Pott. County crash injures 3, Friday afternoon

News

May 21st, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Council Bluffs, Iowa) – Authorities say alcohol is believed to have been a factor in a collision between a car and a van that took place at around 4:30-p.m. Friday in Pottawattamie County. The crash resulted in three people being transported to the hospital.

The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2004 Honda Element driven by 28-year-old Betsy Shaddy, of Neola, was traveling east on Interstate 80 near mile marker 11 northeast of Council Bluffs, when the vehicle crossed the median and struck a westbound 2018 U-Haul Econoline van driven by 28-year-old Patrick Drazkowski, of Coon Rapids, Minnesota.

Following the collision, the car went off into the west ditch. The van flipped multiple times before coming to rest just off I-80, in the ditch. Both drivers were injured, along with a passenger in the van, 26-year-old Mitchell Drazkowski, of Coon Rapids, MN. Betsy Shaddy was transported by Underwood Fire/Rescue to Jennie Edmundson Hospital in Council Bluffs. The occupants of the van were transported to Mercy Hospital by Council Bluffs Fire/Rescue. All of the crash victims were wearing their seat belts.

The accident remains under investigation.

Iowa 3-hits Indiana, offense stays hot in 12-0 win

Sports

May 20th, 2022 by admin

IOWA CITY, Iowa – Redshirt senior Dylan Nedved tossed 5 1/3 no-hit innings, four Hawkeye hurlers scattered three hits and the University of Iowa’s offense stayed hot in a 12-0 series-clinching shutout victory over Indiana on Friday night at Duane Banks Field.

The win gives the Hawkeyes’ their sixth straight series win and eighth in nine weeks. Iowa improves to 32-17 overall and 16-7 in Big Ten play.  The 16 league wins are the most in a “non-COVID” season since winning 19 games in 2015.

Nedved (6-2) earned his sixth victory after tossing six shutout innings, allowing one hit and fanning six.  The Shawnee, Kansas, native didn’t allow his first hit until Josh Pyne’s single up the middle with one out in the sixth.

Iowa’s bullpen was stingy from there as Jared Simpson, Luke Llewellyn and Will Christophersen allowed two hits over the final three frames.  Christophersen struck out two of the three batters he faced in the ninth.

Iowa’s offense continued its hot streak, scoring nine runs over the first five innings on nine hits and finishing with 12 in the game.  Since trailing 13-2 through three innings on Thursday, the Hawkeyes have outscored the Hoosiers, 40-3.

UP NEXT

The Hawkeyes will go for the weekend sweep Saturday, hosting the Hoosiers at 8:02 p.m. (CT).  Iowa will honor its senior class prior to the contest.

Hinson says ‘incompetence’ by FDA led to baby formula shortage

News

May 20th, 2022 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a Republican from Marion, says the baby formula shortage in the U.S. is due to a lack of foresight and action by the Democrat administration. “Back in February Abbott’s Sturgis Michigan facility closed down following a voluntary recall of baby formula. The Biden administration’s FDA should have developed a plan to prevent shortages then — but they sat on their hands for months,” Hinson says.

The baby formula is regulated by the FDA and Hinson says that’s important to keep it safe, but they need to be able to react to these types of situations. “We still haven’t seen a plan from the FDA in my mind there is no excuse for this incompetence,” Hinson says. “Last week I called for the FDA to provide a clear timeline for getting formula back on the shelves as well as a plan to prevent future shortages. This cannot happen again,” she says.

Hinson says a plan proposed by Speaker Nancy Pelosi that passed the House threw money at the problem, but didn’t provide a long-term solution. Hinson and fellow Republicans Mariannette Miller-Meeks and Randy Feenstra voted against the Pelosi bill. Democrats Congresswoman Cindy Axne voted for the measure.

Hinson says families looking for special formulas may find some relief soon. “Abbott is releasing certain types of metabolic formulas that were previously on hold. If that applies, parents should be calling Abbott the 800 number is 1-800-881-0876. And they can call that number for assistance and start the process in getting some of that formula as quickly as possible,” according to Hinson.

The president announced that he is invoking the Defense Production Act to try and help speed up the restocking of the formula.”We’ve been in direct conversations with Abbott, and before the President’s announcement yesterday (Wednesday) we had already received word from them that they are working to not only get that plant operational but that we should be in a place where shelves are backstopped within four to eight weeks,” Hinson says. She says the president’s action does not go to the root of the problem in creating a plan for the FDA to deal with the situation.

Hinson made her comments during her weekly conference call with reporters.
