Arrests expected soon in a string of motor vehicle thefts

News

February 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

The Sheriff in Crawford County says he’s confident arrests will be made soon in connection with a string of motor vehicle thefts which took place last week. Sheriff James Steinkuehler told the Omaha World-Herald Tuesday, six vehicles were stolen, five of them were full-sized pickup trucks.

Three Ford F-250 pickups were taken Thursday from a farm supply business in Dow City. Two other pickups, a Dodge Ram and a Chevy, were stolen from a residence in Arion. On Friday, a car was reported stolen from Denison.  Four of the pickups have been recovered. All three F-250s were recovered Friday, while another was recovered early Saturday.

The truck taken from Arion occurred after thieves rammed an overhead door. Surveillance cameras across the street from the storage building where the car was stolen, recorded a pickup truck backing through a roll-up door of one business, and the coupe being driven through another door. Steinkuehler said the surveillance cameras showed two of the stolen pickups near the storage building.

Anyone who has information about the thefts is asked to contact the Crawford County Sheriff’s Office at 712-263-2146. A $500 reward is being offered.

IA DNR to hold listening sessions on Fall hunting & trapping regulations

February 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

The Iowa Department of Natural Resources is hosting public meetings over the Iowa Communications Network on February 26th, from 6 to 9 p.m., to listen to the public’s thoughts on the hunting and trapping regulations for this fall. The nearest meeting locally will be held at the Creston High School. Another meeting will be held in Council Bluffs, but the location has yet to be determined. The meetings are part of the process for making rules in state government.

Dr. Dale Garner, chief of the wildlife bureau says “Any rule changes must be discussed with Iowa’s citizens who might be impacted by the changes before the rule changes are proposed. The process helps ensure that rule changes serve the public’s wishes and do not impact Iowa’s economy.”

At each meeting DNR staff will facilitate a discussion about what went well last fall, what didn’t, and what changes hunters and trappers would like to see for this fall. The discussions along with the data that the wildlife bureau collects on harvest and population numbers will be used to develop recommendations for any rule changes this fall. Any changes must be approved by the Natural Resource Commission and then go back to the public for further comment before taking effect next fall.

A complete list of the ICN meeting locations are available online at www.iowadnr.gov/hunting

February 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

Iowa’s new Travel Guide is due out this month. It contains 175 pages of destinations, maps, and ideas for things to do and see across the state. Iowa Tourism office spokesperson Jessica O’Riley says a new section this year attempts to inspire travel with categories like outdoor adventures, wineries and breweries, restaurants, or, living like a local.Iowa Travel Guide 2014

Although many vacationers have gone digital, printed copies of the travel guide are still available. “Pre-Internet days, we were printing probably 500,000 travel guides,” O’Riley said. “Now, with the use of our website increasing, were down to 125,000 (printed copies). That’s probably about where we’ll stay because we still see a demand for those from people who want a hard copy in their hands as they’re traveling the state.”

Travelers across Iowa determined the cover design of the 2014 Iowa Travel Guide, as sightseers provided the pictures and Facebook fans voted on the final photo montage. The new Travel Guide will be available next week at Iowa’s Welcome Centers or you can order one online at traveliowa.com.
