The Pottawattamie County Sheriff’s Office reports a Council Bluffs man was arrested Tuesday night on drug and other charges. Authorities say at around 11:35-p.m., a deputy on patrol saw a vehicle whose driver was possibly intoxicated or tired. A traffic stop of the vehicle resulted in the arrest of 18-year old Jackson Butler Rackley, of Council Bluffs, for Possession of a Controlled Substance/Marijuana, and Possession of Drug Paraphernalia.
The Sheriff’s Office reports also, 45-year old Frankie Jo Garren, of Irwin, was arrested at around 8:50-p.m. Tuesday, for Driving While Barred. Her arrest took place after a deputy responded to a report a pickup truck was traveling on Interstate 80 without its headlights on.
A Pott. County Deputy arrested 21-year old Cole Bernard McKenzie, of Council Bluffs early this (Wednesday) morning. McKenzie was taken into custody for Driving While Barred, following a traffic stop at around 3-a.m. in the 24000 block of Greenview Road.
A workshop is being held in central Iowa today (Wednesday) to help communities find the needed resources to help redevelop and revitalize areas that may have environmental contamination. Mel Pins, spokesman for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, says the workshop is focused on what are known as “brownfield” areas, and he offers an example.
“If there’s a closed gas station in your community that’s been sitting there for a number of years, why has it not been redeveloped?” Pins asks. “That’s probably because somebody fears contamination. Whether there are problems or not, that perception or that stigma holds up reuse and redevelopment.”
The all-day workshop is free and open to anyone, targeting Iowa community leaders and non-profit groups. “The workshop is designed to cover some of the things we can offer, both technical and financial assistance, to help investigate environmental issues at these sites, to see if they’re suitable for reuse, and if necessary, even to help clean them up.”
The D-N-R workshop is underway at the Octagon Center for the Arts in Ames.
