Slippery roads were apparently to blame for a single-vehicle accident Friday morning, in Page County. The Sheriff’s Department reports a 1980 Chevy van was traveling south on V-Avenue at around 10-a.m., when the vehicle went out of control due to surface road conditions. The van went off the left side of the road near 210th Street and into a ditch, before hitting and coming to rest on a barbed wire fence belonging to a Clarinda man. The driver of the van was not identified in the Sheriff’s report, and it was unclear what the extent of any injuries were, but they were not transported to the hospital.
The van sustained $500 damage, while damage to the fence was estimated at $100.
The Adams County Sheriff’s Office reports a man from Carbon was arrested Friday evening. 52-year old Ricardo Avila was taken into custody at around 5:10-p.m., on a charge of Harassment in the 2nd degree, after deputies were called to investigate a report Avila was threatening harm to another person, and that person’s animals. Avila was being held in the Adams County Jail on $1,000 bond.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) — Authorities say an eastern Iowa woman is suspected of driving while intoxicated after her sport utility vehicle plunged about 25 feet off an interstate bridge. Nicole Butschi of Robins lost control of her car and crashed early yesterday morning. She had been traveling southbound on a roadway that curves near Coe College in Cedar Rapids.
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) — Iowa City wants to mount video cameras on some of its police officers. The Iowa City Press-Citizen says a report by the city’s police department proposes buying body mounted video recorders to capture police interactions with the public.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — A new report shows Iowa’s hog inventory continues to surpass all other states in the country. The United States Department of Agriculture says in its latest report released yesterday that the Hawkeye state has 20.6 million hogs and pigs on Iowa farms as of December 1st. That’s a three percent jump from the same period last year.
CEDAR FALLS, Iowa (AP) — A national professors group says administrators at the University of Northern Iowa violated governance, academic freedom and tenure procedures when they eliminated certain programs and shuttered the education training school. The American Association of University Professors says UNI officials failed to follow certain policies when determining programs to eliminate.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Business is slow for the folks trying to sell tickets to Nebraska fans for the Capital One Bowl against sixth-ranked Georgia. The university’s ticket office has unloaded less than one-third of its 12,500-ticket allotment for Tuesday’s game in Orlando, Florida. Ticket brokers have sold seats for as little as $9 and plenty remain available for well below face value.
Expensive air fares and the fact that Nebraska is playing at the same bowl site for the second straight year are factors in keeping Big Red fans at home. Omaha radio sports show host Michael Grey says fans also lost confidence in the Cornhuskers after their 70-31 loss to Wisconsin in the Big Ten championship game.
So often during accident reports issued by law enforcement, especially those which occur in Pottawattamie County, we note the victim or victims were transported to Jennie Edmundson Hospital, in Council Bluffs. According to the Council Bluffs NonPareil, beginning next week, “Jennie,” as it’s referred to by most local medics, will be referred to as “Methodist Jennie Edmundson.” The slight name change and a new look, becomes effective Tuesday, as part of an ongoing rebranding campaign.
The “Methodist” part of the name refers to the hospital’s affiliation with Methodist Health System, a relationship that began in 1994. The facility has been a part of the Council Bluffs community since 1886. The rebranding to “Methodist Jennie Edmundson” according to the paper, will include new, on-campus signage, as well as future advertising.
