Sioux City Mayor Bob Scott called upon the governors of Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota to prevent Tyson Foods from moving more than 500 jobs out of the tri-state area.The food company will be closing its corporate offices in Dakota Dunes, South Dakota – which borders Sioux City. The large community employer will be consolidating all three of its corporate offices to its headquarters in northwest Arkansas.Scott said Tyson's move will have a terrible impact on the area, resulting in the loss of 580 jobs for the area. He asked the tri-state governors – Iowa Gov. Kim Reynolds, Nebraska Gov. Pete Ricketts and South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem – to step in.“Go see the people at Tyson, write letters, do whatever,” he said at a city council meeting on Monday evening. “But, take the lead on this because they are not going to listen to local communities and it is terribly important that we don't lose those jobs.”Employees at the Dakota Dunes office will have to opt to relocate to the corporate headquarters or accept a severance package.The company's processing plant in Dakota City will not be impacted.Scott said the Sioux City Chamber of Commerce has been unsuccessful in its attempt to get Tyson to reconsider its decision. In a statement to the Sioux City Journal last week, Chamber president Chris McGowan said the organization would work “tirelessly” to assist the impacted employees find new jobs locally.U.S. Representative Randy Feenstra, who represents the 4th Congressional District, also issued a statement last week, urging the company to reconsider their decision to move the office.“This decision is absolutely contrary to the values I share with the Siouxland community, and represents a complete disregard for the employees and families who have been loyal to Tyson for more than two decades,” part of Feenstra's statement read.The relocation process will begin in early 2023, according to Tyson Foods announcement.

Sioux City refugee organizations have resettled about 50 Afghan refugees into the community since their arrival in August, after their country fell to the Taliban. But, an even larger group of refugees has moved to western Iowa to work for Tyson Fresh Meats at the Dakota City plant just across the border in Nebraska. For many, that means living hours away from their caseworkers and the resources they need to start anew.

Will returns to the show to talk about the 2001 limited series STATIC SHOCK: REBIRTH OF THE COOL! Released to coincide with the launch of the Static Shock cartoon, Rebirth of the Cool was an attempt to revive the Milestone comics universe four years after the sudden cancellation of every title in the line, and features 15 year old Virgil Hawkins once again taking the name Static to save the heroes of Dakota City from a new threat.(Note: Will's microphone decided to bite the dust halfway through the episode. We made it work the best we could, but there are some lingering issues.)

Gun deaths have been surging in Iowa as a law is set to go into effect that will allow people to more easily buy handguns and carry them in public without training or a permit. The Iowa Department of Public Health said Tuesday that a record 353 people died from gunshot wounds in Iowa in 2020, a 23% increase from the previous high in 2019. This year saw 85 firearm homicides, an 80% increase. Suicides still made up three of every four gun deaths in the state. A leading gun violence researcher said he expects Iowa's sweeping handgun deregulation that begins Thursday to make things even worse. An investigation is underway after a train derailment near Dakota City this morning. BNSF railroad says around six this morning a train hit a semi. Two locomotives and six cars went off the tracks. No one was hurt either in the vehicle or train. The company says the incident happened at a crossing with warning signs. Statement from BNSF surrounding train derailment near Dakota City, Nebraska: “BNSF

With the construction of the railroad, towns blossomed every few miles along the tracks, and each was confident that it would soon grow from a village to a prosperous city. On this date in 1946, it was much the same as a super highway was constructed for the Garrison Dam. Shacks and shanties were thrown up every few miles, and each location had ambitious names like Gateway, Dakota City or Silver City.

