On September 6, 2021, the Henry County Sheriff’s Office and Iowa State Patrol investigated an incident in Salem, Iowa. It was learned several juveniles consumed ‘ACID’ or LSD, resulting in a vehicle crash. A subsequent investigation was initiated.

On September 10, 2021, a search warrant was executed in the 400 block of North Golfview Place in Winfield, Iowa.

Matthew Puumala, 19 of Winfield, was arrested and charged with delivery of LSD (class B felony); possession with intent to deliver LSD (class B felony); failure to affix drug tax stamp (class D felony) and possession with intent to deliver marijuana (class D felony).

The Henry County Sheriff’s Office was assisted by the Winfield Police Department, Des Moines County Sheriff’s Office, and the Iowa State Patrol.

Southeastern Community College is celebrating the state-of-the-art renovations of its auto collision lab, precision machining lab, and the new Harry and Virginia Art Gallery on its West Burlington campus.

What:             Tours and ribbon cuttings of the auto collision lab, precision machining, and the art gallery. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres following.

When:            Thursday, September 16

4:00 PM Precision Machining

4:30 PM Automotive Collision Repair and Restoration

5:00 PM The Harry & Virginia Murray Art Gallery

Where:           1500 West Agency Rd, West Burlington

Why:               Total cost for the facility and equipment upgrades tops $1.25 million.
The renovated labs will facilitate expanded learning and teaching opportunities for skills development. The upgrades were funded by the State of Iowa’s Accelerated Career Education (ACE) program.

Open in 2020, the art gallery includes adjustable walls to transform the space to match the art collection’s essence. This space has both increased educational experiences for SCC’s fine arts and music programs and added a new area to exhibit the work of Iowa artists. The gallery was made possible by a grant from The Murray Foundation.

The Henry County Engineer’s office says X23 south of Lowell is open to the public.

The section of roadway that was damaged is now gravel with a 30 MPH speed limit.

It is imperative that drivers use caution and obey signage.
