Fire Prevention and Community Safety Program to bring bike rodeo to Inman Elementary

News

April 30th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Red Oak, Iowa) The Red Oak Fire Department and Red Oak Police Department, along with their partner, Behind the Shields are bringing a Bike Rodeo to the Inman Elementary this
spring. In an effort to promote bicycle safety for the summer, 3rd through 5th graders are encouraged to bring their bicycles and helmets to Inman Elementary on Monday, May 13th, 2024. The bike rodeo will be from 1:00pm to 3:00pm.

Officials urgently stress that all children in 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade bring their helmets with them to ensure they fit properly. If your child does not have a helmet, there will be some helmets on hand. However, there is a limit in the helmet inventory.

The Bike Rodeo is a free event designed to teach children essential bike safety skills and promote safe cycling habits. Participants will have the chance to engage in a variety of skills and activities at different learning stations. These stations will include helmet fitting, safety inspections, and skill-building exercises. This event is made possible through the generous support of our sponsors and partners:

Children’s Nebraska – Trauma Injury Prevention, Blank Children’s Hospital – Unity Point Health Des Moines, Behind the Shields, and the Red Oak Community School District. Officals said also, the event could not have made this possible without the support of Fire Chief John Bruce and Police Chief Justin Rhamy.

If you are interested in volunteering to help with the bike rodeo please reach out to either Amber Jennings at jennings@redoakpolice.com or Levi Kinnison at fireprevention@redoakia.city.

Atlantic location listed as one of 5 Iowa puppy mills cited in Humane Society’s annual report

News

April 30th, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(via the Iowa Capital Dispatch) – The Humane Society of the United States has released its annual “Horrible Hundred” report cataloging regulatory issues at 100 puppy mills nationwide, including 15 located in Iowa. One of the locations in the report is in Atlantic. The report says state inspectors in Dec., 2023, found at the Charles Vogl, SCW Frenchies, in Atlantic site, a strong odor of ammonia and waste, along with an excessive among of feces, at SCW Frenchies. During the same visit, inspectors also found unsafe structures, trash and clutter. The inspector noted that it seemed “several days” were passing without feces being removed from some areas.

Other sites in the report are located in Greene, Ackworth, Corydon, Sioux Center, Melvin, Orange City, Calamus, West Point, Grundy Center, Ogden, Cantril, Barnes City, New Sharon, and Riverside. The report is based on the findings of state and government inspectors. For the 12th year in a row, Missouri has the largest number of breeders in the report, followed by Ohio, Iowa and Wisconsin.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture cited a kennel run by Linda, Bethany and Stanley Korver in Orange City with 22 violations in 2023. The issues included dirty and unsafe conditions as well as inadequate veterinary care. (Photo by USDA officials, courtesy of the Humane Society of the United States)

John Goodwin, senior director of the Humane Society of the United States’ Stop Puppy Mills campaign, says “This report shows what life is really like for dogs and puppies in this cruel industry. Our report is the tip of the iceberg. As shocking as circumstances are in licensed puppy mills, there are many operations that aren’t inspected at all due to legal loopholes. It’s critical for the public to understand the full picture of where their puppies come from, and they won’t get that on a breeder’s website or in a pet store.”

The report also highlights practices at breeding operations endorsed by, or tied to, the American Kennel Club.
