It’s been a while since I posted a blog. It’s easy to get so busy that this online feature becomes an after thought.
It’s taken my brain a lot of convincing that today — after the three-day holiday weekend — that today is Tuesday. It also seems surreal that it is June 1. May seemed to fly by in a flurry of activity. And May in Kearney went out with a bang.
Friday, May 28, was anything but routine. On Friday morning I learned there were still many people — including City Hall — without Internet service. FairPoint Communications had a major outage last week, affecting many individual and business customers.
Also Friday, the school district announced the new principal for Southview Elementary School, despite Melanie Brock’s attempt at legal moves to keep her job — or at least delay things until she and the distract had a better understanding of why her contract was not being renewed for the 2010-2011 school year.
Friday was also the last day of school for Kearney R-1 School District. Without missing a beat, the summer session for elementary school starts today, June 1.
You can find coverage of all these things in The Kearney Courier this week. Other things you can find in this week’s Courier after a busy week include information about Holt’s new police chief, road closures and openings due to construction in the area and information about this weekend’s annual Relay for Life.
Also this past the weekend was the first city-sponsored event at the Kearney Amphitheater with the annual Blues Festival.
Things have been busy in Kearney and I don’t see any signs of it slowing down in June.
