Jewell News

The body of a man, matching the description the missing Jewell resident, Kenneth Heckman, was found northeast of Kamrar Monday night.

Friends and family of a missing Hamilton County man have been searching for him for several days and said the man may have taken off on a backhoe.

The meeting kicked off with two brief public hearings, both with no objection: one for the proposed loan agreement with First American Bank and the other to amend the 2012-13 budget.

Hamilton County Board of Supervisors Tuesday morning approved three employment contracts for county workers and also approved the Fiscal Year 2014 county library contract.

Authorities say 41-year-old James Jennings of Jewell fled a traffic stop in Story City.