Iowa state prisons officials say a nurse and a corrections officer have been killed in an attack by an inmate at the Anamosa State Penitentiary. The Iowa Department of Corrections says the attack happened Tuesday morning, when an inmate attacked several staff members and inmates in the prison’s infirmary. The department said that it was still collecting and confirming details of the assault but it can confirm “an inmate attacked multiple staff members and inmates.” As a result of their injuries, a correctional nurse and correctional officer died. The incident is under investigation by the department and state police. Tyson Foods will offer the COVID-19 vaccine to workers at its beef plant in Dakota City, Nebraska on Friday. In a statement, the company says it’s an effort to ensure workers have “convenient access” to the vaccine. The beef processing facility employs more than 4,000 people and is one of the largest beef plants in the country. Around half of the workers are from Iowa.

The National Weather Service says an “impactful” winter storm is moving into the region Tuesday and Tuesday night. Moderate to heavy snow is expected with 3 to 7 inches for Siouxland. Because of the incoming winter storm, there have been snow emergencies issued for several Siouxland communities, including Sioux City, South Sioux, Dakota City, North Sioux, Hinton and Norfolk, Nebraska. Heavy, wet snow will blanket much of the state tomorrow so forecasters recommend putting off travel plans until the winter storm has passed. Four to eight inches of snow could fall across most of Iowa. The higher amounts are most likely in the central and eastern parts of the state, including Des Moines, Waterloo, Cedar Rapids and Dubuque. According to Roger Vachalek, a forecaster at the National Weather Service office in Des Moines, the snow could fall at up to an inch per hour at times, making it hard to see on the road. “Highly recommend people find a different time to travel. Postpone anything that

Chris Janicek is running for U.S. Senate in the State of Nebraska. Janicek, a baker from Omaha, made headlines when the Democratic Party of Nebraska withdrew support and resources in June and called for him to pull out of the race. Janicek visited Siouxland and sat down for an interview about the text-message controversy that put him on the outs with his party, the uphill battle he faces against incumbent Republican U.S. Senator Ben Sasse, health care, agriculture and the environment. The Nebraska Democratic Party is backing Preston Love Jr. as a write-in candidate. Love is with the Omaha chapter of the NAACP and teaches Black studies and politics at the University of Nebraska-Omaha. Candidate Janicek also visited the Tyson Foods Plant in Dakota City on Wednesday night he sent his statement to Siouxland Public media after meeting with employees: This is what is notable Aabout what I observed at the meat packing plant. These are hard working people - very hard working. They are from

Nebraska Governor Pete Ricketts plans to ease more restrictions for public gatherings for a majority of the state on June 1 st . The move does not include Dakota County a spot impacted by an outbreak at the Tyson Foods plant in Dakota City. Nebraska will let bars, zoos, movie theaters and swimming pools reopen and allow small concerts and auctions to resume. Ricketts says he’s trying to strike a balance between public health and the need to move back toward normal life as people grow restless. Ricketts made the announcement as state officials reported six more deaths and 276 new cases as of Wednesday night, bringing the statewide totals to 138 deaths and more than 11,000 confirmed cases. The Iowa Department of Public Health reported one of the deadliest 24 hours during the COVID-19 pandemic as the Governor eases more restrictions on Friday. There were 19 more deaths released on Thursday at 10 a.m. for a total of 400 people. Siouxland District Health Reports three more deaths due to

COVID-19 has struck cities and towns with meatpacking plants particularly hard. Nebraska cities and towns like Grand Island, Lexington, Crete and Dakota City are no exception. My legal practice takes me face to face with these workers and employers in those cities and towns. In this episode, I talk about COVID-19 and workers' compensation as well creative ways workers are skirting the limited remedies of workers' compensation to hold the packing plants legally accountable for their role in the COVID-19 crisis.

Welcome to the Watchtower and welcome also to our ninth instalment of “Secret Origins”. In this series we will be diving into the history of the main characters in Young Justice, heroes, supporting cast, and even the villains. Today we wrap up our coverage of the core Season 1 Team members by covering the Dakota City hero and key player in the Season 1 finale, Rocket. Many of the Dakota City heroes have a much less extensive history than other DC heroes, so we will also be covering the history of her mentor, Icon.
