Good morning, Council Bluffs.

Pottawattamie County launched its ‘Christmas in July’ campaign to raise $10,000 needed to fund the Shop with the Sheriff program where 50 local children will shop with deputies at Target in Council Bluffs for winter clothes and gifts in November — the fundraiser accepts donations now and through the end of the month to cover a funding gap. The program, which began in 1998, aims to support children in need by creating a positive experience with law enforcement during the holiday season.

The Omaha-Council Bluffs Metropolitan Area Planning Agency is asking for public comment on an amendment to the 2025 Transportation Improvement Program that reclassifies five projects into one listing, including updates to the Bennington Trail & Park plan and a traffic study on Valley roads. Residents can submit comments by email or mail by 4:30 p.m. July 31.

Cyclist Tony Mallory, who suffered a heart attack during the 2022 RAGBRAI ride, was reunited Tuesday with Nurse Kim Hensley and Trooper Darren Flaherty—who saved him by bringing his defibrillator—and recalled how fellow riders used their jerseys to shield him from the sun.

Mallory rode again in 2023 with no issues, marking a special reunion three years in the making during Day 3 of RAGBRAI LII.
