A 19-year old former, part-time audio-visual support technician for the Glenwood Community High School, has been charged with 3rd degree sexual abuse, a Class-C Felony. Court records indicate Andrew Schoening, of Glenwood, was given the charge last week, and plead not guilty last Friday, Feb. 10th. He also waived a speedy trial.

The incident allegedly took place December 20, 2011.
When confronted with the allegations, Schoening admitted that he did have sex with the minor and that he knew she was underage. Schoening was released from custody January 19th, on a $10,000 bond.

Retiring Atlantic Municipal Utilities (AMU) General Manager Allen Bonderman has received the Iowa Association of Municipal Utilities’ (IAMU) Life Membership Award. The award was presented during IAMU’s Winter Meeting, in Des Moines, and was in recognition of Bonderman’s “37-years of leadership in the public power arena,” including his 12-years of service in Atlantic, and his significant involvement with IAMU, a statewide association that benefits more than 550 municipal utilities in Iowa.
Bonderman began his career working with municipal utilities more than 40-years ago. He’s worked in Atlantic for the past 12-years. While with AMU, he developed the first municipal WiFi service in the state of Iowa, allowing DSL, cable modem and alternative wireless services to be made available by other service providers, to Atlantic’s businesses and residents. He also worked to establish a scholarship program at AMU for local students to attend the power line worker training program at Northwest Iowa Community College.
During his career, Bonderman also earned the Energy Innovator Award from the American Public Power Association, for his development of an energy management system for the City of Sanborn, Iowa. AMU congratulates Bonderman on his long and successful municipal utility career.
AMES, Iowa (AP) — Sophomore Melvin Ejim is emerging as a key player for Iowa State this season. Ejim, a 6-foot-6 forward from Toronto, Ontario has blossomed into a steady swingman between star post player Royce White and Iowa State’s trio of talented guards; Chris Allen, Scott Christopherson and Chris Babb. Ejim is averaging 8.9 points a game, ranks ninth in the Big 12 with 6.4 rebounds a game and is shooting a respectable 46.6 percent from the floor. Coach Fred Hoiberg says Ejim excels as a defender and rebounder for the Cyclones, who will go for their fourth win in six games Saturday when they host Oklahoma.
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A monthly survey of bankers in 10 Midwest and Great Plains states shows the rural economy slowing down, but reflects strong gains in hiring and farmland prices. The Rural Mainstreet Index released Thursday dropped slightly from 59.8 last month to 59.6 in February. Anytime the index, which ranges from 1 to 100, is above 50, it suggests the economy will grow. Creighton University economist Ernie Goss, who oversees the survey, says he expects to see slower growth in farm income as a result of softer agriculture commodity prices and higher overhead costs. The economic confidence index, which reflects expectations for the economy six months out, rose to 60.3 from January’s 56.1. The survey covers Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Minnesota, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, Colorado and Wyoming.
