An Iowa owned horse will run for the roses out of post number one in Saturday’s Kentucky Derby. Mo Donegal (dun-ih-gul) is one of the favorites after winning the Wood Memorial in New York. It will be the fourth horse that Donegal Racing has run in the Derby. Des Moines attorney Jerry Crawford put the ownership group together after buying eight horses for 410 thousand dollars in 2008.
They have had two horses finish third and another seventh. Mo Donegal used a late charge to win at the Wood Memorial.
Crawford says Mo Donegal is smart and calm and that will help him navigate the large 20 horse field.
Brock Purdy says he is embracing his role as Mr. Irrelevant. The former Iowa State quarterback was the final pick in the NFL Draft by the San Francisco 49ers.
The four year starter for the Cyclones sees it as an opportunity to get his foot in the door.
Purdy led ISU to four straight bowl games.
(Radio Iowa) – Cold, windy spring days have left Iowa’s morel mushroom harvest delayed. By this date, mushrooms hunters are typically thick in forested areas collecting the delicacies that only appear for a short time every spring. Matt Moles is park manager for the Iowa DNR’s Waubonsie State Park in Fremont County. He says his office has been receiving numerous calls from people asking if morels have been popping up yet in the park. “Don’t get disheartened yet with the weather patterns,” Moles says. “I’ve picked mushrooms anywhere between the very tail-end of March through two or three weeks into May in this part of the state. What we need right now is a little bit more ground moisture and probably a few more warmer days.”
While a few hunters have started reporting success in parts of southern Iowa and southeast Nebraska, Moles says a good rain followed by some warm days could lead to a jump-start in the season. “Usually what I notice in a year like the one we’re having now in a Spring that shapes like the climate we’re having now, is that the mushroom growth is really kind of fast and furious,” Moles says. “They pop-up, they produce their spores and then they get picked or they go away. I would not look for a prolonged season this year. Once you start getting reports of people picking them, you probably should get out there fast and do your thing.”

Morel mushrooms need soil temperatures between 50 and 54 degrees to thrive. Moles says there are plenty of good hunting spots in southwest Iowa. “There’s a lot of pseudo-science with mushroom hunting, which kind of makes it fun,” Moles says. “It really is a good idea to target dead or dying elm trees, ash trees or cottonwood trees. We’re really fortunate here in the southwest part of the state that we have a lot of public land to choose from. I think Fremont County might have — per size of the counties — more public land than most other counties do in the state. There are a lot of great wildlife management areas and park areas for us to pick from.”
Other tips from the Iowa DNR include searching the base of slopes and areas with mossy ground or creek beds where moisture is present.
(Atlantic, Iowa) – Cass County Republicans hosted the the second of two “Know your candidates” forums Monday evening, in Atlantic, at the Cass County Community Center. Among the candidates in attendance were two candidates for State Auditor: Mary Ann Hanusa, from Council Bluffs, and Todd Halbur, from Clive. He’s a native of Carroll.
Todd Halbur
Mary Ann Hanusa
Hanusa is a former staffer to U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley and White House aide in both Bush administrations. She said the State Auditor is a watchdog for your tax dollars. Incumbent Democrat Auditor Rob Sand, she said, has used his office to launch baseless investigations into the Governor’s Office.
Hanusa pointed to her record of “accountability in state government” as a reason she should win the election.
Todd Halbur says he’s a life-long Republican and involved in politics, but this is his first time as a candidate. His wife Diane is a native of Griswold. He says he’s running because there’s been a lack of CPA’s in office for too many years.
He said he’s running for the office State Auditor because for a year, not one candidate stood up as a CPA or a even a banker.
Halbur is a former banker, a small business owner and former CFO for the Iowa Alcoholic Beverages Division.
Other Candidates in attendance in advance of the June 7th Primary, included: Senator Jim Carlin – candidate for the U-S House of Representatives; Gary Leffler – candidate for U-S House/3rd District; and Candidates for State Auditor, Todd Halbur and Mary Ann Hanusa.
Representatives were also on-hand for Senator Charles Grassley, who is running for re-election to the U-S Senate, and Nicole Hasso, Candidate for U-S House in the 3rd District. State Senator Zach Nunn was unable to attend to a family matter.
