Two separate public hearings will be held in two weeks with regard to a proposed Whole Grade Sharing agreement between the AHST and Walnut Community School Districts. The first hearing takes place 6:30-p.m. Dec. 16th in Walnut, with the second meeting to be held Dec. 17th at 7-p.m., in Avoca. Persons unable to attend either of the public hearings may contact one of the school district’s secretaries and leave a comment with them to be presented during the hearing.
The AHST and Walnut Districts have been gathering input over the past month, and negotiating key portions of the agreement. School officials say if approved in late January, the 4-year sharing agreement would begin in the fall of 2014.

Police in Glenwood say a man was arrested earlier this week at the Glenwood Middle School, after they received a report of a person with a gun. Officers were called to the Glenwood Middle School at around 12:30 p.m., Monday. Following an investigation, 66-year-old Lyle Hillhouse, of Glenwood, was arrested for allegedly carrying a weapon on school grounds. Hillhouse was being held in the Mills County Jail on $5,000 bond.
The Glenwood P-D also reports two Omaha residents were arrested Tuesday, following an investigation into a call about a suspicious vehicle at the B-P Station on Sharp Street, in Glenwood. When officers responded at around 10-a.m., 24-year-old Colton Garvin took off on foot, but was apprehended at the corner of Coolidge and Vine Street. He faces Possession of Stolen Property, unlawful Possession of Prescription Drugs and Interference with Official Acts charges. Another suspect, 32-year-old Niccole Rohde, was arrested at the scene and charged with Possession of Stolen Property. The pair was booked into the Mills County Jail.
The vehicle in question had been reported stolen out of Omaha.
A petition seeking the removal from office of the Monona County Auditor alleges she ran up nearly $8,000 in unpaid personal charges and late fees on her county credit card. According to the Omaha World-Herald, 28-year old Auditor Brooke Kuhlmann allegedly used the credit card for a concert and casino charges, expenditures at convenience stores, iTunes, Walmart, McDonald’s and Dairy Queen. The charges were racked-up between June 26, 2012, and July 25, 2013.
The allegations against Brooke Kuhlmann are among several in a document, recently filed by the Monona County Attorney’s Office, that requests a judge to remove her from office. Kuhlmann also faces drug-related charges after getting arrested July 29th. The arrest took place after she allegedly contacted a drug dealer’s cellphone in an attempt to make a buy. She didn’t realize that the person with whom she was speaking was a state trooper — the phone had been seized in a traffic stop. Methamphetamine was left for her in an arranged location. According to authorities, law enforcement officers watched her pick it up, and then Onawa police pulled her over.
Kuhlmann has pleaded not guilty to charges of methamphetamine possession, a serious misdemeanor, and possessing drug paraphernalia, a simple misdemeanor. Hertrial is set to take place in February. The World-Herald says the petition claims Kuhlmann has not appeared for a full day’s work since then. Kuhlmann previously told paper that she is working from home.
State law does not dictate how often a county auditor should be at work. Following the petition, a district court hearing will need to be held, with a judge having the final say if Kuhlmann can be removed from office.
The parents of two boys who died this weekend after falling through ice on a pond in rural Adams County say the proceeds of a calf sale being held today in Creston will benefit a scholarship established in the names of their sons.
According to the Omaha World-Herald, Tom and Leisa Frey, of Prescott, thanked the public for the outpouring of support they have received, and the couple announced a calf sale for the scholarship fund will be held at Creston Livestock Auction, 201 N. Cherry St. in Creston, beginning at Noon. The family operates the Creston Livestock Auction, and Tom Frey is a well-known area auctioneer.
The couples’ adopted sons, 11-year old T-J and 9-year old Nate Frey, died after falling through the ice Saturday on a pond near their home in rural Adams County. Services are scheduled for 10 a.m. Saturday at Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Creston. Visitation is Friday from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. at Powers Funeral Home in Creston.
The family asks that memorials be sent the TJ and Nathan Frey Fund at St. Malachy School, 403 W. Clark St., Creston, IA 50801. Persons with questions about today’s benefit sale can be addressed by calling Corey Schultz at 816-645-9357.
