Those traveling through Clear Lake will hopefully take notice of new signage being installed.

Peter Lagios first introduced the Clear Lake City Council to the “Ride Quietly” campaign two years ago and ran as a candidate for City Council to pursue the issue.  His bid for election failed and the issue faded away until this year, when Lagios again considered a run for a Council seat.

Extremely dry conditions, coupled with wind, have resulted in a number of field fires in North Iowa, like this blaze which broke out Wednesday, Oct. 14, between Clear Lake and Mason City. A Red Flag Warning has been posted statewide for all but a few counties in northwest Iowa.

Farmers are urged to be very careful about bearings give their equipment frequent breaks to cool off and for clean up.
