COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — An 18-year-old who pleaded guilty to vehicular homicide in a Neola crash has been has been ordered to carry a photo of the boy who was killed. The Daily Nonpareil reports that Kael Karagianis was sentenced Monday to five years of probation after receiving a deferred judgment. Under a deferred judgment, the conviction can be wiped from Karagianis’ record if he successfully completes the terms of his probation.

Those terms include carrying a photo of 14-year-old Gage Williams, who died March 21. Authorities say Williams and another teen were sitting in the truck bed when Karagianis lost control of the truck as he intentionally swerved and hit the brakes.

The terms also include community service and making two presentations a year on the dangers of reckless driving.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Transportation officials say there has been a spike in traffic fatalities in Iowa this year.

Data from the Iowa Department of Transportation show at least 238 traffic fatalities recorded in the state between the start of the year and the middle of August. There were 182 traffic fatalities during the same period last year.

Steve Gent, the department’s director of traffic and safety, says there’s been an increase in fatalities nearly every month of 2016. There’s no specific reason for the jump, though Gent notes more people are driving Iowa roads in part because the price of gasoline has decreased in recent years.

There have been roughly 320 traffic fatalities every year in Iowa between 2013 and 2015. Gent says the department expects this year’s final tally to top that.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Gov. Terry Branstad has been named to an agricultural advisory committee that will advise GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump.

The Trump campaign announced Tuesday that Branstad is part of a 64-member committee that will provide advice on the agricultural industry. It includes several governors and state lawmakers from around the country.

Iowa Secretary of Agriculture Bill Northey and Bruce Rastetter, president of the board that oversees Iowa’s three public universities, are also on the committee.

Media reports last week listed Branstad as a Trump adviser, and Branstad spokesman Ben Hammes reiterated that the position is unofficial and the Trump campaign isn’t paying the Republican governor.

Hammes says the committee will meet via phone, though Trump may also communicate one-on-one with Branstad, who has joined Trump at Iowa campaign stops.
