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. 
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.

SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say a Sioux City woman who approached her husband for a kiss instead bit and tore his lower lip. Court records say 59-year-old Carol Smith is charged with felony willful injury. The documents say the incident occurred in the couple’s Sioux City home on May 24 last year. Police say Smith’s husband required plastic surgery and say his psychologist reports that the man now suffers from a post-traumatic stress disorder. Smith’s next court appearance is scheduled for April 15.
