Officials with the U-S Fish and Wildlife Service say the DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge along the Missouri River near Missouri Valley, will be closed to mushroom hunting this weekend (May 17th and 18th), because of a turkey hunt.
The refuge roads, trails and visitor center will be open as normal, though.
DeSoto National Wildlife Refuge is a destination for people who want to explore the habitats and wildlife of the Missouri River and get a glimpse of what pre-settlement Iowa and Nebraska may have looked like. It’s located 25 miles north of Omaha on U.S. Highway 30, between Missouri Valley and Blair, Neb. The visitor center is open from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily, except federal holidays.
A Nebraska man appearing in court to learn his sentence upon being convicted of beating an elderly Council Bluffs woman, cried and professed his remorse, Tuesday. According to the Daily NonPareil, the judge sentenced 21-year old Dustin M. Brown, of Omaha, to 25-years in prison on a charge of first-degree robbery, in connection with the January 2014 incident.
The sentence was part of a plea agreement Brown’s attorney made, in connection with the beating of 59-year old Carmen Morales. Brown entered Morales’ home, beat her with a tire iron and threatened her life while taking electronics and a safe from her home. He threatened to kill Morales if she didn’t lead him to the safe.
Unknown to Brown, Morales’ daughter had placed a hidden camera inside the home, which captured much of the incident on video. The state originally charged Brown with first-degree kidnapping, second-degree kidnapping, first-degree burglary and first-degree robbery, but in exchange for a guilty plea to the robbery charge, a Class B felony, prosecutors dismissed the other three counts.
The robbery conviction carries a 25-year prison term, with Brown required to serve at least 70 percent of the sentence, meaning he’ll be incarcerated for at least 17½ years. In court Tuesday, Brown’s attorney, Jennifer Solberg, said the suspect was high on methamphetamine at the time of the crime and has no recollection of the incident.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa’s preliminary five-year highway spending plan includes more than $900 million for state-owned bridges and more than $1.2 billion for enhanced safety features and upgrades on state highways. The Des Moines Register saysthe Iowa Transportation Department unveiled the estimated $2.7 billion plan on Tuesday. It covers fiscal years 2015 through 2019.
The plan include reconstruction work on Interstate 29 in Sioux City, the interstate system in Council Bluffs, and the replacement of the Mississippi River bridge on Interstate 74 in Bettendorf that links Iowa and Illinois.
The draft program is posted and available for public comment on the Iowa DOT’s website at http://bit.ly/1qChUsw . The Iowa Transportation Commission is scheduled to consider final approval of the program on June 10 at a meeting in Perry.
Iowa has more than 200 farms that are raising over 32,000 dairy goats. The primary product produced from goats raised in Iowa is cheese, but in many parts of the world where hunger is a major problem, goats are the primary livestock. Tad Sonstegard is a research geneticist with the U.S. Department of Agriculture. “Ninety percent of the world’s goats are actually in nations with developing economies where people usually don’t have enough food. So it’s a very critical meat and milk source in these nations,” Sonstegard says.
USDA scientists say one of the problems is that in many rapidly developing and undeveloped countries the best goat is eaten during celebrations or sold quickly to make money. “Thus, that opportunity to improve the genetics is lost because the animal goes into food immediately,” Sonstegard says. Sonstegard and his colleagues are studying the genetics of goats in Africa to figure out which ones to keep in the herd.
“And how they stack up against goats in countries, typically Europe, where they have done a lot of advanced breeding for dairy production,” Sonstegard explains. USDA officials believe research like that of Sonstegard is important to solving global food challenges. The world’s population is expected to grow from about 6.6 billion today to almost 9 billion by 2050.
