Auctioned unclaimed Greyhound luggage yields junk and gems
Terminal manager Don Piotraschke explains unclaimed bags are opened, valuables removed, and then sold at auctions across the nation. Items end up in Minneapolis and other hubs, with a typical sale averaging about $17 per piece. Shoppers report finds of Seoul clothing, baby clothes, jewelry, and more while organizers plan three more auctions in Iowa.

Hair damage claim rejected in Linn County case
Anamosa couple fails to win $100,000 against Kathy Melsha doing business as Beauty Box Salon over hair styling at the Marion business. Carla Watson sought $50,000 for scalp itch burn and hair loss and Ronald Watson $50,000 for alleged changes in appearance and temperament. Defense argued damage not from styling and that Mrs Watson failed to disclose conditions requiring special treatment. Jurors from Cedar Rapids and Marion deliberated in Linn District Court before Judge William Eads.

Canada Exports Inexpensive Caviar Despite Local Taste
In Edmonton Alberta importers sell caviar for around 80 dollars per pound while Canada ships domestic caviar to Japan at 5.50 dollars per kilogram. The fresh water whitefish roe, harvested at over 4.1 metric tons in Canada last year, matches sturgeon roe in texture but differs in flavor and fails to sell well domestically.
