Tornado Siren Testing Suspended Saturday for Communities in Pottawattamie County

News

May 3rd, 2024 by Ric Hanson

Pottawattamie County, Iowa – Officials in Pottawattamie County have announced the postponement of normal outdoor warning siren testing conducted on the first Saturday of each month. The postponement means there will be no siren testing in any community in Pottawattamie County on Saturday, May 4th.

The call to suspend the alert was made with consideration of the frequent use due to recent weather activity, the operation of the first Multi-Agency Resource Center (MARC) this weekend, and other ongoing work in areas impacted by the tornadoes of April 26th.

Testing will be suspended until the third Saturday of the month, on May 18th. The regularly scheduled testing will resume in June. Outdoor warning sirens are tested the first Saturday of each month (a three-minute sounding) and a battery backup test each third Saturday of the month (a one-minute sounding).

Hinson backs Anti-Semitism Awareness Act

News

May 3rd, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Iowa Congresswoman Ashley Hinson, a Republican of Marion says the anti-Semitic demonstrations on college campuses need to stop. “As a former journalist, I do believe in protecting free speech, including speech I strongly disagree with, but I don’t believe in protecting hate speech,” Hinson says. Hinson voted to support the Antisemitism Awareness Act passed by the House. “This bill requires the Department of Education to adopt the international Holocaust Remembrance Alliance’s definition of antisemitism,” Hinson says. “This will provide a consistent basis for the Department of Education, schools, colleges and universities to police this anti-Semitic discrimination and harassment.”

Hinson says the federal government must also withhold funding from those schools which fail to protect Jewish students on campus. “If these universities don’t feel morally compelled to protect Jewish students from intimidation and discrimination maybe losing some funding will force them to do the right thing,” she says. Hinson also says they should revoke the visas of foreign students who are supporting Hamas, threatening Jewish students, violating school policy, or breaking the law. “Enough is enough there is no gray area here only right or wrong,” Hinson says.

Hinson says the people who pushed back on the bill are the same ones who are pushing antisemitism. She made her comments during her weekly conference call with reporters.

Seven arrested in Sioux City prostitution sting

News

May 3rd, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Radio Iowa) – Sioux City police say seven men were charged in a recent prostitution sting. Sergeant Tom Gill says the Special Police Investigations Unit conducted the sting at a local hotel on two recent nights. Gill says prostitution has changed through the years and it is usually initiated online. “For most of the prostitution we’re seeing now along with the human trafficking and labor trafficking, exploitation of minors, that’s all done through social media and online,” he says. He says it is rare to see the crime start out in public. “I think you’ll still see sometimes some of the what they call the streetwalkers, prostitutes that are out on the street, but most of them are doing it more through social media and online, Gill says.

Gill says those who are charged are processed through the system. “The person is arrested or cited, They then have to appear in court where they’re looking at fine and short jail time,” Gill says.

The seven who were arrested ranged from a 17-year-old from South Sioux City, to a 59-year-old from Maquoketa. Two of the men were from Sioux City, one from Dakota Dunes, one from Orange City, and one from Dakota City, Nebraska.

Less than half of Iowa is currently experiencing drought conditions

Ag/Outdoor, News, Weather

May 3rd, 2024 by Ric Hanson

(Des Moines, Iowa; via the Iowa Capital Dispatch) – Drought conditions in the state continue to retreat amid abundant rainfall, according to the U.S. Drought Monitor. A Thursday report shows the biggest moisture gains in western and southern Iowa. Less than half of the state now has drought for the first time since June 2023. That’s down from about 96% of the state in October.

Last week’s statewide precipitation averaged 1.32 inches, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s about 45% more than is normally expected. The highest reported rainfall was 4.72 inches in Little Sioux in far western Iowa, whereas the least was one-tenth of an inch near Guttenberg in far northeast Iowa.

A wide area of severe drought remains in eastern Iowa, although it has been shrinking. Much of that area had previously suffered from extreme drought — the second-to-worst classification issued by the Drought Monitor — but its presence has greatly diminished. About 2% of the state has extreme drought, down from 35% at the start of the year.

Drought conditions might lift from about a quarter of the state in the coming months, according to a recent report by the U.S. Climate Prediction Center. Drought is expected to remain, but improve, in the worst-affected areas. A USDA report on Monday said about 78% of cropland has adequate or surplus soil moisture, which is slightly better than a year ago.

Crop planting has been several days ahead of the five-year average. As of Sunday, about 39% of corn and 25% of soybeans had been planted.
