(Radio Iowa) — The backup in the propane supply in Iowa is not expected to end very quickly. Iowa Agriculture Secretary Mike Naig says it continues to be a demand issue with farmers needing propane to dry crops and others needing it to heat their homes. “It’s not that there’s not enough propane in the country — it has to do with the logistics of getting it where it needs to go,” Naig says. He says it doesn’t look like there will be a big change in the situation anytime soon. “The things that are going to help alleviate that are getting the harvest completed and warmer temperatures,” Naig says. “I don’t think we are going to see any of those two in the immediate future.”
Suppliers have had to send trucks long distances to get propane and Naig says that may show up in the price. “The price will rise to accommodate for transportation issues if there are any. We hear about some folks putting surcharges on — it’s logical — it needs to be reasonable. If a supplier is having to drive to Kansas to get the supply — they will have to pass some of that cost on to consumers,” according to Naig. “We will be watching that situation closely.”
He says they would take action if they see the price being raised just to take advantage of the delays in getting propane.
(Radio Iowa) — December 21st is -supposed- to be the first day of winter this year but a peek outside shows it’s already here. Heavy snowfall overnight dropped almost a half-foot of flakes on some areas of the state and near-record cold temperatures are expected tonight (Monday). Meteorologist Kurt Kotenberg, at the National Weather Service, says much of the snowfall was concentrated between Highway 30 and Interstate 80. “The Des Moines metro, here at the office in Johnston, we had 4.4 inches of snow,” Kotenberg says. “There’s a place in Benton County with 4.8 inches, Cedar Rapids had 5.8 inches. Spreading outwards from there, one to two inches as you get toward Fort Dodge, Waterloo had three-and-a-half inches.”

Some schools had late starts this morning due to the wintry weather, while many fender benders were reported across the state’s midsection as roads are very slick. Even where it’s stopped snowing, hazards remain. “We’ll continue to have winds going from north to south at around 15 to 25 miles per hour with gusts nearing 30 miles an hour here and there,” Kotenberg says. “That could cause blowing and drifting of snow, especially on untreated roadways, so definitely take it easy if you’re out there, if you’re traveling.”
The all-time record low temperature for this date at the Des Moines International Airport is four degrees, while the forecast for this evening calls for a low of three-degrees. “We’re also going to have a little bit of wind speed so that’s going to bring the wind chills down to anywhere between zero and minus-ten degrees across much of Iowa,” Kotenberg says. “Towards the northern tier of counties, they’ll be in the minus-ten to minus-15 degree range. Not quite wind chill advisory but definitely hat and gloves and try to minimize the amount of time you spend outside.”
Forecasters says another wintry blast is predicted to arrive late Wednesday afternoon and into Thursday morning with the potential to drop another one-to-three inches of snow. Kotenberg says they’re still watching that developing storm to see exactly where the snow will fall and how much.

DES MOINES, Iowa – A fourth-quarter rally from 17-down came up just short as Iowa State (1-1) fell to Drake (2-0) 86-81 Sunday afternoon at the Knapp Center.
The Cyclones found themselves in a 57-40 hole halfway through the third quarter, but were able to rally within a single point on two occasions, but never take the final step to get ahead.
Leading the way was Kristin Scott, who recorded 22 points on 9-of-12 shooting, including four 3-pointers and a 15-point fourth-quarter effort. Ashley Joens had 18 points nine rebounds and five assists, while Rae Johnson had 10 points and six assists.
How It Happened
The Iowa State offense was outstanding, hitting eight of its 12 first-quarter shots, including 3-of-4 from 3-point range, to amass a lead of as many as eight points at 21-13 on a Jade Thurmon floater. However, the home Bulldogs were able to four 3-pointers of their own to cut the visitors’ lead down to four points at the end of the first.
Drake was able to maintain the momentum into the second quarter, as the Bulldogs moved ahead 28-26 on a Maggie Negaard 3-pointer, and eventually got ahead five, 33-28, on a Sara Rhine lay-in. Foul trouble started to become a concern for both teams, as Adriana Camber, Inès Nezerwa and Madison Wise all reached two fouls, while three Bulldogs joined them with two fouls. Drake was able to ride it out, bringing a five-point lead into the locker room at 39-34.
The Bulldogs continued to pile it in from deep, as four 3-pointers on five attempts to open the second half brought their lead to double figures at 57-40. The pace picked up late in the quarter, which ISU was able to take advantage of to whittle away at the Drake lead, getting it down to single digits via a 10-point quarter from Ashley Joens.
Joens’ put-back to open the fourth cut the Drake lead to six at 64-58, and were about to narrow it further to a single point via a five-point run by Kristen Scott down to 70-69. Joens cut the Drake lead down to one again at 76-75, but the Bulldogs offense got back-to-back buckets from Rhine and Brenni Rose to get ahead again by six and for good. Scott hit a pair of 3-pointers in the final minute to help keep the Cyclones in the hunt.

