News

December 5th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

An accident late Friday night in Council Bluffs resulted in two people hurt and the driver of the vehicle arrested for OWI. Bluffs Police said 19-year old Jacob Willey was driving a black 2004 Dodge Ram pickup southbound on Valley View Drive at around 11:54-p.m., when the truck went onto the southbound shoulder. Willey overcorrected, causing the vehicle to leave the northbound shoulder of Valley View. The truck then slid into the ditch and overturned several times before coming to rest.

Bluffs BadgeNeither Willey, nor his passengers, 20-year old’s Ryan D. Higginbotham and Megan E. Wolff, were wearing seat belts. All of the crash victims are from Council Bluffs. Wolff reported to authorities that she was ejected during the crash. She suffered broken bones and abrasions. Higginbotham also suffered from abrasions. Both were transported to UNMC for treatment.

None of the injuries are considered life threatening. Willey was arrested and processed for Operating While Intoxicated First Offense and Failure to Maintain Control of a Motor Vehicle. He was turned over to Pottawattamie County Corrections staff. Authorities remind you…”Don’t drink and drive, designate a driver.”

Euken earns Bob Joslin Excellence in Ag Award

Ag/Outdoor, News

December 4th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

Officials with the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation (IFBF) say the passion Stacie Euken has for agriculture is clear from her countless leadership positions with various organizations and dedicated work to help tell the story of Iowa agriculture. Euken’s commitment to youth interested in agriculture and contributions to the local community has earned her the 2015 Bob Joslin Excellence in Agriculture Award from the Iowa Farm Bureau Federation.

Stacie Euken

Stacie Euken

Euken received the award at the 97th IFBF annual meeting in Des Moines on Dec. 2nd. The award honors a young farmer who demonstrates outstanding leadership qualities in Farm Bureau, agriculture, and his/her community. Euken and her husband Eric own and operate a diversified farm operation near Wiota, consisting of corn, soybeans, alfalfa, a cow/calf herd, beef feedlot, and a small farrow-to-finish niche swine operation.

Euken has been an active leader in Iowa agriculture for many years, first joining the Cass County Farm Bureau board of directors in 2008. While serving on the county board, Euken has twice been elected membership chair, served as vice president, and is currently in her third year as the county president.

Stacie’s passion is sharing the story of Iowa agriculture with as many people as possible, and that includes helping others share that message. Euken was instrumental in helping organize a Teachers Academy through the Iowa Ag Literacy Foundation to provide farm tours to teachers and share ways to incorporate agriculture education into their classrooms. Additionally, Euken volunteers for the Cass County 4-H, Atlantic FFA Alumni Chapter, Iowa Pork Producers Association, and is a member of the Iowa Corn Growers Association, Iowa Soybean Association, and Iowa Cattlemen’s Association.

As the Joslin Award winner, Euken receives a $1,500 Home and Workshop certificate
from John Deere, the award sponsor, a 90-day no-principle and no-interest (NPNI)
John Deere Financial Certificate up to $5,000, a $750 FAST STOP gift card from
GROWMARK, and expense-paid trips to the 2016 American Farm Bureau Federation (AFBF) Annual Convention in Orlando, and the 2016 GROWMARK annual meeting in Chicago in August.

The Excellence in Ag Award is given in memory of Bob Joslin, who served as IFBF
president from January 1986 to December 1987 and was known for his support and
encouragement of young farmers.

December 4th, 2015 by Ric Hanson

One died and two others were injured during a rollover accident Friday morning, in Pottawattamie County. Council Bluffs Police say a front seat passenger in a 2004 Mazda driven by 16-year old Kaitlyn Renshaw, of Council Bluffs, was partially ejected from the vehicle and died when it landed on its side following the crash that happened at around 10:20-a.m. The victim was identified as 16-year old Haley Wright, from Council Bluffs.

Officials say the car was traveling westbound on Interstate 80 near mile marker 4 when the vehicle went out of control, and rolled over, sliding down an embankment on the north side of the road before coming to rest. Renshaw suffered significant, but non-life threatening injuries. A rear seat passenger in the car, 16-year old Ethan Conger, of Council Bluffs,  suffered minor injuries. Both were transported to the University of Nebraska Medical Center, in Omaha.

The accident remains under investigation by the Council Bluffs Police Department’s Special Operations Unit.
