DES MOINES - The Estherville News placed first in Government and Politics reporting for weekly newspaper class in the Iowa Newspaper Association awards, presented Friday in Des Moines.
Staff writer Amy H. Peterson's coverage of the rendering plant odor, an issue that wore on for months, was the winning entry.
Judges were members of the Indiana Newspaper Association. The judges' comments in awarding Estherville News first place touted the graphic that tracked the location of each odor complaint that came in to the Emmet County Assessor's Office.
The judges said, "Impressive coverage of an ongoing news story on odor caused by a rendering plant. A front-page graphic showed readers exactly where complaints were coming from. Coverage also included [citizens'] voices in meeting coverage. Great example of local issues coverage."
The prizes for government and politics reporting all went to area newspapers. The Dickinson County News earned second place, and the Storm Lake Pilot-Tribune earned third place in the category.
The Iowa Better Newspaper Contests are sponsored by the Iowa Newspaper Foundation. Entries for the 2019 prizes covered work published between Oct. 1, 2017 and Sept. 30, 2018.
How many prisons in one city is too many? A lot of people would probably say one—for their city.
Adelanto (pop.31,304), in the high desert of San Bernardino County, has three, just OK’d a fourth and was giving serious consideration to a fifth. But on Wednesday, Geo Group Inc. dropped its plans for a 1,051-bed facility in the face of community opposition on the eve of a City Council vote that was not expected to go...
They indicated they will be back at a more fortuitous time to pursue building the facility that received preliminary city approval in 2006. In the meantime, Geo is going nowhere.
The company operates the Adelanto Detention Facility, which is actually two separate facilities. Geo bought the original prison, a state facility built in 1991, in 2010 and built a second prison in 2012. The company signed a contract with the U .S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) in 2011 and has been housing ...
Geo also operates the 700-bed Desert View Modified Community Correctional Facility, a restricted, medium security facility housing inmates for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR).
In December, the city gave final approval to construction of a $327-million, 3,264-bed prison that the city fathers hoped would house an overflow of prisoners from crowded Los Angeles County jails. The state’s 2-year-old realignment program shifts the flow of nonviolent, nonserious offenders from grossly overcrowded st...
The City Council got a lot of heat over the latest prison construction controversies from inside and outside the community. But prisons are a significant source of income for the tiny city with an imposing $2.6-million budget deficit. As Bloomberg pointed out, Adelanto has more prisons than supermarkets.
There has been talk of municipal bankruptcy.
Glasper voted in favor of the latest prison project in December. “We do need this to pull ourselves out of the revenue crunch we’re in,” he said.
It’s unclear how much it will cost, but Russell Dalton, a senior transportation engineer in Apex, said an early estimate is $20 million.
A traffic analysis by consulting firm VHB shows the corridor’s crash rate is more than three times higher than the average for similar state routes. Since 2011, there have been 588 incidents, mostly rear-end collisions, along the stretch of N.C. 55.
During Tuesday’s meeting, officials got community input on whether to accommodate bicyclists using an extra-wide outside lane or an extra-wide sidewalk – “a greenway next to the road,” DOT spokesman Steve Abbott said.
It was also meant as an exploratory conversation for the property and business owners along the corridor, who could have to sell parts of their property for the road’s right-of-way or see turning access limited by a new median.
Another potential sticking point is the road’s path under a railway bridge, which spans the three-lane width of the existing road near its intersection with Salem Street. The plans on display Tuesday show the road narrowing briefly to three lanes under the bridge before widening again.
Jon Soika, a road design consultant working with DOT on the project, said designers don’t think that should cause too much of a bottleneck. But Abbott said the department will work closely with the rail company that owns the bridge to find a way to keep the road at full width.
Bennett said she’d like to see something done about the bridge, if only to ease her anxieties about its structural integrity.

A 12-year-old student bicycling south from Buddy Taylor Middle School this afternoon was struck and injured by a vehicle at the Belle Terre Parkway-Pritchard Drive intersection in Palm Coast.
The boy, who was bleeding from the head at the scene, was taken by ambulance to AdventHealth Palm Coast with non-life-threatening injuries. The incident took place just before 1:45 p.m. Larry Earl Reneker, 71, of Flagler Beach was at the wheel of the 2010 Toyota Camry that struck the bicycle.
