The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency, Monday, said road construction projects in rural areas of the County require the temporary closure of two roads. 2300th Street, about 300-feet east of the intersection of 2300th and Juniper Road, is now closed for a pipe repair/replacement project.
2300th St. Project
The closure is located in the 1100 block of 2300th Street, between Union Township Sections 11-14. The road should remain closed for about one week.
And, a bridge replacement project on Juniper Road will require the road to be closed, beginning Monday, July 18th, and lasting for about 10 weeks. The bridge is over Lyons Creek in the 1700 block of Juniper Road, just north of 1725 Juniper, between Westphalia Township Sections 10-11.

Iowa’s seeing a lot of severe weather lately and the Federal Emergency Management Agency now has a free smart phone app to help people deal with it and to potentially save lives. FEMA spokeswoman Brenda Gustafson encourages Iowans to download the mobile app, which includes severe weather alerts. “There are several different scenarios that are in there to give you what to prepare for, what to do if that disaster actually happens and then what to do afterwards,” Gustafson says. Once you plug in some basic information, the app can be exceptionally helpful in emergency situations.
“The nice thing about this is you can get up to five different counties or areas in the United States,” she says. The FEMA app is free and can be downloaded in your mobile app store. “Being prepared is what helps save lives in disasters,” Gustafson says. “The more prepared you are, the better for your family, includng your pets.” The app includes information about how to receive federal disaster assistance. It’s also available in Spanish.

A new “thrill ride” at a popular central Iowa tourist attraction has been shut down. “The Monster” is a steel track roller coaster that sends riders through five inversions and features a 101-degree first drop. It opened at Adventureland Park in Altoona in early June, but was closed this week due to “some unexpected maintenance,” according to park officials.
Initially, it was announced the coaster would be closed on Tuesday and Wednesday only — but now, officials say The Monster will be idled though Friday and possibly longer. A post on Adventureland’s Facebook page says they’re “having some parts machined and it will unfortunately take more time than anticipated to have them manufactured, delivered and installed.”
