DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Bernhard Langer is once again tearing up the PGA Tour Champions circuit, ranking second on the money list through 11 events. If Langer can finally break through at one of the rare courses that has repeatedly vexed him, he might leave Iowa in first place. Langer enters this weekend’s Principal Charity Classic at Wakonda Club in Des Moines with 37 career victories in the senior series. But the German has notched just two top-10s in five tries in Iowa, including a frustrating fourth-place finish in 2017. Langer should be considered among the favorites though, despite his mixed history in Des Moines.
In his last four starts this season, Langer has a win and two second-place finishes. He should be well rested after taking two weeks off to celebrate his son’s high school graduation back in Germany.
The three-round senior golf tournament tees off Friday.Langer will be joined by seven golfers who’ve won this tournament, including defending champion Brandt Jobe. Jobe snapped a winless streak stretching nearly 20 years by shooting a final-round 69 last year at Wakonda, holding off Kevin Sutherland and his former UCLA roommate Scott McCarron. Jobe went on a strong run after winning in Iowa, but had a sluggish start in 2018. Jobe has since bounced back, finishing in the top 10 in two of his last three events.
Based on his performance at Wakonda the past two years, perhaps no one is better positioned for a strong weekend than McCarron. McCarron won the event in 2016 before falling one stroke short last year. McCarron is eighth on the money list despite not winning a tournament yet this season, though he tied for third at the Senior PGA Championship in late May. As for the course, it’s hilly with narrow fairways that ranked 10th-toughest among 27 events a year ago. Weather could be a factor as well, with the possibility of thunderstorms in the forecast for Friday and Saturday.
An investigation into a single-vehicle accident at around 11-p.m. Wednesday, north of Shambaugh, resulted in the arrest of a woman from Missouri. The Page County Sheriff’s Office says 34-year old Sarah Jean Carpenter, of Burlington Junction, MO., was traveling south on Highway 71, when her 2002 Chrysler Town and Country van left the road and entered the west ditch. Carpenter tried to get the vehicle back on the road, but the van became stuck in the mud.
When a Deputy arrived, Carpenter was operating the vehicle, spinning the tires attempting to get the van unstuck. The Deputy noticed smoke coming from under the hood of the van. He then assisted Carpenter out of the van and called for the Clarinda Fire Department to be dispatched for the fire. The Deputy then assisted Carpenter up the bank, as the engine compartment of the vehicle caught fire. The fire was extinguished by the Clarinda Fire Department.
Carpenter was arrested for OWI 1st Offense. She was transported to the Page County Jail where she was being held on $1000.00. She later posted bond and was released pending further court proceedings. The Page County Sheriff’s Office was assisted at the scene by the Clarinda Fire Department & the Clarinda Ambulance service.

DES MOINES – Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Mike Naig today (Thursday) announced that applications for the Farmers Market Nutrition Programs are now available for eligible WIC recipients and low-income older Iowans. The WIC Farmers Market Nutrition and Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Programs provide eligible Iowans with checks that can be redeemed for fresh, locally grown produce at authorized farmers markets and farm stands from June 1 through Oct. 31, 2018.
Naig said “The Farmers Market Nutrition Programs are designed to give WIC participants and low-income seniors better access to the fresh and nutritious fruits and vegetables that can be found at farmers markets and farm stands throughout the state.” The Farmers Market Nutrition Programs are administered through the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, in partnership with the Iowa Department of Public Health and Iowa Department on Aging.
The WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program provides eligible WIC recipients with nine checks valued at $3 each. WIC FMNP checks will be distributed statewide on a first-come, first-served basis. Eligible individuals may pick up checks at arranged appointments or at regularly scheduled clinic appointments. A combination of state and federal funds will be used to make benefits available to more than 16,000 eligible WIC recipients this year. Eligible individuals include children ages 9 months through 4 years, pregnant women, breastfeeding women, and post-partum women that participate in Iowa’s WIC Program. The state’s 20 local WIC agencies have begun to distribute checks and nutritional education information. WIC recipients with questions can contact their local WIC clinic or visit https://idph.iowa.gov/wic/families for more information.
