😁 Happy Friday!  There’s a lot of controversy surrounding self-driving cars and their impact on safety, jobs, and ethics. While autonomous driving aims to make traffic on roads and highways more comfortable, and, above all, safer, a recent survey done by Forbes Advisor found significant skepticism about the safety of self-driving vehicles. Check it out.

MARKETS FROM SHERWOOD
T-Mobile is on a trading run that America’s most storied companies have never matched

The telecom’s stock seemingly only ever goes up during the trading day lately.

Death, taxes, and T-MobileTMUS $233.07 (5.49%) going up from the market open to the close. It’s becoming that much of a constant.

The telecom firm is up big on Thursday to a fresh record after posting better-than-expected profits and boosting its full-year subscriber guidance. It’s an excuse for traders to continue their favorite trend: bidding up the stock during the trading day.

Analysts at Bespoke Investment Group flagged that shares of T-Mobile have ended the day higher than where they started on 24 of the last 25 trading days. read more

Carroll Kiwanis Ready To Roll Friday For 2024 Pancake Day Fundraiser

The Carroll Kiwanis Club’s annual all-you-can-eat pancake fundraiser is set for tomorrow (Friday) in Graham Park. Kiwanis President Jason Schwarte says the club has been hosting the pancake feed for many years, and the community always shows up in huge numbers in support of the group. Schwarte adds kids five and under eat for free. In addition to the pancakes, each meal includes sausages, coffee, milk, and juice. He says the Carroll Kiwanis Club uses the money raised to support local programs. Schwarte says Kiwanis membership has waned somewhat in recent years, and the club now consists of only around a dozen people. This year’s pancake feed is a double feature, as they will also be searching for new members. People interested in joining Kiwanis can talk to one of the volunteers during the pancake feed, or they can message the group via their Facebook page, Kiwanis Club of Carroll. Again, the annual Kiwanis Pancake Day is Friday from 7 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. in the Graham Park Shelter House.

🌽 Sac Economic and Tourism Development has been awarded a $90,000 Rural Development Grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to promote additional business growth in the region. The funding will be used to provide planning, analytical, and technical assistance to certify Sac City as a bioeconomy development opportunity zone, which can be used to attract bio-based businesses, which are companies that center their model on renewable, value-added agricultural products. Iowa Rural Development State Director Theresa Greenfield says, “Under the leadership of the Biden-Harris Administration, USDA is championing rural Iowa communities. These investments are one more way that President Biden’s Investing in America helps rebuild the economy from the bottom up and middle out.” The Sac Economic and Tourism grant was part of more than $16 million in grants and loans announced for Iowa projects by the USDA this (Wednesday) morning. More information on those other awards is included here.

🚑️ On Nov. 5, Guthrie County voters will decide on a proposal that could shape the future of the county’s emergency medical services (EMS). Public Measure IU asks voters to deem EMS an essential service in Guthrie County and add a new levy of $0.75 per $1,000 of taxable assessed valuation to fund EMS departments countywide. The measure requires support from 60 percent of voters to pass. The proposed levy would generate an estimated $750,000 to $800,000 annually with the goal of more coordinated EMS services across the county, which is currently served by Panora EMS, Stuart Rescue, and Adair Fire and Rescue. Supporters say the additional funding would allow the county to contract with these services, improve response times, and provide a sustainable funding mechanism. County officials emphasize that better funding could address delays in emergency response, particularly in western and northwestern parts of Guthrie County. If approved, officials plan to use some of the new funding to station an additional ambulance in Guthrie Center to reduce response times. An informational meeting will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 7 p.m. at the Guthrie County Courthouse for residents to learn more about the proposed levy. Voters can cast their ballots on Nov. 5 at polling stations across the county or vote absentee in person at the Guthrie County Auditor’s Office.

Iowa company recycles rare earth materials from wind turbines, electronics
By: Cami Koons - October 24, 2024 3:10 pm

BOONE – Engineers at Critical Materials Recycling break apart circuit boards, old transmissions and decommissioned wind turbines to extract and recycle rare earth materials.

Most recycling facilities extract things like copper and aluminum from the same scraps, but few know how to break down the batteries, meaning those rare earth material components are often lost. 

Rare earth materials are a series of elements with properties like conduction or magnetism that make them essential to electronics. They’re also part of the 10%-15% of wind turbine materials that are not currently recycled.

Iowa-based Critical Materials Recycling was selected by the U.S. Department of Energy as one of six companies to receive a $500,000 cash prize and $100,000 in assistance from national laboratories. Twenty projects were selected in the initial phase of the DOE prize and awarded smaller sums, $75,000, to further develop their concepts.

The $5.1 million Wind Turbine Materials Recycling prize was funded by the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law as part of its efforts to achieve a carbon-pollution-free power sector by 2035. full story
