As winter melts into spring, road work is looming ahead for Ste. Genevieve Country road crews.
Road and bridge foreman Scott Schmieder shared a list of roads that need repair with the county commissioners during their meeting last Thursday.
He identified the following roads: French Village, Saline Creek, Dry Fork, Blum, Lawrenceton Cutoff, Straughn Road, Hager, Donze, Minnith, St. Mary Cemetery, Hart-Pinkston, and Burk’s Hill.
Many of them only have one or two spots. Blum Road has as many as 10 spots, Schmieder said, while French Village Road has four.
Schmieder estimated that it might take about a month to take care of all the fixes.

Things are looking up for Manteca but the city still has a long road ahead of it to get finances and funding in order so they can tackle major road projects. Caltrans has taken Manteca off its “do not fund” list after the city cleared up its audit snafu. Caltrans had placed the city on its “do not fund” list in October when Interim Finance Director Stephanie Beauchaine uncovered accounting irregularities that showed some $67 million had been placed in the wrong accounts over the years.

Workers at the Union Pacific Intermodal Station sandwiched between Lathrop and Manteca got a surprise on Monday morning when they discovered somebody that had stowed away inside of a shipping container.
Local authorities were dispatched to the facility – located on East Roth Road – after reports of a disturbance. The Lathrop Manteca Fire District was also dispatched because of a possible medical call at the site.
The person in the shipping container was alive and well, and the matter was handled by Union Pacific Railroad Police and the San Joaquin County Sheriff’s Office.
