Former Boone County Deputy charged in the death of a K-9

News

April 4th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

Boone County, Iowa – The Iowa Department of Public Safety, Tuesday (April 4, 2023), said 50-year-old Dallas Wingate, a former Boone County Sheriff’s Deputy and K-9 handler, was charged with the death of K-9 deputy Bear. Wingate, who turned himself in at the Story County Jail, has been charged with one count of Injury or Interference of a Police Dog Service, a class D felony.

On September 2, 2022, the Boone County Sheriff’s Office requested DCI investigate after Bear was found dead inside Wingate’s K-9-equipped police vehicle. The investigation showed that Wingate placed Bear inside his enclosed vehicle on the evening of September 1. Nearly twenty-two hours later, Wingate opened the vehicle for the first time.

The Story County Attorney’s Office will prosecute this case.
Note: A criminal charge is merely an accusation and a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.

Atlantic girls soccer hopes to raise the bar with wealth of returnees

Sports

April 4th, 2023 by admin

The Atlantic girls soccer team brings back ten of it’s eleven starters from last season and they hope that experience can help them reach even higher this season. The Trojans are coming off an 11-7 campaign last year and head coach Dan Vargason said they hope to build on that.

The Trojans have some good strength on both sides of the field with Edria Brummer an All-Conference returner at goalie and Jada Jensen leading the offensive attack as the school’s all-time leading goal scorer. Coach Vargason said the difference for this team achieving their goal of competing for the Hawkeye Ten title will come down to effort.

The team has been able to work back into their formations fairly quickly with their returning experience but Coach Vargason said they just need to start to get some more movement and use their athleticism to their advantage.

The Trojans are off to a 1-1 start to the season and are at it again tonight against Missouri Valley.

BREAKING: Reynolds signs her state government ‘realignment’ bill into law

News

April 4th, 2023 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Governor Kim Reynolds has signed a bill into law that will consolidate 37 state agencies into just 16 departments and eliminate dozens of unfilled positions in state government.  “Not only will Iowans receive better service with alignment, they’ll get it at a lower cost,” Reynolds said. The governor paid a consultant nearly a million dollars to draft the reorganization plan.

“Iowa had significantly more cabinet departments than neighboring states and best practices, services were spread unpredictably across state government, really causing just unnecessary friction for Iowans,” Reynolds says. “What we also saw was just fractured organizational structure that was preventing capable, hardworking public servants from really reaching their full potential.”

The non-partisan Legislative Services Agency projects the plan will eliminate about 200 full time positions in state government that aren’t filled today and save about 12-and-a-half million dollars a year. The governor’s staff estimates the state will save about 215 million dollars over four years. Reynolds says efficiency is the main goal, making state government agencies, programs and licensing easier to navigate.

“If we save anything and streamline services and have a single mom or single dad trying to get services not have to go through 14 different doors to try to get an answer, then that’s a win for me,” Reynolds told reporters. The governor expects most if not all the changes to be in place when the next state fiscal year begins July 1st.

“I’m not saying there won’t be bumps. I mean this is a huge undertaking, but we’re going to do it right,” Reynolds says. “…If we need to slow down any of the alignments…we’ll do that.” The 16 state agency directors and Republican lawmakers gathered in the governor’s office at the statehouse for the bill signing ceremony on Tuesday afternoon.

Democratic leaders in the House and Senate say the plan dilutes the legislature’s authority and is a “power grab” by the governor. And House Democratic Leader Jennifer Konfrst says the bill was authored by out of state consultants without real input from Iowans.

Big participation numbers for Atlantic tennis in 2023

Sports

April 4th, 2023 by admin

The Atlantic tennis teams have some big participation numbers for 2023. Atlantic head coach Mike McDermott said 33 girls are out for the team this season and 20 are out for the boys team. Coach McDermott said it’s great to have that kind of interest but it has been a challenge in practice to get effective work in for everyone. He said they try to start from fundamentals and build up.

The girls team has some good returning experience with Rio Johnson leading the way.

The boys also have a few returning starters from last season to lead the way.

Coach McDermott said early on in the season they try to focus on fundamentals and then as quickly as they can work in strategy since the season is a short one. He said some key things they want to see in competition early is consistency and keeping the ball in play.

The Trojans have just gotten their season rolling and will next up take on Creston Thursday night. Listen to the full interview with Coach McDermott below.
