Officials with a bank based in Treynor say a $10 million project in southwest Iowa includes two new locations and expansions to its corporate office. The Omaha World-Herald reports TS Bank company, which acquired two banking groups in North Dakota this summer, is growing so it can bring more jobs to the area. Kelsey Stupfell, chief experience officer for TS Bank, told the paper they want to expand locally, and those plans include a new Council Bluffs branch to be located near North Main Street and Kanesville Boulevard. And, an Atlantic branch of TS Bank is planned for an opening in fall of 2015.
TS Bank also has purchased land in Underwood for another branch, but construction plans have not begun. Expansions also include adding 11,000 square feet for more office space at TS Bank’s corporate office in Treynor. Those renovations are expected to be completed by March 2015. In May and June, TS Banking Group acquired Bank of Tioga in Tioga, North Dakota, and Farmers State Bank of Crosby in Crosby, North Dakota.
Stupfell said the organization purchased the banks because they were in good standing credit and had similar values with TS Banking Group. At this time, those banks will keep their current names.

We have an 8-Man football game tonight on KJAN as 2-1 Adair-Casey will hit the road to visit 8th ranked Coon Rapids-Bayard. Coon Rapids-Bayard coach John Kesselring helped lead Adair-Casey to a state title as a quarterback when he was a player, but now he has to coach against his alma mater.
Kesselring says he is impressed by the Bombers speed.
Adair-Casey coach Chris Bireline was Kesselring’s high school teammate. Bireline says running back Zach Evans is his main concern when scouting the Crusaders.
Evans has run for 600 yards in the first three games and leads a potent ground attack for 3-0 Coon Rapids-Bayard.
Our pre-game show begins at 6:30 this evening with kick-off set for 7:00. You can hear it live on AM 1220, FM 101.1, online at kjan.com or on your smartphone with the free KJAN app. You can also watch the live video stream of the game on the TV page at kjan.com.
“Who’s Gonna Win?” will get our evening of high school football coverage started at 6:00 tonight.
Coming off a 7-6 win over Glenwood to open district play last week, the Atlantic football team is home to try to extend their winning streak to three games tonight as they host ADM.
The Trojans haven’t been able to muster a lot of offense so far this season, but the defense has come up big in the last two wins. Last week, the Trojans stopped the Rams twice on the one yard line, with one of those stops turning into a 99 yard, 22 play, nine-plus minute drive for the winning touchdown.
After facing three teams that predominantly run the ball, Trojans Head Coach Eric Waldstein says his team will face a 1-2 Tigers club that likes to throw the ball…..a lot!
Last week, ADM lost a 7-6 match-up with Dallas Center-Grimes that saw the Tigers throw four interceptions. Waldstein hopes his Trojan squad can cause the same type of turnover problems.
Kick-off tonight at the Trojan Bowl is set for 7:30.
You can hear more from Coach Waldstein this afternoon at 4:45 on “Trojan Preview.”
New data from the U.S. Census Bureau indicates more Iowans are living in poverty now than at the beginning of the recession. Nearly 380-thousand Iowans were living below the poverty line last year. That’s 12-point-seven percent of the state’s population or nearly one out of every eight Iowans. The poverty rate for 2013 was the same as it was the previous year, but higher than it was in 2007. Six years ago an estimated 11 percent of Iowans were living at or below poverty level.
The poverty line is considered 12-thousand dollars in annual income for an individual. For a family of four, it’s a little less than 24-thousand dollars a year. Iowa’s poverty rate is still below the nation rate of nearly 16 percent. The Census Bureau estimates the median income in Iowa was just over 52-thousand dollars in 2013. It was over a thousand dollars more at the start of the recession in 2007.