According to the sheriff’s crash report, Reneker was stopped at the stop sign on Pritchard, waiting for a break in traffic on Belle Terre to make a right turn, going north. The cyclist was traveling south on the path on the east side of Belle Terre. He stopped at the path’s stop sign. When the cyclist saw that the Camr...
Administrators at Buddy Taylor Middle were contacted, as were the boy’s parents, one of whom rode with him in the ambulance. Earl Johnson, a senior member of the superintendent’s staff, was at the scene. “It does not seem like it was serious injuries,” the spokesperson said.
Belle Terre Parkway northbound was reduced to one lane in the area of Pritchard, but the scene was cleared within an hour of the wreck. The Palm Coast Fire Department, Flagler County Fire Rescue, the Palm Coast Fire Police and the sheriff’s office were at the scene.
It was the first crash involving a child on a bike on Flagler streets since September 2016. That September crash took place on a Saturday in a residential neighborhood, outside the scope of school hours. But today’s crash brought back memories of the 2015-16 school year, when seven Flagler County students were involved...
The crashes prompted school and Palm Coast officials to launch awareness campaigns and redesign a few bus stops. A traffic-safety committee continues to meet monthly, with School Board member Andy Dance leading it. The majority of crashes between vehicles and students on bikes were due to driver error, however, not stu...
Jason Wheeler, a school district spokesman, noted the long span of time since the last crashes as reflective of safety efforts since, but said today’s crash is a reminder to drivers and riders to be cautious, and for drivers to be especially aware of foot and bicycle traffic at the start and the end of the school day.
Truly sad that this child was injured. I have to say, living off of Pritchard, I REGULARLY see people in cars failing to slow down, when Pedestrians/Bicyclist are present. Yes the speed limit is 30 in neighborhoods, BUT, If there are pedestrians/bicyclist present, if I am not mistaken, you are supposed to slow down to ...
I am glad the child will recover and hopefully all will be more cautious.
I would like to pint this out. While a good number of accidents are the drivers fault some end up being the students.
School parking on my street is miserable. Parents park in the roadway in front of the stop sign at a busy intersection. Making a right hand turn is nearly impossible as you have to negotiate around cars and kids in the middle of the road.. They have been asked to move by residents and one father got very beligerent.
I guess it’s OK to illegally park and do what you want. Sheriff’s Office has been called several times and they do nothing. Only a matter of time before an accident happens.
Likewise the same parents let their children run back and forth across the street. Kids ride bikes thru driveways and yards and cut into traffic. Again something has been said by numerous residents and parents get confrontational.
Parents we don’t want to see your children get hurt nor do we want to be responsible for an accident. This could all be preventable by better manners and respect.
I understand providing comfort for your child while waiting on the bus during inclement weather. I also understand making sure your child is safe waiting on the bus. But do you really need to sit on the edge of your seat with your door open and let your kid run around when the weather nice and you live 4 doors down?
We aren’t asking your kids to stand like statues at the stop nor are we asking you to not wait with your kids for the bus. Just exercise a little respect when you do it.
I’ll bet a million to one that the vehicle driver was looking left to make a right turn while never stopping at the stop sign to look left then right then left before entering Belle-Terre Pkwy. When I took driver’s education back in the 60’s that procedure was drummed into us. However here in Florida no one stops for a...
Why was he allowed to leave campus on a bicycle not wearing a helmet? How many cops passed him on Belle Terre? Drivers need to look out, but we also need better enforcement of the helmet law. Wearing a helmet is the simplest way to prevent injury. You’re not cool because you don’t wear a helmet.
That’s because the road test is a JOKE in Florida! Up NORTH you drive with real traffic to take the road test! Not in some ridiculous area that’s gated in or a parking lot!
Spot on. These idiots understand many four letter words – stop is just not one of them. When your wheels stop turning, your vehicle is stopped. The amount of arrogance, ignorance and plain stupidity is worrying.
Maybe the Sheriff’s office can help some of these people by charging their bank accounts. Word might get around. Or not.
The school can not track all bike riders at dismissal as dismissal involves around 900 kids.. This kid is 12, I am sure he can remember to wear his helmet if he WANTS too. Yes, drivers need to super careful too.
