Cities’ Overnight Parking Bans Taking Effect

Northwest Iowa — The nice weather forecast may have lulled some of us into a sense that winter is far off, but rest assured, winter and the snow and ice it brings are not far away. That means you might have to make other arrangements for parking your vehicle. Several cities in the KIWA listening area have ordinances regarding overnight parking, especially during the snow removal season, and the amount of the fine varies widely. So if you routinely or occasionally park a car on the street overnight or have overnight guests, you’ll have to come up with a different place to park in most cases.

High school mosaic immortalizes Warrior mascot

SIOUX CENTER—Sioux Center High School students were integral in creating a beautiful mosaic tile mural of the Sioux Center Warriors mascot, thanks to grant funding. If you walk through the atrium to the entrance of the gym at Sioux Center High School, you’ll likely notice a large piece of artwork composed of intricately arranged tiles that form the shape of the Sioux Center Warriors mascot, Scor. At second glance, you’ll see that a significant portion of Scor’s armor is a stunningly bright shade of orange. If an upperclassman walked by, they might tell you that they came up with the concept for the mural and helped create it. If an industrial tech student walks by, they’ll point out the custom-made stand they built to hold it. And if Andrew Hobson, the high school’s art teacher, walked by, he’d tell you even more.
