The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency says it will discontinue the biweekly local Fire Danger updates. EMA officials say the decision was made after a general consensus of the majority of the Fire Chiefs of Shelby County recommended the move.
Field work in the County is complete, and although the quantity of fuel which would make control of fires difficult is greatly diminished, officials say the area remains very dry, and anyone planning a large burn is encouraged to contact the Emergency Management Agency and their local Fire Chief.
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) – Iowa’s unclaimed property, including rocks, people’s ashes and baseball cards, will be offered in an online auction beginning Nov. 26. Iowa Treasurer Mike Fitzgerald says that 100 lots are being prepared for the eBay auction. The state has acquired the property from abandoned safe deposit boxes and other sources after a period of time spelled out by Iowa law.
Fitzgerald says the state has returned more than $154 million worth of unclaimed property over the years. He says last year his office took possession of an estimated $27 million in unclaimed property.
