(Atlantic, Iowa) – A frost covered road is being blamed for a rollover accident that claimed the life of a rural Atlantic man this (Thursday) morning. The Iowa State Patrol reports a 2006 Ford Econoline van driven by 20-year-old Avery Carl Andersen, of Atlantic, was traveling north on Olive Street, about one-quarter of a mile south of Dunbar Road, when the vehicle lost traction and began to fishtail. The van swerved off the road to the left and entered a ditch, where it rolled over and ended up on its top. Avery died at the scene.The accident happened at around 8:55-a.m. North Olive Street was closed for slightly over three hours during the accident investigation and clean-up.
The Patrol was assisted at the scene by the Cass County Sheriff’s Office, Cass County Medical Examiner, and Atlantic Fire and Rescue.

(Radio Iowa) – It’s hoped a new blood test may help to identify people who are at risk for developing Alzheimer’s disease well before symptoms emerge. Researcher Godfrey Coker, with the Alzheimer’s Therapeutic Research Institute, says the blood test searches for a brain amyloid, a protein that’s a risk factor for developing Alzheimer’s, which afflicts 66-thousand Iowans. “This new research shows blood tests can identify specific brain amyloid proteins and help identify people at risk of developing Alzheimer’s symptoms,” Coker says. “This could greatly speed enrollment in clinical trials like the AHEAD Study and lead to important treatments.”
The AHEAD Study and is seeking volunteers from Iowa and across the U-S and Canada. Coker says it’s the first time such a test will be used in a clinical trial aiming to prevent the symptoms of Alzheimer’s. “The study is enrolling people between the ages of 55 and 80 to test whether removing amyloid plaques in the brain can delay or prevent Alzheimer’s symptoms,” Coker says. “We anticipate that the simplicity of a blood test will increase participation in clinical trials, especially among communities of color, which are historically underrepresented in Alzheimer’s trials.”
Iowans who want to participate in the study would need to be willing to travel. There are no test sites in the state, but there are locations in several neighboring states, including: Kansas City, St. Louis, Chicago, Madison and Rochester. Learn more: aheadstudy.org or call 1-800-AHEAD-70.
(Radio Iowa) – Cow-calf producers hit by this year’s drought in northwest Iowa are dealing with a host of challenges. Iowa State University Extension and Outreach has scheduled a series of drought recovery meetings next month to offer advice on pasture repair and what financial assistance is available. Iowa State Extension beef specialist Beth Doran says the big question is how quickly pastures will recover after cows grazing on the land ate grasses nearly down to the roots. “We know that in some cases maybe those pastures, there’s been some grasses and legumes like clovers and alfalfa that may die out this winter,” she says, “so they might have to go back in and do some reseeding come this spring.”
Dustin Puhrmann says his 20 cows grazed his O’Brien County pastures down further than he would’ve liked to see this past summer. The grass didn’t get enough moisture to grow back. Puhrmann says many farmers he worked with had to give their cows and calves supplemental proteins and feed to get through the summer months. Now, farmers buying hay in the winter are paying more. “To feed those cows is going to cost me a lot more money this winter to get them back to where they’re grazing again next summer,” he says. According to Iowa State University extension, there are about six-thousand cattle feedlots in Iowa where STEERS are fed and sold, but thousands of other Iowa farmers raise cows and calves on pasture ground, selling the calves when they’re around a year old.
