An accident Thursday morning about 2-miles east of Shenandoah caused $2,500 damage, but no on was injured. Sheriff Lyle Palmer said 24-year old Melissa Farnsworth, of Shenandoah, was traveling north on C Avenue, about a half-mile north of Highway 2, when she lost control of the 2003 Toyota she was driving due to the wet and soft gravel conditions. The woman over corrected, sending the car into the west ditch and through a fence before it came to rest on a grassy slope between the fence and a field. No charges were filed in connection with the accident, which happened at around 9-a.m., Thursday.

The Cass County Auditor has chosen to designate a change in  the voting center to be used by the voters of Bear Grove Township, Cass Township and the City of Lewis, for the November 6th, 2012 General Election.  Auditor Dale Sunderman says the new Lewis Public Library (located at 412 W. Main, Lewis, IA) is open (official open house to be held on November 3, 2012) and is going to be used as the voting center for this General Election.

Sunderman believes that the voting center, which is just East of the previously used voting center (Lewis City Hall, 416 W. Main), will be more convenient for voters.
