Garth Brooks reveals 2019 stadium tour
Posted on by Rick Watts
Garth Brooks took a break from touring in 2018 to record new music and, come to find out, plan a stadium tour.
Brooks announced the 2019 tour in a press conference from The Country Music Hall of Fame Wednesday. However, only St. Louis and Glendale, Ariz., were announced as tour stops. Dates will be revealed later, although the singer said tickets for shows in five cities will be on sale by Christmas.
The Country Music Association’s reigning entertainer of the year plans to play 10 to 12 stadiums a year for three years. Many, but not all, of the concerts will be in college stadiums.
“I can’t think of how to make music more fun other than add sports to it,” Brooks said, explaining he plans to encourage fans to wear the university’s colors to the concerts. “Our music was built for fun and the live stage.”
Brooks promised each stadium would be a unique experience. As such, he issued a challenge: “I’m going to challenge one person on this planet to come to all 30 shows.”
Wisconsin girl missing 4 days: What we know about Jayme Closs’ disappearance and her parents’ death
Posted on by Rick Watts
Missing Wisconsin teenager Jayme Closs was still at home when her parents were shot to death this week, Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald said Wednesday. He said authorities still have no suspects in the case, but believe Jayme, 13, is in danger. “I just want to bring Jayme home,” said Fitzgerald.
Jayme Closs’ whereabouts have been shrouded in mystery after a 911 call that lead police to her home in Barron, Wisconsin, where her parents were found dead. Now, investigators from Barron County, the Wisconsin Division of Criminal Investigation, the FBI and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children are searching for the girl described by friends as a “sweet and shy” middle schooler who enjoys dancing and sports. Authorities have received more than 400 tips on Jayme’s disappearance. Officials determined that James, 56, and Denise Closs, 46, died from gunshot wounds early Monday and ruled their deaths as homicides, Fitzgerald said Wednesday. Further details about the autopsies were not available, and the murder weapon has not been found.
What happened?
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department received a 911 call around 1 a.m. Monday, Fitzgerald said. When deputies responded, they found Jayme Closs’ parents dead inside their home, about 80 miles northeast of Minneapolis. Jayme was missing.
What happened to Jayme?
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department and the FBI said there are no suspects at this time and they are unsure of what happened to Jayme. They’ve done first and secondary searches on the home and surrounding area, deployed drones and infrared equipment and have been in contact with Jayme’s family and her middle school friends.
What about the 911 call?
Authorities know what cellphone made the 911 call, but Fitzgerald would not release that information Tuesday. From earlier police reports, we know the call came from inside the house and there was no interaction with the dispatcher, only “noise and things heard,” Fitzgerald said.
When was Jayme reported missing?
The Barron County Sheriff’s Department asked for the public’s help finding Jayme around 8 a.m. Monday, but said because they didn’t have much information, an Amber Alert couldn’t immediately be issued. By 3:30 p.m., a nationwide Amber Alert was sent out. She is described as 5-feet-tall, 100 pounds with blond or strawberry blond hair.
Was she seen in Florida?
Police in Miami said they received a report from someone who believed they saw Jayme in their area Monday afternoon in a black Ford Explorer with a possible Wisconsin plate of I60WER. The tipster said a girl who looked like Jayme was in the vehicle with two well-dressed, bearded men. Fitzgerald said at a Tuesday afternoon news conference that the FBI followed up on the tip and it is “not credible.”

Lake Belva Deer Area Trail
Posted on by Rick Watts
The Iowa Transportation Commission recently approved more than one million dollars in funding for five projects under the State Recreational Trails Program. The director of the DOT Office of Systems Planning, Craig Markley, says Keokuk County received $328,000 for a segment of the Lake Belva Deer Area Trail.
“Paving two-point-six-five miles of a granular surface trail to connect an existing trail head near Sigourney,” Markely says. “So, it would connect the trail head in Sigourney to the Belva Deer Park. That park is a one-thousand-669 acre county park which includes a 260-acre recreational lake, modern campgrounds, as well as a primitive trail system.”
That project will cost $1.8 million. Markley says there is a federal trails program too, that has also helped provide some of the money for these segments in Iowa.
Natural gas supply is in good standing
Posted on by Rick Watts
With the recent cool weather, you’ve probably fired up your furnace already. The experts say there’s an ample supply of natural gas to keep us warm through the winter. Dean Foreman, chief economist for the American Petroleum Institute, says natural gas and oil set record production levels in recent months.
“U.S. energy security has never been higher in terms of what we have of the ability to not only step up for domestic energy at home but also what we can provide to the global economy. That’s a good story and we expect that to continue.”
