(Shenandoah, Iowa) – A man from Shenandoah was arrested late Tuesday evening on drug charges, following a traffic stop. Shenandoah Police say 50-year-old Neal Jay Williams was pulled over at around 10:50-p.m. in the 200 block of South Fremont Street, for an equipment violation.
During an investigation, the K9 “Remmi” was deployed, and alerted to the odor of narcotics. An additional investigation resulted in Williams’ arrest for possession of a controlled substance–methamphetamine, possession of a controlled substance–marijuana, and two counts of possession of drug paraphernalia.
He posted a $2,600 bond and was released with a date to appear in court.
Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz confirmed Spencer Petras will start at quarterback when the 15th ranked Hawkeyes play number two Michigan in the Big Ten Championship. Petras missed two games with an injured shoulder but relieved Alex Padilla in the second half of a 28-21 win at Nebraska.
Ferentz says there is no plan to rotate quarterbacks on Saturday.
Ferentz says one of the advantages for Petras is his experience.
Iowa is 10-2 and will be in the title game for the first time since 2015.
A key will be handling Michigan defensive ends Aidan Hutchinson and David Ojabo (uh-jaw-boh). Hutchinson was named the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year.
Ferentz says a key in preparing for a championship game is handling all of the obligations away from the field.
(Radio Iowa) – The I-R-S has dubbed this “National Tax Security Awareness Week” in an effort to remind you to keep your personal information safe. Spokesman, Christopher Miller, says the end of the year is a problem time. “We normally see scams spike during the holiday season — but we’re expecting it will be worse this year — because the crooks are finding new ways and new buzz words to attract new victims,” Miller says.
He says there are two new scam buzzwords in particular that should send you a warning. “COVID and stimulus payments. Which we know are unique words for these unique times,” according to Miller. “So we want people to watch out for criminals using new tactics. In fact — we know in Iowa alone just this year the Federal Trade Commission received more than two-thousand cases of fraud and I-D theft related to just those two unique terms,” he says. Miller says those types of fraud cost Iowans one-point-eight million dollars. “And more than 300 of those cases were related to online shopping. So, we know this continues to be a significant problem that isn’t going away — and we want people to be on the lookout,” Miller says.
Miller says scammers will try to send you files and links to open up that will infect your computer or try to get you to give up personal information. He says there is one thing you can know for certain. “The I-R-S will not send unsolicited emails or text or social media posts asking for personal or financial information — that’s not the way the I-R-S does business. In fact, most legitimate companies will not ask for personal or financial information over email, text or social media posts.”
He says you can get more information on what to look for and what to avoid at their website: IRS.gov.
(Radio Iowa) – Iowa farmers who attended the “COP 26” climate summit in Glasgow, Scotland say agriculture is finally being welcomed to the discussions. Ray Gaesser of Ankeny represented the group, “Solutions from the Land,” as one of the nearly 40-thousand official participants. Gaesser says after years of fighting to get into the meetings, farmers are being given a seat at the table. “We’re having a presence finally of agriculture at the UN meetings,” Gaesser says. “The climate discussion started out ten or 15 years ago with no agriculture involved and it’s really important that we share our story and how we will make a difference for the climate and still feed people.”
U-S-D-A officials contacted the group prior to the 26th annual COP, or Conference of the Parties, asking members to meet with U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack. Gaesser says they provided input on how agriculture can help to slow climate change. “The message that USDA is sharing has been the message that we’ve had from Solutions from the Land for several years, about farmers being a part of the solution,” he says, “that one-size-fits-all regulations are inadequate, that we are very diverse in agriculture, not only within our state but within our nation.”
Gaesser says agriculture is utilizing nature’s energy sources in solar and wind as well as biofuels. He hopes those elements will be integrated into U-S-D-A’s climate change mitigation and a possible climate bank. “We have made an impact because their message is very similar to what ours is,” he says. “It’s about agriculture being part of the solution. It’s about farmers making a difference and providing opportunities, and it’s about all the innovations that we’re doing in agriculture in the United States.”
Still, he says farmers at COP 26 faced more aggressive anti-meat rhetoric about how methane emissions from livestock globally have grown over time and production should be eliminated. Gaesser says much of the animal agriculture message was just not accurate.

Jacy Kralik sank 8 straight free throws late in the fourth quarter to help Creston seal a 52-41 win over Atlantic in girls hoops on Tuesday in Atlantic. Kralik also hit three big 3-pointers in the game to lead the Panthers with 17 points. Brianna Fields added 11 and Gracie Hagle had 9.
Creston led 18-10 at the end of the first quarter but Atlantic used a 6 point run early in the second to get back in the game. Creston converted a three point play by Morgan Driskell to go up 25-20 at half. The Trojans would get within 1 at 27-26 in the third before Kralik hit her second three of the night to start a 7-0. Atlantic used a fouling strategy in the last few minutes to try to extend the game, and did get within 3 late before Kralik started to seal it at the line. Atlantic head coach Dan Vargason felt good about the improvement the Trojans made from the opener.
Freshman Paytn Harter had another solid outing for Atlantic with 19 points and Coach Vargason liked the way she played and the way the team fed her the ball.
Jada Jensen got going in the second half with 8 of her 10 points, that was something they knew they needed to have happen.
Creston improved to 2-1 win the victory. Atlantic falls to 0-2 and faces a very tough test from top ranked Glenwood on Friday. We’ll have that game on a KJANTV broadcast just before 6:00pm Friday.
