DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) — Local officials said residents in and around Dubuque should not be surprised if they see more signs of coyotes and other fur-bearing mammals.

In recent weeks, some area residents have taken to social media to report seeing or hearing coyotes in Dubuque and the surrounding area.

City of Dubuque Public Health Specialist Mary Rose Corrigan said the only report of a coyote the city has received recently is of a dead one on U.S. 20. But Dubuque County Conservation Executive Director Brian Preston said his staff has received numerous calls reporting signs of coyotes in the area.

INDIANAPOLIS (WISH) — A goose and a chicken in a Marion County hobby flock were found to have avian influenza Thursday after two wild birds on the property earlier were found to have the disease, the Indiana State Board of Animal Health says.

The flock is the first in Marion County and the 14th in Indiana to record positive tests for bird flu this year. The 2022 bird flu outbreak is Indiana’s largest in years, part of the worst outbreak in the United States since 2015.

The State Board of Animal Health says its staff will reach out to poultry owners nearby to test for bird flu.

Rising prices for eggs has been one effect of the outbreak, although avian influenza does not pose a food…

Toni Okamoto started Plant-Based on a Budget to show people how affordable plant-based eating can be.

Toni Okamoto

Toni Okamoto became overwhelmed with frustration after she watched family members suffer severe health consequences from the food they ate.

Her aunt suffered multiple amputations from Type 2 diabetes prior to dying, and her grandfather had multiple heart attacks before dying in a bypass surgery.

She also saw how their financial situations limited the choices they could make regarding their food.

So, she decided to do something.

“That’s how I started Plant-Based on a Budget — I was on a limited income with limited resources to eat healthy-ish, and I started compiling those recipes for my family to benefit and saw very quickly how many people wanted to eat healthier but didn’t know where to begin,” she said.