(Radio Iowa) — Four former Iowa State University students who were killed while serving in World War Two and Vietnam will be honored on this Veterans Day (Monday) during I-S-U’s annual Gold Star Hall ceremony. Kristin Erdman, spokeswoman for the I-S-U Memorial Union, says family members of each of the four servicemen will be at the ceremony. “We include as many Iowa State students as we can to help us tell the stories,” Erdman says. “We have ROTC students who present the colors through the flags in the ceremony, we have buglers and singers from the ROTC program who help us start off the ceremony, and then we invite members of the Iowa State community to help us tell the narratives.”
Gold Star Hall includes the names of nearly 600 Iowa Staters who have died in war: in World War One, World War Two, Korea, Vietnam, Somalia, and in the Global War on Terrorism. The ceremony is held every year on the Ames campus on the Monday of Veterans’ Week. “We tell the stories of three or four individuals from the day they were born, though their upbringing and then how they got involved in military service and what happened while they were serving,” Erdman says. “We also have memorabilia from the families of each of those individuals on tables there so they can get even more information about who these people were and what their lives were like.”
Former students’ names are engraved on the Gold Star Hall walls if they attended I-S-U full-time for one or more semesters and died while in military service in a war zone. As more names become known, they are added to the wall. Current students are urged to attend the ceremony so they can see just how much in common they have with these fallen heroes. “These students were maybe not doing well in their classes just like them, or they were fraternity brothers. Maybe they had a crush on a girl they saw in the MU commons,” Erdman says. “We just want students to really understand that the people who died and whose names are on the wall are just like they are today.”
The 75th anniversary of D-Day and the Battle of the Bulge will also be recognized this afternoon. The Gold Star Hall ceremony is free and open to the public. It will be held at 3:15 p-m at Memorial Union Great Hall. This year’s honorees are:
Schuyler (SKY-lur) Wheeler, of Boone, who studied dairy industry at Iowa State from 1939 to 1941. He joined the U.S. Army on July 12, 1942. Wheeler was killed December 15, 1944, while trying to help liberate Ensdorf, Germany.
John Fuller, of Milford, who studied general engineering at Iowa State from 1938 to 1941. He enlisted in the U.S. Army Air Corps on January 15, 1942. He was killed during the Battle of the Bulge near Bastogne, Belgium, on December 23, 1944.
Meredith DeRoy Winter, of Dysart, studied chemistry at Iowa State from 1938 to 1943. He joined the U.S. Marine Corps in September 1943. Winter was killed February 28, 1945, during the Battle of Iwo Jima.
Kennith Tapscott, of Charleston, South Carolina, studied political science at Iowa State from 1963 to 1967. He enlisted in the U.S. Navy to serve in the Vietnam War. Tapscott died August 6, 1970, in Song Ong Doc, South Vietnam.
The former attorney for Adair County has died. A notice from Steen Funeral Home in Greenfield said 61-year old Clint Hight, who resigned late last June, died Sunday, at his home. Hight, who was also a private practice attorney, was in his second term as Adair County Attorney when he submitted his resignation to the Adair County Board of Supervisors. He cited a recent medical diagnosis as his reason for stepping-down.
