The Atlantic Police Department reports one person is dead following a single-vehicle accident that took place Thursday night. Officials say 66-year old Lawrence Greufe, of Atlantic, was pronounced dead at the Cass County Memorial Hospital by the Medical Examiner. Authorities say Greufe was traveling west on 7th Street at around 9-p.m. when his 2005 Ford Focus crossed both lanes of traffic near Cedar Street, struck a curb and hit a tree before coming to rest on the southwest side of 7th Street.
Atlantic Police were assisted at the scene by Atlantic Fire and Rescue, Medivac, the Cass County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa State Patrol.
Police in Creston say a rural Creston resident reported the theft of tools from his tractor. The tools were stolen from a tractor that was on Park Street. The theft happened sometime between 11-p.m. Wednesday and 7-a.m. Thursday. The loss was estimated at $150.
Officials with the Southwest Iowa Planning Council (SWIPCO) will holding a town hall informational meeting Wednesday November 9th at 6:30 p.m., at Anita Community Building with regard to a Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) for housing rehabilitation in a targeted area of the city. SWIPCO will discuss the application process with city officials and residents of the target area, and staffers will help any residents who would like to apply for a grant that evening, in filling out the application and give them examples of supporting documentation needed. anita-town-hall-flyer
Community Development Director Amber Carcel, says “We really wanted to have a face to face with as many of the potential applicants as possible, walk them through the application and explain the process of the program once they are income qualified. So many homeowners struggle to understand what we need, why we need it, etc. There is a lot of back and forth via the mail, telephone calls, and fax. We hope to eliminate that and expedite the entire process by helping them in the beginning.”
Anita received a housing community development block grant (CDBG) to assist low to moderate income homeowners within a set target area in 2016. The grant is for $230,900 to repair six homes within the set target area. Each approved home is eligible for up to $24,999 in repairs. Carcel says “This amount of money allowed per home through this program allows us to do much more than with our other forgivable loan programs. We may do a roof, siding, windows, etc.” Community Development Block Grants are awarded annually by the Iowa Economic Development Authority with funding from the department of Housing and Urban Development.
SWIPCO is a council of government serving the eight counties of southwest Iowa with public transportation, community development, and housing. SWIPCO is an equal opportunity employer, provider, and lender.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – An Iowa Department of Natural Resources commission has advanced restrictions on the state’s turtle trapping. The rules approved Thursday by the Natural Resource Commission would limit trappers to catching six or fewer turtles a day and bar trapping during a six-week period in late spring. The Des Moines Register reports that the rules now will go through a series of public hearings and administrative steps. If approved along the way, they are expected to be in place by early February.
Lawmakers passed a measure during the last legislative session that requires the department to set a trapping season and daily catch limit. Iowa is one of a small number of states that allows trappers to take unlimited numbers of certain turtles throughout the year.
