St. Albert Board Approves Hawkeye 10 Membership

Sports

October 25th, 2011 by Jim Field

Saint Albert has officially become the 11th member of the Hawkeye 10 Conference.  The St. Albert school board voted unanimously Monday night to join the conference making it official that the school will join the Hawkeye 10 in the fall of 2013.  The Council Bluffs school was invited to the conference earlier this summer following a three to four year process that involved the Hawkeye 10 sending out surveys to several possible members.  St. Albert had been a member of the Centennial Conference in Nebraska.  This is the first change in membership for the conference since 1993 when Denison and Kuemper Catholic joined to turn the Hawkeye 8 into the Hawkeye 10.  The Hawkeye 10 Conference Board of Directors voted unanimously June 10th to accept St. Albert as its 11th school.

News

October 25th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Sheriff’s officials in Adams County said Monday, a traffic interdiction program conducted on Highway 34 Sunday afternoon, led to the arrest of a Corning man.  Officials say as a vehicle driven by Denise Carder, of Nodaway, was stopped and  searched by a Ringgold County k-9 unit,  information was received indicating a controlled substance could be found at the residence of Carder and 40-year old Martin Lee Grace, who authorities say lives in Corning. 

Carder gave authorities permission to search her residence, during which a controlled substance was in fact, located. Martin Grace, who was already being detained in Adams County while an OWI investigation was underway, was placed under arrest for Possession of a Controlled Substance. He faces charges of Possession of Controlled Substance on Certain Real Property, and two-counts of Child Endangerment.

The case remains under investigation.

More dry weather speeds Iowa’s harvest

Ag/Outdoor, News

October 25th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Iowa farmers are making good progress on the harvest as well as fall field work as the dry weather continues. The weekly crop report on Monday says the dry spell is affecting soil moisture, with topsoil moisture levels at 35 percent very short and 37 percent short.

The report shows 71 percent of the corn crop has been harvested, which is about two weeks ahead of the five-year average. Fifty-nine percent of the corn is in good to excellent condition. The soybean harvest is 95 percent complete, more than two weeks ahead of the average pace.

Rain totals for the week ranged from none over much of the northeast two-thirds of Iowa to .22 inches at Underwood in Pottawattamie County in western Iowa.

DOT says another formerly-flooded roadway has reopened

News

October 24th, 2011 by Ric Hanson

Another southwest Iowa roadway that was reduced to rubble by this summer’s flooding of the Missouri River has reopened. State Highway 2 between Interstate 29 and Nebraska City opened to traffic over the weekend. Dena Gray-Fisher, with Iowa DOT, says it means the end to another pesky detour for many residents and commuters in Iowa and Nebraska.  “Everybody’s just so relieved,” Gray-Fisher says. “It’s been a long time, over four months now, and everybody’s trying to get back to normal after the Missouri River flooding.” Gray-Fisher says DOT crews are still hard at work rebuilding Interstate-680 from the Mormon Bridge to I-29 north of Council Bluffs.

“I-680 is making excellent progress,” she says. “The main line roadway, the traffic lanes, are paved now. Now, the work needs to be done as far as getting the median in shape, the shoulders, paving the ramps. There’s still quite a bit of work left but some major progress has been accomplished.” Months of churning water tore up miles of Iowa highways, crumbling the concrete. When the flood waters finally receded, some roads were left looking more like someone had dumped out a bag of gray potato chips.
