Trout Stocking Spurs Clean Water Drive in Iowa Creek
The Yellow River headwaters in Winneshiek and Allamakee counties span 26,119 acres with two main branches forming Iowa’s largest cold water stream. Projected 90 percent bacteria reduction in 10 years aims to remove streams from the impaired waters list while 700 South Pine brookies stocked in May bolster habitat.

Refugee Policy Shifts Threaten Christian Entries in Travel Order
The first travel order drawn to curb refugees faced legal challenges and a later watered down directive. Christians, who once relied on resettlement agencies to prove ties, now face tougher access as they compete with Muslims and other faiths. State Department stats show 48 percent Christian and 41 percent Muslim among 23,577 refugees in early 2017. The Supreme Court emphasized close family ties, but many relatives remain barred or delayed. Diplomatic discretion and undue hardship exceptions may allow waivers for some applicants, while distant relatives like aunts and uncles face new limits.
