COLUMBUS JUNCTION Darin Mapel of Columbus Junction was appointed to fill the unexpired term of Jayme Storm on the Columbus School Board during the board’s regular monthly meeting Monday, according to board secretary Neil Mills.
Storm, who was elected to board in 2019, announced last month she needed to resign from the board because she and her family had moved out of the district. After accepting her resignation, the school board agreed to fill the vacancy with an appointment.
Mapel will serve the remaining three years of Storm’s original term, as well as on the finance/negotiations and activities/athletic committees, where Storm also served, Mills reported.

Elementary students in need of winter clothing and boots in the Columbus Community School District are getting some help from Louisa County Ambulance Service.
LCA Public Relations Chair Aimee Buol says they’re collecting winter coats, hats, mittens, gloves, snow boots and snow pants through this Friday, “Kids are at a greater risk for frostnip and frostbite than adults are. The best way to prevent that is to help keep them warm and dressed warm and dress appropriately for the weather.”
Buol says donated items can be dropped off between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m. through Friday (Dec 11) at the LCA base in Columbus Junction or at the Grandview Fire Department in Grandview. She says the winter clothing items will be delivered next week to elementary students in Columbus Community and Louisa-Muscatine Community Schools.
