Today wasn’t our day.  We have a lot of work to do yet.  Ben and Matt has some struggles.  Hole 7 got Ben today.  Matt just had several bogies that he needed to get pars. Cyle also struggled at times.  Just couldn’t get the putter going.  Austin continues to shoot his normal game.  Hopefully we can get him a little lower.  Mason had struggles today.  Putter wasn’t working and didn’t hit driver at all.  Braden has some work to do yet as well.  Good to see Tate and Drey get below 50.  Hopefully that continues into the rest of this week. Harley is continuing to get better.  Next match is Thursday.  Hopefully we get back to the scores that we can shoot.”

ROCK VALLEY, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a man was fatally injured when he was run over by a piece of equipment at a farm in northwest Iowa. The accident occurred Monday afternoon at the farm 4 miles west of Rock Valley. The Sioux County Sheriff’s Office says the man was run over while walking behind a payloader as it was backing up. He was taken to a local hospital and then flown to a Sioux Falls, South Dakota, hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

The Sheriff’s Office identified him as 52-year-old Bradley Peetsch, who lived in Baxter, Minnesota. The payloader driver was identified as 17-year-old Joey Van Ginkel, of Rock Valley. A payloader is a heavy vehicle with a large blade or broad scoop mounted on its front.

Northeast Iowa man accused of fatally shooting stepfather

News

April 18th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

WAUKON, Iowa (AP) — A northeast Iowa man has been accused of shooting to death his stepfather. Court records show 32-year-old John Quanrude is charged with second-degree murder. Quanrude’s next court hearing is scheduled for April 25. Police say Quanrude had called for help at his mobile home in Waukon around 3:20 p.m. Monday, saying there’d been an accidental shooting. Officers found 60-year-old Dean Russell lying face down on the home’s floor. Police say Russell was pronounced dead at a hospital.

A court document says Quanrude later told officers he’d fired a warning shot with a shotgun and then shot Russell in the chest. The document also says the two men were roommates.

Study finds livestock diseases can travel in feed and vitamins

Ag/Outdoor

April 18th, 2018 by Ric Hanson

A new study says a devastating livestock disease could be transported to the United States through animals food and vitamins — but an Iowa expert says it hasn’t happened yet. The study, released in March, put 11 viruses into samples of several different ingredients. Then, the samples went through simulated temperature and humidity conditions for a trip across land and sea. Study lead author, Scott Dee of Pipestone Veterinary Services, found seven viruses lived. “There’s a growing body of evidence that… (it’s) pretty hard to refute the fact that this could be a significant risk factor for pathogen transport between countries,” Pipestone says.

Iowa State University’s Jim Roth wasn’t involved in the study. But he looks at foreign disease threats and says the most-feared virus, foot and mouth disease, is present in China but has not yet arrived here. So, the threat is real, he says, but may not be imminent. “We’ve been bringing in feed from China, the same feed ingredients, for many years. China has had FMD-food and mouth disease-all of those years and it hasn’t gotten here in the feed,” Roth says.

Pipestone says he’s now looking to find ways to safely prevent virus survival in imported feed.
