Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press at 3:40 a.m. CST

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Several days of strong winds in late October arrived at the wrong time for many farmers who saw their crops shrink as ears of corn fell to the ground in Nebraska and western Iowa. The damage varied, but in the hardest hit parts of central Nebraska some farmers reported yields dropping from an estimated 250 bushels an acre before the wind to 190 bushels afterward.

SIOUX CITY , Iowa (AP) — Tossing trash on the ground or spitting on the sidewalk will no longer carry the possibility of jail time in Sioux City. The Sioux City Journal reports the City Council recently scaled back the number of violations that specify imprisonment as an optional penalty. Before the move, littering and spitting on a sidewalk carried up to 30 days in jail. Fines for those offenses _ ranging from $65 to more than $600 _ remain in effect.

DAVENPORT, Iowa (AP) — A Texas woman has been found guilty of vehicular homicide for a Jan. 30 Davenport crash that killed 53-year-old Cynthia Elaine Jones. The Quad-City Times reports that in a ruling Friday, a judge rejected 58-year-old Lauria Lee Kelly’s defense that she was insane at the time of the crash. Kelly, of Alvarado, Texas, faces up to 10 years in prison when she is sentenced Jan. 24.

CHARLES CITY, Iowa (AP) — A Charles City man has been sentenced to up to 50 years in prison for the June shooting death of another man. The Courier reports that 36-year-old Antoine Williams was sentenced Friday for second-degree murder. Iowa law says he must serve nearly 38 years before he can be released. Williams was found guilty by a Floyd County jury in October of killing 36-year-old Nathaniel Fleming on June 30 in Charles City.

City attorney Nicole DuBois says a change in state law that goes into effect next year spurred the action. The change requires cities to reimburse defense costs in cases where some defendants are prosecuted for misdemeanor city ordinance violations that carry jail time as a sentencing option.

OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Several days of strong winds in late October arrived at the wrong time for many farmers who saw their crops shrink as ears of corn fell to the ground in Nebraska and western Iowa.

The damage varied, but in the hardest hit parts of central Nebraska some farmers reported yields dropping from an estimated 250 bushels an acre before the wind to 190 bushels afterward.

Overall, the Nebraska corn crop is still estimated to be a good one with 1.66 billion bushels, but the Agriculture Department’s prediction is down from September’s 1.72 billion bushel forecast. But the wind damage will make it harder for many Nebraska farmers to break even because commodity prices were already low.

A single-vehicle accident late Saturday night in western Iowa’s Monona County has claimed a life. The Iowa State Patrol reports the crash happened at around 11:40-p.m. on Monona County road L-20 south of Ticonic (about 8-miles west of Mapleton), where a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer went out of control and entered a ditch. The SUV rolled numerous times, ejecting the driver, 31-year old Mathew Davis, of Castana. The crash was discovered by a passing motorist.

The accident remains under investigation.

Adams County Sheriff’s Deputies responding to a noise complaint near 7th and Loomis in Corning at around 5:20-a.m. today (Sunday), arrested Timothy Michael Vandevender, of Corning, for OWI/2nd offense. He was also cited for Open Container and a Driver.

Central Iowa’s newest industrial park is being developed on more than 700 acres of mostly farmland on the east side of Ames. City leaders hope to attract some large-scale manufacturing operations. Dan Culhane, president of the Ames Economic Development Commission, says they’re working with Alliant Energy to develop the property and to allow for easy access to Interstate 35 and to rail lines.

Culhane says, “I think we see advanced manufacturing, we see bio-renewable opportunities out there, a wide variety of industries that would be well-suited out there.”  The Prairie View Industrial Center is east of I-35 and north of Highway 30 and stretches to the Nevada city limits. Culhane says he’s in the early stages of recruiting manufacturers and distributors.

“The sewer and water won’t be extended until sometime in ’18,” Culhane says, “but the size and scale of the facilities that will likely go out here, those will take 18-to-24 months to build anyway and so we’re actively marketing.” The 730 acres will be broken into five lots. They will sell for 25-thousand dollars an acre.
