536 AM CDT SAT OCT 25 2014…DENSE FOG ADVISORY IS CANCELLED…
Officials say gun glare is being blamed for a non-injury accident Friday evening, in Montgomery County. Authorities say an SUV driven by 16-year old Leatha Renee Bennett, of Red Oak and registered to Fly A Cattle Company, was stopped at the intersection of K Avenue north of Highway 34. When she looked to the west, sun glare caused her not to see an eastbound pickup. When the SUV pulled away from the stop sign, it was hit by the pickup that was driven by 41-year old Robert Allen Childs, of Red Oak.
Officials say Childs had tried to avoid the collision by swerving to the right, but the right front bumper of the truck hit the SUV on the driver’s rear door. Following the collision, the pickup entered the southeast ditch off the intersection.
Damage from the accident amounted to $6,200. Bennett was cited for Failure to Obey a Stop Sign.
Authorities in Montgomery County say a Red Oak man was arrested Friday evening on two active warrants. 32-year old Joseph Aaron Nelson was arrested at a residence on Grimes Street in Red Oak, for warrants charging him with Violations of a No Trespass Order and No Contact Order. Nelson was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $600 bond.

Authorities in western Iowa are searching for a man involved in a shooting and was scheduled to be sentenced, but is instead on the run. The Daily NonPareil reports 27-year old Luke Bird failed to show-up for his Oct. 16th court date, where he was to be sentenced in connection with an August 13th shooting in Council Bluffs. Bird plead guilty on Oct. 7th to charges that include: intimidation with a serious weapon; going armed with intent; possession of a firearm; assault while participating in a felony; eluding police while participating in a felony, and operating a vehicle while barred, according to Iowa court records.

Bluffs Police Sgt. David Dawson said Bird is known to be armed, on drugs and a flight risk. Citizens should not approach the suspect and should call any local authorities if he’s spotted. Dawson said he’s been known to hang out in Omaha with his girlfriend.
The Iowa Concern Hotline has been receiving an increasing number of calls from farmers and those who depend on agriculture related businesses. Director Margaret Van Ginkel says that sector of the economy was thriving just a couple of years ago, but weather and low commodity prices are pushing things in a different direction. “We’re hearing some concerns from those smaller machinery businesses that are looking down the road to see how much those farmers are able to spend on machinery this year, and they could be having a tough year too,” Van Ginkel says.
Large equipment manufacturers are also feeling the pinch. Deere and Company idled one thousand workers earlier this week. The phone bank was initially established by Iowa State University Extension to offer advice to farmers back in the 1980s. The calls are free and confidential. “Sometimes you need to get a few things off your chest and just get rid of some of that stress,” Van Ginkel says. “Don’t be afraid to ask for help. You can just call and be anonymous. You don’t have to give us your name.”
The Iowa Concern Hotline is not just for farmers. VanGinkel says they hear often from families who wonder how they’ll make their budget stretch if both food prices and other costs continue to increase. The number for the Iowa Concern Hotline is 1-800-447-1985.
