OPINION

Warnings important on aging county bridges Harvest is well on its way in Winnebago County, and the agricultural traffic is at its typical seasonal peak. Agricultural and Agbusiness traffic is the primary use for many miles of county roadways, and supporting that traffic is a major focus for the county’s road maintenance budget. However, budget limitations faced by county governments statewide prevent ideal conditions for roads and bridges.

The annual bridge inspection report for Winnebago County was delivered in October. County Engineer Scott Meinders says, while the contents of the report are not alarming, bridges are aging and require constant attention.

A large majority of County bridges are built from treated timber and were built in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. Meinders says the construction is relatively basic as far as bridges go. Timber pilings, similar to telephone poles, are pounded into the ground in rows perpendicular to the road. On top of the pilings, the bridge deck is built from a series of crisscrossing layers of planks.

“When the bridges were built, they were capable of supporting about any legal load, but over time, moisture and pests caused a range of timber decay; most prominently found in the pilings at the normal water level,” said Meinders.

Each year, bridges are evaluated for remaining load bearing capacity.

Weight limits are posted at the bridges, if necessary, according to those recommendations; typically 26 tons or less. In the interest of safety and structure preservation, all farmers, haulers, buses and other motorists are urged to obey the posted weight limits.

Currently in Winnebago County, weight limit postings range from 26 tons to eight tons and dramatically limit the use of those bridges. Many

grain combines weigh between 15 and 16 tons, depending on make and model, with some reaching nearly 20 tons. Large tractors pulling implements are very similar. Even a loaded school bus can reach 16 tons or more. Most importantly, Meinders says loaded semis, fertilizer applicators, tank wagons, grain carts, and other materialloaded vehicles can exceed weight postings by double or more.

“The safe strategy is to discontinue use of posted bridges until they are replaced, but obtaining definite equipment weights and working in cooperation with the County Engineer’s office is the most effective way to work through the inconvenience,” said Meinders.

“In most cases, the bridge decks are in good condition, potentially creating a false opinion of stability,” said Meinders. “Conversely, in many cases, one or more of the pilings underneath are entirely rotten or broken like an old fence post. In other cases, all pilings have significant decay. The posted weight limits are not only legally applicable to everyone, including farmers, but also the threshold for which a heavier load could collapse the bridge. Weight limits are difficult to enforce, but violating the safe limit is not worth risking a life.”

The County maintains about 100 bridges and large culverts. Despite more than 40 replacements in the last four years, 29 bridges remain posted with weight limits of 26 tons or less. The County will make several changes to weight limit postings by the end of the year, including six new and four lowered postings.

A new bridge will be built on 200th Street northwest of Lake Mills in early 2015, and several bridges will be replaced by culverts annually, but Meinders says keeping bridges functional is an ongoing chase.

Weight limits are currently posted at 29 bridges in Winnebago County, and signs will be posted at six more bridges by the end of the year.

10 Years Ago Tribune Files of Wednesday, November 13, 2003 Rev. David Langer, pastor of the First Congregational Church in Buffalo Center has been called to active duty as a captain in the chaplaincy of the United States Army.

Timely Mission Nursing Home has its long awaited and anticipated gazebo in place at the northeast corner of the Home proper, adjacent to the north end of the parking lot, situated on a slab of concrete poured for this express purpose. Material for the structure was supplied through DeVries Lumber Co. and the firm of Heitland and Heitland Construction built the gazebo, completed October 23 after a startup date of October 15. The gazebo fund was launched with a donation of $100 from Jerome Serhagl in memory of his aunt, Frances Serhagl, a TMNH resident for several years.

Decaying timber pilings led the County to post a 20 ton weight limit on this bridge.

Ladies Literary Circle to travel to Algona November 19 The Ladies Literary Circle of Buffalo Center will begin the observance of the holiday season this year on Tuesday, November 19 with a trip to Algona to visit the world famous nativity scene in its new setting.

The Prisoner of War carvings yearly attract world wide attention in their original setting at the fairgrounds. Now, a new building has been built to house the nearly life-sized figures of Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus and surroundings.

The carvings were done by German prisoners of war while held captive in Algona. Some of those prisoners have since returned for a visit to see their work.

Literary Circle members of Buffalo Center will meet at 9:30 a.m. at the Heritage Town Center to carpool to Algona. The museum is open to the public during December, but a special visit has been arranged for November 19. There is a nominal charge of $3.00 per person.

The group will also have lunch in Algona.

For information and reservations, contact Betty Heyer at 641-5622284.

Middle schoolers record winning football season

The 18-member North Iowa Middle School football team had a winning season in 2013, finishing with a 4-2 record. The Bison outscored their opponents 192-170 overall for the season. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grew as a team, and we were fortunate to not have any serious injuries to any of our players,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Steve Bergeson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Athletics, especially at the middle school level, is about learning the fundamentals of the game; how to play as a team, and to always practice good sportsmanship. That is the way we played all season, and we had a successful season. If these players stay out for football and are combined with the freshmen out for football, they should be very competitive at the varsity level in years to come.â&#x20AC;?

Front from left are: Riley Cobb, JB Lentz, Clayton Henn, Kevin Hassebroek, Isiah Walk, Trinity Landheer-Campbell, Brett Walton, Nathan Beenken, Jacob Koppen and Dallas Smith. Back Row: Nick Sabin, Logan Leesch, Damon Olsen, Isaac Embrock, Tristan Tabb, Taylor Bauman, Thomas Blodgett, Jordan Boekelman and Coach Steve Bergeson. Not pictured is Coach Zach Meinders.

Kurtzleben wins Mason City marathon Danielle Kurtzleben was the winner of the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s division of the 15th and final Newman Marathon held Sunday, Oct. 13 in Mason City.

Kurtzleben, the daughter of John and Emogene Kurtzleben of Titonka, is a 2001 graduate of North Iowa High School, where she ran track and cross country.

This was her 13th marathon overall. She has also participated in marathons in the Twin Cities, Boston, Washington, DC, and Duluth, MN. She says she also did a 50-mile race in Maryland a few years ago.

Kurtzleben now lives in Washington, D.C., where she is a journalist for U.S. News & World Report. She came back to north Iowa last month to run in the marathon and visit family and friends.

Charlie Baker (Zach Dirksen), resulting in some rather strange behavior at breakfast during the North Iowa High School production of Larry Shueâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Foreignerâ&#x20AC;?. The play was held last Friday and Saturday, Nov. 8 & 9, in the North Iowa Auditorium.

Charlie (Zach Dirksen, left) turns tables on the Klansmen with some simple tricks staged by Ella and Catherine Simms.
