Iowa hosting national pheasant fest

Ag/Outdoor, News

February 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Iowa is playing host to a national event focused on bird hunting, wildlife conservation and dog training. Mick Klemesrud is a spokesperson for the Iowa Department of Natural Resources, a sponsor of the 2015 National Pheasant Fest and Quail Classic — this Friday through Sunday at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines. Klemesrud notes two days coincide with the State Wrestling Tournament.  “We’ll get a lot of the different vendors from the across the country that are involved in pheasant and dog training. They expect about 25,000 (people to attend) so it would be nice if we had a little bit more than that with the additional people in town,” Klemesrud says.OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

The annual Pheasants Forever event began in 2005 and was previously hosted by Iowa in 2007 and 2010. Klemesrud says pheasants may not be as plentiful in Iowa as decades ago, but they’re making a comeback. “We are not to the glory years that we were in the 1990s, but we’ve had a few upticks in our pheasant numbers and we expect to have good survival into next year,” Klemesrud says. “So, we’re going build on year-over-year pheasant numbers and if we have a good spring, we’re going to have more pheasants than even last year.”

At this weekend’s event, landowners can meet with DNR conservation officers to discuss ways they can help improve upland bird habitat. Klemesrud says the event will also include a Youth Village.  “In the Youth Village, we’ll have a lot of different entertainment and games for the kids. Our officers will have some air rifle ranges, some 3D archery and we’ll have a snowmobile simulator,” Klemesrud says.

Daily admission to Pheasant Fest is $10 for adults, $5 for children 6-16, while children 5 and under get in free. For a complete schedule of events visit www.pheasantfest.org.

Hit the brakes! Hitting that pothole could cost $700

News

February 16th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

The freeze-thaw cycle we’re in is making some monster potholes in Iowa’s streets. The road craters can ruin tires and rims, damage suspension and alignment and they can even knock the exhaust system off your vehicle. Ann Avery, a spokeswoman for State Farm Insurance in Iowa, says if there’s a lot of damage from a pothole, you may be able to file a claim. “The damage done to your car would generally be covered under the collision portion of your insurance,” Avery says. “These kinds of repairs from damage caused by a pothole can cost on average anywhere from $300 to $700. My best advice would be, if you have questions about the damage and whether it would be covered, consult your insurance professional and find out what your coverage is in this circumstance.” poth

Avery says you can’t prevent potholes but you can help protect your vehicle by driving carefully. “One suggestion would be taking roads that you know well because that familiarity can help you avoid the potholes,” she says. “Another thought would be when driving at night, travel on well-lit roads so you can see the surface and see them coming a little bit better.” If you spot a chuckhole, Avery says to brake before impact, as there’s less damage when the tire is rolling, rather than skidding over a hole during braking. She offers another tip:

“Slow down, give yourself a chance to see the pothole and that way you can avoid it before you’re in it,” she says. “If you do hit a pothole, carefully inspect your tires and your wheels for possible damage. Think about how your car is handling, if it’s pulling one way or the other, if the steering feels wobbly, you might want to have your car checked by a professional.” She reminds, always check with your agent first to see what is — and what is not — covered.
