(Atlantic, Iowa) – The Atlantic Chamber Ambassadors were hosted by the staff and board members of New Hope on Thursday, January 26th, 2023, for a ribbon-cutting ceremony at the new Bargain Shoppe location in Atlantic.
New Hope originally began in 1978 with a group of parents that had children with disabilities getting services from organizations throughout the state. The parents decided to open a thrift shop in Carroll to raise money to purchase land that would eventually become a campus for their children to receive the care they needed while being close to home.
Today, New Hope has five Bargain Shoppes in Carroll, Coon Rapids, Perry, Jefferson, and Atlantic. The organization has evolved beyond thrift stores, and now offers day programs and services, residential services, home support, employment services, and are working to add childcare to the long list of services. 100% of the proceeds from the donations and purchases at the New Hope Bargain Shoppe help support New Hope’s mission of enriching the lives of individuals with disabilities.

(Radio Iowa) – Pro football fans in Iowa who’d like to see the Super Bowl in person in Arizona next month need to roll up their sleeves and donate blood. Josh Murray, spokesman for the American Red Cross in Iowa, says a special promotion between the agency and the N-F-L runs through the end of January — that’s next Tuesday. “Anyone who comes to give blood, you’ll be entered into a chance to win two tickets to the Super Bowl,” Murray says. “We also will take care of your airfare, hotel accommodations for three nights, and we’re also going to give you a gift card for $500 for other expenses that you might have while you’re there.”
One in seven patients who go to a hospital need a blood transfusion, but only three-percent of Americans give blood. If you’ve never donated a pint before, Murray says it’s an easy procedure — and it’s vital to saving lives. “The whole donation process from door-to-door is going to be about 45 minutes, but the donation itself takes less than 10 minutes,” Murray says. “We have to ask some questions and check your blood pressure, things like that, before we get you situated. The donation will be quick, then we’ll get you some snacks and get you on your way.”
Wintertime is the slowest time of the year for blood donors, so Murray says they’ve tried to make it as simple as possible to sign up to give. “It’s really easy. You can go 1-800 Red Cross or you can visit RedCrossBlood.org,” Murray says. “Both those places will ask for your ZIP code, you put that in and it’ll come up with all the opportunities to give over the next several weeks in your area. You find one that works for you or your location and you’re able to make an appointment right there.”
The Super Bowl is scheduled for February 12th.
DES MOINES – Governor Reynolds today (Thursday) announced that 23 communities have been awarded a total of $9 million in grants to advance water quality projects. Among those communities is Farragut, Harlan, Mondamin, Shenandoah and Treynor. (See a link to the complete list at the bottom of this report) The funding is made available through the Wastewater and Drinking Water Treatment Financial Assistance Program, which was created as a part of Senate File 512, the first legislation signed into law by Governor Reynolds in January 2018.
The 2022 program received 60 applications requesting more than $24 million in water quality grants. A committee consisting of designees from the Iowa Finance Authority, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, and the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship judged the Wastewater and Drinking Water Financial Assistance Program applications based on the program’s priorities.
Priorities for grant awards include: Disadvantaged communities; Projects that will significantly improve water quality in their watershed; Projects that use alternative wastewater treatment technologies; Communities with the highest sewer or water rates; Projects that use technology to address nutrient reduction; and projects to address improvements to drinking water source waters.
The program receives a portion of the tax on metered water and had more than $9 million available for allocation in 2022. Grants will be awarded through the program on an annual basis through 2039. The Wastewater program has assisted a total of more than 50 communities through a total of nearly $18 million in water quality grants since the first awards were granted in 2019. The program is expected to have approximately $6 million in available funds in 2023 based on the portion of tax that will be allocated to the program.
The award list is available HERE.
(Council Bluffs, Iowa) — A structure fire Wednesday night in Council Bluffs resulted in the death of a man and a dog. According to Council Bluffs Fire Investigator Dan Roberts, firefighers were called to the scene at 114 Blackhawk Street at around 8:50-p.m. Roberts says upon arrival, fire crews found smoke and fire coming from the house. They were informed that someone could be trapped inside.
Firefighters who made quick entry into the house to conduct search and rescue and extinguish the flames, found a deceased male victim and a dog.
The incident remains under investigation. The victim’s identity will be released following confirmation during an autopsy.
BOONE, Iowa – The Iowa High School Athletic Association is honored to announce Mike Stanley of Harlan as the NFHS Officials Association’s selection for National Active Official of the Year in 2022-23.
Among the annual sport honors from the NFHS Officials Association (more below) are national and sectional picks for officials and contributors to officiating. Stanley becomes the fifth Iowan to win the national active award, following fellow IHSAA Officials Hall of Fame selections Gary Christiansen, Craig Snider, Gary Paulsen, and Kurt Walderbach.
Stanley has been registered as an IHSAA official since 1970, plus two years of umpiring during his college days. The 2022-23 athletic year marks 44 years for him as a registered official for boys’ and girls’ track and field, plus 42 in boys’ and girls’ basketball, football, and volleyball. Track and field registration includes cross country in Iowa, and Stanley has been as decorated and respected as any official across both events.
“Mike Stanley’s name is synonymous with high school track and field in Iowa,” IHSAA director of officials Lewie Curtis said. “His excellence as an official is unparalleled and he is most deserving of this prestigious award. Mike’s service to the youth of Iowa is seen not only through his life’s work as an educational leader, but also as a sports official.”
As a career educator and administrator, mostly across southwest Iowa – Carson-Macedonia, Midland, Underwood, Malvern, Bedford, and AHST – Stanley has been essential in overseeing countless responsibilities in Iowa high school activities, including serving on the IGHSAU Board of Directors and as past president of the Iowa Association of Track & Officials.
He served as co-editor of the IATO’s Track and Field Procedures Manual, which was picked up by IHSAA and IGHSAU and approved for national use by NFHS. And his time as a meet starter and referee spanned from the IHSAA and IGHSAU’s independent state track and field meets, through all 18 editions of the coed meet. Stanley estimates he has led over 60 state qualifying meets in track and field as a starter, plus 10 years as a referee for the state cross country meet.
In addition to his high school duties, Stanley is recognized as a top official at high levels, working as a meet marshal for the Drake Relays for 15 years, one time at the NCAA Division I national championships, one for the USATF national championships, and more for NCAA Division III national championships and Iowa Conference championships.
