​Safe Driving takes more than luck -
(3-10-26) - The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau (GTSB) wants drivers to remember: Safe Driving Takes More Than Luck.  St. Patrick’s Day is known for its themed celebrations, but all of the parades and festivities often lead to higher levels of alcohol consumption. While most Iowans celebrate safely, impaired driving is still a present danger, especially around holidays. Last March, 148 crashes and five fatalities* listed impairment as a contributing factor. It takes more than luck to stay safe on the road- it takes safe and smart decisions.  To help Iowans plan ahead and stay safe, Doll Distributing is offering a $10 Uber voucher through their Decide to Ride program. GTSB supports this program by raising awareness and sharing resources for sober rides. The voucher will be active March 14-17, 2026, in the state of Iowa, and will be capped at 1,000 redemptions.  GTSB is encouraging law enforcement partners to conduct their own enforcement projects in their communities during this holiday to deter impaired driving and ensure everyone can celebrate safely.   St. Patrick’s Day events and celebrations also tend to attract increased pedestrian traffic. GTSB also reminds drivers to stay alert and watch for pedestrians, especially in crowded areas. If you’re on foot, be sure to cross streets in well-lit areas, use the crosswalks, and stay alert for vehicles.The Governor’s Traffic Safety Bureau works with city, county, state, and local organizations to develop and implement strategies to reduce deaths and injuries on Iowa’s roadways using federally funded grants

Community Needs Assessment from Myrtue -
(3-4-26) – Knowing what the community needs and wants is important to Myrtue Medical Center in Harlan.  That’s why they are asking everyone to fill out the Community Health Needs Assessment.  It’s a way for them to better understand the health challenges and strengths within our community.  For a critical Access Hospital like Myrtue, this is especially important because they serve  a rural population where access to care, transportation and chronic disease management can all look very different from those in urban setting.  It gives community members a voice in shaping local health care priorities.  A Community Health Needs Assessment is required at least once every three years.  This three year cycle ensures they regularly evaluate the health needs of our community and adjust their priorities as those needs change.  To take the survey – go to Myrtue’s website – check on the “About Us” and then Community Health Needs Assessment.”  If you would like a paper copy, they are available by writing Myrtue Medical Center Public Health – 2712 12th Street in Harlan or by calling 755-4422.  The survey due date is Friday, April 3rd.  A Community Forum will be held in June.

Scott Belt files an appeal after being removed from office -
(3-11-26) – (Daily Nonpareil) - Scott Belt, the former chairman of the Pottawattamie County Board of Supervisors, filed for an appeal after a judge ordered him removed from office. Belt was removed from office after a trial in early December. A judge concluded that Belt was intoxicated during a town hall meeting in Carson on Nov. 5. The judge ordered Belt to be removed from office after also determining Belt was acting in an official capacity at the town hall.  Belt, through his attorney during the judicial proceeding, maintained that he was not performing any official duties, although he was serving as the master of ceremonies at the town hall.  Belt previously told The Nonpareil that, at the time, he was changing medications, which contributed to his behavior. Evidence presented at the trial showed Belt had been drinking at a Carson bar prior to the meeting.  According to court records, Belt began the process of filing an appeal on Dec. 23 and a brief was filed on Feb. 18. Belt is being represented by a law firm out of Des Moines.  Keith Jones replaced Belt on the Board of Supervisors to finish out the remainder of Belt's term.

​Gas Prices Are Going Up Across Iowa
(3-10-26) - Gas prices across Iowa are an average of three-17 a gallon, 54-cents higher than last week.  While higher seasonal demand and the conflict in Iran could push the cost higher, there may be some relief.  Brian Ortner with Triple-A says OPEC’s announcement that it would increase supply availability in the second quarter could lower gas prices in the coming months.  Ortner says average gas prices topped four dollars when Russia invaded Ukraine, but there’s too much uncertainty in the Middle East to predict how high prices will go.

MRHC “Hidden in Plain Sight” Camper -
(3-10-26)  - The Manning Regional Healthcare Center (MRHC) Recovery Center is bringing awareness to substance use prevention through its “Hidden in Plain Sight” camper, a hands-on educational experience designed for parents, teachers, and adults who work with youth.  The interactive exhibit allows participants to step inside a simulated teen bedroom and identify signs of possible substance use and risky behaviors. While some warning signs may be obvious, many are hidden in plain sight. Research shows many individuals report first experimenting with substances before the age of 13, making early awareness and prevention critical. The Hidden in Plain Sight camper aims to equip adults with the knowledge and tools needed to recognize warning signs and start meaningful conversations with teens. Participants, ages 21 and older, enter the camper in small groups of three to four people. They are given five minutes to locate 43 hidden items that may indicate substance use or risky behaviors. After the timed experience, facilitators review the items participants may have missed and provide education on current drug trends, slang terms, where items can be purchased, and behavioral signs to watch for.  The program is designed to educate parents, educators, and community members on how to recognize behaviors that may indicate drug or alcohol use and addiction. By increasing awareness and understanding, the MRHC Recovery Center hopes to strengthen prevention efforts throughout the area.  Schools, community groups, and organizations can reserve the Hidden in Plain Sight camper for educational events and trainings. To schedule the camper, please contact Neeka Jacobsen at [email protected].
