Thousands of fans are expected to head to Ames for the first Iowa State home football game Saturday. I-S-U Police Chief Michael Newton says a new pedestrian bridge on the east side of Jack Trice Stadium should help with all the extra traffic.
Officers have had to stop cars to let pedestrians cross the street safely, and now they can just walk across the bridge.
There is a new R-V parking lot that will feed into the bridge too. Newton says there are not a lot of changes for those who attend the game.
Newton reminds everyone to park legally for the game.
Newton says to give yourself extra time to get to your parking area, as there will be lots of traffic for the game. The Cyclones face Southeast Missouri State at 1 p-m.

(Radio Iowa) – Retail giant Walmart bought a minority share in a Nebraska beef packing plant on Wednesday, what an Iowa cattleman says is a “seismic shift” in the beef processing industry.
Chad Tentinger, principal developer of Cattlemen’s Heritage Beef Company, says the move is historic — and it was inevitable. “We’ve already seen it in other avenues, in pork and we’ve seen it in chicken, I think beef is just the next natural progression of that,” Tentinger says. “It also is going to be another playing field. I think anytime you can bring the farmer’s product closer to the end user — to retail — is a good thing long-term.” 
Cattlemen’s Heritage is planning to build a $325 million beef packing plant in southwest Iowa’s Mills County. Tentinger says Walmart’s move this week is what he sees for the future, which he says represents a “massive, fundamental change” to the beef industry. “It started out as stockyards and stockyards sold to packing plants, and then the stockyards went away and then farmers sold directly to the packing plant. Packing plants got consolidated into what we call the Big Four today and for the first time in a very long time, now there’s other industry that’s getting into this process,” Tentinger says. “So to have retailers enter the processing business is a drastic shift than what we’ve ever seen before.”
Tentinger sees Walmart’s investment in the North Platte property as the first step by retail into beef production, which he predicts will be good for the consumer and good for the cattle producer. “Retailers, at the end of the day, they want to know where their meat’s coming from. They want to know exactly, down to what farm it came off of, potentially, where it came from, animal health, wellbeing, all these things are becoming more and more important to the consumer,” Tentinger says. “And when you have that, it automatically draws off smaller producer farms and smaller family farms.”
It may only be a matter of time, he says, before Iowa-based grocery chains like Hy-Vee or Fareway make a similar move to Walmart by investing in localized meat processing. “I think every retailer nationwide today is taking note of this and looking at the opportunities going forward in the processing business, for sure,” he says.
Tentinger is founder and owner of TenCorp, a cattle industry construction firm with offices in Des Moines and Marcus. The planned beef plant in Mills County is on target to begin construction late this fall, Tentinger says, with the opening scheduled for late 2024. It will employ up to 750 workers and at capacity, will be able to process up to 1,500 head of cattle per day.
(Radio Iowa) – A former northeast Iowa policeman has been arrested and charged with sexual exploitation of a minor. According to the Iowa Department of Public Safety, a minor told local law enforcement in early March that Clarksville police officer Mike Tobin had shown them sexually explicit photos and videos, including nude images of minors. The material was evidence in a pending criminal case.
Tobin was fired the next day, but in May, KWWL reported that the Clarksville City Council voted to rescind Tobin’s firing and accepted his resignation instead. Tobin was arrested today (Thursday), and charged with three felony counts of sexual exploitation of a minor and eight aggravated misdemeanors related to sexual exploitation of a minor.
Council Bluffs, Iowa – Mark Shoemaker, Executive Director of Pottawattamie County Conservation, was recently appointed President of the Council Bluffs Convention & Visitors Bureau (CBCVB) Board of Directors. Shoemaker, who’s been a Pottawattamie County employee since 1993, has served as a CBCVB Board Member since July 2016. Following a brief absence from the board, he’s been the Vice President since August 2020. “This is a very exciting opportunity,” said Shoemaker. “The CBCVB has an outstanding staff and to be able to continue to work with them in this capacity is truly an honor.”
The mission of the Council Bluffs Convention & Visitors Bureau is to serve as a catalyst to grow Pottawattamie County’s visitor economy through collaborative sales and marketing, destination advocacy, and sustainable placemaking activities in order to enhance the region’s quality of life. Shoemaker sees obvious cross-over with his work for Pottawattamie County Conservation.
“When you talk about highlighting the great things Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County have to offer, some of that appeal starts with our natural landscape and what we’re able to do with Conservation,” he said. “There are so many things in place to allow us to be leaders in tourism in the state of Iowa and across the Midwest.”
Mark Shoemaker
As CBCVB Board President, Shoemaker will now chair monthly board meetings and provide direction and assistance to staff. Mark Eckman, Executive Director for CBCVB, says Shoemaker displays passion and offers a wealth of experience, having led Pottawattamie Conservation since 1997. “As a board member, Mark has helped lead the CBCVB as it has achieved its most significant accomplishments,” said Eckman. “These include the purchase of its office building, being designated as an Iowa Welcome Center, and receiving seven Iowa Tourism Awards during the past six years”
Shoemaker’s appointment came during the CBCVB Board of Directors meeting Thursday, August 25th. He says his primary goal is to keep things moving in a positive direction. “I just want to see us continue to grow and compete with CVB’s across the state,” said Shoemaker. “The board and staff are already making that a reality but continuing to market Council Bluffs by attracting high quality and meaningful events to the area is important.”
