Gov. Terry Branstad and Lt. Gov. Kim Reynolds today (Friday) announced that the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) has approved the Branstad/Reynolds Administration’s request for a temporary waiver of income restrictions on federal housing tax credit properties throughout the state to assist Iowans who may have been displaced by the Missouri River flooding last summer. The Iowa Finance Authority administers the federal housing tax credit program in Iowa and a listing of properties is available at: www.IowaFinanceAuthority.gov/EmergencyHousing.
Branstad says “The IRS approval of our request for affordable housing relief means that hundreds of Iowans who may have been displaced by the Missouri River flooding, but may not have been income-qualified to live at a federal housing tax property now have that option.” Reynolds says “Having adequate housing is at the core of strong families and vibrant communities. By allowing Iowans who have been displaced by the floods access to hundreds of affordable housing properties throughout the state, we’re arming them with a tool that will be vital in their rebuilding process.”
Eligible Iowans must have resided in one of the five counties that were designated for Individual Assistance by the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) during the period of May 25, 2011, to August 1, 2011. These counties include: Fremont, Harrison, Mills, Monona and Pottawattamie counties. More than 1,200 Iowans have registered for FEMA Individual Assistance as of December 19, 2011.
An Atlantic man was arrested Thursday on a warrant for Domestic Abuse Assault. According to Atlantic Police, 24-year old Ryan Juhl was taken into custody and booked into the Cass County Jail, where he was being held pending an appearance before a magistrate.
The Atlantic Police Department says also, no injuries were reported following two separate accidents, Thursday. Officials say Jenna Kaufmann, of Anita, was given a warning for Failure to Obey a Traffic Light, after her vehicle collided with a vehicle being driven by Janice Peterson, of Atlantic. The accident happened at around 3:45-p.m. Thursday, at the intersection of 5th and Chestnut Streets. Damage from the collision amounted to $2,500.
The second accident happened at around 9:30-p.m., on Fair Ridge Circle, when vehicles driven by Blake Stender and Trey Lovell, both of Atlantic, collided on a curve in the road, as they approached a legally parked vehicle from opposite directions. Damage from the accident amounted to $3,200. No citations were issued.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Ethanol production in Iowa has increased to a record 3.7 billion gallons in 2011. The Des Moines Register says production for the state’s 41 plants has jumped by about 200 million gallons from last year. Monte Shaw, the executive director of the Iowa Renewable Fuels Association, says the industry has relied on export markets for growth. The overall production for ethanol in the U.S. for 2011 is estimated at 13.8 billion gallons,. Foreign sales of U.S. ethanol have added an additional 1 billion gallons of production this year. Much of the foreign demand has come from Brazil. A shortfall in the sugar cane crop caused that nation to turn to imports for domestic use.
