Weather and crop experts are expressing cautious optimism that Iowa’s corn, soybean and hay crops won’t be greatly affected by the frost predicted for north-central and northwest Iowa Thursday morning. The U-S-D-A estimates about one-third of Iowa’s corn crop is fully mature and most areas need another 10-days to reach that level. That’s why Iowa State University corn specialist Roger Elmore doesn’t believe freezing temperatures will greatly affect yields. “What that’ll do is shut the plant down and it will result in some reduction in yield, maybe at the most three to five percent,” Elmore said. “That yield reduction is coming from those kernels being shortchanged the last few days…so it’ll be a reduction in kernel weight.” Iowa State University Climatologist Elwyn Taylor says cloudiness in the approaching cold air could mitigate the frost damage.
“If it’s a perfectly clear sky, then we will get at least (a partial) killing freeze,” Taylor said. “That means, maybe not whole fields, but spots when we go through Wednesday night. We don’t expect it to stay around long. It would just be that one night with the killing freeze, which is basically 28-degrees for corn and soybeans.” I-S-U forage specialist Steve Barnhart says grasses respond well to cool temperatures, so the badly-needed late fall hay crop should be fine.
“A standing alfalfa crop and grass hay crops will tolerate a light frost and really won’t stop their growth for the remainder of the season,” Barnhart said. “It takes a 23 or 24 degree overnight freeze to really stop the hay crop.” The National Weather Service has issued a Freeze Watch for late Wednesday night through Thursday morning over north-central and northwest Iowa.

Due to the current remodeling taking place in the Atlantic Medical Center, there will be a change in the procedure for patients having blood draws done for laboratory (lab) tests. Currently, there is a blood draw station in Atlantic Medical Center as well as the Cass County Memorial Hospital main lab, and patients utilize both. Officials say effective September 19, 2011, all patients coming for a blood draw separate from a doctor’s appointment will have their blood drawn in the main hospital lab.
This includes patients with standing orders for chronic diseases, those who are having a blood draw that requires fasting, or those with a lab order from a non-AMC physician. Only patients who are having blood drawn while they are at an appointment with an AMC healthcare provider will have it done at the medical center draw station.
If you are unsure about where to go, call the CCMH lab at 712-243-3250.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Amtrak will resume its full service between Chicago and California later this week now track damage from flooding and a derailment has been repaired. The railroad said Tuesday that it will restart eastbound service on Thursday when train 6 departs Emeryville, Calif. The westbound service will restart on Friday when train 5 leaves Chicago.
Amtrak says the BNSF railroad, which owns the tracks it uses, has been repairing damage caused by flooding along the Missouri River and an August derailment in western Nebraska. The repairs will allow Amtrak to offer service between Fort Morgan, Colo., and Burlington, Iowa, for the first time since August 26. And Amtrak will be able to resume using the Omaha, Neb., station for the first time since June 1.
COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Police in Council Bluffs say they’re mystified by the appearance of a Hot Dog Man statue but would relish any information about where it came from. A concerned citizen called police last week to report a man in a hot dog costume near a bus stop where children congregate. When officers arrived, they found the man was actually a 6-foot tall statue, with spindly legs and a pair of high-top sneakers. Its hands are missing and a U.S. flag is draped across its back. The statue has been spotted elsewhere in the city, but police Capt. Terry LeMaster says no one knows anything about it or where it came from. It is being stored at the police department until someone claims it.
PITTSBURGH, Pa., September 13, 2011 – The St. Louis Cardinals announced today that they have agreed with starting pitcher Chris Carpenter on a two-year contract extension through the 2013 season. The announcement was made in Pittsburgh by Cardinals’ Senior V.P./General Manager John Mozeliak.
“Chris embodies everything you want in a player,” stated Mozeliak. “He is a great teammate, a winning player, a tough competitor and a proud representative of the Cardinals tradition. We are extremely pleased to have Chris extended through the next two seasons.”
In his nine seasons (2003-11) with the Cardinals, Carpenter has compiled the best winning pct. (.689; 93-42) of any Cardinals pitcher since 1900 (min. 1,000 innings pitched).
“The Cardinals organization and the St. Louis fans have made my family and I feel very much a part of the Cardinals family since Day 1,” said Carpenter. “I am thrilled to know that I will remain part of this great organization over the next two seasons and hopefully in the days beyond my playing career.”
The 2005 National League Cy Young Award winner ranks 9th among all-time Cardinals in ERA (3.10) since 1900 (min. 1,300 innings pitched) and he’s 4th on the team’s all-time strikeouts list (1,046), trailing only Bob Gibson, Dizzy Dean and Bob Forsch.
Joining Bob Gibson as the only Cardinals to win Cy Young honors, Carpenter posted a 21-5 mark in 2005, as he became the first Cardinals pitcher since 1989 to strike out 200 or more batters in a single-season.
Carpenter was voted the N.L. Player’s Choice Comeback Player of the Year award in 2009 after leading the National League with a 2.24 ERA, the first league ERA title for a Cardinals pitcher since 1988.
Carpenter is 9-9 with a 3.75 ERA this season, leading the league in games started (30), while ranking 4th in innings pitched (206.1) and complete games (3). He was named an All-Star in 2005, 2006 and 2010, starting the mid-summer classic for the N.L in 2005. Chris was a member of the Cardinals 2006 World Championship team and he has been a part of four postseason teams and two National League pennant winners for St. Louis.
