GLENWOOD, Iowa (AP) — A location in western Iowa for the proposed Loess Hills Archaeological Interpretive Center has been approved by the Iowa Preserves Advisory Board. The Council Bluffs Daily Nonpareil reports that the location is on a state preserve at the south edge of Glenwood, just across the Missouri River from Nebraska.

The multimillion-dollar center will be devoted to studying the Native Americans who lived in earthen dwellings in extreme western Iowa and eastern Nebraska between 600 and 750 years ago. The 906-acre preserve, Iowa’s largest, was previously a part of the state-operated Glenwood Resource Center.

Its re-designation as a preserve was hastened by the evidence that beneath its surface are dozens of ancient earth lodges, camping areas and agricultural pursuits.

Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers issued a report today (Saturday), on his department’s recent arrests and incidents. Brothers says three people were arrested last Wednesday (Nov. 13th)for carrying concealed weapons.

They include 27-year old Seth Allen Simmons and 28-year old Anthony Lee Castoe, both of Clarinda, and 25-year old Jacob Tanner Franson,of Villisca. Franson was also charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, possession with intent to distribute methamphetamine and possession with intent to distribute marijuana.

And, 36-year old Michael Joseph Hough, of Clarinda, was arrested on the 13th for operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of a controlled substance. The following day, 24-year old Cody Robert Cordell, of Gravity, was arrested for public intoxication, disorderly conduct and assault causing bodily injury. Cordell was taken into custody following an investigation into a report of fight in progress in parking lot at Casey’s General Store, 318E. Washington Street.
