Clinton Fire battles weekend structure fire

By Sharon Wren,

16 hours ago

Clinton firefighters responded to a report of a structure fire on Harts Mill Road on Saturday night.

A news release from the Clinton Fire Department said firefighters were called to a structure fire in the 5400 block of Harts Mill Road on August 1 at about 6:37 p.m. Crews saw heavy smoke coming from the area of the residence while still traveling on Hwy 30 to the fire. Camanche, Fulton and Low Moor Fire Departments were dispatched to bring tankers for water supply and a second alarm was paged to bring in more personnel.

The first crews to arrive found a single-story, ranch-style residence with smoke and fire showing from the roof. They established command and began offensive fire tactics. Crews worked for three hours to extinguish the fire and perform overhaul. No residents were home at the time of the fire and no personnel were injured.

Low Moore Fire, Camanche Fire, Fulton Fire, Eastern Iowa REC, Clinton County Communications and 1-800-BoardUp assisted at the scene. The cause of the fire remains under investigation.

I Stopped Boiling Corn on the Cob and Did This Instead

For years, boiling corn on the cob meant watching a pot, timing it just right, and still ending up with kernels that were sometimes tough and sometimes mushy. Switching to a slow cooker milk bath solved that problem completely. The corn comes out tender and sweet every time, and the stove stays free for everything else on the menu.

Before You Buy Cucumbers, Here Are 5 Things You Should Know

Before you head to the store to purchase some cucumbers, here are 5 things that you should know. 1. What Types of Cucumbers Can You Find at the Store?. There are 3 main types of cucumbers that you can find in grocery stores these days. The classic cucumber is long, green, mostly straight, but slightly curved. It is what most of us think of first when we think of cucumbers. They have small seeds on the inside that aren't fully developed. If the cucumber had been allowed to continue to grow on the vine, the seeds would be further developed and ready to be the next cucumber.

The One Thing I Always Check Before Buying Cherries

Learn what you always want to look for when it comes to buying cherries from the store or farmers market. Whenever I am shopping for cherries the number one thing I look for is color. This will determine whether the cherries will be sweet and flavorful or sour and bland. I want to start by talking about the bags of dark cherries that are the most commonly found cherries in grocery stores nationwide. Cherries that are sold in the stores as "dark cherries" or "red cherries", should be dark in color. They should be closer to black in color than red. Often you won't find all the cherries in the bag to be exactly the same color, but the majority of them should be dark.

Trump's Long, Hot, Wet, Dumb Weekend

The headline sounds like a bad 1980s movie, but in a sense, that’s a perfect summary of the absurd, dumb weekend Trump executed in place of an actual celebration of the 250th anniversary of the founding of this great nation.

Yellowstone’s oldest wolf pack, Mollie’s Pack, leaves the park, raising fears for its future

Leslie Patten hiked into a remote reach of northwest Wyoming’s Sunlight Basin in December to post a trail camera where she’d earlier seen wolf tracks. At the time, a winter closure was fast approaching, and the Park County resident wouldn’t be able to retrieve the camera and review the footage for months. When she hiked back to fetch her equipment on May 1, the citizen scientist and author was greeted by one of nature’s most primal noises: the howls of wolves.

While they go for a season, adults can go at any time during the year, and they are signing up for camps too. Yelp searches for such getaways have jumped roughly 350%, as adults search for community and nostalgia. Adult camps can be as short as a weekend or much longer, and they can go during any season.
