• City of Perry Reminds Residents of Where to Dispose of Debris Following Thursday's Storms (raccoonvalleyradio.com) — Perry residents are being asked to handle smaller yard debris themselves while city crews clear major limbs from streets and parking areas after Thursday’s storm. You can drop branches and yard waste at the Perry Yard Waste Site or use upcoming Wednesday curbside pickups, with specific size and bundling rules. City officials stress that cleanup will take time and urge neighbors’ cooperation. 
• GoFundMe launched for Amaya Marie Tamayo of Perry (theperrynews.com) — A Perry mother has launched a GoFundMe to help cover medical, travel, and living costs as her 14-year-old daughter Amaya undergoes aggressive leukemia treatment and a planned bone marrow transplant in Minnesota. The family, already facing long hospital stays and time off work, is also urging residents to join national bone marrow registries, noting that even non-matches could save another patient’s life.
