A Red Oak man was arrested this (Wednesday) morning on a warrant out of Mills County. The Montgomery County Sheriff’s office reports 19-year old Nathan Allen Aldrich was taken into custody on felony warrants for eluding and Theft in the 1st degree/Possession of Stolen Property.
Aldrich was being held in the Montgomery County Jail on $15,000 cash bond. He’s scheduled to appear before a judge on Thursday.
CRESTON, Iowa (AP) – Authorities say they have arrested an 18-year-old Afton man and recovered dozens of stolen firearms from an abandoned Union County farmhouse. About 40 guns were recovered. The Des Moines Register reports that authorities Monday charged Eric K. Downey with second-degree burglary. He remained Tuesday in the Union County Jail.
Authorities say they also are searching for a 17-year-old in connection with six break-ins in Union and Ringgold counties. Union County Sheriff Rick Piel says four burglaries were in Union County. Two were in Ringgold County.
Besides the sheriff’s offices, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the Iowa Division of Criminal Investigation and Afton police worked on the case.
A man from Osceola was killed and a woman from Tingley was injured, during a crash this (Wednesday) morning between an SUV and a pickup in Union County. The Iowa State Patrol says the driver of the pickup, 51-year old Dick Downing, from Osceola, died, when his vehicle rear-ended an SUV driven by 35-year old Brandi Shay, of Tingley.
The accident happened at around 7:40-a.m on Highway 34, near Afton. Officials say the Downing and Shay vehicles were traveling west on the highway when Shay’s Chevy Suburban slowed down and was rear-ended by Downing’s Chevy pickup.
Shay was injured in the crash, while Downing died at the scene. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts. The accident remained under investigation.
Officials at Southwestern Community College say Downing was a Carpentry instructor at the school. Counselors will be on-hand for students and staff to help them deal with their loss.
The Cass County Board of Supervisors have passed the third and final reading of a Rural Addressing ordinance. The action came and subsequent adoption of the ordinance came during their meeting this (Wednesday) morning, in Atlantic. The ordinance will provide for an orderly street and address system in the unincorporated areas of the County.
The Board also acted on approving a Cooperative Reimbursement agreement for 2012 with the Department of Human Services Bureau of Collections for Child Support Recovery. Cass County is the host for the program as a political subdivision.
Auditor Dale Sunderman says the amendment, which is effective as of July 1st, 2011, changes three sections of the original agreement, including IRS confidentiality. Another section deals with records, and requires those records to be maintained for a period of seven-years. A new, the third section is with regard to audits, for amounts over $500,000. Since the County received a grant in excess of that amount last Fiscal Year, an audit has already been conducted, so that requirement has been met.
The Board also discussed at length the replacement of sidewalks in the City Park, with Atlantic Parks and Recreation Department Director, Travis Garrett. The City of Atlantic will be replacing its portion of the sidewalks in the City Park. About one-third of the sidewalk which need to be replaced are owned by the County.
Garrett said if the County were to share in the cost for labor and materials, it’s portion would be about $3,245. The total cost of the project was estimated to be $30,625. Garrett says the County’s share of the project was calculated at 13.6-percent. He says with the added engineering fees, the total would be approximately $4,165.
After much discussion the Supervisors authorized Garrett to go out for bids on the project, but they thought it unnecessary for the County to pay for engineering costs in its section, when it already has an Engineer. The Board said while the bids are being obtained, they would get a separate cost estimate on the County’s share of the project and compare that with the bids received.
There is a time crunch in getting the project started and completed. City Officials have said they would like the park’s sidewalks finished in-time for RAGBRAI, on July 24th.

I know that we can play better than this. Matt and Evan shot good rounds.
We needed two guys in the 70s. Hopefully we can get that at the next meet.

Coach Shawn Petersen’s Comments —
This was a good bounce-back win for the girls — we suffered a tough loss last night at Shenandoah, and going on the road to Harlan is always difficult. Petersen and Heese were too much for Liz and Shelby at the top two spots; Carli lost a tough one to McGrath at #3 — both girls played well enough to win; I was proud of Carli, though — she had to fight off several match points against her just to get to a tiebreak, but lost in the end. Morgan continued her winning streak — she has yet to lose at #4 for us. Sarah and Tierney were both down early in their matches before getting some things going offensively. I was happy for those two, who lost tough ones last night at Shen.
In doubles, at #1 both teams seesawed back-and-forth throughout the match; it probably would’ve gone 5 if we had played 3 of 5 sets; Shelby served tough to force a tiebreak, and it was a well-played match by all 4 girls. This was probably the best doubles Shelby has played, and it was a good time to bring it on. Our #2 team may have played their best match of the year as well, and Tierney and Sarah got a good win at #3 — their second in a row. This ends a difficult stretch for the girls, who have a few days where hopefully we can get some practice time in, which is much needed. We conclude our regular season at home Monday against Denison, before competing at conference and at regionals.

It was a great day to be a Trojann!! Successfully defended our title from
2010. Very much a team effort. All six girls shot under 100. Very
pleased with our scores and very pleased with how these girls represented
Atlantic on the course. 5 girls earned medals by placing in top 12. Our
team total of 356 is our lowest 18 hole score – previously it was 367
during the Hawkeye 10 conference meet at Clarinda in 2009.
The Iowa State Patrol says three people were injured during a near head-on collision between a pickup truck and a semi Tuesday evening, in northern Page County. Officials say the driver of the pickup, 38-year old Gary Runyon, Jr., of Coin, was not wearing a seat belt. He was flown by LifeNet Helicopter to the University of Nebraska Medical Center following the crash, which occurred at around 6:10-p.m., about 5-miles southwest of Villisca.
A passenger in the pickup, 17-year old Rocky Runyon, of College Springs, and the driver of the semi, 25-year old Phillip Kasha, of Villisca, were wearing their seat belts, but suffered injuries in the crash. They were transported by Villisca Ambulance to the Montgomery County Memorial Hospital.
The Patrol says Runyon’s 1993 Ford F-150 was traveling west on 102nd Street at the same time the 1996 International semi driven by Kasha, was heading east. The pickup was just left of the center line when it collided left front side to left front side with the semi.
