Bud's Super Valu Closes After Nearly Five Decades in Humboldt
Humboldt faces a two-grocery-town future as Bud's Super Valu shuts its doors after 47 years. Owner Bud Waugh tried hard with bakery upgrades and longer hours but could not overcome ongoing losses and shifting shopping habits. Manager Stan Jordan notes no buyers emerged and competition among three stores intensified, prompting the closure. The Marks family and local shoppers lament the loss of convenience and a Saturday bakery habit while noting Hy-Vee and Fareway remain. The community now adapts to reduced options and maintains a cautious outlook for local groceries.

Iowas New Finance Committee to Oversee State Budget Process
Iowa legislators move to create a Finance Committee in both chambers to oversee revenues and expenditures. The panel will work with Ways and Means and Appropriation committees and not supersede them. The move, pushed by Democrats, aims for open budget decisions and potential reconciliation amid possible inter-chamber disagreements. Separate actions include consolidating Cities and County Government into Local Government and adding a Small Business and Economic Development panel. Teachers’ salaries are projected to rise about 930 dollars next year, a 5.6 percent average increase based on 70 tentative 1983-84 agreements.
