Court: Defendants must be told about loss of driving rights

News

April 8th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa Supreme Court says defendants facing drug charges must be told that they’ll lose their driving privileges for six months if they plead guilty. The court ruled Friday that defendants also have a right to know the amount of mandatory surcharges they’ll be required to pay on top of their fines. Those declarations came in an appeal filed by Kevin Fisher, who pleaded guilty to possessing a small amount of marijuana in Iowa City in 2013.

As part of a plea agreement, he agreed to plead guilty, spend two days in jail and pay a $315 fine.  He wasn’t told that his plea would also result in the automatic suspension of his drivers’ license for 180 days, or that he’d have to pay an additional $245 in surcharges.

Shelby County Fire Danger rating upgraded to “HIGH”

Ag/Outdoor, News

April 8th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Emergency Management officials in Shelby County have upgraded the field/grassland Fire Danger rating to “High” this weekend. EMA Operations Officer Jason Wickizer says there will also be a chance of “Red Flag” Conditions.  He urges people to be mindful of drying conditions, wind and abundant dead vegetation.

Authorities therefore are asking anyone who plans to conduct controlled burns to contact their local fire chief, first. Be sure and call 755-2124 also, with the location of your burn, so dispatchers can gather logistical data.  Burns should be conducted with fire chief approval during the late evening or early morning hours only, when winds are usually reduced. High Fire Danger

Griswold School Board toils over budget cut decisions

News

April 8th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Griswold School Board, Thursday evening, spent a considerable amount of time during their special meeting, trying to figure out how they were going to cut $500,000 from the budget, in light of declining enrollment and other factors. Superintendent Dana Kunze said the choices weren’t easy to make, and nothing is final, yet.

He said they’ve targeted some things that action will likely be taken on during the next regular board meeting, but no action was taken Thursday night. He said basically, the Board looked at making cuts throughout the school system, and all departments. They weren’t isolated to any one area in particular. The biggest area of savings is $127,000 from the proposed sharing of a superintendent with two other districts.

Inevitably, Kunze says, the people left over will have more responsibilities, and some programs or services may not be as prominent as they once were. He says they probably fell a little bit short of their $500,000 goal, but the totals aren’t yet crunched from the meeting.

Griswold School Board members contemplate areas to be affected by a budget cut.
