Cass County Board of Supervisors would like to see new operator at Willow Heights facility

News

October 1st, 2021 by admin

The Cass County Board of Supervisors met for their end of the month session on Thursday morning in the board room at the Cass County Courthouse. The board had two major points of discussion during the meeting.

The first discussion was with regard to continuing a 28E agreement with the Iowa DNR in regard to well coverage in the County. The County Sanitarian representative was in attendance to clear up some questions in regard to what wells are covered and what the rules should be throughout the County.

The next major discussion topic was in regard to the impending closure of the Willow Heights mental health and disability facility. Southwest Iowa Mental Health and Disability Services Region CEO Suzanne Watson was in attendance to talk about the transition process. Work is in progress to find new homes for the current Willow Heights residents. There has been a push from the Federal level to integrate resource center residents into smaller, community based, residential settings. The Board expressed their desire to find a new tenant to operate the Willow Heights facility as it operates now. Watson warned that it would probably be tough to find another operation that wants to come in unless staff is retained and they would need to properly vet any new operator to assure quality care. The board is going to continue to look for a new operator if possible.

Drought conditions worsen in much of Iowa

Ag/Outdoor, News

October 1st, 2021 by admin

(Radio Iowa) The latest drought monitor reflects the lack of rain we’ve seen in the state in September. The D-N-R’s Tim Hall some areas that were in D-1 moderate drought have now moved to the D-2 severe drought category.

Only about 24 percent of the state is reporting NO drought conditions — down from about 25 percent last week. Hall says we shift at the end of September from the growing season — or “water year” concerns to the subsoil moisture concerns.

He says the need to bank moisture for next year varies across the state.

Hall says one positive is the plants are not pulling water from the ground and the cooler weather leads to less moisture lost from evaporation.

He says there can be replenishing rains in October and November — but the odds get worse deeper into fall.

Halls says 2020 was also a dry year — so the state started out behind and hasn’t been able to fully replenish the groundwater through this year.

Atlantic welcomes in 3A #1 Harlan on Friday

Sports

September 30th, 2021 by admin

Trojan LogoThe Atlantic Trojans (1-4, 0-1) get to stay home this week after back to back road trips but they will face a very tough test from the Class 3A #1 ranked Harlan Cyclones (5-0, 1-0). The Trojans are coming off a very tough week in a number of ways. The team has been mourning the loss of a teammates father and then had the game last week against ADM end early after a scary injury to Garrett McLaren that stopped play late in the third quarter. Atlantic Head Coach Joe Brummer said the team has handled everything very well, all things considered, and it’s been a good week of practice. McLaren is doing well and has been back at school and around his teammates.

The Trojans this week will try to slow down a high powered offensive attack from the Cyclones. Quarterback Teagon Kasperbauer has thrown for 1,130 yards and 16 touchdowns with just 3 interceptions. Aidan Hall has picked up the rushing work for the Cyclones and has scored 8 times on the ground. Coach Brummer said quickness is an overwhelming theme from the Cyclones.

Harlan the past couple of seasons has thrown the ball around more than is traditional for their very successful program. Coach Brummer said he sees it as them just playing to the strengths of their personnel.

Atlantic had some early success against ADM last week by taking the ball away two times. Coach Brummer said that has been a continued point of emphasis for the team is to try to take the ball away and play good assignment football. The offense has been inconsistent but has played well in small stretches.

We’ll have coverage of the Trojans and the Cyclones with a video only broadcast on KJANTV. Chris Parks and Mike Smith will have the coverage with pregame at 6:30 p.m. and kickoff at 7:00 p.m. You can hear a full interview with Coach Brummer on Trojan Preview on KJAN at 4:45 p.m. leading into our coverage of Iowa Hawkeye Football. Due to the Iowa game being on the radio our weekly pick ’em show Who’s Gonna Win? will air at 4:15 p.m. instead of 6:00 p.m.
