She stopped behind the truck and turned on her flashers to warn traffic behind her.

A 2006 Pontiac Grand Am driven by 37-year old Craig Lantz, of Atlantic, was also traveling north. He saw the stalled dump truck and South’s  vehicle with its flashers on, but was unable to stop before hitting the rear of South’s car.

September 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities in Council Bluffs on Friday said they were investigating the discovery of a body at a golf course, Friday. Police said they were called to the Council Bluffs Country Club near the intersection of Wright Road and Comanche, after a person on the golf course reported seeing a body in a pond.

Officials say the body was about75-feeet from the shore, and was retrieved by personnel with the Councl Bluffs Fire Department. The Iowa DCI was notified and began investigation into the matter. Authorities said the body was in a decomposed state and no positive identification could be made at the time of the initial investigation.

The subject was believed to be a man 30-to 40-years of age. There were no immediate indications of foul play. An autopsy is set to take place Sunday to try and determine the cause of death. The investigation continues.

IA Public Info. Board says Red Oak School Board Iowa violated open meetings law

News

September 12th, 2014 by Ric Hanson

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — There is probable cause that a southwest Iowa school district violated the state’s open meetings law when it met privately to discuss the firing of a principal, according to a state investigation. The Iowa Public Information Board said the five-member board of the Red Oak Community School District failed to properly vote to close an April 10 meeting and broke the law on April 14 when it failed to appropriately apprise the public of an agenda item.

Each board member could face fines of up to $2,500 per violation, The Des Moines Register reported. The Iowa Public Information Board will make a decision on the issue when it meets on Sept. 18th. The school board voted earlier this year to consider terminating Red Oak High School principal Jedd Sherman’s contract. Sherman said at the time the board was trying to fire him in retaliation for his reporting of two cases of student bullying, among other things.

The school district later agreed to pay Sherman $100,000 in exchange for him resigning. The state’s open meetings law says a government body can hold professional competency discussions in private if the affected employee requests it. Sherman said he wanted the discussions open.

Greg Barntsen, an attorney representing Red Oak, said audio of the April 10th meeting will resolve some of the issues brought up by the information board. He added that he doesn’t expect the board members to be fined since they were acting on the advice of another attorney.

Police in Council Bluffs are investigating a reported home invasion. Bluffs Police Sgt. Chad Meyers said officers were called just before 10-a.m. Friday, to 1714 6th Avenue, for a report of a shot being fired. Officers arrived on scene and came into contact with the victim, Kyle Medearis. According to Medearis, someone knocked on his front door. When he opened the door, a black male and a Hispanic male forced their way into his home. Both suspects were described as being in their 20’s, average height and weight. The black male was wearing all black clothing and the Hispanic male was described as wearing a blue ball cap.

The black male was armed with a handgun and they ordered him to sit down. Medearis did not comply and ran to the back of the house. As he was exiting the rear door of the house, the black male fired a single shot in his direction. Medearis was not struck by the round and was able to escape. The two suspects exited out the same door and ran to a full sized white pickup that was parked on 6th Avenue. The white pickup then fled north on 18th Street.

The Council Bluffs Police are still investigating the incident and are asking that anyone with information on the crime call 328-STOP.
