Fort Madison took a notable step on Saturday toward updating its comprehensive plan. In the Sheaffer meeting room at the Fort Madison Public Library, a forum was held without the usual rows of chairs, reflecting an unconventional setting for shaping the city’s long-term vision.

Central Lee High School’s football team held strong against three red zone attacks, edging the Fort Madison Bloodhounds 14–7. The team’s timely defensive stops in the first half proved to be the deciding factor in a game that saw a narrow one-touchdown finish.
