry to town after he mocked a plan to drop “North” from North Dakota and the Grand Cities’ “where the earth meets the sky” tourism slogan.During his visit, Barry toured the region, went ice fishing and headed to a large-scale potluck while trading good-natured barbs with locals.He also toured the pump station, which he described as “stinky,” but “warm stinky.”On Thursday, Barry wrote on Twitter that he has never been prouder.GRAND FORKS – The Grand Forks School District is ready to move forward on the Career Impact Academy, but is in a holding pattern as it waits for the federal government to release funds for the project, Brandon Baumbach, the district’s business manager, told School Board members Monday, Sept. 12.Agtegra Cooperative provides grain rescue training for workers in its many locations, as well as a close-up rescue drill exposure for medical students at the University of South Dakota. Agtegra and USD also are supporters of a new program that provides training and a “ditch kit” for rural people who help if someone is injured.The digital application allows travelers to submit proof of COVID-19 vaccination and other mandatory travel information to the Canada Border Services Agency within 72 hours of crossing the border, either through the free ArriveCan mobile app or on the CBSA website.The Florida man had collapsed and was lying on the ground near a picnic shelter after he and his friends were done fishing.ADVERTISEMENTADVERTISEMENT
