Firefighters from Anita and Wiota responded to a reported structure fire early this (Thursday) morning. Anita Fire Chief Josh Peach says the call about the fire at 409 Chestnut Street was dispatched at around 1:40-a.m.
Peach says when they arrived the structure, a small outbuilding, was already fully engulfed in flames and the flames were in danger of spreading to a nearby garage with a vehicle inside. Firefighters were able to knock down the flames before they spread, though. Another vehicle parked nearby, was “scorched”, according to Peach.
The fire, he said, appears to have been electrical in nature. No injuries were reported. Crews from Anita were on the scene for about 90-minutes. The approximately 12-foot by 12-foot outbuilding was declared a total loss, along with a walk behind mower, a work bench and air compressor that were stored inside.

Weeden was charged with Possession of drug paraphernalia and Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana. He was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on a $1,000 cash bond.
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (AP) – An official in the Dominican Republic says St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Oscar Taveras was drunk at the time of his fatal car crash last month in his Caribbean homeland.
A spokeswoman for the Dominican attorney general’s office told The Associated Press toxicology reports showed Taveras had a blood-alcohol level five times the country’s legal limit when he lost control of his car Oct. 26.
Taveras hit .239 with three homers and 22 RBIs in 80 games this year.
CARROLL, Iowa (AP) – Some residents of Carroll are annoyed when they look into a neighbor’s backyard and see a corncrib that’s been turned into a gazebo. Allen Nieland lives near the property, and he told Des Moines television station KCCI that the corncrib would look nice on an acreage or a farm, but it just doesn’t fit the character of his subdivision. The corncrib is the see-through type with a metal roof.
Nieland says he’s started a petition to have the corncrib removed. But city officials say the corncrib meets zoning and building codes and is legal because it’s being used for outdoor entertainment, not to store or dry corn.
Another neighbor, Brad Kirsch, says the corncrib is better to look at “than junk cars or an old boat.”
A 63-year old Oakland man is set to stand trial next week for murder, following numerous delays in bringing his case before a jury. Online court records show a pre-trial conference for Robert Arthur Reynolds will begin 9:30-a.m. Monday (Nov. 17th), in Pottawattamie County District Court. His trial is set for 9:30-a.m., Tuesday.
Reynolds faces a felony, 1st degree murder charge, in connection with the April 8th fatal shooting in his home, of 64-year-old Patricia Kinkade-Dorsey, from rural Cass County. He’s pleaded not guilty to the charge. First-degree murder is a Class A felony and carries a sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.
A criminal complaint says Reynolds acknowledged shooting Kinkade-Dorsey after an argument. Last week, Reynolds’ attorney filed a request by Reynolds to confront any and all witnesses to the shooting.
