Abandoned money to go to county schools
Nodaway County Sheriff Ben Espey recently petitioned the Nodaway County Court to forfeit abandoned monies, which have been collected since 1993.
“The money came from things like burglaries and drug arrests,” Espey said. “The money will go to the Nodaway County schools.”
The total amount now in the possession of the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department is $3,841.80 and came from 15 separate cases. …
The Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department has been involved in various investigations, including drug arrests. As a result of those arrests, various amounts of money has been seized from or abandoned by individuals who were arrested during the period from 1993 through the present time, according to the petition.
The petition said in those circumstances, the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department did not file a Request for Forfeiture of Funds, but rather said funds simply accumulated in the evidence locker at the Nodaway County Sheriff’s Department as evidence within the case. …
“We are pleased to give this money to the schools,” Espey said. “Hopefully, the schools can use it to help the kids to keep them off drugs and out of trouble, since that is where the money came from.”

Graham Community Building opens
After many months of labor on the part of a number of Graham residents, Graham’s Community Building was officially opened Sunday with an open house. The Community Building is housed in the former Kaufman Garage building, located on land which was deeded by the United States to Andrew Brown March 25, 1844.
Brown contributed much to the community including building the first school house in Graham, which is now Simpson College Museum, and spent much time and money building a church for the community.
Joe Vogel Jr., Community Betterment chairman, served as master of ceremonies. Nodaho Cub Scouts presented the American flag and also led the pledge of allegiance.
