25 unsolved acts of vandalism in Carroll since July

News

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Authorities in Carroll are investigating a long string of vandalism that started this summer. The latest was discovered Wednesday morning. The front windows in the youth center run by a Carroll church were shattered. Carroll Police Chief Brad Burke says his department has fielded 25 calls about damage to windows and vehicles since July 23. “It’s pretty random. Daylight hours and nighttime hours, we’re getting calls about both. We can’t pin down a specific time or day of the week that it’s occurring. It’s pretty random at this point,” Burke says. “It’s random around town, too. There’s no set location or targets.”

The damage to the windows appears to be caused by a B-B gun according to the police chief. “We have offered a reward on our Facebook page for any information leading to the arrest or conviction of somebody, so we just want someone to come forward if they do know something, give us a call,” Burke says. “We’ll look into it and see if we can get these stopped.” The latest bout of vandalism struck in a strip mall near a Hy-Vee in Carroll. Ryan Gallegos, lead pastor at Central Church in Carroll, has offered a one-thousand dollar reward for information that leads to the arrest of the vandal who damaged the windows at the church’s youth center.

“Somebody knows something and I want it to stop,” he says. “It’s not fair to businesses or individuals because this stuff costs us money.” Vandalism was also discovered at a vacant building in Carroll on Tuesday morning.

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — The University of Iowa is moving forward with plans for a $90 million renovation of Kinnick Stadium. The Iowa Board of Regents on Thursday approved the design and financing plan for the project, which will renovate one of the stadium’s end zones.

The enhancements to the north end zone include a second deck for seating, new restrooms, expanded concourses and improved concessions. The project will begin after the 2016 season and be completed prior to the 2019 season.

Kinnick Stadium, which has hosted the Hawkeyes since 1929, last received an overhaul in 2006 that was highlighted by a new press box. The stadium’s capacity is expected to remain around 70,000.

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

LE MARS, Iowa (AP) — Ice cream maker Well Enterprises plans a $40.5 million expansion that will create 81 jobs in Le Mars. The Sioux City Journal reports state documents released Thursday show Wells is seeking about $3 million in state tax incentives to help finance the expansion. Plans include a 6,000-square-foot addition to the company’s South plant and the addition of new production lines.

The city of Le Mars would provide nearly $400,000 in property tax abatement for the project. Wells is known as the maker of Blue Bunny ice cream and frozen novelties. The family-owned company employs more than 2,000 workers. The Iowa Economic Development Authority Board will consider the application for tax breaks at a meeting Friday in Des Moines.

Beware prize money phone scam!

News

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Atlantic Police Department is warning residents about a prize money phone scam. Officials say some residents have received calls advising they have won a large amount of money or a prize, and that the resident needs to go to Hy-Vee or Wal-Mart. The resident is instructed to wire money to the caller in order for them to receive their prize.

If you receive such a call, DO NOT give the caller any personal or banking information. If you have an elderly family member, be sure and tell them not to give out any bank or personal information to someone calling, claiming they have won a prize they would have to wire money for, in order to claim that prize.

La Nina pattern may influence Iowa’s winter weather

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The National Climate Prediction Center is again issuing a La Nina watch into next year, though an Iowa climatologist says it likely isn’t much reason for farmers and snow shovelers to worry. Dennis Todey, director of the U-S-D-A Midwest Climate Hub in Ames, says the La Nina watch won’t mean any significant changes in the long-range outlook.snowstorm “Okay, yeah, it could end up being La Nina,” Todey says. “Still, I don’t think it’s going to be a major issue. It doesn’t really change too much about what it says for the winter or for next growing season.”

La Nina occurs when Pacific Ocean surface temperatures fall and it has some effect on the weather across North America. Todey says the looming La Nina may be a contributing factor to the winter ahead. “The storm pattern may be a bit more active across the northern U.S. this year,” Todey says. “I’m not saying we’re calling for more precipitation than average but it could be more active and we’ll probably see more storm systems coming through.”

Todey says other factors may have more of an effect on the weather through next spring. “Probably something else is going to kick in and be more of a driver this winter than the La Nina will be,” Todey says, “and then, it becomes a non-factor by next summer.” The La Nina pattern comes on the heels of a two-year, record-breaking El Nino pattern that faded away late this summer.

Citing concerns, board to audit Iowa State leader’s flights

News

October 20th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) – The Iowa Board of Regents has ordered an audit of every flight that Iowa State University President Steven Leath has taken on the school’s two airplanes, citing possible misuse. Board President Bruce Rastetter said Thursday that he’s extremely disappointed that Leath has used the planes on multiple occasions in ways that appear “questionable at best.”

He says Leath has been a successful president but the board must take seriously any questions about the potential misuse of university resources. The board’s audit committee voted to order its internal auditor to review Leath’s flights on university planes during his five-year tenure. He said the report must be detailed and answer all questions about the trips.

A pilot, Leath has repeatedly flown to and from North Carolina, where he owns a mountain home.