900 kids, the vast majority of whom ride the school bus or get picked up. There may be a couple dozen bike riders and the bikes are kept at a central location. All it takes is a little supervision to correct the problem. Why make excuses? No helmet = you ride the school bus home, and you can come back to get your bike ...
Why does the G20 summit attract so much protest?
The G20 summit officially wrapped up in Hamburg, Germany Saturday. From violent protests to awkward handshakes, if you missed out on the news stemming from the summit, here are five key takeaways.
ABOVE: Will ceasefire bring calm to war-torn Syria?
U.S. President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladamir Putin sat down in a private meeting during the summit. After two hours of discussion, the two leaders agreed on on a ceasefire in southwestern Syria.
For years the two governments have been backing opposing sides in the war. Moscow has backed Syrian President Bashar Assad, supporting Syrian forces militarily since 2015. Washington has backed rebels fighting Assad.
The ceasefire deal is the first t U.S.-Russian effort under Trump’s presidency to resolve Syria’s six-year civil war.
Trump and Putin said they met for the first time at the summit. But is this true?
The U.S. president has offered contradictory descriptions regarding his relationship and contact with the Russian leader.
In 2013, late-night night host David Letterman asked Trump during an interview whether he had a relationship with Russia.
WATCH: Trump’s wins and losses at first G20 Summit. Ines de La Cuetara reports.
By 2016, Trump’s story had changed completely. At a July 2016 press conference, at the height of the general election campaign, Trump denied ever having met the Russian leader.
Putin has also denied meeting Trump before the G20 summit.
Of the G20 countries that met in Hamburg, the U.S. was the only holdout from a statement reaffirming a commitment to work toward the carbon emission reduction goals in the Paris climate agreement.
The final statement of the Group of 20 summit underlined that the other countries and the European Union supported the Paris climate agreement rejected by Trump. They called the deal to reduce greenhouse gases “irreversible” and vowed to implement it quickly and without exception.

On Saturday, French President Emmanuel Macron said he harbours the hope of convincing Trump to bring the U.S. back into the Paris climate accord.
When you put a group of world leaders in one room, there is bound to be some awkward moments.
During a working lunch at the G20, Trump greeted Macron with a stiff handshake-turned-bro-clasp. The moment was a “handshake rematch” of sorts of their part handshake, part staring contest this past May.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel provided a great eye-roll while engaged in conversation with Putin during the meeting.
In another moment, Macron appeared unsure where to take his place in the photo of the leaders Friday. After entering stage left and making his way to the centre of the group, he maneuvered his way to the far right, next to Trump, hugging and kissing his way to the front row.
With any major political event comes widespread protests, however, the G8 and G20 gatherings have been particularly prone to demonstrations over the years. This year’s G20 summit was no exception.
Activists and demonstrators were met with a large contingent of German police to maintain order throughout the summit. While some got aggressive, lighting fires and engaging in standoffs with police, others took a different approach.
Perhaps the most unique demonstration that took place over the past week was the performance staged by a German performance collective. The group rounded up over 1,000 volunteers, dressed up as zombies and painted themselves grey, and proceeded to march down the streets of Hamburg.
By dressing up as zombies, the collective aimed to make a statement about political apathy in the world.
On Saturday the U.S. announced $639 million in aid for Yemen, Somalia, South Sudan and Nigeria.
While David Beasley, the American director of the U.N.’s World Food Program, called the announcement a “truly a life-saving gift,” Trump’s proposed deep cuts to foreign aid of more than 30 per cent have caused concern.
“We welcome President Trump’s attention to the global humanitarian crisis, but he was announcing aid that Congress approved months ago and that his administration has delayed,” Rev. David Beckmann, president of the Washington-based Christian organization Bread for the World, said in a statement.
The total U.S. humanitarian assistance to the four countries is now more than $1.8 billion this fiscal year, the U.S. Agency for International Development said.
The Trump administration’s 2018 spending plan ends a critical program by consolidating it into a broader account that covers all international disaster assistance. Doing so reduces the amount of money the U.S. dedicates to fighting famine to $1.5 billion next year, from $2.6 billion in 2016.
Trump officials say the proposed changes will streamline U.S. aid programs, eliminate redundancies and increase efficiency.
