A Shenandoah couple accused in a child sexual abuse case will face trial beginning November 12th. The case against 38-year old Jennifer and 44-year old Tony Stogdill, of Shenandoah, will be tried in U.S. District Court, in Council Bluffs. The Stogdill’s have pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to commit transportation of minors with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity as well as two counts of transportation of a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity. They were arrested late last February, after an indictment was filed against them in U.S. District Court.
According to court records, the incidents began in 1996 and continued until their arrest. The incidents involved one teenage boy and several girls ranging in age from 7 to 16 years old.
Two Iowa communities have made the list of cities nationwide that are considered “most secure.” Out of 114 metro areas, Omaha-Council Bluffs ranks number-six while Des Moines is 20th. Mark Toohey is a spokesman for Farmers Insurance and says their list is comprised of cities with populations of at least a half-million. Toohey says the Omaha area ranked 8th last year, so the metro has moved up two notches. Des Moines fell one position, from 19th, but is in the Top 20 for the fourth year in a row. He says the rankings are based on a series of different criteria.
Categories include: economic stability, crime statistics, the risk of natural disasters, housing depreciation, air quality and environmental hazards. Toohey says other factors are considered as well. It’s a combination of multiple elements, like: the weather, the crime, motor vehicle fatalities, employment rates and life expectancy. The top “most secure” cities on the list include: Bethesda, Maryland at number one, followed by Grand Rapids, Michigan; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Austin, Texas; and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

ONAWA, Iowa (AP) — An Onawa mother has been sentenced to 50 years in prison for the drowning death of her young son. Ashley Cameron received the sentence Friday in Monona County District Court. The 25-year-old was convicted in May of involuntary manslaughter and child endangerment resulting in death for the drowning of 15-month-old Markis Dahms.
Prosecutors say Cameron drowned her son after she held his head under a running faucet. Cameron told investigators she was cleaning him after the child had vomited in the bathtub. She says she repeated that process as he vomited several more times.
Cameron testified that she’d left Markis in the tub to get some items and found him face down in the water. Her attorney suggested that the boy may have had a seizure.

NORTH LIBERTY, Iowa (AP) — Wisconsin transfer Jarrod Uthoff spent the past season working anonymously toward his long-awaited Division I debut.
Uthoff will get his chance this winter when he’s finally eligible to play for the Hawkeyes.
Uthoff, whose contentious transfer from Wisconsin and coach Bo Ryan sparked a national debate last spring, is playing summer league ball in preparation for his first season with the Hawkeyes.
The versatile Uthoff is expected to play significant minutes for Iowa next season. Uthoff says the thought of playing in a real game after two years away is what has kept him going. He adds that he “couldn’t be happier” to be playing for the Hawkeyes.
