The Trevor Frederickson Memorial Fund has donated over $35,000 back into the community in the past three-years.  The fund’s only fundraiser is the annual TFred Memorial Golf Tournament held each August.  This year’s tournament will be held on August 11th at the Nishna Hills Golf Club.  Petty says they are still actively looking for hole sponsorships and silent auction items.

A HEAT ADVISORY HAS BEEN EXTENDED FROM 5-A.M TODAY THROUGH 8-P.M. FRIDAY

EXTREME HEAT WILL PERSIST ON FRIDAY….HOT AND HUMID CONDITIONS WILL CONTINUE ACROSS SOUTH CENTRAL IOWA TODAY.

THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY WILL COMBINE TO CREATE A SITUATION IN WHICH HEAT ILLNESSES ARE POSSIBLE. DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS…STAY IN AN AIR-CONDITIONED ROOM…STAY OUT OF THE SUN…AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.
