Educational Series to help Livestock Industry Prepare for Veterinary Feed Directive

August 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

AMES, Iowa – Are you prepared for implementation of the Veterinary Feed Directive on January 1st, 2017? Iowa State University Extension and Outreach, Iowa Farm Bureau, and the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association are partnering to offer an educational series about the Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD). Iowa State Extension beef program specialist Chris Clark said Iowa veterinarians, livestock producers, and feed industry personnel are invited to participate.

“The program will include a general overview of the VFD, species break-outs, and discussion panels featuring veterinarians, producers, and feed industry personnel,” Clark said. “The implementation date of January 1, 2017, is approaching and at this point people may have some specific questions or scenarios that they are unsure about. Hopefully we can help answer some questions and clarify some of those issues.”

Iowa veterinarians, livestock producers and feed industry personnel are invited to attend any of the 11 session locations. Each program features breakout and discussion sessions, with a primary objective of helping attendees learn about the roles and responsibilities of all involved parties.

“Implementation of the VFD will require cooperation and communication between veterinarians, producers, and feed industry personnel,” Clark said. “It’s important that each party knows not only their own responsibilities but also what to expect from the other two parties. It may be really valuable to hear what others are thinking and planning in regard to implementation of the VFD.”

The series runs from Aug. 22 through Sept. 1 with specific times set for each location. There is no fee to attend, but preregistration is encouraged to assist organizers with planning. Register by calling the numbers below, associated with the session you would like to attend.

August 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a Shelby County man was arrested Tuesday evening on a warrant for Probation Violation. 27-year old Jonathan Anthony Montoya, of Earling, was taken into custody following a traffic stop in Walnut. Montoya was also charged with Driving While License Revoked. He was booked into the Pottawattamie County Jail.

Wednesday afternoon, a Pott. County Sheriff’s Deputy arrested a man from Illinois, for being a Fugitive From Justice. 29-year old Raymond Portner, of Crystal Lake, IL., was arrested following a traffic stop for speeding and another moving violation. A records check indicated he was wanted out of Clay County, Missouri. Portner was booked into the Pottawattamie County Jail.

And, a pursuit Wednesday afternoon, resulted in a crash and the arrest of a Shenandoah man. The Pott. County Sheriff’s Office says 34-year old Brian Joseph Freemont, of Shenandoah, was charged with Eluding and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Authorities say a deputy in the median of Interstate 29 at mile marker 57, noticed a gold Ford Taurus drive by with no plates or in-transit tags. The vehicle also had extremely dark window tint.

As he turned his cruiser around to conduct a traffic stop, the Taurus sped up and ultimately rear-ended a Chevy Equinox. The collision disabled the car. The driver, identified as Freemont was arrested on the aggravated eluding charge. A female passenger in the vehicle, 30-year old Starr Selene Walker, of Winnebago, NE., was arrested for Possession of Drug Paraphernalia. Two glass pipes containing a white residue were taken into evidence.

State Fair Day 1 Forecast: Hot, rainy weather with potential flooding

News, Weather

August 11th, 2016 by Ric Hanson

Forecasters say the weather won’t cooperate much for the opening day of the Iowa State Fair. Besides the heat and humidity, thunderstorms are forecast with the potential for heavy rain. Meteorologist Mindy Beerends, at the National Weather Service in Johnston, says a Heat Advisory runs from 1 this (Thursday) afternoon until 8 tonight for a wide section of south and central Iowa.

“We’re expecting intermittent storms throughout the day and then more widespread showers and thunderstorms late this afternoon and into the overnight hours,” Beerends says, “which could bring heavy rainfall to much of the area.” While the heat and humidity combined may bring heat indices this afternoon as high as 105 degrees, much of Iowa will also likely get drenched.

“We’re expecting to see rainfall amounts of one to three inches, especially where storms persist and in some localized areas, we could see amounts of four to six inches, potentially,” Beerend says. “Lots of heavy rainfall could lead to flash flooding so we have a Flash Flood Watch out through 7 AM Friday morning.” She says dry conditions should return tomorrow afternoon along with somewhat cooler weather into the weekend.

INDIANOLA, Iowa (AP) – Authorities have identified the second victim of a plane crash in south-central Iowa’s Warren County. The Warren County Sheriff’s Office identified the man as 23-year-old Neil Jackson, of Jerome, Idaho.
