(Radio Iowa) – Six fire crews from three different southern Iowa counties fought an overnight fire on the town square in Osceola. The fire in an abandoned building in Osceola late last night and was extinguished just before sunrise. Osceola’s fire chief told a reporter for WHO-TV that a fire wall had protected apartments in the building next door. Apartment residents were safely evacuated. Police have blocked off a corner on the town square as fire crews monitor the burned out structure. The site of the fire is just north of the Clarke County Courthouse, which is open for business today.
Osceola’s commercial district, including the town square, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places four years ago, as some of the buildings date back to the 1890s.
(Greenfield, Iowa) – The Adair County Board of Supervisors will continue to use their Conference Call service during their Board meetings. That decision was reached during their meeting this (Wednesday) morning, in Greenfield. The Board began using the Conference Call when the pandemic limited attendance at in-person meetings. The call-in, access code system is especially helpful to the media and others who wish to listen to the proceedings, but are not able to attend. The system comes at no cost to the county.
The Board approved Courtyard use permits for the April 16th Easter Egg Hunt, “Summer Kick-off,” and 4th of July.
In other business, Adair County Attorney Melissa Larson presented the Board with a proposal for the use of American Rescue Plan funds for “i-Crimefighter.” The program is a mobile and tablet evidence collection system for Law Enforcement.The applications allows officers to capture pictures, videos, audio recordings and notes in the field and upload evidence to secure cloud hosting. It would benefit all Law Enforcement Agencies in the County, at a cost of $4,500 per year, for three-years ($13,500 in total).
She said the app has other benefits as well.
Sheriff Jeff Vandewater explained the system is very versatile and can be helpful during investigations. That’s especially true where there is video evidence available from the public.
The Board passed a motion to move forward with acquiring the program. Adair County Engineer Nick Kauffman requested the Board approve setting April 20th at 9:30-a.m., as the date and time for a Public Hearing on the vacating of 140th Street for one-half mile on the north side of Section 30, Lincoln. The request was approved. Kauffman also discussed the County 5-year Construction Program, during which there were some changes in the cost and scope of some projects. The Adair County Supervisors approved the revised plan as presented. Nick Kauffman also discussed some current and future road maintenance and related activities.

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Central Community College in Fort Dodge is going to use a donate vacant store from Casey’s for the future home of its Biofuel Testing lab. Iowa Central president, Jesse Ulrich, says He says they started the biofuel lab ten years ago and it was one of the first back then and now they are looking to expand it to better serve Iowa and the rest of the country as well. Ulrich says they are in the planning stages after Casey’s agreed to give them the building. He says they hope to get bids this summer and it will take one year to 18 months to build it.
Ulrich says it will allow them to get students more involved in the biofuels testing lab. “What we’re really looking at is being able to expand that into having more and more students take part through apprenticeships and learning from that lab,” according to Ulrich. “And by vacating chemistry labs or some type of classroom space for the general academic side as well.”
The new center will be located on the west side of Fort Dodge near the Iowa Central campus and not far from a Bio Ag center where Cargill, Valero Energy, and CJ BIO have production and processing facilities.
