Sac County Jail Measure Falls Short of Required 60% Approval

For the third consecutive year, Sac County voters have rejected a bond measure to build a new jail, despite a majority supporting the project in Tuesday’s general election. According to unofficial election results, the $10 million bond received 2,377 votes in favor and 1,820 against, representing approximately 56.6% approval. That’s about 3.4 percentage points short of the 60% supermajority required for passage under Iowa law.

Iowa sailor who died in World War II prison camp to be laid to rest in Sioux City

The remains of an Iowa sailor who died in a Japanese prison camp more than 80 years ago will be buried in Sioux City Saturday. Fireman first class Robert Shove was born in Cherokee in 1922 and lived most of his life in Sioux City before joining the Navy in 1940. Shove’s nephew Michael O’Brien says his uncle was captured in Corrigador as he and his shipmates from the U.S.S. Canopus fought the Japanese. He was then sent on the “Bataan Death March” to a prison in the Philippine Islands.

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.
