The Progress-Index
PETESRBURG – The City of Petersburg is mourning the loss of a high-ranking official after he passed away from a unexpected illness earlier in this month. Frank Poulin was the city’s Director of Neighborhood Services. He was rushed to the hospital after he suddenly started having heart problems and later passed away from heart failure on April 9. Poulin was 39.
His colleagues gathered with family members on arbor day to plant a tree in his honor. A crowd of about 60 people formed a semi-circle around the Arbor Day sapling. Poulin was remembered by all as a lively character and a strong mentor who could always add a quip or a smile to conversations.

Since the start of the pandemic, which has exacerbated food insecurity across Iowa, Des Moines residents have launched at least three community refrigerators as a free resource for their neighbors.
About a month after one opened alongside a pantry in the Merle Hay neighborhood, the city warned a property owner on 59th Street of hefty fines if a refrigerator-containing shed is not moved from their front yard. In response to an April 8 complaint about a front yard shed, which is stocked by volunteers with food and other necessities, the city inspected the property on April 13 and mailed an official warning Tuesday.
