Cass County Deputy Auditor Sheri Karns reports four candidates for offices in Cumberland and Massena have filed nomination papers for the Nov. 5th City Elections in Cass County:
(Radio Iowa) — Governor Kim Reynolds met with the president Thursday to talk about ethanol policy. Governor Reynolds Tweeted last night (Thursday night) that she “appreciated the opportunity to meet with Trump at the White House to discuss the importance of ethanol to rural America!” She used an exclamation point at the end of that sentence, then concluded by saying she’ll “never stop fighting for” ethanol. A month ago, Trump gave the green light to waivers so oil refineries do not have to blend as much ethanol into gasoline. Reynolds has said Trump did not fully understand the negative impact that would have on the ethanol industry.
This (Friday) morning, Bloomberg News is reporting President Trump has revealed Iowa Senators Chuck Grassley and Joni Ernst, both U.S. Senators from South Dakota and Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse (SASS) were part of a “big meeting” at the White House about ethanol.

MUSCATINE, Iowa (AP) — A man has testified that he saw a woman now on trial for murder burn what he says were bloody clothes a day or two after the eastern Iowa slaying in 1992. The Muscatine Journal reports that Scott Payne told a jury Thursday that Annette Cahill said the clothes were covered with paint. He says he believed otherwise, because he knew the difference between red paint and blood from his days working in a pig slaughterhouse.
Cahill, now 56, was charged in May 2018 with first-degree murder in the beating death of her former boyfriend Corey Wieneke. Her first trial ended in a mistrial because jurors couldn’t reach a unanimous verdict. Payne didn’t testify about the clothes at the first trial, and he told a prosecutor that he didn’t report what he saw because he tried to avoid police, owing to what he says was his use of drugs and illegal driving.
Testimony is expected to resume today (Friday).

(8-a.m. News) — Clarinda Police Chief Keith Brothers reports that at around 10-p.m. Thursday, September 12th, officers responded to a shots fired call at a Clarinda business. Investigation revealed that 46-year old Robert Christopher Cook, of Casper, Wyoming, allegedly shoved and directed racial and ethnic slurs at 25-year old Luis David Ramos, of Denison. Ramos retaliated and struck Cook in the face with a closed fist.
Cook then retrieved a Glock .45 caliber pistol from his room, and allegedly brandished the pistol in a threatening manner before firing a shot into the air. Cook then began chasing Ramos, who was able to retreat to safety until police arrived. Cook suffered injuries to his face, and was transported to Clarinda Regional Health Center for treatment. He was later released from the hospital and transported to the Page County Jail, where he was being held on charges that include for going armed with intent, aggravated assault and reckless use of a firearm.
A charge of assault resulting in bodily injury is pending against Ramos. Reports concerning the incident have been submitted to the Page County Attorney’s Office for review regarding the filing of formal charges.
