One person was injured Sunday afternoon during a collision between an SUV and a tractor, in Shelby County. The Iowa State Patrol reports 67-year old Russell Buckley, of Earling, who was not wearing a seat belt, was transported by Defiance Rescue to Myrtue Memorial Hospital in Harlan, and later to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha, following the crash that happened at around 2:50-p.m., south of Defiance.
Officials say Buckley was traveling north on Linden Road on a 1949 Ford 8N tractor, when 23-year old Orin W. Wright, of Kirkman, tried to pass the tractor in a marked, “No Passing” zone, as he was also traveling northbound on Linden.

Kim Weaver, the Democratic candidate in Iowa’s fourth congressional district, says voters shouldn’t believe her opponent, Republican Congressman Steve King, when he says he’d be able to work with Hillary Clinton if she’s elected president. “He’s the least effective member of congress, so he can’t even work with fellow Republicans,” Weaver says. “How’s he going to work with Hillary?”
Weaver made her comments during a speech this weekend on The Des Moines Register’s Soapbox at the Iowa State Fair. Weaver called for a higher minimum wage, help for student debt and immigration reform. Weaver also supporting legalizing industrial hemp as a way to improve water quality. “We’re not talking pot. We’re not talking marijuana. We’re talking industrial hemp,” Weaver said. “Industrial hemp can be planted in marshy areas. It’s very good at mitigating nitrates as well as because of the way the root system it helps avoid soil erosion.”
Weaver says she’s ready to debate King this fall. King is seeking an eighth term in congress and he has not always agreed to debate his Democratic opponents.

Indiana Governor Mike Pence — the Republican Party’s VICE presidential nominee — spent a couple of hours Saturday strolling through the Iowa State Fairgrounds. Pence first stopped by a private event with Iowa G-O-P heavy-hitters like Governor Branstad and agri-businessman Bruce Rastetter. Pence then walked into the public part of the fairgrounds, stopping by the Iowa G-O-P’s booth, stepping up on a platform and speaking for about a minute.
“Iowa always plays such an important role in the choice that America makes, but I know this fall Iowa will lead the way when we elect Donald Trump as the next president of the United States of America,” Pence said. Pence ended his brief pep talk with Donald Trump’s trademark campaign slogan. “Let’s all work our hearts out. It’s a little more than 80 days, but I know in my heart of hearts if all of us do all we can, we will elect leadership in America that will make America great again,” Pence said, to cheers. “Let’s go get it done.”
Pence bought a hot beef sundae at the Iowa Cattleman’s Quarters on the fairgrounds, took a selfie with Governor Branstad in front of the butter cow and flipped chops on the Iowa Pork Producers’ grill. A person dressed as a duck trailed Pence to the pork tent, followed by others holding signs saying “Donald Ducks Releasing His Taxes.” People nearby holding Trump-Pence signs chanted “Lock Her Up” — the same refrain heard when speakers at the Republican National Convention mentioned Hillary Clinton.
Pence was greeted by chants of his first name when he entered the fair’s Varied Industries Building. Later, as Pcnce visited with pork producers a few people on a nearby sidewalk booed and one yelled: “Hillary Clinton for President.” That prompted another round of the “Lock Her Up” chant. Earlier Saturday afternoon, former Iowa Governor Tom Vilsack held a news conference to call on Trump to “follow 40 years of precedent” and release his tax returns.

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CDT
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Fewer drivers are receiving the tough penalties Iowa lawmakers approved for illegally passing school buses when they are stopped. The Des Moines Register reports that the number of people charged with violating the school bus law has declined, and the law’s tough penalties may make prosecutors more willing to accept lesser charges.
SIOUX CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa law prohibits texting and driving, but few people in Sioux City are receiving tickets for the offense. Police say the law is difficult to enforce because it is a secondary offense and because the law still allows some use of electronic devices while driving.
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Iowa family pays $500 for a new home that has to be moved to a new site before a highway project is completed. Moving the home will cost roughly $75,000 more, but the family still figures they got a bargain on the home.
ORANGE CITY, Iowa (AP) — A year ago, Mark Fedders stared at the empty chicken barns on his farm after his flock was wiped out by the bird flu and pondered an uncertain future. A year later, the barns at his Orange City farm remain empty, but Fedders’ future may never have been more certain. The Sioux City Journal reports that within months after losing his 170,000 chickens, Fedders turned to making and marketing leather gun holsters and other products.
