Flags ordered at Half-Staff Friday for Iowa/Nebraska Marine & others killed in Afghanistan - 9-17-21 -
Iowa Governor Kim Reynolds has ordered flags to fly at half-staff across the State, Friday, in honor of a Marine from Red Oak who was killed last month during a suicide bombing in Afghanistan. Twenty-three-year-old Daegan William-Tyeler Page and 12 other US service members were killed in the August 26th ISIS attack near the Kabul airport.
The order calls for the flags to be lowered from sunrise to sunset on Friday, September 17. Reynolds says flags will be at half-staff on the State Capitol Building, all public buildings, grounds and facilities throughout the state. Individuals, businesses, schools, municipalities, counties, and other government subdivisions are encouraged to fly flags at the same time as a sign of respect.
Governor Kim Reynolds said in her order, “I join with Iowans and the nation in honoring the selfless and dedicated service of Cpl. Daegan Page who was taken much too soon. His sacrifice will serve as a constant reminder that the freedoms and liberties we enjoy as a country come at a heavy cost.” Page grew up in Red Oak and went to high school in Omaha. The Purple Heart recipient will be buried today with full military honors in Omaha.

Drought conditions getting worse in Iowa – 9-17-21 -
The US Drought Monitor shows drought conditions are getting slightly worse in Iowa once again. The report, released Thursday, shows areas of severe and moderate drought are unchanged, but abnormally dry areas now account for 77% of the state, up from 69% a week ago. Only 22% of the state is considered to have normal soil moisture, down from 30% last week. There’s not much change in the number of counties affected by abnormally dry conditions. All of Adair, much of Cass and Montgomery Counties are considered abnormally dry, along with portions of Mills, Fremont, Page, Audubon and Guthrie Counties. Much of Dallas and a section of Guthrie County are experiencing Moderate Drought conditions. Across the Midwest, short-term dryness has begun to expand across southern and eastern sections of the region, favoring summer crop maturation by reducing topsoil moisture. Meanwhile, long-term drought issues persisted across the upper Midwest, despite some recent rainfall. By September 12th, the US Department of Agriculture reported that topsoil moisture was at least one-third very short to short in each Midwestern State except Wisconsin, led by Indiana at 47%.

Fall Signals the Beginning of Influenza Season 9-9-21 -
As summer turns to fall, it is once again time to start thinking about preparing for influenza. The best way to protect yourself and your loved ones against influenza is to get a flu vaccine every flu season. Flu is a contagious respiratory disease that can lead to serious illness. This year, it is especially important to get your flu vaccination. Myrtue Medical Center and all other health systems will once again be handling two circulating viruses this fall, influenza and COVID-19. By getting vaccinated against the flu, you’re protecting yourself and your community from influenza illness. For those that are healthy and want to receive both an influenza vaccine and a COVID-19 vaccine, current CDC guidance allows for co-administration of COVID-19 vaccine with other vaccine, including flu vaccines. You may sign up for both vaccines during Public Health clinics if you so choose.
Shelby County Public Health will be providing influenza clinics throughout Shelby County so all residents have access to influenza vaccine. Drive-up clinics will be offered at Myrtue’s Community Health Building, 2712 12th St, Harlan and other surrounding community centers. Drive-up means that you will come to Myrtue’s Public Health building (or other designated locations) and staff will deliver the vaccine while you are waiting in your car. It will be simple and fast. Myrtue’s Public Health staff will be wearing masks and all patients receiving a vaccine are encouraged to wear a mask. Myrtue Public Health is instructing any patient with COVID-like symptoms or exposure to the virus to wait before getting their vaccine. To schedule your flu vaccine or for questions, please call Shelby County Public Health at 712.755.4422 or go online at www.shelbycountyclinics.com. Appointments are required at the Community Health Clinics and Ayzlee’s drive-up clinic in Elk Horn.

Company seeks to build carbon dioxide pipeline in Iowa; Public hearings set for 5 area counties – Radio Iowa – 8-30-21 -
The process is underway that could lead to the construction of the first ever carbon dioxide pipeline in Iowa. Iowa Utilities Board spokesman, Don Tormey says Summit Carbon Solutions is considering the pipeline. “It’s referred to as the midwest carbon express, proposed to run through several midwest states, including Iowa. The project in Iowa would be proposed to cross 30 Iowa counties,” Tormey says. Summit Carbon Solutions is an affiliate of the Summit Agricultural Group owned by Bruce Rastetter of Alden. Tormey says the project would be classified as a hazardous liquid pipeline — and that is why it falls under the I-U-B’s jurisdiction. “The project proposes to partner with a number of ethanol plants in five states to capture carbon dioxide emissions and transport the liquified carbon dioxide to North Dakota, where it will be stored in deep underground geologic storage locations, ” according to Tormey. The first step is to set up hearings in the counties that would be impacted. Public hearings will be held, locally, in:
Crawford County – October 5, 6 p.m., Memorial Hall, 550 Main St, Manilla
Shelby County – October 6, noon, Therkildsen Activity Center, 706 Victoria St, Harlan
Pottawattamie County – October 6, 6 p.m., Impact Hill, 501 Oakland Ave, Oakland
Mills County – October 11, noon, Lakin Community Center, 61321 315th St, Malvern
Fremont County – October 11, 6 p.m., The Waterfalls, 907 Hartford Ave, Farragut