The Senior Farmers Market Nutrition Program provides eligible seniors with 10 checks for $3 each. In addition to produce, locally produced honey can also be purchased with Senior FMNP checks. The checks are available on a first-come, first-served basis to eligible recipients through Area Agency on Aging offices. A combination of state and federal funds will be used to make benefits available to more than 18,000 eligible seniors this year. Eligible seniors must be 60 years of age or older with a household income less than $22,459 if single or $30,451 for a married couple. Iowa seniors will be asked to complete a one-page application verifying their eligibility. The Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) have begun to distribute checks and nutritional education information. To find an Area Agency on Aging near you, contact the Iowa Association of Area Agencies on Aging (i4a) toll free at 866-468-7887 or at www.i4a.org.
After a long winter, a short spring and now an early summer, today (Thursday) is Heat Awareness Day in Iowa, according to meteorologist Kelsey Angle, at the National Weather Service. Angle says, “This is the day that we want to take some time to review the safety tips in regards to heat and safety as we head into the heart of summer.” We’ve already seen record high temperatures well into the 90s and since summer doesn’t officially arrive until June 21st, a quick review may be helpful.
“We do know it will get hot again and the humidity will also increase, and with that, the impacts will increase, especially for those who will be working outside during the summer,” Angle says. “Also, it’s to bring awareness that you don’t want to leave children or pets inside vehicles.” If the outside temperature is 80 degrees, in 10 minutes the temperature inside the vehicle will be near 100 degrees, and in one hour, near 125 degrees. Last year, there were 42 vehicular heatstroke children deaths nationwide. So far this year, there have been seven such deaths. If you’ll be outside during any of the upcoming heat waves, he offers some suggestions.
“Drink plenty of water, take frequent breaks to cool your body down, wear light-weight, loose-fitting, light-colored clothes to reflect the sunlight and keep your body cool,” Angle says. “You also want to make sure pets and livestock have access to water.” He suggests checking on your friends and neighbors, especially the elderly, to make sure they’re doing okay. Heat is one of the nation’s leading weather-related killers, resulting in hundreds of deaths each year and even more heat-related illnesses.

The president of the National Pork Producers Council says pig farmers are taking a financial beating as the Trump Administration seeks to reduce the U.S. trade deficit. “The president has said he wouldn’t abandon farmers and we’ve taken him at his word, but we need him to end these trade disputes now.” That’s Jim Heimerl, an Ohio hog farmer who leads the organization. Heimerl is in Des Moines this week for the World Pork Expo. He had this message for reporters during a news conference. “I wanted to come here wearing band aides to get the point across to you, to say that, you know, we are bleeding,” Heimerl said. According to an Iowa State University analysis, hog futures have plummeted 18-dollars per head since China first proposed retaliatory tariffs.
“That’s a $2.2 billion dollar industry loss on an annualized basis,” Heimerl said. Heimerl says while that drop isn’t completely due to trade issues, it’s the dominant factor and involves more than just the impasse with China. Mexico imposed tariffs on U.S. pork this week. “Now, with Mexico’s action, the toll on rural America will mount. We need to get this fixed now. Mexico is the number two export market for pork and China is number three,” Heimerl said. “We appreciate all the trade issues the administration is balancing, but we are starting to take on water fast.” Heimerl Farms is located outside of Columbus, Ohio, and operates 140 livestock barns and a feed mill. About 20-thousand people are attending the World Pork Expo in Des Moines. A thousand of them are international visitors, representing 40 different countries.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration is establishing a new field division based in Omaha that will include Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. In a news conference Thursday in Omaha, DEA Acting Administrator Robert Patterson said the new division will open in July. It is the agency’s 23rd division office in the United States.
Patterson says the move was prompted in part by the nation’s growing opioid crisis. In April, authorities seized a record 118 pounds of the powerful synthetic opioid fentanyl during a traffic stop. The Omaha division will be led by Matthew Barden, who previously served as the Associate Special Agent in Charge of the St. Louis Division. Barden says the new division will “produce more effective investigations on methamphetamine, heroin, fentanyl and prescription opioid trafficking.”
Police in Red Oak say one person suffered what were suspected minor injuries, during a single-vehicle accident this (Thursday) morning. A 2013 ChevyC-1500 pickup driven by 81-year old Donald C. Dobbs, of Red Oak, was traveling north on Broadway Street, in Red Oak, when the vehicle left the road and struck a tree, head-on. The accident, which caused $10,000 damage to the truck, happened at around 8:50-a.m. Police say Dobbs was evaluated and transported by Red Oak EMS to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital, due to possible medical issues. No citations were issued.
Red Oak Police were assisted by Red Oak Fire/EMS, the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Dept., Montgomery County EMA and the Iowa State Patrol.
