OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — It’s time to spring forward again, as the country makes the switch to daylight-saving time. Like those in almost all other states, Nebraskans and Iowans will trade an hour of sleep starting Sunday morning for an extra hour of sunlight in the evening.
The government expanded daylight-saving time in 2007 in an effort to save energy. It now begins on the second Sunday in March and continues until the first Sunday in November. The official change occurs at 2 a.m. Sunday, local time, although people often set their clocks ahead one-hour before going to bed Saturday night. Daylight-saving time ends Nov. 2nd.
Three rock bands with a long history of hits have been chosen to perform at the 2014 Loessfest along the riverfront, in Council Bluffs. The May 25th event at the Tom Hanafan River’s Edge Park opens with a concert by Loverboy, The Guess Who and Three Dog Night. The concert will be free and open to the public.
Other events associated with the festival will run through June 8th. An estimated 30,000 people turned out to see the Beach Boys over Memorial Day weekend last year at the inaugural Loessfest. Several additional events will be announced between now and the start of the festivities.
The concert is sponsored by the Iowa West Foundation, American National Bank and ConAgra Foods.
Authorities in Pottawattamie County say two employees with the Underwood Community School District were arrested Friday on felony drug charges. The Daily NonPareil reports 34-year old’s Samantha and Heath Telleen, of Underwood, surrendered themselves to law enforcement after a warrant was issued for their arrests in connection with the alleged use of stolen prescription pads to obtain pain medication in Iowa and Nebraska.
Samantha is a Underwood Middle School worker, while her husband teaches Social Studies at the Underwood High School. The pair was charged with two counts of pharmacy prohibited acts, which are Class C felonies. If convicted, they face up to 20 years in prison and a maximum $20,000 fine.
In total, the couple allegedly used prescriptions pads from Underwood Family Practice 14 times, according to a criminal complaint released Friday. Additional incidents occurred in Nebraska. Jacqueline Sullivan-Ogg, who works at the practice, told investigators Samantha Telleen was given the key to the building in June 2013 to check mail and faxes while Sullivan-Ogg and her husband were out of town.
According to the criminal complaint, Sullivan-Ogg identified the prescriptions as fraudulent because they were inconsistent with how she wrote them. Investigators spoke with pharmacy officials in Council Bluffs and found the couple had used their driver’s licenses as identification to receive the prescription drugs.
Pottawattamie County Sheriff Jeff Danker said the couple was booked into jail and later released on their own recognizance. A court date is pending.
SAINT LOUIS, Mo. (AP) — Desmar Jackson had 23 points and 11 rebounds as sixth-seeded Southern Illinois squandered a 19-point second-half lead on Friday night, but held on to beat No. 3 seed Northern Iowa 63-58.
Anthony Beane added 16 points for SIU (14-18) which extended a 36-18 halftime lead to 43-24 early in the second half and was still leading 52-41 on Davante Drinkard’s jumper with 6:18 left. UNI (16-15) rattled off 11 straight points over the next three minutes to tie the game at 52.
But the Panthers never took the lead as Southern Illinois scored five straight to take the lead for good and UNI missed all five of its 3-point attempts in the final two minutes. Seth Tuttle had 15 points, 17 rebounds and four blocked shots for UNI. The victory advances the Salukis to the Missouri Valley Conference semifinals where they will face No. 2 seed Indiana State on Saturday (3/8).

Here is the latest Iowa news from The Associated Press…
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — If you think this was a brutal winter, there’s data to back it up: Iowa officials say it was the ninth coldest in the state since record-keeping began more than 140 years ago. Harry Hillaker, state climatologist with the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship, compiled data on the meteorological winter season that ran from December 1st through February 28th. He says the past winter was also the coldest in 35 years.
SHELL ROCK, Iowa (AP) — Officials say no one was injured following a freight train derailment in the northeast Iowa city of Shell Rock. Iowa Northern Railroad Company tells the Waterloo-Cedar Fals Courier that the early Friday incident near a railroad crossing involved some train cars going off their tracks around 2 a.m.
TAMA, Iowa (AP) — Federal authorities have charged a 25-year-old man with the killing of his parents last month on the Meskwaki Settlement in central Iowa.

WALCOTT, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say a woman and her 5-month-old child have been hospitalized after hot liquid was spilled on them at an eastern Iowa apartment. The Walcott Police Department says the accident occurred around 7:30 p.m. Wednesday at the apartment on West James Street.
LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini has received a one-year contract extension through February 2019. Athletic department spokeswoman Chris Anderson on Friday confirmed the extension, which was first reported by CBSSports.com. Anderson said terms were not immediately available for release. Pelini is 57-24 in six seasons, but there was speculation about his job status at the end of last season as the Cornhuskers’ streak of no conference championships stretched to 14 years.
Minutes after Nebraska lost its last regular-season game, to Iowa, Pelini defended his record and said, “If they want to fire me, go ahead.” Athletic director Shawn Eichorst issued a statement of support for Pelini the next day, but as recently as Tuesday had refused to answer questions about a contract extension.
SPRINGDALE, Ark. (AP) — An Arkansas firm is recalling about 29,200 pounds of seasoned raw, chicken breast strips due to misbranding and an undeclared allergen. The U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Food Safety and Inspection Service said Friday the recall involves George’s Inc. of Springdale.
The products are formulated with soy protein, a known allergen, and monosodium glutamate. But they were released with a label for George’s boneless skinless breast pieces with rib meat, which does not declare soy or MSG on the label.
The products were produced and packaged from Dec. 21 through Dec. 23 and were sold to distributors in Tennessee and Iowa for further distribution. The recalled products bear the establishment number “P-13584” below the USDA Mark of Inspection and “Packed on” date in the format of “month-day-year” on the carton label.
