(Atlantic, Iowa) – Here’s a reminder from Healthy Cass County: There will be a Food Bank for the Heartland drive through mobile food pantry at the Cass County Community Center in Atlantic, on Wednesday, September 8th from 4-6 PM. People from surrounding communities are welcome. The event runs from 4-until 6-p.m., or as supplies last. Traffic at the Cass County Community Center will be directed by volunteers.
A mobile pantry is a traveling food pantry that delivers food directly to families in need for a one-day distribution. The mobile pantry is available free of charge. Visitors are asked stay in their vehicles with the trunk open. Each household will receive 1 shelf stable mobile community box, 1 loaf of bread, and one produce box. Each vehicle can take food for two households. If food is needed for multiple households, contact County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at 712-249-5870.
Anyone in need is welcome. No documentation needed. People from surrounding towns and communities are welcome. Food distribution and delivery is made possible with volunteers. Volunteering requires repeatedly lifting up to 20 pounds, but some less-strenuous positions are available. To volunteer contact Cass County Wellness Coordinator Brigham Hoegh at 712-249-5870. Thank you!

(Radio Iowa) – Labor Day union events and parades in most major cities in Iowa were canceled due to concerns about the spread of COVID-19. Iowa Federation of Labor spokesman, Lance Coles, says there was a lot of discussion before the final decision. “It wasn’t an easy decision,” Coles says. “Each of the cities have their own central bodies or affiliates and they met together. Up until about a few weeks ago they were still planning on having it — but with the increase in Delta COVID — they had a lot of discussion, and it wasn’t an easy decision, there were a lot of people who still wanted to have the events.”
He says they also decided to expand the recognition by designating September as Union Appreciation Month. “We decided why just take one day out of September and celebrate labor — let’s celebrate it the whole month,” Coles explains. Coles is a postal worker who has been a union member for more than 40 years. He was asked about where things stand in 2021. “I see it getting better. Our memberships are improving. People are wanting to join unions — especially the younger generation that wasn’t too savvy on what a union was or what it could do for them,” Coles says.
He says the pandemic has also made many people think about what jobs pay and consider if joining a union is a better option for their employment future. Some are critical of unions for getting too political, and leaning more toward Democrats. “In reality, about a third of our membership are registered Republicans. And another third are independents — kind of like the state of Iowa — it’s divided pretty well a third of the way across,” he says. “We don’t just say this is the candidate we want because they are the Democratic party.”
He says they review all the qualifications of candidates. Coles says the parade will be missed because they are a way to get out and meet people and show they pride that union workers have. Union events in Iowa City; Mason City, Des Moines; Cedar Rapids; Council Bluffs; FortDodge; Sioux City; Waterloo; Quad Cities; Clinton; Marshalltown have all been canceled. Dubuque Is still planning to have a Labor Day Parade, but has canceled its picnic.
(Radio Iowa) – Dubuque native Kenneth Quinn, a former U.S. Ambassador to Cambodia, led the Des Moines based World Food Prize for 20 years — and Quinn recently got a call from China’s new ambassador to the United States. “It was the first call to any Americans made by the new Chinese ambassador outside of Washington, D.C.,” Quinn says. Sarah Lande of Muscatine was also on the call. She hosted China’s president when Xi Jinping visited Iowa in 1985, back when XI was a regional ag official in China. “I think they’re looking to say: ‘Where can we look to, how can we find some place that could maybe help restore things back to where they were,'” Quinn says, “‘back in 2012.”
Just before Xi became the leader of China’s Communist Party and China’s president, he visited Iowa and then-Governor Terry Branstad hosted a state dinner for Xi at the Capitol in Des Moines. “He went to Muscatine, came to the State Capitol, gave a toast in which he invoked Mark Twain — the sun over the Mississippi — and all of these memories,” Quinn says. “I’d never heard a foreign leader talk about our country that way.” Quinn says he believes China is anxious to rebuild trade relationships with Iowa and he sees Iowa businesses and ag commodity groups with the same desire.
“It is going to be one of the two most significant countries on the face of our planet, for sure, and our question to us and to them is: ‘Are we going to have a super adversarial relationship? Or can we find ways to do things together?'” Quinn says. “…To be sure we have enough food to feed 9 to 10 billion people, to deal with climate change, to prevent pandemics China and the U.S. have to work together.”
Quinn spent 32 years as an officer in the U.S. Start Department. He made his comments during a recent appearance on Iowa P-B-S.
