What we know about the deadly bridge collapse
SUMMARY: A bridge collapsed on Highway 149 in Simpson County, resulting in the deaths of three construction workers and serious injuries to three others. The bridge had been closed since September, and contracted workers were removing concrete when it fell. Emergency management faced challenges during the rescue due to the unstable scene. The deceased workers were identified as Kevin Malone, Charles Ingleharte, and Charles Badger, all employed by T.L. Wallace, the contractor for MDOT. Investigators, including OSHA, are looking into the incident, focusing on the bridge’s long history since its construction in the late 1940s or early 1950s.

MCC's Precision Machining Program receives donation from Gorilla Mill
SUMMARY: Meridan Community College’s Jean Hall Advanced Manufacturing Center received a significant donation from Guerilla Mill, a Wisconsin-based tool manufacturer known for high-quality cutting tools. Program Coordinator Brian Warren stated that this contribution is crucial for the program, especially amid rising inflation and material costs, as well as an increasing student enrollment. The donation, valued in the thousands, greatly alleviates the budget, allowing the center to prioritize the purchase of materials instead of cutting tools. The Gan HW Center trains students in precision machining and metalwork and is located in the MCC Riley Workforce Development Center.
