By RICHARD JENKINS [email protected] HURLEY — While they may have been sympathetic to his plight, there was little the members of the Iron County Comprehensive Planning/Land and Zoning Committee could do Monday for Jim Youngs other than agree to fund a study to determine whether a permit could be issued allowing Youngs to build a house on his property in Kimball, Wis.

By RICHARD JENKINS [email protected] HURLEY - The Hurley K-12 Board of Education approved a 10-cent increase for the price of lunch at its meeting Monday. District Business Manager Michele Seibel told the board the increase was mandated by the federal government as the amount the district charged was below the average.
