Mills County “rolling” domestic violence leads to a crash and an arrest 5 days later

News

May 20th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Glenwood, Iowa) – An incident in Mills County at around 7:30-p.m. on May 14th lead to a pursuit, a crash and the arrest on a man from Nebraska, five-days later. The Mills County Sheriff’s Office today (Saturday), said that on May 14th, the Sheriff’s Office was advised of a possible “Rolling” domestic violation incident taking place on southbound Interstate 29. Callers advised a female in the vehicle was being assaulted, and had actually tried to jump from the Ford Taurus with Nebraska plates.

Deputies were able to locate the car, and attempted to make a traffic stop, but the vehicle took-off at a high rate of speed. A pursuit was authorized, and deputies continued to try and stop the vehicle. Authorities say, at one point, the car crossed the median and proceeded head-on towards on-coming traffic, almost striking several vehicles, including a Sheriff’s Deputies’ vehicle, head-on.

The Taurus eventually crashed through a fence and drive through a field by the southbound rest area. Deputies were unable to get turned around in-time, and lost sight of the car. Multiple attempts were made to locate the suspect, who had already pushed the female victim out of the vehicle. Drones and K-9 Units were deployed, but were unable to locate the suspect, who was later identified as 33-year-old Darontae Orduna, of Omaha.

The female victim was transported to a local hospital for treatment of her injuries. Deputies immediately applied for, and were granted, multiple arrest warrants for Orduna, who was taken into custody on Friday, May 19 in Omaha. He faces multiple charges, including Kidnapping and Felony Domestic Assault.

The Mills County Sheriff’s Office extends a special “Thank you” to the U-S Marshal’s Service for the Southern District, and the Omaha Police Department’s Fugitive Task Force/Gang Unit, for apprehending Orduna, who authorities said “was a dangerous fugitive.”

Hinson reintroduces law dealing with animal regulations

News

May 19th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa politicians and the pork industry are taking another shot at California’s law banning the sale of pork from the offspring of pigs kept in spaces smaller than 24 square feet. Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson says she’s reintroducing her bill which would ban state and local governments from imposing standards on the production or manufacture of ag products like pork that are sold across state lines.

The U-S Supreme Court recently upheld the California law. Hinson calls it a “bacon ban.” Iowa Pork Producers Association president Trish Cook says there are still many unknowns if the law stays in place.

 

California accounts for 15 percent of the U-S pork market and 87 percent of that comes from outside the state. The Iowa Pork Producer Association say the state’s regulations have an outsized impact on business in states like Iowa.

Irlmeier receives the Daisy Award for being an extraordinary nurse at CCSH

News

May 19th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Atlantic, Iowa) – Officials with Cass Health in Atlantic, have announce that Brenna Irlmeier, RN was honored with the DAISY Award during Nurses Week.  Irlmeier has had her sights set on becoming a nurse since she was in kindergarten. Brenna was inspired by her dad, who was a volunteer EMT and firefighter in the Elk Horn community. She became a nurse in January of 2019, and after working in Omaha at a large hospital, she returned to the area and began working in the Cass Health Surgery Department in August 2021.

“It is an honor to receive the DAISY award. The hard work you put in going to school, the hard work you put in each day, it’s just awesome to have someone remember what you did for them,” said Irlmeier. This case in particular was special. “I was shocked, because of the nature of our job most people don’t remember us. This was an on-call case, and knowing it was a pediatric case, it pulls at the heart strings more. As a mom, it’s hard to put your child in someone else’s care,” she said.  She says being in surgery is a great fit for her, and she loves the team she works with. “It takes all of us a whole to do what we do, and it’s something new every day. I love it,” she said.

Brenna Irlmeier

Irlmeier’s nominator wrote: “Rising above all the amazing caregivers we encountered that day, was Brenna Irlmeier. Brenna was the surgery nurse that took my daughter down for her appendectomy. She came to the room, gathered a quick report, did the time out, the whole nine yards. She made sure to explain to my daughter what was going to happen and addressed her directly making sure she didn’t have any questions. Although my daughter is stoic and brave, it was then that the tears began to well and reality hit her. I looked into her eyes and could tell that she was scared, nervous, and crying. As her mother, I had to say goodbye and release her into Brenna’s care trusting that she would be in good hands. In that moment, I could see Brenna making it her highest priority to make my little girl feel safe. Although I couldn’t be present with her in the OR, I am confident that Brenna gave her best to my little girl. The first thing my daughter said to me when she woke up after surgery was, “that nurse was so nice mommy, she held my hand the whole time.” That is when the tears started welling in my own eyes because I knew in my heart that my baby felt safe and was well cared for. I’ve been to larger organizations with my children before and I never felt that they were cared for with the same compassion and empathy as was shown to us here at Cass Health and especially shown to my daughter by Brenna.”

Nurses at Cass Health are honored twice annually with The DAISY Award for Extraordinary Nurses.® The award is part of the DAISY Foundation’s mission to recognize the extraordinary, compassionate care nurses provide to patients and families every day. The DAISY Award committee at Cass Health thanks all nominators for their submissions. Each nurse who was nominated will be presented with a special pin and a copy of the nomination.

The DAISY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, established in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, by members of his family. Patrick died at the age of 33 in late 1999 from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP), a little known but not uncommon auto-immune disease. (DAISY is an acronym for Diseases Attacking the Immune System.)  The care Patrick and his family received from nurses while he was ill inspired this unique means of thanking nurses for making a profound difference in the lives of their patients and patient families.

This is one initiative of The DAISY Foundation to express gratitude to the nursing profession.  Additionally, DAISY offers J. Patrick Barnes Grants for Nursing Research and Evidence-Based Practice Projects, The DAISY Faculty Award to honor inspiring faculty members in schools and colleges of nursing, and The DAISY in Training Award for nursing students. More information is available at http://DAISYfoundation.org. An online nomination form is available at https://www.casshealth.org/daisy.
