DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) – Gov. Terry Branstad has launched a new state website that he says will help encourage efforts to reduce water pollution in Iowa. Branstad announced the website Monday. He says it will provide information to rural and urban residents as part of a wide-ranging approach to enhancing water quality in the state.
Iowa recently came to a deal with federal authorities to inspect more livestock farms and strictly enforce penalties when manure leaks into rivers or streams. That came after a long dispute over enforcing the U.S. Clean Water Act. Environmental groups note that 479 lakes, rivers and streams in the state are listed as impaired by the EPA. A wet spring this year caused some rivers in central Iowa to record the highest nitrate levels ever.
The Shelby County Emergency Management Agency has updated the fire danger warning signs in the county. The fire danger signs remain in the “Moderate” category, for the third straight week. Bob Seivert, Emergency Management Coordinator, said the harvest is moving nicely and rain is in the forecast later in the week. If you are planning a burn, contact your local fire chief before igniting. The Shelby County EMA will update the situation again on Thursday.
The Audubon County Sheriff’s Office reports the arrest on Saturday of 33-year old Jason Arthur Malloy, of Audubon.

Sheriff’s officials also say no injuries were reported following an accident Friday morning, in Exira. A vehicle driven by 28-year old Crystal Michelle Parker, of Exira, was backing out of a driveway on the west side of North Kilworth Street, when her 1996 Olds hit a southbound car driven by 56-year old Janell Fay Bluml, of Audubon. Authorities say Parker didn’t see Bluml’s 2001 Buick approaching, and struck her car on the left front corner, causing a total of $2,000 damage. The accident happened at around 11-a.m. Officials say Parker was cited for Unsafe backing.
